    Question What is this white patch on my monitor?

    I think you are correct about pixels getting stuck on one colors and unable to block white light. I checked with a digital microscope I had lying around. I have edited the question with few pictures. Thanks. If you think this is something else, let me know.

    Question What is this white patch on my monitor?

    Is it like burn in of oleds? Or something else, cuz I cannot see any particular image that has burned there, just rgb pixels seem to have become visible over some black layer which is supposed to diffuse them, i guess.

It isn't an issue normally except when I am using dark mode OR playing a game that has a lot of dark scenery. On white background, its unnoticeable. Two images below, swipe to change. View...

    Question HDD and Sata Power cable issue.

    Thanks for pointing that out. I knew it was a cheap one but didnt knew about the fake wattage! Local computer repair shop put it in 6-7 years back when I had very little knowledge about PSUs and computer parts. I hope upgrading it would fix my problem.

    Question HDD and Sata Power cable issue.

    It began with me turning on my PC and launching a program, which gave me a pop up telling me that the shortcut cannot locate its source file to launch. I checked disk management(I have one SSD and one HDD in my PC) and saw that the HDD was offline. Another pop up asked me to choose between MBR...

    Question H61 chipset and available PCIe lanes ?

    Thanks, Why would it not choose PCIe 2.0 x16? Is it because just like gt 1030 has x4 connections on pcb, the 6600 has only x8 connections?

    Question H61 chipset and available PCIe lanes ?

    Thanks a lot. Which spec of GPU tells how much PCIe bandwidth it will requires for optimal performance? Will rx 6600 saturate x16 of PCIe 2.0?

    Question H61 chipset and available PCIe lanes ?

    I reseated the gpu twice and checked for any dust or obstruction but it is still working at PCIe x4 2.0@ x4 2.0. 1. What does PCIe x4 2.0@ x4 2.0 exaclty means? does it means mobo is only allowing x4 2.0 and gpu is using that? 2. I have attached two pictures of my gpu, does it looks like a x4...

    Question H61 chipset and available PCIe lanes ?

    I bought a cheap H61 motherboard last year and installed an i5-2400 CPU, plus an Nvidia 1030 GPU in the motherboard's one and only x16 slot. Gpu-z shows bus interface to be PCIe x4 2.0 @ x4 2.0 even after putting it under load. After checking online, I found that the processor supports 16...
