    Question PC sometimes is not turning on

    again that could be not enough power. however I trust your aware your pc has a sleep button feature? and that depending on how it's set you may have difficulties with the front button and become confused? (pwr button questions were very common when atx/sleep motherboards first came out...

    Question PC sometimes is not turning on

    that deserves a separate question thread. add the max power consumption of each component. add a little to the result to be safe. a power supply that isn't delivering enough watts will cause the computer to intermittently not boot - situationally - if it is on the borderline

    Question Drive shows an extra 250GB of data in use after a clean Windows install ?

    Your running windows 10 and want correct information? That's a problem! :love::ROFLMAO: (you have not discussed file tables formats and set asides: i assume your not ready for the conversation. you should not do anything to try to correct it: let win10 manage it) (windows may become...

    Question What 8-10TB "better" HDD drive to buy...?

    You din't mention if you have your 4TB backed up or how you will back up your 10TB drive. are you using 10TB tapes? If not: i suggest backing off. get a 5TB plus (external 5TB backup drive) or 10TB with 10TB of passport drive. or an extra 5TB (a pair of drives - and hope/gamble an...

    Question My PC is now very slow and the games won't open ?

    check your windows 10 logs. it may show HD re-connecting at slow speed if you have a cable problem. or something else surprising.

    Question 3.5-inch SATA HDD not recognized on new build ?

    check cable, obviously (i'm confused how your booting - are you booting from USB or SDD? does your motherboard support SDD and SATA both simultaneously? are you sure? some older ones didn't) AHCI is enabled vs RAID in "device manager"? obviously see if you can click on "enable device" in...

    Question Why can't I use both DIMM slots on Asus Prime A320M-K/CSM ?

    Did you follow the motherboard manual's demands for memory exactly? (you can't use two banks if the memory is is the wrong type, and so on, on some boards) i'm unsure if a video card can alter the bank requirement of memory. but i am sure the "memory hole" setting can effect things (i know...

    Question Can I power my Asus Tuf B550M Plus WiFi II with USB-C just to update BIOS drivers ?

    i checked 1-6 and it DOES NOT confirm or deny the question (my advice is: dont do it if you can't afford to brick the board. call asus.) i can say on my older ancient MSI board (usb 3.0a?) that "powered usb 3.0" is only supported after booting win10 and activating (driver/software...

    Question Blurry/grainy textures

    Your example photos are terrible 👽 With my not so good eyes I think i see "a blurry texture on the column of the pedestal" but the light spot on the table looks "smooth" i can't see the complaint unless that it is the complain "it should appear as a mirror partly" So. Is this a pre-rendered...

    Question Blurry/grainy textures

    You didn't say what OS. If it's ubuntu then read NVidia developer forums comments on Ubuntu and EGL. And anyhow nvidia developer forum is a good forum for such problems.

    Build Advice New PC build for under $1200 USD for programing purposes and occasional gaming ?

    Personally: I usually focus on the Monitor and keyboard. A bad monitor makes for a poor Terminal no matter how fast the cpu. Good monitors have very good contrast ratio and 72Hz or better. Good keyboard I think are no longer made (all are dang silicon mushroom type) On the other hand if you...

    Question FPS drops on high-end system ?

    You should ask others before "throwing parts" (buying parts to solve a problem and finding they don't solve the problem). I have 0 idea. How about naming the game and how many FPS are dropped? or the benchmark expected and the benchmark seen? I have no idea if I would be troubleshooting 5fps...

    [SOLVED] ASUS ROG 0db. Linux. How do I know if 0dB is working?

    SOLVED. Sorry. i had moved my 2 HD - and acoustically they are now "noisier" and sound like "older new bearing fans" (i've used quiet sleeve a while). HARD DRIVE NOISE. Turns out the ASUS ROG is so quiet I COULD NOT HEAR IT. I had to have cover off and put my hand under it: it is working...

    Question Are double bearing fans supposed to be noisy-er?

    i stayed away from "fluid bearing" fearing the ads were hype and they are too new for bad reports (that they are re-advertised sleve types). it is good to hear someone believes the new sleeve designs are better! also i did NOT see any corsair in my price range with maglev. didn't even see ads...

    Question I've been using an EVGA N1 750w with my 6650xt for the past 8 months. what should i do now!?!?

    I guess your options are: * stop gaming :censored: and you'll be within power limits * get a Hantek oscilloscope and see if your power is being deliverered * run it until it fails :) not always safe but plent of people have had PS fail, put in a new one, with not-noticeable board damage I...
