    Question Why would case fans kick on high when playing a game lately when they never did before?

    I'll try to address the parts of your reply in the order you asked them. Thanks for the info on the cores by the way. The difference between core 1 and the rest is around 2-7 degrees. I can certainly reapply some thermal paste as that would be an easy thing to try. In Task Manager at the...

    Question Why would case fans kick on high when playing a game lately when they never did before?

    Hey all, hoping for a bit of help here as this is severely annoying me. I've been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online since they came out for the PC. Up until about a week ago, my PC was running everything just fine at the game's recommended settings (most everything at Ultra)...

    trigo.exe/audiodg.exe causing high cpu usage and playing audio ads in background

    I must have opened something online or downloaded something I shouldn't have because these two issues are brand new and they're pissing me off! I could use some help. The stupid audio ads are for Ragu and pants and other stupid crap. They just start every now and then and I can only stop them by...

    Did I buy a dud?

    So I recently (couple days ago) bought a new motherboard (MSI Z97 Gaming 5) and processor (i5 4690k) because I thought my old motherboard (ASRock Z77 Pro3) blew a capacitor or something.

    Desktop PC just "crashed" while playing a game...no idea why!

    Turns out it was my power supply. Wasn't friendly with my OC'ing it seems, or at least that's what I'm guessing. Either way, I ended up getting a new motherboard and processor...just because. Thanks for the help!

    Desktop PC just "crashed" while playing a game...no idea why!

    Ok, so I tried another video card and got the same response...well, lack thereof actually. It was a PCI 2.1 card too so I was able to check if it was both the video card or the PCI-E card. Guessing it's the mobo seeing as all the fans work except for the top one. Not sure what else would cause...

    Sucks that the closest PC parts place is either an hour away or Newegg as I don't consider Best Buy to be a parts place.

    Desktop PC just "crashed" while playing a game...no idea why!

    So I'm playing WoW on a system that is way more than capable of handling that game at its best resolutions and my PC just crashed to black screen. The main odd thing is all of the fans keep spinning and the red power light on the case stays on indefinitely. The front fan, back fan,GPU fans, and...
