I'm hoping to get Seasonic G series 450w. This is specs: Intel i7 3770K CPU 3.5Ghz ASUS P8Z77-V Motherboard. AMD HD 7950 3GB 128GB Samsung SSD 830 500GB Western Digital 1TB Seagate HDD 16GB Corsair XMS 3 Memory Samsung Blu Ray driver ASUS DVD-RW Any ideas...

Yeah, I did. But it's dodgy. I installed them and restarted my PC. When my PC loads up, the installation wizard pops up. This happens to every P8z77-V driver on their website. ASUS is absolute terrible at updating their drivers or even making them work.

I always heard it is not recommended to install multiple drivers at once as it may conflict with other drivers. Yet, ASUS have this feature on their motherboard CD which allow installing multiple drivers at the same time. I went to install Intel Rapid Storage Technology, ASmedia RAID, Intel...

I build a new rig (not overclocked) and I want to know if everything is stable, and I don't have a faulty CPU or motherboard?

I upgraded my CPU and motherboard. Since than, I had PC restart on me and crash. But I had no BSOD. What could be the problem? If I don't get BSOD does that mean the hardware is working properly and that the drivers are the ones causing it to crash? Here is my PC spec CPU: AMD FX 8350 4.0Ghz...

I'm trying to build my little brother(19 years old) PC. I bought a AMD 6300 CPU for a fairly cheap price.( I can't say how cheap because of OCUK rule) He is doing 3D rendering at first year of Uni. He said he may overclock it to get more of MAYA software. But I don't know about which...
