The friend did ask for 450, but I am advising he takes it. Think his friend didn't realize that parts don't depreciate as fast as he thinks they do lol. It's fine though, I'd rather my boy didn't rip him off.

Yeah he's got all that covered. He bought a PSU recently for his old desktop, has a hard drive and a copy of Windows. I think he updated his graphics card recently as well.

A friend is trying to buy the following from a friend for between 300 and 400. Parts are about 3 years old and in good working order. He already has a case that will fit all this, as well as the proper PSU and an HDD. Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.5GHz ASUS P8Z77-V DELUXE LGA 1155...

After I told you I hadn't changed the BIOS in recent member, I recalled tinkering with the settings back when I built the PC in 2012. I don't remember what I changed, so I just used the reset option that was available to me.

Have not been able to re-create the issue yet, but I did reset my BIOS to optimized defaults, as well as resetting anything that I may have tinkered with in Afterburner years ago.

I'm also going to test to see how hot it runs when I launch some of the games that have caused a crash. Temps are currently running between 44 and 50 degrees across my 4 cores, though I'm not doing anything different from my usual day-to-day. Thanks for that write-up/

The computer did not crash at any point, only experienced some lag, and the temps spiked from an average of 38-40C to about 48-55C during the test, and settled down to 42-45C after the test ran.

I don't ever recall overclocking either one at any point. Is there anyway to just reset my devices to normal settings just in case I have?

So lately, some games I have been playing have been causing my PC to go into a complete shutdown and reboot, and I'm trying to figure out what may be going wrong. I currently have a GIGABYTE brand motherboard and 2 8GB 1600 DDR3 ram sticks. They are inserted into the two right-most ports on the...
