So I've had an Asus RT-66U router for a couple of years now, and all and all, its been great. A week or so ago, the night before I had to leave for a trip, I noticed my internet was out. I did the usual power cycle on the router and modem, nothing changed. Plugged my desktop directly into the...

I just want to thank you guys for taking your time to give me some suggestions! In the end, what I was able to figure out by doing a clean boot, is that Precision X was the problem program. It still ran when I did the clean boot and I noticed I still had the issue. Turning that off fixed the...

I ran Heaven Benchmark for like 15 mins. No problems there.

And yes, I've tried VLC player and the same thing happened.

I have noticed that my main daily game, Smite, has been crashing more than usual. I thought it was the game, so I did a fresh install but that didn't help. Arkham Knight has crashed a bit, but I figured that was due to the game itself. Haven't run a benchmark program since this problem has started.

If its any help, I ran the computer in safe mode with networking and was able to have a video play through its entire run time, about an hour, without freezing. That means its probably a software conflict, right?

So I've ran into and issue with video playback on my PC. So, I've had this issue for like a week or so, where whenever I try to watch a video on my computer, video playback freezes but audio continues to play. If the video is full screen and the freeze happens, when I change out of full screen...

How much of a difference would i see if i upgraded to a 970? Currently I'm playing DA:I on custom settings somewhere between high and medium i believe and max out around 60 fps but I've dipped to something like 35 fps depending on the area. Don't know for sure since I'm at work. I'm looking to...

Hello all, I'm looking for workstation build for C4D with an absolute max budget of $2400. I've built gaming computers before, but i know rendering is different because of the reliance on the CPU. I've seen lots of builds with dual CPU options, so i just don't know the right way to go within my...

It really comes down to what you need, program wise. If you have to use a Mac specific program for your major, then it really isn't a choice. Beyond that, for me at least, PCs are the way to go. The price differences between the two are outrageous sometimes and build quality isn't that huge of...

Depending on what programs you use for video editing, it would be a wise choice to get a Nvidia card to take advantage of the CUDA core GPU boost. Adobe currently makes use of this and I've seen it help a lot with render times, but it really comes down to the content and programs you work with...

Even tho you said you were aware of the PSU needing an upgrade, that would be my first suggestion. I don't know about you, but putting in a new power supply is one of the things i dislike most about upgrading. I would suggest something that's completely modular, that way you could put in the...

Haha yeah i totally wasn't even paying attention to the actual card. That one doesn't even have any CUDA cores. Generally speaking though for video editing, Nvidia seems to be the way to go when it comes to Premiere and After Effects because of the GPU acceleration. My comment about the SSD...
