Yup. Non-standard hardware is great business. When I changed my Echo dot from 2nd to 3rd gen, I discovered they were no longer using micro-USB. If it were up to these companies, they'd have us buy proprietory switch and sockets to plug their stuff in.

Oh, you're right, my power bank's output is 5v, so it won't work.

Where can I find a USB power cable for my Airtel Router? I already have a perfectly capable power bank which I can use with it, but the power adapter which comes with the router doesn't have USB cable.

You don't need a GPU for music production. This APU based build will give you more than good enough graphics performance for your needs. Go for a 1440p monitor if you're buying 27". With FHD, it's impossible to actually make use of the bigger screen because there just aren't enough pixels...

It seems unlikely to be the PSU. Nevertheless, I'll get it checked. At least for PC components, this doesn't seem to be as big of a problem as other consumer electronics. PC components are the only thing where you still see 3 year warranty on almost everything, some also going as high as 10...

Hey, thanks. Already got it from thenawab

I'll probably skip this for the time being, will try to get it checked at a repair shop first. I don't have a multimeter. Thanks for the offer though. I'll try to find a repair shop first. Yes, learnt my lesson. The card had just gone out of warranty and keep hearing people using cards for...

Thanks for the suggestions folks. I tried removing the RAM and plugging them back one by one in a different slot, then loosened the battery. The battery wasn't coming out with the GPU in, so I decided to try booting once more before removing the GPU to remove the battery. And somehow the PC just...

A few days ago, my PC stopped booting all of a sudden. When I shut it down, it was working fine, next time I switched it on, it wouldn't turn on. At first, the VGA light on my motherboard was lit, indicating issue with GPU. But after trying a couple of things (removing one stick of RAM...
