Hey guys, for the past few months I have been having a lot of issues with my PC shutting off randomly in times of need. I manage a blog and a YouTube channel as a second form of income and whenever I would be streaming, playing video games or doing too much at the same time my computer would...

Would something like a swap for an AMD A-8 6600K work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113333&cm_re=a_series_apu-_-19-113-333-_-Product

Hey guys, one of my good friends from work had his computer go out on him within the past week. He was running an old Intel dual core computer, but it got the job done. He did notice lots of lag time here and there, but was able to work with it. The software he will be using is just a VLC...

Hey guys, I built my computer about a year ago and here recently it has been shutting off without notice. Im not sure why it is doing this, I do not think it is overheating but it is possible. How do I diagnose the problem so I can look into fixing it? Could this be a power supply issue...

Yeah. It's in port one, bios sees it in port one as well.

My board is the 2.0. It doesn't have the black ports. It let me do a factory restore on my HDD but I still have the start up issues.

I'm using an Asus M5 99X Evo R2.0. And yeah, I get the blue screen right before the logo finished. I can put my HDD back in my old rig and it will start up. Am I going to need to buy a fresh copy of 7?

I am plugged into SATA-1. I don't see a 0, although my manual says I can create a RAID-0 configuration through my SB950 controller. Trying to figure out what that means.

How would I go about doing so? My old build does not have a windows disk. Would I be able to just go buy a new disk and use the same HDD or would I need to purchase a new hard drive as well?

Hey guys, yesterday I finally received the last few parts for my gaming PC build. Unfortunately, windows will now not start up at all. My motherboard, CPU, and RAM all get read properly, and I have connection to my monitor through my video card. BIOS will start up but when windows tried to...

Yeah, I do plan on liquid cooling this build after Christmast, my old mobo is some AMD3 not AMD3+ so it isnt compatible with my new CPU. :/

Hey guys, I have recently purchased parts for a new gaming PC that I am building on a budget. I will be recycling old parts from my current PC until I can afford other upgrades. I also have a few questions. I plan on reusing my HDD from my current computer, is there anyway I can just wipe it...

Hey guys, I was wanting to update my rig considering it was a Walmart PC that I purchased 2 years ago. I added a Corsair GS60 600W PSU and a Radeon HD 6770 GPU. I want to upgrade because of my low end CPU. But can only do so in little amounts. Here is what I am thinking. I currently own a...
