    Dying Power Supply?

    So, when I disable my overclock on my CPU, the shutdown seems to disappear, but I still have the coil whine. Should I still get a new PSU (I would really prefer not to replace the PSU)?

    Dying Power Supply?

    My pc randomly shuts down while I'm gaming as well as when I'm web browsing. I get no BSOD; it just looks like the power cut off or something and the pc restarts on its own, prompting me to press f1 to restart. I have no idea what's causing this, especially since I'm pretty sure my overclock is...

    Upgrading from 8GB to 16GB

    As demonstrated by Assassin's Creed Origins, it seems like 8GB just doesn't cut it anymore. I have an MSI Z97 G45 Gaming motherboard (supports dual channel), an i7 4770k and 2×4GB G.Skill Ripjaws X 1866 RAM. I can just buy another set of identical 2×4GB model and pop it onto my motherboard...

    PC Underperforming on GTA 5

    I just read online that other people with GTX 770 2GB are running GTA 5 on high graphics, but it exceeds the memory limit on my card when I put textures on high. I'm not sure what the issue is here. Will a simple RAM upgrade help at all?

    PC Underperforming on GTA 5

    I feel like my current setup (i7 4770k, GTX 770 2GB, 8GB RAM) is underperforming on GTA 5. From task manager, it looks like my RAM is running out, but I have no other programs running in the background, and GTA is only using 4 of my 8GB of RAM. Please help. http://imgur.com/a/KpASI
