Hello, I'm getting a Xeon E5450 CPU delivered to me later this month, so I'm gonna buy a new GPU to go with it. I previously had a GT 1030 2GB paired with an E7500. Should I stick to the GT 1030, or is it better to get an RX 550 or something similar? I want to spend as little as possible on...

I contacted the shop clerk because, through the store, I wouldn't have had to pay for shipping for RMA. That's part of the deal when I bought from them. Also, I contacted the GPU manufacturer and they claim that because the component is burned, warranty doesn't cover it. Here is what they said...

I bought a Leadtek WinFast GT 1030 last December for some light gaming. My CPU is a Core 2 Duo E7500, I have 4GB of RAM, and my motherboard is an Intel DG41RQ. So starting this month, my HDMI port stopped working randomly. Tested out all the cables and they seemed to be fine. I took the GPU to...

I'm currently running a Core 2 Duo E7500 @2.93GHz, on a DG41RQ motherboard, with 4GB DDR2 RAM, and a GT 610. I'm thinking of upgrading my PC so I can play some of the games from the last 3-4 years. Don't wanna spend too much because I'll not be using this PC anymore next year. Now my question...

Okay. I'll try that. Maybe borrow a PSU from a friend and see if it works. Thanks though!

Okay, sorry if this is the wrong section for the topic. I hope a moderator will move it to the correct section. The problem I am facing, is that my PC fails to power up altogether. No beeps, nothing at all. The power button on the casing lights up for a second and then goes out. I'd normally...

Currently, I have a 2GB DDR2 RAM from Apacer running at 800Mhz on my Intel DG41RQ. Since my MOBO doesn't support DDR3, I can't upgrade to that. I'm thinking of getting another 2 GB of DDR2 RAM 800Mhz. Now I heard somewhere that, to get maximum performance, I need both of the RAMs to have the...

According to the title, yes. Yes, it is safe to play provided you are using proper cooling. As for your pc, it might have been the motherboard failing due to dust or heat. And remember that temperatures above 80 degrees will decrease the life span. I have played demanding games like Assassin's...

I recently saw that an R7 240 2GB was selling for $69 on Amazon.com. Is it worth replacing my Nvidia GT 610 which I brought for $58? I know that the R7 240 is way better than this. But here's my specs anyway : Intel C2D E7500 2.93Ghz 2GB DDR2 Nvidia GT 610 Intel DG41RQ...

Well, that is a 2x1GB kit and I have only 2 ports, so If i got that one it would only give me two choices - Use the 2x1GB and sell my previous 1x2GB or to keep using my 1x2GB and in the other port add the other 1GB. Not really useful.

40$-50$, trying to get as cheap as possible.

I can't decide whether I should upgrade my RAM first or my GPU. Here's my specs: CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 2.93Ghz GPU:Nvidia GT 610 RAM:2GB 800Mhz Apacer Tech. Motherboard:Intel DG41RQ Now, if I upgrade GPU, I'm getting a Radeon R7 240 2GB DDR3 with boost PCI-E. If i uprade RAM, I'm getting...

Ok it happened just a few minutes ago, I powered up my pc, and when the Nvidia GPU copyright and stuff statement showed up, I noticed that my screen was slightly tearing/getting distorted in places. It didn't happen again, until the pc was completely booted up and I was playing Surgeon...
