Thanks to you both! I apparently set my Windows' accent color to red at some point, but I didn't remember it since I disabled the accent color on Start, Taskbar, Title bars and Window borders. So this was one of the only places still using the accent color.

Hi, all the cells in my task manager are colored red. This indicates something is wrong. But even cells with very low resource usage are colored red. Is this a bug in Windows? It's been like this for as long as I can remember, but on my previous computer these cells were usually yellow.

Thank you, just wanted to make sure there weren’t any glaring mistakes or bottlenecks is all. P.S. Simply a gaming setup, drive is 970 Evo plus in a standard case (cooler fits).

Hey, what do you think of this combination before I buy? CPU: i7-12700F Cooler: Dark rock pro 4 Mobo: MSI PRO B660M-A DDR4 RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB (3200) GPU: GeForce RTX 3070 8G PSU: Seasonic Focus GX-650 (Estimated wattage is 500)

Hi all, I have been using my brand new PC for about 30 days and it is working perfectly fine. However, when I start up the computer, the motherboard's CPU light turns red for a second indicating a serious issue! The DRAM light then turns orange for a second. The VGA light turns white afterwards...

This amazon bundle is sadly not available for purchase, at least not to me. I could buy the ETS-T50 from another shop and order the free mounting kit from Enermax.. but it would probably take weeks to arrive whereas all the other parts take 1-3 days, which would make it a painful wait.

Hey @Why_Me I'm having some trouble with the cooler. Please see this list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VGtH78 There is a warning that the cooler does not properly mount on the motherboard. This motherboard seems to have that issue with a lot of coolers. The Deepcool AS500 Plus, also...

Thanks for the fractal pop mini air suggestion, it looks great! I'll go for that then. Do you think there's a similar motherboard that isn't army green but works as well? Any neutral color would fit better than this, I think. I found MSI's 'B660M Mortar' as opposed to Bazooka, which is black...

So there is a small problem, since I'll place this tower on my desk I was thinking about getting a case with RGB support, which the 'Phanteks Eclipse P400A Digital' version of the case supports for a few extra bucks. The thing is... that case doesn't appear to have the fan speed controller on...

Thanks for your reply - do you think it's worth going for the 12600K for my purposes? Or could it be bottlenecked by the GPU? I also wasn't sure about the Phanteks Eclipse P400A Mid Tower Case you suggested, because I heard that the fans can be relatively loud... what do you think? Lastly do...

I'll be building a new PC and want to finalize a parts list. Thanks again to @Why_Me for the build below! (I've made minimal changes) I'm looking for some more opinions on this parts list: PSU: Seasonic Focus GX-550 550W 80+ Gold Modular Power Supply (€75) Motherboard: Gigabyte B660M GAMING X...

Thanks so much for your in-depth advice! I have a few questions. Do you recommend the Crucial P2 1TB M.2 over the Samsung 970 EVO Plus ? I've seen a lot of people here recommending the latter which is in the same price range. Your recommendation is practically a complete build - since I have...

OK, first of all did you assemble this PC yourself or did you buy it pre-assembled? Is your CPU overclocked ? What are your specs anyways? Is there a pattern in the sense that your PC restarts whenever you are using an intensive program (CPU issue), or are there more intensive programs which...

If your PSU is melted on the inside, then it would be wise to get a new PSU either way because using a damaged PSU could cause damage to a number of other components. However, you said your graphics cards is showing light, meaning it's receiving power. It's possible the PSU is unable to power...
