    Question New PC won't boot (possible VGA problem?)

    Hey everyone. I've recently changed the Mobo and RAMs of my main computer. Everything went fine. However, after installing the old parts on my mother's computer, her PC won't boot. All the components light up and the CPU sounds like it's working, but nothings appears on her monitor. There are...

    Question Upgrading my RTX 3070

    Thanks! In your opinion, is it worth getting a 7900XTX? Considering the stutters and potential problems. Also, if I were to get a 7900XTX or an RTX 4070Ti/4080, would I have to upgrade my CPU?

    Question Upgrading my RTX 3070

    Good evening, everyone. While playing Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield, I have the feeling it's time to upgrade my setup, specially the GPU. I'm on a 55" TV that supports 120hz and I play every game on 4k. My FPS on Cyberpunk has been averaging 75 using the preset Medium and having every new...

    [SOLVED] Gigabyte B660M DS3H & Kingston HyperX Predator OC ?

    Thanks a lot! Changing the modules from slots 1 and 3 to 2 and 4 fixed it. They're running fine at XMP 1 (3500Mhz) now. No idea why that happened though, and I'm embarrassed for not trying that earlier.

    [SOLVED] Gigabyte B660M DS3H & Kingston HyperX Predator OC ?

    Hello, everyone. I have a Gigabyte B660M DS3H motherboard and two 8GB Kingston HyperX Predator RAM modules. In my old motherboard I used to be able to get the RAM frequency up to 3500Mhz or so without any issues. Ever since I got this new motherboard and a new processor, I can't get anywhere...

    Question Notebook won't turn on if any fan is connnected

    Thanks for your reply. The notebook decided to turn on now, with or without a fan connected. Could have been a short-circuit, but I'm not sure. I'm using it for short periods over one of those fan docking stations while I monitor the temperature. After carefully inspecting the input with a...

    Question Notebook won't turn on if any fan is connnected

    Hello everyone. I own a Dell i13-5378-A30C notebook. For a few weeks I've noticed it was heating a lot (reaching almost 90ºC under stress). The CPU cooler was also making weird noises so I thought it was time to replace it. When I installed the new one, I think I might have pushed the tiny...

    [SOLVED] Graphical issues after updating the TV's firmware using a EVGA RTX 2070

    Thank you. That led me to finding out what the problem was. I'll leave it out there in case it's useful to someone. Even though my screen's native resolution is 3840x2160, I can still play games at 4096x2160 just fine. However, since my Windows is still set at 3840, and I Alt+Tab while playing...

    [SOLVED] Graphical issues after updating the TV's firmware using a EVGA RTX 2070

    Hello, nice to meet everyone. Once I found out I hadn't updated my TV's firmware since 2019, I decided to do it. Now I've been experiencing graphical bugs ever since. The TV is connected to my PC. The problems are usually related to shadows and shades of black. It's hard to describe so I took...

    [SOLVED] Can't OC HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB 8GB to 4000Mhz

    I have recently bought two Hyperx 8GB memory modules. They're supposed to run at 4000MHz using XMP Profile 1, however, it's not working. After saving the settings during the BIOS setup, the screen goes black and the monitor says there's no signal. It stays that way for about 20 seconds until...

    Need help with external HD repair

    Hey. My 2TB Samsung M2 Portable has recently died. It's about 5 years old and I admit I could have been taking better care of it by always ejecting before removing the cord. Now every time I plug it into the PC it takes a while to load and Windows asks me if I want to format it. It shows up at...
