A week ago I spilled soda on my desk and a couple drops ended up on my PC. 5 minutes later it shut down. I turned it back on and it continued to work as usual for the next week until last night when the display went off. I'm thinking my GPU has gone but all the lights are still on. I've opened...

UPDATE: Just got a BSOD too with error 0x000225. Guess I’m screwed but just how screwed am I?

Out of nowhere my PC suddenly became very slow to the point of it being impossible to use, and it won’t even shut down properly. Everything is healthy and up to date hardware/software wise - this build isn’t even a year old. Checks show no resource hogging or viruses present. Sometimes its that...

Appreciated, hopefully for Borderlands and the other games it is up to the task as that is what I'll be playing mainly.

Thanks, one last thing. For the time being what will gaming look like while I stick with the 7650K/970 combo until I upgrade. I'm mainly looking to play GMod/Borderlands 2/PUBG/Division/Black Ops 3

So I'm guessing that I'll have to write off the RAM as well? While bumping up the cost to replace the RAM is a slight inconvenience, I don't mind if absolutely necessary. Are there no DDR3 based alternatives on a £200-250 budget? This final build should last me til around mid-late 2019, where...

And another thing I'd like to add, is that I most likely will be running a mixture of medium/high settings in order to keep FPS consistent. Thanks.

Greetings, I have a 970 in my build which I'm aware is being bottlenecked due to the fact I'm using an A8-7650K. What I'm hoping to do is salvage my RAM, PSU and case then purchase a new CPU/Mobo bundle. What ATX mobo/Intel CPU combo would you recommend at a reasonable price point? I'm not...

I reapplied thermal paste and while temps dropped from 70 to 30-50, my computer still shut down (20 minutes after reapplication). Is this a PSU issue?

This issue started today, when I am gaming on Infinite Warfare after several minutes my screen will go black and my fans will make a loud noise. The second time this happened I restarted my PC and on the startup screen it began to repair my hard drive and resumed function as normal. I checked...

I recently bought a EVGA GTX 1060 3GB unaware that it wouldnt support VGA monitors, however mine has a DVI D *dual* link port. I was wondering if I used a HDMI cable with a DVI adapter corresponding to my monitor would work or if I'm out of luck. EDIT 3: sorry for the incompetence after looking...
