    [SOLVED] MSI MB and Graphics Card Compatibility Question

    It was. I'm actually on my 3rd fresh install of Windows with this build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HCgkmg). It seems to have happened from the beginning, and I have a brand new CPU, MB, RAM, GPU, and PSU. So I'm at a loss as to why it would freeze at the logon screen. But, the frustrating...

    [SOLVED] MSI MB and Graphics Card Compatibility Question

    Googling graphics card compatibility, I only get posts or articles related to PCI-E slots and card size within cases. I recently upgraded my system to an i7-9700K with an MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC motherboard. Going to the motherboard support website, it says that the VGA supported cards are...

    Question How do I know if my PSU is under-requirements?

    Thanks for the reply! I ended up reinstalling Windows (formatting, etc.) 6 times in total. I gave up and returned everything to MicroCenter and switched to Intel. So far so good, except that every morning my computer powers on, stops at the logon screen and restarts itself. So odd because it...

    Cryorig H7 Reviews/Thoughts

    So I just bought the Cryorig H7 to go along with my AMD FX-8350 setup. I have to say that I love it so far. It runs at a cool 450RPMs and keeps my CPU below 45C. It is also incredibly quiet - to the point where I hit the power button thinking my computer was off. In any case, I thought I was...

    Issues With Installing Windows 10 with 2 Storage Drives

    I'll start by describing the problem I had in hopes that someone has a solution: I built a system - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2zztRG I installed Windows 10 x64 while both my SSD and hybrid drive were installed and hooked up. Once I got all of the drivers installed, I went into the drive...

    Looking for Opinions/Experiences Related to this Build

    I see you added a CPU cooler to this, but that the Intel i7 also comes with a CPU cooler. Does this mean the stock one is not adequate enough, therefore I should invest in a better one?

    Looking for Opinions/Experiences Related to this Build

    I'm putting together a build that I want to use mainly to play CS:GO and replace my current "gaming" laptop. However, I plan to mostly use this computer for standard work and a little bit of GoPro video editing/creation. I do also want to have a system with components that will last me more than...
