Also, I should mention that my computer doesnt restart when im just in the BIOS it seems, but it does eventuall die even when i try to boot from an installation USB. Does anyone know what this might be?

Just upgraded my PC and getting some strange behavior: I wiped all drives and basically built a blank pc with my new parts. Installed windows and everything was finr for over 6 hours. Got all the drivers on and downloaded Modern Warfare to test it out. Got solid frames and the temps were good...

Not sure if I should be starting a new thread, but heres what im looking at: I am running into hardware issues these days because this ram is choking and dying running modern programs. My plan was originally to just buy the RAM you suggested and slowly build up. However, my MOBO does not...

I do plan on holding off anyway, but I appreciate the heads up on those anouncements. I'm going to monkey with this a bit but is watercooling something you added because of the bigger budget or is that a big staple in the hobby now? I know its easier to install but is the performance gain worth...

Ok, what exactly do you mean by a platform upgrade? I'm not 100% worried about my budget, would like to keep all told <$1500 but I'll make it work I actually did get a little SSD at one point and I boot from that. Also, I decided this upgrade was needed upon playing the new CS:GO fortnite...

Oh man, let me try to find my parts list again.

Hey all, my computer has been doing this for a couple of years but only now its gotten bad enough for me to try to find a solution. Gonna guess this is a GPU problem. This crash occurs with or without stress, its happened while playing games but it also happened when I was trying to make this...

Haven't built a PC in a few years, and my brother wants a PC of his own. Need second opinions on this build since I haven't been keeping up with it. Problems with this list currently; I haven't put much thought into the GPU since I can't seem to figure out whats going on with them. Prices...

Does anyone know of a reliable multi meter whose voltmeter function can read single digit milliVolts (mV) accurately? Some multi meters I see online have a range setting that says 200mV, which I would assume means it can read mVs up to two hundred on the lowest setting, but I want to be sure I...

I have been experiencing, for a while now, an entire computer crash on games that by no means tax my components. Hearts of Iron III came is an RTS that came out in 2009 and even when it came out, it was hardly more intensive than a normal webpage. However, every time I try to play this game the...
