The news you know you're gonna hear but hope to not hear I guess. What you've said I'll pass onto them regardless, as it'll be a good lesson for later on if they ever need to tackle it again, and for myself. Thank you for concise and quick answer!
Hello all
This post is for a friend's computer. They had a friend over to do a BIOS update on their PC and during the update, using Gigabyte Q-Flash. The PC shut down/crashed to a degree. We all agree that the motherboard might be bricked. So far they've tried removing CMOS battery for 7...
Hey all, got a real USB/internal motherboard port head scratch here. While back I bought a Gigabyte H270 Gaming 3 and a Phanteks Enthoo 719 (Luxe 2). When they arrived the case had two USB 3.1 Gen 1 headers (20-1 pin) and the board luckily had two headers to supply them. About to upgrade to...

Hi all,
Currently in my household (single level only) we have a Netgear C6300BD modem (provided by our ISP, Telstra) and it's positioned around the center of the house. While the targeted device, my computer, is at the other end of the house. When running an internet speed test, download speeds...

I'm looking to trade out some crappy $9 fans that I've been using for a while with some RGB ones. Though I'm unsure of what brand to go with. I've been looking at the Deepcool RF/CF fans, CoolerMaster's MasterFan Pro Air Pressure RGB or Corsairs HD 120 fans. Don't know much about fans...

About 2 and a half years ago my old Sapphire HD 7850 chip-set fried itself and died on me. Just stumbled upon it again today and am wondering if there's anything I can do to fix it, do something else with it or bin it. Any ideas are helpful
