Hey Paul, I managed to get mine fixed, but I'm not sure if it'll help, I removed the 2 new sticks of ram that I added, they were from a different manufacturer, so I'm not surprised that was the problem. I tested both sets of ram individually and they both worked, but when I used both together...

Thanks for your replies. I'm not sure what my OS is, I bought the key from g2a. And as for moving programs, I don't mind if I lose them, so long as I don't lose my games. So I can move just copy all the folders on my games partition, to a folder on my mass storage, then copy them back when I...

Thanks guys for sharing all your stories, I'll be honest I was expecting a lot of "nope, I use my computer for gaming, every single day" so I'm glad that I'm not the only one

Hey guys, quick question. I have spent the last 3 years perfecting my gaming pc (somewhat) every Christmas present, birthday present and any saved money has been pc parts. I have realistically gotten my pc to where I want it, however, I don't use it any more. I was living with my partner and...

So I currently have an FX 6300 and an msi 970a sli krait edition motherboard, however I was just given an fx 8350 and an Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0 and I was just curious if I'd need to reinstall windows. I know if it's a different chipset you need to reinstall but I was hoping since they are...
