If I am on an older version of Windows 10- I can run it no problem. But as soon as I update to the latest version, during the middle of the installation process- the installation will just go black and will stay that way until I shut my computer off and turn it back on- no cursor, no nothing-...

Building a machine with all used parts and the only PSU used I had was a 200w which isn't going to fly with the 560ti. Just curious if a 350w will be able to handle a 560Ti in there. Other components are just fans, one HDD, and a Core 2 Duo 6600.

Nah more for a hobby than anything. I was mainly thinking of going i7s but was wondering if an i5 could work for less the money ha ha. I didn't think it would but it never hurts to double check. I currently edit in 4K with an FX 8350 but am currently looking into building a new machine sooner or...

Just curious to know how well a 6th gen i5 would hold up with 4K editing and 32GB RAM w/ a dedicated GPU. I work mainly in After Effects and Sony Vegas- AE can contain many layers. Just would like to know if an i5 can handle it or if its worth the extra money to jump to an i7. Would be either...

I'm looking to sell my Intel i7 2600 but I want to make sure that my proc isn't going to be defective. Before I pulled the proc from the computer, I would get idling temps anywhere between 60-80 Celsius. The proc was liquid cooled. My friend took my computer and did a stock CPU cooler on it and...

MERGED QUESTION Question from Crypto6 : "Cannot Successfully Re-install Windows- Error Codes Recieved" Firstly, I did make a post before about this but nobody replied back and I have since, also had an update on what I have tried to do to fix this situation, so if anyone has ANY ideas on what...

I am trying to reinstall a Windows 7 OS onto a laptop that won't take it. It originally had 7 on it and was running just fine. Reinstalled the OS because of corruption problems- but I am running into a lot of issues when trying to reinstall 7. My first issue was that during the setup process...
