    Question What could cause this issue?

    Considering I never had this issue on my old gpu (7950) which used the same psu, I would be more inclined to assume it is a gpu issue rather than a psu issue. I guess I will have to return it then :( For the vertical tearing, I tried with a replacement monitor of the same model, which had the...

    Question What could cause this issue?

    Hi rdg1101, thanks for the reply. I have tried with two different monitors and I get the same issue with the missing image. However, the vertical tearing I was only able to produce on one of the monitors.

    Question What could cause this issue?

    Hi, I am having weird issues with my pc, and I am not sure if this is a ram specific issue or if my GPU is also bad. I have a refurb RX 580 8gb, and I have seen the following graphical glitches. I am in the processing of upgrading from my current setup to a Ryzen one, and I already know...

    is this normal temperature?

    I recently bought a toshiba satellite radius and when streaming hd video it hovers at around 60 degrees Celsius and the fan is quite loud. It has a i5 6200u and intel hd 520 and I have put it in high performance mode. Is this a normal temperature for just streaming hd video?

    Are thermaltake CPU cases good?

    I have a White NZXT phantom 410 which i found to be pretty good quality. However I did experience yellowing maybe due to sunlight but NZXT sent me new panels at no cost which I thought was great. Maybe avoid their white cases.

    Should I RMA or try to fix my gpu

    I ended up sending it for RMA as it was the cheaper and safer option.

    Should I RMA or try to fix my gpu

    My MSI 7950 TF3 has been having an issue. The second fan, the one furthest from the ports does not spin unless I manually set the fan speed to 85%+ in afterburner. I had a look online and people have had success with replacing the fans. However it is still under warranty and I could RMA it...

    Dell Latitude any good?

    I am looking to get a laptop for university and found the Dell Latitude E7440 refurbished on offer £360 so it seems like a pretty good price. It has an Intel Core i5 4300U 1.9GHz, 8gb RAM, 128gb ssd, and 1920x1080 display. 14 inch display seems like it would be good in terms of carrying around...

    Thoughts on this laptop

    If it helps the only gaming I'll be doing is maybe a little bit of LoL but I have a PC for this. I'll be mainly doing word processing and programming for computer science.

    my laptop don't come on with power button, but come on if I remove and re-install the battery

    This actually made me laugh so hard. Check the manual or google the name of the laptop and look on youtube for a review or something similar where they turn on the laptop. As a last resort go back to where you bought it from and ask or telephone customer support.

    Asus F554LA-NH51 Notebook SSD worth it?

    Yes it can, almost every laptop can. In terms of what to get it depends on your budget and what capacity you want, as well the level of performance you want from the ssd. Sandisk is pretty cheap and my sandisk SSD has been going strong for 3 years now, so I would recommend that if you are on a...
