    Question "Reboot and select proper boot device" error even though BIOS/UEFI recognizes the drive and Windows

    Hi. I'm despairing a bit because my computer won't boot at all. It worked perfectly this morning, and now not at all. I had exactly one drive plugged in, which is an M.2 Samsung Evo 2TB SSD. That has Windows 11 loaded onto it. My BIOS recognizes the drive and Windows Boot Manager as boot...

    Recording problems with a high end system - CPU Bottleneck?

    Hi all, I've been trying to start a YouTube let's play of Fallout New Vegas, with mods. However, I've tripped on a hurdle. I have a fairly high end system: Intel Core i7 4770k @ 4.0GHz Asus Geforce GTX 780 Ti w/ DirectCU II OC EVGA GTX 650 ACX Superclocked (dedicated PhysX) Gigabyte...

    Hi all, I've been working on a build for a friend that can play Fallout 4, at above 40 frames per second and 1080p, with medium to high settings. It needs to be as cheap as possible. I've come to a fork in the road, whether to go for a G3258 and a 750 Ti or to crossfire an R7 260X with one of...

    First build for friend - Fallout 4

    Hi all, my friend is looking to build his first gaming PC, and wants a budget of "as low as possible." He wants to play Fallout 4, ideally at 1080p. He wants the framerate to be above 30 fps - ideally 60, but not necessarily. He doesn't mind what settings, though Medium upwards is ideal. I was...
