I’ve never owned a razor laptop, but I’ve encountered a similar problem in the past working on an employee’s HP laptop. The fix that worked for me was a clean wipe, fresh install of windows, bios update, and installing HP’s recommended driver package. Idk if razor has anything like that, but it...

The fact that it doesn’t happen in certain games would indicate (in my unprofessional opinion) that it’s not a hardware problem you’re having, which is a good thing considering current GPU prices. Here are some initial steps that I would consider taking. Firstly, make sure Windows is completely...

Obviously now is a terrible time to buy a card as larsv8 mentioned. With such times comes the fact that any card you purchase right now at that price point could be a very, very bad value proposition come 6 months to a year from now. That being said, I bought a 1050Ti new years ago and it’s been...

Just finished some cable management and realized I made a huge noob mistake. I had the cpu cooling fan blowing backwards facepalm, after correcting this and some light cable management, I was able to play a full match of star wars battlefront 2 (which is what caused my computer to shut off last...

Thanks for the reply. Definitely will look at higher airflow cases, but due to my current setup (I don't like L desks... but it was free lol) there's really no space to place it on top of my desk. I'm going to remove all of the extra bays and re cable manage in the meantime, hopefully that helps.

Hello! I'd like to start by thanking anyone who is able to help me with this, I really appreciate it. So, I recently purchased new PC parts. I previously had an SG13 small form factor setup that worked great for me, but I wanted a case with a little more breathing room. Thus, I chose the...

I'm about to purchase the parts I need for a mini itx build in the SG13, but I need a motherboard that has out of the box compatibility with 9th gen intel cpu's so I can pair it with the i3-9100F. I really need some help because I can't get ahold of any of the manufacturers due to covid-19, but...

I googled the max width of the card for the sg13 and found this from gamers nexus... max width for SG13 - 129mm...

Sounds like a game show Lol. But in all seriousness, I need some help. Pcpartpicker is telling me that the graphics card I chose definitely will not fit, and I’m wondering why. 267mm max and the card is 267mm long? I actually already have an SG13, but I accidentally bought a 3 slot card (I know...

Well actually I omitted it on purpose because I have an NVME ssd as well as a SATA ssd. I figured I could reuse those pretty easily. But thanks!

My apologies. Should be public now. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KpQbwh

I assembled this list of parts on PCPartPicker and I really would like to use the SG 13 for it but PCPartPicker seems to think they won't fit. I've compared the parts and their dimensions to Silverstone's SG 13 description and can't find any reason why they wouldn't fit. I don't want to start...

PcPartPicker is warning me that I may need to update the BIOS on my motherboard before it is compatible with a 9th generation Intel chip. Because of this I have 2 questions. Is this true? Is there a way to update the bios on the motherboard without needing a previous generation chip? CPU...

I'm attempting a bios update on an HP Pavilion x360 using the guide on HP's website here (https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00042629 ) I have reached step 4 part 5 however nothing appears when I plug in the USB and it doesn't give me the option to boot off of it. I'm at the hardware...

Okay this laptop was not mine, it is a friends who's business gave it to him to use for work. It's blue screening and the family owned and operated company gave me full permission to try and fix it. The original problem was that it was constantly blue screening with the error, "page fault in...
