Sure do - I did end up turning off the PSU and turning it back on. Booted the machine back up and shut down, it shut down immediately. Any idea what could have caused that?

Over the past two days, suddenly, my PC no longer shuts down entirely when I do the shutdown. Fans remain running and LEDs are still going even though the display turns off. Any suggestions? Nothing has changed to my knowledge with the computer over the past couple days. I've tried updating...

The other day I attempted to upgrade my Elitebook 9480m to 16gb of RAM. I got a stick of PNY 8gb DDR3 1600mhz PC3-12800 CL11 1.5v SODIMM to install but the computer wont boot with this memory installed. Even when it is installed on its own I cannot get it to boot up. When I remove it, the...

This is the first time I've ever seen it. I played Tomb Raider for about 2 hours and it finally occurred.

I notice there are a lot of products on the market that allow for me to attach dual-dvid monitors to an adapter and use the display port on my video card. The issue is I cannot decide on a...

Occasionally I get this error on my Windows 10 system. I recently reformatted the PC hoping this would resolve it but had the error happen once today. I've only noticed this while gaming and usually only notice it while using my HyperX Cloud headset while gaming, at least from my memory. What...

I have some type of small board on the back side of my computer case that has places to plug in my fans. I'm replacing my PSU and need to unplug this power cable from that small board but for the life of me I cannot get it to come out. Any suggestions? Here is a photo of what I'm referring...

I've been having my system power down during gaming sessions over the past week. I did stress testing on the CPU, looks fine. GPU temps don't exceed 65c and CPU is usually around 35-40c. I'm come to think that the issue is the PSU and am looking into replacing it but need some insight on what...

Yesterday I installed a new CPU - FX8350 and I also installed a new H100i GTX. I used the pre-applied thermal paste. When the machine was running, according to CPUID on idle it was at around 15-25c. I played some Farcry 4 and it was around 30-40c. Today I played Farcry 4 for ... 20 minutes and...
