    Question I think my PSU is failing, how do I know for sure?

    Sorry for the late reply. I dont know I think that sound must be the PSU. Just a side note: The sound is only on startup and then the fan starts working fine. I think my PC is still fine with what I do with it, maybe get a new one in a few years or if the motherboard goes out or something. The...

    Question I think my PSU is failing, how do I know for sure?

    Of course I didn't open the power supply. I can't be sure where the sound is coming from but like I said, I suspect its from the PSU. I have a AMD GPU, so in their adrenaline software it has always just been on default settings, which is all of the options off. By options I mean things like...

    Question I think my PSU is failing, how do I know for sure?

    So my PC is 7 years old and I don't have the original parts list, I know that was stupid. But I opened it up and its a thermaltake, I think this is the one it is: https://thermaltakeusa.com/products/toughpower-grand-rgb-650w-gold-full-modular-ps-tpg-0650fpcgus-r - it's gold/rgb and 650w Thanks!

    Question I think my PSU is failing, how do I know for sure?

    Hello. My PC has been acting up these past few months, I'm not sure if any of these issues are related, but I think my power supply is going out. So for over the past 2 years on bootup my PC makes this noise which I can only describe as a fan getting going, it stops after a while and everything...

    Question I need some NAS/Media server advice

    Thanks for the response. So I'm not too put off by doing it myself if it saves money. That said, I was willing to allocate about $300 to this project. If I can get everything for $250 and it turns out to be much easier (and a decent deal) like the link you mentioned about the DIY NAS, then I...

    Question What is the Best/Cheapest NAS route for me?

    Yes, I know it means network attached but it's my understanding that this typically means local area network. I would like to be able to access it from anywhere. I don't really want to spend anything, but I saw one for like $100 that automated most of this and was a SSD. I mean realistically I...

    Question What is the Best/Cheapest NAS route for me?

    Hello. So I am wanting a NAS for backup purposes and the possibility of SSH "ing" to it from anywhere. I know I have a lot of options on how to do this. I'm trying to use what I've got, so I have an old raspberry pi that I'm looking into but I think it's a pi 2B or something? I bought it years...

    Question Bluetooth not even showing up

    Hello. So I have a refurbished Dell Optiplex 9020. It is supposed to come with bluetooth/wifi but neither is working. I am more concerned about the bluetooth though. I've tried so many things. The "turn BT on" button just is not there. Bluetooth isnt even shown in device manager. I have tried...

    Would it be good to update my BIOS?

    Hey. So I just upgraded to Windows 11 and it seems to be a bit slower and sometimes hanging as compared to windows 10. - That may be a problem. Well, I looked at the manufacturer of my motherboard and it has a bios file update that says "windows 11 supported" - Should I go ahead and update...

    I'm trying to understand how to use easybcd because most of the options like "view settings" "edit boot menu" are greyed out (i mean after being clicked on). under backup/repair I think I can reset the configuration so try that? thanks
