    Question New PC Build won’t stay powered on? Bad CPU?

    Update your BIOS and set it to default settings. Turn all memory overclocks off. Run memtest. If you’re still having RAM issues test the sticks individually. If one has issues, RMA.

    Question Ryzen 7 5700G for 3 monitor , work and VMs, excel , sql , adobe pro

    AMD just announced the 8000 series APUs, and the 8700G looks very promising for what you want to do. Would recommend a build similar to this. I assumed since you're not a gamer you don't care for RGB nonsense, so I went with fully meshed case for more airflow...

    https://www.crystal-display.com From the short research I did, it looks like this company makes custom sunlight readable touchscreens on a per order basis, and also sells a 27 inch 1600 nit display non-touchscreen. I would give them a call or send an email; both can be found top left of the...

    Question I need good airflow case for 70 USD

    I am a big fan of Phanteks cases, I currently have a P400S and I love it. Very sleek design with great airflow and very easy to build in. Would recommend the G300A, you can either get it with no fans in the front and put your own or order it with Phanteks fans. There is space for a 240mm...

    Question Which motherboard is the best out of these 3 for i5 13600k/14600k?

    In order from best to worst (none are bad): 1. Asus 2. Gigabyte 3. MSI My personal opinion? My 8 year old Gigabyte board is still going strong; been through multiple PSUs, in and out of different cases, overclocks, and has been very happy. Had an Asus board that died after 4 years. I'm sure a...

    Question Which 2TB m2 Drive should I buy?

    Okay cool that's what I was confirming, I wanted to make sure you weren't getting a PCIE 3 drive with a PCIE 4 motherboard. Like I said, 670P is good. I currently use a 970 PRO and I'm very happy with it, though its $150 right now and I'm assuming your budget is $100.

    Question I did a benchmark test on my computer and got results I am struggling to understand.

    Get a USB stick. You'll need to format it as FAT32. Once you do that, download the official drivers for this motherboard on Gigabyte's website; the most recent BIOS version is F65b. Put the BIOS files onto the USB drive. Shut down your PC and go into the BIOS (hit F12 or the delete key). Hit...

    Here are my recommendations. All should be compatible with your motherboard. Even the budget option should be adequate for this processor. Up to you if you want liquid cooling or not; would only recommend this if you plan to overclock your CPU. Budget: https://a.co/d/8H76w9g Mid...
