Actually... it was the harddrive. Just had to uninstall the one with the corrupted windows on it and all issues have disappeared. No stutters, no crashes. It's just odd because I ran some hard drive tests on all my drives recently and had no issues.

Yea when I swapped in the new motherboard I did reinstall windows fresh. And still had issues. Currently my issues have gotten worse, after upgrading to the newest released bios (few days old) and running a memtest again windows has a registry error right after post, and system reboots straight...

Alright so long story short, just upgraded my system recently specs are AMD Ryzen 1600x (stock, no custom clocks) Asrock x470 Fata1ity K4 8gb Patriot 16gb Gskill at 2666 (won't boot at anything higher) EVGA 1080 hybrid PSU Seasonic X650 GOLD System drive ADATA SX6000NP NVME Storage drives HP SSD...

Performance will be pretty much the same. Especially for your needs if all you're doing is gaming and small video editing. the 1700x technically has more cores, but the 2600 is more efficient and the second iteration of the architecture. but if its $50 cheaper than the 1700x its definitely...

Hmmm, interesting. I'd contact the PSU manufacturer see if they can give you some guidance. Because if it is your PSU, you don't want to keep trying to boot it up and fry anything more in your system. My guess is the new PSU came DoA and caused some problems. Also possible that some of the...

to be honest, if you want a keyboard that lasts, get a mechanical... They really aren't that much louder as long as you get the right keyset. the ones in stores are typically all blues (loud) I have browns and honestly, aren't much louder than my old logitech g510. The quality feels better...

Reason I'm not too worried about bottlenecking my CPU http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_ryzen_7_1700_review,17.html as you can see, the 8370 is well withing 5-10% performance of most newer procs at 2k res. now at 1080 the performance gap is higher.

I was worried about cpu bottlenecking for a bit, but currently I'm mainly just looking to upgrade the card, and upgrading the rest of the system next year at some point. the 8350 still performs well enough for me to hold off on a ~$600 upgrade atm

Hey guys, been talking myself out of buying a new graphics card for months, ever since AMD teased Vega for the first time. I've always bought AMD personally, but have no qualms about buying an nVidia card if priced competetively. Currently I'm running at 7950 Boost that I've had for about 4...

NEVERMIND as I spent the last 20 minutes typing this on my phone was about to leave for work and it boots up. but if anyone has a clue as to why this happens please post my brain hurts @.@

Hey guys, had an unfortunate accident with my machine lastnight, spilled water all over it, machine went rampent and stayed but lost all activity. Wouldn't turn off with button so pulled the plug. I probably pulled the plug within 10 seconds of the spilling. Pulled everything apart and let it...
