So after many hours of mem testing and no crash in a few weeks it seems changing the frequency of the RAM back tot he advertised 1600mHz did it.

It's not immediate shutdown whenever I game or anything, it's happened hours in. The PSU seems a likely candidate as it's a crappy Raidmax RS-630SS (It came with the DIY bundle unfortunately). My Gpu is an XFX R9 270x, and my core is an FX8350. I believe that the motherboard slightly overclocks...

Hi all. I built my first computer somewhat recently and lately I've had some problems with random shutdowns during gaming that I think were caused by my RAM. I downloaded memtest and dissapointingly immediately got two errors. For the sake of depleting free options before doing an RMA or...

That's not really an option. Can anyone label out a specific component that would cause this? :s The rig works perfectly except the 2 times this has happened over a few weeks.

Hi, I recently put together my first gaming computer. After a few days I went to turn it on and got no display and was also unable to turn the computer off with the front panel power switch. I ended up finding someone that said to unplug the computer and hold the power button for 30 sec, and...

Hi, I recently ordered parts for my first build and got a DOA PSU that is currently in RMA. Also my motherboard is making a high pitched sound from a component powered by the CMOS battery, as there is no PSU in my computer. But that's besides the point. I got on craigslist and found two SSD's...

There is no power to the computer. ( http://gyazo.com/511740295f530e267470ed145aff7e83 ) The only source of energy in the computer is the CMOS battery, so the noise is coming from a component it powers. The component that is making the noise is this one (...

I also got a DOA PSU with my build too. Unfortunately it was a Raidmax PSU that came with the Newegg bundle. The motherboard was making the noise before I tested the PSU though. Hopefully I won't have to pay to RMA another part and hopefully the second PSU will work; and if it doesn't I'm just...

I recently ordered parts to my first build and the motherboard is emitting a very high pitched squeal although it has no power to it. The noise stops when I remove the CMOS battery and I will provide a picture showing its exact origin. Should I be concerned?
