    Disk disk almost always at 100%, laptop extremely slow and crashes

    Pretty much the above. Some days it's fine, others (like now) its very slow (it's a brand new ultrabook) with the disk stuck at 100% with nothing actually using it, and eventually freezes up and takes forever to boot, rinse and repeat Dead harddrive?

    Need more USB Headers on motherboard

    Current my motherboard has 3 USB Headers, all being used. I would like another one to install the Corsair Node Pro lighting kit. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0031ESKJA I guess I essentially need one of these but it's not made anymore and I can't find anything like it?

    Looking for a budget 1440p screen. What's the difference between these two acers for the same price? Besides one is LCD and one is LED? http://www.staples.ca/en/Acer-H257Hu-Smidpx-25-LCD-Monitor/product_1675254_2-CA_1_20001...

    Dead 770? No video output, fans at 100%

    PSU blew up firing my mobo, after RMA'ing them both my PC works fine with onboard video and my new 1070. But with my old 770 installed there's no video output and the fans just blast at 100%, did my PSU fry my video card as well..? Not too upset since I just got a 1070 but would've been nice...

    Any part that could cause no power besides PSU/Mobo?

    I know, by no power I mean my PC doesn't turn on, just as if it wasn't plugged in.

    Any part that could cause no power besides PSU/Mobo?

    PSU blew and was replaced. Still no power what so ever, tried everything (breadboarding, testing each stick of RAM, etc) nadda. I'm about to RMA my motherboard, there shouldnt be anything else that would cause no power what so ever correct?

    Is my motherboard done for?

    Heard strange "electricity-like-noise" from my PSU, followed by no power to my PC and no power at all when I try to turn it on. Got PSU tested and was told it was dead - RMA'd and got a brand new one. Still no power at all - got it tested and was told it was good. Tried booting with only...

    PSU or GPU dying?

    Me too, I mean there's no way a bad GPU could cause my cpu fan and motherboard LEDs to not come on right ?

    PSU or GPU dying?

    My PC has randomly been resetting itself, sometimes losing video signal, sometimes one followed by the other. Last time it happened when I boot back up my caseLEDs / case fans were spinning, but mobo LEDs, GPU fans and CPU fan were dead still. I unplugged some things from the motherboard and...

    Motherboard or PSU dying?

    Thanks for your input I'll probably try that! Also have a 1TB HDD and 2 SSDs if that makes a difference to anything. It's the Corsair TX850M model. Does the fact unplugging the 24pin connector from the motherboard temporarily fixing it and my GPU fan going out of whack / audio buzzing make it...

    Motherboard or PSU dying?

    Lately my PC has been randomly shutting off and not powering back on until I unplug the 24pin connector from the mobo for about 30 seconds and plug it in again, and now the screen will randomly go black, all fans go to 100% and the audio buzzes loudly. I'm leaning towards the motherboard, I've...
