You rule! Okay, just to be sure before I start this quest, order of operations is: Move DIMMs to correct slot. Update BIOS. Download and install the 3 drivers you got there.

Thanks for the reply! BIOS Version is 3003. I'm unsure of how to check if that's the latest. The DIMMs are actually currently installed in the 1st and 3rd slots over from the CPU. This third question I'm unsure of how to answer. Is there a way to verify if the drivers I have currently...

Hi! My newly built PC keeps randomly restarting without warning. It started doing this about a month ago. There's usually at least a week between occurrences. This week though it happened on Friday and then again today. No warning, it just restarts and acts as if nothing happened. I'd really...

Awesome! Thanks so much. I'll give this a try.

Ok, so the SSD is working right now. I did just test the SATA port that the old HDD was connected to with my disc drive, and it seems to be working--I was able to play a DVD. Should I still test that SATA port with my SSD? Or is the working disc drive proof enough? I ran Malwarebytes and...

Hi! I hope I'm posting this to the right place. Sorry if not. Anyways, so I was gaming a couple days ago and my PC crashed to blue screen. When it booted back up, my HDD was not showing up. Seeing as how the HDD's about six years old now, I wasn't too terribly surprised and ordered a new 1TB...

Tis' better to have more VRAM or higher mem bus? that is the question. I have currently an R9 270 with 2G and 256bitmem, but the artifacts, though slighlty infrequent, are frequent enough to make gameplay impossible. It could be a defective card and simply be a matter of replacing, but I could...

Hi Everybody! I just installed new 16g PNY ram sticks into my asus p8h61-m le/csm r2.0 mobo and i can't for the life of me figure out how to make it run faster than 1333mhz. I tried simply selecting the XMP option in my bios but when I clicked the save changes and reset button my comp screen...
