    Question System Crashes and Shuts Down

    Yeah. The CPU is the only thing that shoots up to 100% when the system crashes. I feel like that's pretty normal for when you first start up a program like Borderlands. Nothing stands out in the event viewer that points to what the error was that caused the crash. I just get a couple...

    Question System Crashes and Shuts Down

    The 3080 was a gift from one of his friends. He had a 1070 before that. I don't think my friend wants to buy a whole new core for his build. The storage is a 500GB SSD and 500GB HDD. They both look to be in good shape. I'm not really sure which EVGA PSU it is exactly. I know that he had gotten...

    Question System Crashes and Shuts Down

    Hello, I've been looking into a friend's PC that has been having some issues with crashing when it's trying to load up a newer generation game. Programs like Tiny Tina's Wonderland will crash before they ever load and the system will usually revert back to the desktop. Sometimes the whole...

    Question Refurbished build using Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition only getting 800 mb out of CPU

    No I did not. Also I realized I put in the wrong CPU. This is actually a Phenom II X4 960T. idk why I thought it was a 965, which is a 125W CPU. My MOBO does not support a 125W CPU.

    Question Refurbished build using Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition only getting 800 mb out of CPU

    You make a good point about the MOBO being a potential issue. The OS I bought from Best Buy some number of years ago. It's a legitimate copy of Windows 10. I will try installing the Drivers via the Device Manager. About to go to bed but I will report back after I have a chance to give it a go.

    Question Refurbished build using Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition only getting 800 mb out of CPU

    Hello, I rebuilt a computer for work purposes and bought a used Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition CPU. I'm getting 804 MB out of the CPU instead of the 3.0 GB that it is supposed to be giving me. Initially I thought that there was something wrong with the CPU and bought a second one (they were...

    Question Slow Upload Speed but Speedtest.net says it's good

    Thanks. Next time I call them I will point out that the HUB for their service is in Chicago and not Eau Claire when they insist that I run speedtest.net to check my speeds.

    Question Slow Upload Speed but Speedtest.net says it's good

    Hello, I've been having some issues with my upload speed. I stream regularly to the twitch and have sometimes had issues with my bitrate being less than optimal. There are some days where it's fine and I'm hitting 20 mb/s upload, which is what I should be getting. Other days I'm only getting...

    Streaming games has dropped frames even though smooth while playing

    I think you're right. It probably has something to do with my FPS not being synced up with the stream, which runs at 60FPS. I'll mess around with some of the game and stream settings and see if I can get everything on the same page. Most likely is not my connection, as I have a 20 meg upload...

    Streaming games has dropped frames even though smooth while playing

    Hello, I've recently built a new gaming rig (about 2 months ago), and have been having problems with dropped frames while playing newer games. The games themselves run smoothly while I'm playing them, but my viewers are getting a lot of dropped frames when watching my stream. I do regular...
