I guess the most logical thing to do now would be to reset windows? This has often solved blue screens for me in the past. Regardless I've had this exact problem with an old build, I am not too sure about the cause but when I troubleshooted my hardware it seemed to have gone away when I...

Thank you! Yesterday I removed the motherboard and to my surprise it was not ATX (but the case seemed to be so it was a false assumption on my part). The card would have fit but the case layout was very closed and there is a very limited amount of cooling fan mounts (there is space only for one...

Oh right, what kind of renovations do you think I'd have to make if I wanted to use it? I assumed it would just fit normally lol

Hi all Recently I've acquired an HP 290 G1 from a friend, it's a regular HP desktop so it's nothing spectacular, however it does have an i5-8500 which I would like to use in a new build. The PC does have its own ATX HP branded motherboard in it with 2 DIMM slots and a PCIE slot. I'll probably...

Ok so this is a stupid question but I just want to doublecheck so you can flame me later. I've been using a 1050ti in one of my systems for years and it seems to be reaching it's end so I've never needed a PCIE cable since it is powered through the board. My power supply is the semi mod Pure...

My other system isn't AM4 but I originally got one of the CPUs from a friends system which he was upgrading a month ago which worked absolutely fine. Im assuming it's still fine (no bent pins etc) unless I somehow managed it while taking it from his place to mine? I'll go over later and check on his

That's correct. I actually initially assumed it was a RAM error so I ordered a few brand new sticks, I've tried 1 stick in every slot and then 2 sticks in every combination. I also tried to out 4 identical sticks in. They are 2667mhz which seem to be compatible with the board so I've kind of...

I got it from Amazon and it was advertised as never opened. My first guess was the motherboard but I've tried the same with an older working a320 board and it's the same issue. I'm guessing the only possibility is that they're both somehow faulty or both the CPUs. Idk

I'll give it a go with another cable and GPU but the beeps are like 3 seconds long each, I'm not sure if that counts as fast?

Hi all I recently bought an unopened Asrock ATX board for basically free which I want to use with my second system. I have a Ryzen 7 1700 which doesn't seem to POST and when I put a speaker in it gives me 5 beeps. All that happens is that my monitor says "No signal detected" so it recognizes...

Hey there, I've just completed my build, and Im planning on setting up a dual monitor rig, but my Graphics card (1050ti) only supports Displayport, HDMI and DVI. Im using pretty dated monitors, so my main one is on DVI and the other one only supports VGA. Is there a way for me to be able to plug...

Hey guys Sorry if this is a stupid question but whats a better buy? Ryzen 5 1600 or 7 1700? On benchmarks it always says that "The 1700 is slightly faster" but Im really confused since the stock clock of the 1600 is higher than the stock clock of 1700 (3.2ghz vs. 3.0ghz), but the 1700 can boost...

Hello. I live in the UK and Im currently trying to pick a good 500w-ish power supply without breaking the bank. Ive narrowed it down basically to the Antec Truepower 550w Gold for £70 or a much cheaper XFX 500w Bronze for £40. Is the Antec worth the extra £30? Does it make a huge difference? Do...
