    onboard & selectable RAM question

    I primarily use Photoshop and Illustrator with very large files and they're quite RAM hungry. I should've indicated that in my original post, my bad! Also, it's ThinkPad E14 Gen 2 with a Ryzen 5 4600. I thought so re: matching pair, but if one is soldered and the other is removable, can they be...

    onboard & selectable RAM question

    I haven't bought a laptop in decades so I apologize if this is a stupid question When customizing my Lenovo laptop I can either get 4gb onboard and 16gb selectable (20 total) or 8gb onboard and 8gb selectable (16 total) for the same price Is there any reason (e.g. speed) to go with 8+8 or...

    [SOLVED] PC restarting often

    I just wanted to come back and follow up in case anyone else is searching and comes across this thread: I tested with other RAM, another GPU, another PSU that I knew was working, bare minimum peripherals, Windows v 1909, Windows v 2004, old and new drivers.... NOTHING worked, same Kernel Power...

    [SOLVED] Second NVME no longer being detected by Bios or Windows

    I'm not sure I can. I used the Windows Media Creation tool with version 2004 on it to install.

    [SOLVED] Second NVME no longer being detected by Bios or Windows

    Yes, should I roll back? I have, there's nothing there. Chipset is updated. While attempting to update the SATA drivers I got another Kernel Power 41 error and the system restarted (no BSOD). Still at a loss about that... I did this, and it turns out the Intel drive is still working. Does...

    [SOLVED] Second NVME no longer being detected by Bios or Windows

    Hi all My PC was restarting with Kernel Power Error 41 so often to the point where it was unusable, so I've been testing various components, reset the bios to default and formatting my boot NVME to start from scratch. I've got to reasonable stability (still about 1 crash per day), however, the...

    [SOLVED] PC restarting often

    Sorry if I wasn't clear - I was already checking temps with Open Hardware Monitor. They're in the normal range, even at the point of crashing. It's started shutting down all the time now, not just under load, so I think I have to take it in to the store to test/replace the power supply. Thanks...

    [SOLVED] PC restarting often

    I considered this, I was watching the temps remotely with my phone and OHM (not sure how accurate that is). CPU was at ~57C and all fans seemed to be working when it shut down. I'll start up RDR2 again and watch the GPU too. I really wanted it to be temps, that's easier to fix! Thanks for the...

    [SOLVED] PC restarting often

    No message, prob not software. The power just completely cuts off and the PC is off, then immediately starts up again.

    [SOLVED] PC restarting often

    Hi all Today my PC started restarting and has done so 3-4 times in the past few hours. It seems fine when surfing the web but as soon as I start a game or tax it at all, it just switches off and on again. I changed the power cord and extension lead and it is still happening. There was a...

    Question Should I partition a 2tb NVMe for Win 10?

    Hi, I've read around some of the threads I could could find. I'm doing a fresh install of Win 10 to my new 2tb 660p. Should I partition a section just for Windows and another section for everything else? If so, what size would you suggest for each partition? Thanks

    Question GPU upgrading + choices

    I watched a lot of benchmark videos, the 2060 is pretty close and even outperforms in some cases. Plus it would come with a warranty. I'm not in the UK or US so shipping adds another ~$40 to the ebay price unfortunately

    Question GPU upgrading + choices

    My board can't crossfire and older AMD cards are a bit power hungry. Thanks though. Anyone else have an opinion?
