No one has any info on why this would be happening?

CPU temp is normal around 26C Ram is dual channel in slots 2 & 4 Malware Scanned with MWB & ADW (Though this is a fresh build and hasn't had time to get a virus) ssd is 1tb with barely anything on it (few windows updates) steam (1 game "rolling line"), AOL Desktop Gold.. and that should be it...

Hi All, I apologize in advance if this post is in the wrong category. I recently built my 87 yr old grandfather a PC for his birthday and he's absolutely in love with it! I know he only needed a $2-$300 system but he told me to build him something special... So I did without going too crazy...

Thanks for your replies everyone. I've posted a link below to his exact PC Specifications. HP P6-2378 - https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03548976 CPU: AMD A8-5600K @ 3.6 ghz (1 socket, 2 core, 4 processors) Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7560D - 512mb (integrated graphics) HDD - Hitachi...

Hi All, I'm looking to put together a system for my grandfather who recently turned 88 years old. His old system hasn't been updated in the last 5 years and from what I see, he's definitely overdue for something new. The only tasks he really performs on his PC are browsing the internet...

Was there a reason in particular you chose the B450M/AC over the Pro-VDH Max? Wireless capability? dual card? I didn't see too noticeable of a difference between the 2 but the B450M/AC did offer wireless capability and an option for dual cards to be run in crossfire. I did notice that your...

Looks like I will be doing this build in 2 phases. The budget has increased a little bit. Phase 1: Budget $400 - $450 Getting the Motherboard (Micro ATX), Ram, CPU & Power Supply situated. (Not opposed to going with a bigger motherboard but a bigger case will need to be purchased - don't need...

Id say maybe $150-$200 budget for the card. The Power Supply maybe $80-$100? I should be able to get by with a 650 watt power supply yes?

Sorry for the lack of response all. Have had minimal access to the internet the past few days. I really appreciate everyone’s guidance and hope everyone is staying safe during the current pandemic. I did notice the pcpartpicker was in £ but no biggie I can convert to USD when I go to purchase...

This looks like a great setup! Thanks for taking the time to build this for me :) Will I need a new cpu cooler or can I just reuse the one from his initial setup?

Hi Everyone, I'm looking to dig my father out of the stone age and build him his first real computer. He's 70 years old, loves listening to loud rock music, and loves playing his favorite game Starcraft 2.. Currently, his computer is able to run SC2 but its very sluggish when bigger battles...

I think the most I've ever seen my workload was around 14.2-ish GB but its rare it gets up that high.. On high work loads for me I usually get around 11-12gb used without trying to run a game on top of that. I've been using my setup for a good bit of time now and don't really run into many...

Hi Barty, I've heard many people tell me you never really need RAM over 3200mhz as there isn't much of a noticeable difference. I'm thinking at this point in my PC usage, a bump up to 32gb would be more than sufficient. I just wasnt sure if the boost in mhz would assist in video editing or...

Hi All, I'm looking to upgrade my current ram from 16gb to 32gb or 64gb (if not too pricey) - Budget around $200 for Ram. Z170 Motherboard Specs: https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty Z170 Professional Gaming i7/?cat=Specifications#BIOS Primary uses for my PC are web design (WordPress)...

I have the ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Pro Gaming i7 mobo that comes with 3 ultra m.2 slots.. https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty Z170 Professional Gaming i7/?cat=Specifications#BIOS Stupid question but will the Samsung 970 Evo in the link below work with my Mobo? I've been looking at M.2 for...
