    Question PC Turning Off Randomly

    If it is not the cpu then it is the motherboard, because the motherboard controls all on/off actions. Aside from ensuring chipset drivers are properly installed and that the latest bios is installed, it could very well be just a bad motherboard.

    [SOLVED] Games not using all they should be

    Your i3 530 has only 2 cores. The games you are running (of which you make no mention of) likely have a single main thread and then 1 or 2 minor threads. Your one thread will utilize most of one core and the OS will stick the other threads on the second core. You have hyper threading so each...

    [SOLVED] Why does my pc screen randomly turn off and fans speed up?

    That is a pretty deep cleave on that one contact dead center, but since you still have a valid pad going all the way to the edge it should not cause a connection issue.

I am unfamiliar with your lab work but if it works by spawning sessions that are assigned a dedicated core then yes, one of AMD's...

    [SOLVED] RGB setups, which motherboard brand does it best? Better 3rd party solutions?

    So last year when I built my dream Mini ITX gaming build I also stumbled onto an asus motherboard that not only had a built in LED controller, but an addressable one at that. I didn't initially plan on it but what the hell, why not use it? So I picked up some LED fan covers, a strip, and RAM...

    Will my old product key work on windows 10

    OEM keys will not be transferable as windows will do a bios check to see if the machine series matches the key. Purchased keys however are still yours and you own it. When you upgraded one pc to windows 10 you were given an all new digital key based on your ownership of a legit windows 7 key...

    Can Ultrabooks edit video smoothly?

    not really, ULV processors are cut down versions of their big brothers. i7U is 2 cores/2 hyperthreads. You can find some ultra laptops with a real i5 for real quad core performance. And while CUDA may make things faster, it also makes your video look worse.
