    Dead motherboard - Keep the PSU or nah?

    TL;DR at the bottom A few days ago, while loading up a game, my PC decided to lose all video signals and the GPU fans started spinning at max speed. No big deal, it has happened before. A restart usually fixes it. Except this time it didn't. There was still no signal. I opened the case and...

    Installed new RAM, PC won't boot up. (3 beeps)

    The different memory brands don't explain why my old memory does not get detected. The AData is AD3U1600W4G11-B The Kingston is HX316C10FB/4 How do I reset the bios to default settings without booting it up? I've used the jumper already, is removing the battery going to do anything different?

    Installed new RAM, PC won't boot up. (3 beeps)

    So yesterday I bought a stick of Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB 1600MHz. I already had 4GB A-Data ram and I wanted to make them 8, so I plugged the new one in. PC started booting up and then it stopped or smth, I'm not even sure (I think the HyperX wasn't fully fitted in). Anyway, I tried only using...

    Is a Corsair CX 600w going to be compatible with a r9 280?

    I've read enough and obviously it's got enough wattage and whatsoever, however i saw that the PSU only has 2 PCI-E connectors and the GPU uses 2 itself, meaning that i've got none left for whatever else i may need those connectors for. Should i buy the power supply? I hardly know anything about...

    R9 280 vs 285 - And are they even worth buying anymore?

    I looked around in a few local sites and i managed to find an insanely cheap 280x. It seems brand new so i think that's what i'll be getting. Thanks for all the responses, appreciate it.

    R9 280 vs 285 - And are they even worth buying anymore?

    I'm looking for a budget replacement for my old 6670 and i've found a 280 and a 285 for approximately the same price. I've done some research but honestly, the results really aren't consistent. Some benchmark videos show that the 285 comes on top, others give it to the 280. I'm playing on a...

    Is an A10-5700 good enough for AAA games?

    So i've currently got an A10-5700 capped at 3.4k GHz and a Radeon HD 6670 GPU, and i'm planning to upgrade to a Sapphire r9 280. Now, since i've got a limited budget i can't upgrade the CPU yet (i'll also have to get a new motherboard for it). Do you think the A10-5700 is good enough to smoothly...

    Possible overheating - Should i be worried?

    Wellp, it seems like there are a lot of other people having temperature meassuring using a similar CPU/motherboard, i guess i shouldn't really worry after all. I guess if my PC really was that hot it would have melted down months ago lol Thanks

    Possible overheating - Should i be worried?

    Mkay so i might be a moron. I don't know yet I saw this post and i noticed this little thing in HWMonitor called "CPUTIN", which is showing the exact same numbers as SpeedFan (way lower than Speccy, however, which is showing 80 degrees) This is what HWMonitor shows while i'm gaming with...
