My issue started yesterday when my Seagate 2TB Internal SATA HDD just disappeared from Explorer while the PC was running. Initially, I tried to check Disk Management but it took a long time connecting to the Virtual Disk service. I checked BIOS and it wasn't on the list of storage devices. I...

So I'm considering upgrading/replacing my Corsair H50 mostly because it's not cooling well anymore. From reading around I realised that it's a budget cooler and hence it's short lifespan. I'm just wondering if someone can recommend me a liquid cooling kit that is actually more reliable than the...

So I just got an unexpected shut down today while playing Fallout 4 followed by what I can describe as an electric sound. This alarmed me of course but there was no smell like when my Power supply failed a few months ago and I can't turn it back on anymore. Nothing happens when I push the power...

So I've been having temp problems recently particularly with my Video card and some of the motherboard components that fall under the Temp 2 category in SpeedFan(IT8728F x 4, SB7xx/8xx PM2 x 4). I installed a new fan on top of the case as an exhaust fan following a guide on case airflow online...

Update: The problem is in fact the video card not my CPU(CPU temp seems to be not too bad now). But I have no idea how to fix it. Googling it revealed that it is in fact a very common problem with the 970 but all the solutions that people have posted haven't worked for me. I tried all sorts of...

Thanks for the reply guys, good to know Got the 900W years ago and it has lasted quite some time. I think what killed it was thermal paste from my CPU which melted in the heat and somehow dripped down on it as when I removed it, there were splashes of white sticky liquid on the back of the power...

Hi guys, Recently I had some problems with my old Antec High Current Gamer PSU (900W) and I got throttling in FPS while playing games and then it just died(my PC kept shutting down unexpectedly and there was a burning smell) So I came to the conclusion that it was the PSU on it's last legs. Went...

So I recently upgraded to the Gigabyte Geforce 4GB GTX 970 Twin Turbo OC (N970TTOC-4GD). While at first it worked just fine I later noticed that in certain demanding games like the Witcher 3 and FFXVII every 10-15 secs the frame rate would drop to like 10fps for like 4-5 seconds and then go...

Old card was a GeForce 760 GTX, new one is a 970 GTX both are 4GB. Old CPU was an AMD FX 4100, new one is an AMD 8350. Don't remember what the model of my mobo is but it's a Gigabyte brand one for the AM3/3+ socket CPU. It seems to be working now, I think I've found the solution. I unplugged...

I recently upgraded my CPU and Graphics card and encountered a blue screen when I tried to boot into...
