    Question Macbook 2008 screen fading to grey every few seconds and nothing working

    Got a weird issue here! I've been given a 2008 macbook which claimed to have a laggy trackpad. They thought it was overheating so I applied some new (and much needed) themal compound and manually maxed out the fans but temps were in the 40s, so no issue there. Initially the trackpad was lagging...

    Question ASrock B450M Pro4 Bootloop

    I have an ASrock B450M Pro4 which I'm looking at for a friend. He says he moved the RAM around and then it got stuck in a bootloop. There is no video output and only the fans and RGB LEDs spin up. After a BIOS reset I managed to get into the BIOS, but as soon as I shut it down and put in the...

    [SOLVED] Ryzen 3 1200 build?

    I was originally gonna get a corsair, but because of having to get a different CPU and having a fixed budget, I need to save money elsewhere. I know it's not ideal but at least it is an 80+ Bronze so has some level of quality.

    [SOLVED] Ryzen 3 1200 build?

    Yes shipping would be an issue. Also he's on a really strict budget so I couldn't stretch that far. Any ideas about the power supply?

    [SOLVED] Ryzen 3 1200 build?

    Just had a look on ebay and there are no used Ryzen 1600s at the moment. Same story for the RAM - no 3000MHz+ 2x4gb. I've found a refurbished rx570 for £65. There are a range of power supplies but they aren't reputable brands like corsair so I'm unsure about buying one for £20. I also often...

    [SOLVED] Ryzen 3 1200 build?

    But when I add in my case, storage, fans and used GPU that comes close to £330. Considering the Ryzen 3 2200g is about £30 more expensive, how much extra performance would it add?
