    [SOLVED] TridentZ RGB not working on one of my sticks

    It does not run any rgb on that one stick at boot. I ran signalrgb and it does not affect the stick at all. I was able to control the other sticks though. I don't think this is looking good. Yeah I was only running the memory tester to make sure that the stick was working properly and not dead...

    [SOLVED] New PC, New SSD, but I want to transfer OS, data, and programs from old SSD to new one

    Question Acer XB270HU powering off, half greenish screen and adjusting brightness all on its own. What are my "out of warranty" options?

    Backstory: I bought an Acer XB270HU Monitor off of r/hardwareswap in February 2017. I used the warranty at the time to replace the screen because of some dead pixels and since then it has been working as it should. Problem: The monitor seems to be breaking down on me though. As of about 3 weeks...
