    What should I upgrade in my current build?

    I built my PC in 2013 and figure its time to upgrade a few parts as I'd like to branch out from my current video games (mainly WoW) and try some new things (No Man's Sky, FFXV, etc) that are more graphically intense. Here is a link to my current build: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/7bv9tg...

    Video card failed and has recovered AND Windows has prevented access to GPU errors

    Good afternoon! So I have been having some issues with my computer when running World of Warcraft (settings are on average, so it should not be having an issue with that). The first issue is the "graphics card has stopped responding and has recovered" and this would occur a few minutes after...

    Laptop fan issue (not working)

    Thanks for the response, do you have a better program to recommend that I can use to monitor my core temps? I took a peek at the site you mentioned but couldn't find my model number (they listed only 4 digits series). However, I googled harder and came upon this, which should work as well...

    Hey, hoping I can get some general advice. For the past few months (I know, I am slow at fixing things -- was worried about the price) I believe my laptop fan has not been working. I downloaded and installed Speedfan, which does not detect any fan on my laptop. All four of my cores run at 60 C...

    Looking for a build suggestion for a computer for my GF

    I know her new desk is red, so hopefully something to go with that. Red/Black or something. They can be built less than her old laptop on the gaming side as she does not game anymore (so no need for a high end video card or processor), she just wants it to run well doing everyday tasks. We...

    Touchpad issues with Acer laptop ever since windows 8.1

    So I got the recent update to windows 8.1, and my touchpad reverted itself to the stupid tap-to-click option. However, the icon is no longer available on the task bar, and I cannot find the touchpad anywhere in order to turn it off. Has anyone found a solution to this issue? I don't know the...

    Screen black for a few seconds, than slower framerate

    Thanks, it stopped acting up a few days after I made this original post. However, my Windows software fails at checking for updates cause I went to the site you recommended and it found updates! Thanks, updating now and that should solve any future issues.

    Screen black for a few seconds, than slower framerate

I am playing World of Warcraft on ultra high settings at 100+ frames, than suddenly my screen turns black for 1-2 seconds, than back on. When it comes back on, my...
