I recently bought a Thermaltake Smart m650w power supply. Today, after connecting it, I was on my PC and, suddenly, it turned off. It's the first time this has happened to me. I bought the power supply to be able to use my Nvidia GTX 750 Ti, instead of the 9800 GT I was using, because my older...

Well, that was the answer I was hoping for. Thank you so much!

Hi, guys! I've recently changed my laptop's OS from Windows 7 to XP and a problem appeared. Everytime I start it, with the charger unplugged, the brightness is really low and it won't go up when plugging it. The only way to "fix" this is starting the laptop with the charger plugged in. I've...

I get what you are saying. It contributes to the performance, but in an indirect way. That's it. I'm buying a couple of cooler fans and a new cooler for the CPU as soon as possible. Thanks to you all!

Yes, I replaced the thermal paste about a month ago, because I changed my MOBO. So, 80°C would be the maximum it can take, but 62-65°C would be the "safer" maximum. Would you say buying a couple of cooler fans would make a important difference? I can't afford water cooling, but maybe normal...

Hi, guys! I have an AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor and I wanted to know what would be the "normal" temperature it should have when Idle. Mine doesn't go lower than 44°C and I've been told is a little to high. I've also been having some issues since the time I installed a new GPU (I went from an...

Hi, guys! I, recently, bought a GTX 750ti GPU and I didn't notice that my monitor doesn't have and HDMI or DVI conector. Now, the question is, is there some sort of cable (or adapter) capable of making the connection between my GPU's HDMI port and my monitor's VGA port? I know you can connect...

Hi, guys! I've changed my windows 7 from 32-bit to 64-bit hopping I was going to be able to use my 6Gb of RAM memory. Thing is, the computer recognizes the 6Gb but it says only 1,98Gb is usable. I was wondering if any of you could shed some light on the matter.

Thanks a lot, guys! I'm, definitely, buying the video card, now! You've been really helpful.

Hi, guys. Lately, I've been thinking about buying a new graphic card for my PC and I have a few questions that I hope you can answer. My MOBO has a PCI-e 2.0 port and I'm planning on buying a PCI-e 3.0 card (Nvidia Geforce GTX 750ti 2Gb DDR5). The question is: Is PCI-e 3.0 backward compatible...

About the Motherboard, I've been having to reconfigurate the hour and date 7 or 8 times already (not really weird, since I haven't changed the battery in 3 years). The GPU is not overclocked and it's temperature is 55 to 60º C when it's idle. By the way, the drivers are up to date.

So, I've been having this problem for about 2 weeks. The thing is, my computer freezes at any time, even when browsing the internet, but if I'm on a Skype call I can keep on talking to others (the computer won't respond though). This are the different thigs I've tried and didn't work: -...
