Hey guys, I'm currently having an issue with my PC's bootup that has progressively worsened. The boot failures first occurred a few months ago but, due to work and school, I didn't attempt to repair until yesterday. With everything connected, the components would momentarily come on - fans...

Luckily I'm in rural Australia so a python's recently moved in and the mice have been dropping like flies but too little too late

Well I'm skint as can be at the moment so the home fix is the best fix. I'll give it a stab Jan. Thank you all guys, I'll let you know how it goes.

How would you recommend washing it, and to what degree would I disable? I've currently got it down to the PCB; the heatsink has been deattached.

Hmm well on my latest advance on the PCB I rather foolishly, and brutishly, rubbed at a bit of oxidised componentry. In the act of doing so, a small metal component of some description flew off. Oh well, might be time to rustle up some mula. Thanks anyway

When I turned on my PC last before any issue was evident, my gpu (R9 280x) failed to display a signal and fans went to 100%. Upon opening my case, I realised my PC had become Stuart Little's new toilet. Furthermore, I discovered feces and urine upon the PCB of my gpu. I have since wiped and...

Alright sweet, that saved me a trip to the computer store this arvo. Thank you very much.

I recently installed Open Hardware Monitor to check some temps and found some worrying stats. My motherboard temps were reading in excess of 100 degrees (celcius). Since then I have tried another program (HWinfo) and received the same results. My motherboard is an Asus H81-m plus and had very...

Hi guys, Recently I received my R9 280x after an RMA due to artifacting. Since then I have noticed higher temps and fan speeds (pre-rma never went above 60 and 20% fan speed), hitting 75+ and 50% fan speed under load. However, playing Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor I have reached temps of 88 and...

Hi there, Recently I had to RMA my gpu and have since been using the integrated graphics on my 95 4670. I have read reviews saying that the HD 4600 can handle itself well in low end games. However, I am unable to play anything at more than 5 fps. I have tested this on games such a Gmod...

Hi there, A few months ago I built my first pc and chose to use the r9 280x for my graphics card. In the time from then til' now I have experienced a number of increasingly bad issues. When alt-tabbing out of games I get chequered flickering, in games (such as Dayz) textures distort and flash...
