I recently changed my motherboard and upon going into the Windows Activation Troubleshooter and selected reactivate after a hardware change, I get the error code 0x800705b4. I disabled my third party anti-virus like a solution on the microsoft answers website said to do, but no luck. So how do I...

It's a new Motherboard

If you have a second PC, you should download the Windows 10 media creation tool. Select download ISO (not download to device), then download Rufus, select your USB Fladh Drive that you want to flash the Windows 10 image onto and then select browse and find the ISO you just downloaded using...

So it's more of a display problem than a fan one? You've plugged the HDMI or Displayport cable into the back of the GPU. Double check to make sure your PSU cables are completely connected to the motherboard, you'd be surprised at how many times the problem is just loose cable. If you are using a...

You should try pressing and holding the Delete key when your PC starts up. This will bring you to the BIOS menu, then you can modify the fans speeds from within the BIOS Menu. If you can't access the BIOS menu then you might have to short the CMOS jumper to reset the BIOS settings. Here's a link...

I finally completed my first PC build and ran into a problem. Upon going into the BIOs settings, I found out that the temperature on the Southbridge was climbing pretty drastically. It managed to get up to 67°C before I turned the PC off. The motherboard I'm using is the ASRock X570 Phantom...

I currently have my laptop connected to a desktop monitor. I made sure that the laptop isn't mirroring the display onto the monitor. So only the monitor displays whatever I'm doing on my computer. But the monitor uses my dedicated GPU, and since I have no need to use the integrated graphics, I...

Ok, I'll give it a shot, I was just worried I might damage something (either the fans or the motherboard itself). Only one of the fans I plan on connecting to the splitter is PWM, the other one is a 3-pin fan that came with the PC case.

I'm using a pretty small case for my build (Fractal Design Nano S), and I want to connect more fans to my case to increase airflow. Only problem is that I can only plug 2 fans into the fan splitter that is connected to my Chassis fan header, and I want to connect a few more fans, by using the...

I recommend you actually get the Super version of the Gigabyte RTX 2060. It's a little more expensive, but the performance increase is worth it. And unless you plan on overclocking your PC, there's no need to get RAM that has a higher frequency than what your CPU supports (2933MHz), it'll end up...

Sorry for the extremely late reply. Any benchmarking software pushes your system to the max to get a proper benchmark. Have you tried scanning for viruses? Updating all of your device drivers, defragging your hard drive, running the SFC and DISM commands in Command Prompt (administrator mode)...

So I did some research to see if anybody else has this problem with the 2080Ti GPUs. And it turns out that plenty of people complained to Nvidia about it last year, here's an article from this website about it: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/rtx-2080-ti-gpu-defects-launch,37995.html Not sure...

Ok, sorry, I thought you wanted to overclock your system. MSI Kombustor is safe to use.

I like to use this website that allows me to compare CPUs and GPUs. And According to it the best i9 is more expensive and is a bit better than the 3700X. I myself would go with the 3700X, since I like to think of the Value over Performance aspect, so if you want to spend some mre money for a...

I use a core parking program myself, it has an option to disable it on start up, so all you have to do is either go into task manager and disable it in start up, or go in the program itself and disable it from launching upon starting up your PC, then restart your PC and the program should stop...
