No idea where I found the screw I kinda just shook the case a bit and it fell out from behind the motherboard. Only have 1 slot and 1 gpu. When I turn it on the msi logo lights up but fans don't spin but I think it might be a setting I have with it only spinning if it gets hot

so I've a relatively old system with a R9 380x and a Xeon e3 1231 v3 and what not. It was working fine however was getting rather dusty so I decided to clean it one day. I did the usual, blowing dust and wiping dust off the case and components, no biggie. I felt rather adventurous so I decided...

Hey! Trying to connect a VGA Laptop to a HDMI only TV and I'm having trouble. I just bought a standard one end VGA one end HDMI cable and well that didn't work, just had ''No Signal'' so I presume I need something else to get it working Any advice on what I need to order to get it working? The...

I fixed it. Went into the BIOS and under like the DRAM timings and what not, changed everything that was 'Channel 9' from Auto to 11. Seems to work.

Alrighty so a bit of a problem. I bought a new 8GB stick of RAM, DDR Corsair XMS, it's identical to my other stick BUT for the part that the new one is 1600mhz, while the old is 1333mhz. Now in my old motherboard there was seemingly no problems, however since then I have upgraded to a new CPU...

I fixed it. I am dumb. Basically the PSU fan had no air access to it as the case was right under the carpet. Simply put a book under it and it is quiet as night.

Hey. So my Seasonic S12II-620 arrived today and all seemed well and well I mean kinda seems well. My problem with it is, I am 100% sure that it has enough watts as previously I was running a 500w EVGA PSU without a problem. Now my problem with this one is, under no load like Google Chrome and...

Hey! For some time now my PSU has been making strange noises. It literally sounds like somebody snoring or a cat purring which is really strange, I've tried to research it but couldn't find anything with this exact noise.  Sometimes the noise gets louder and faster, sometimes quieter and slower...

So I just got done putting together my new motherboard, CPU and SSD and ahm, basically I have these multiple orange lights on the motherboard that I have no idea if they are supposed to be there as a decoration, or if it means something is work. The system works, so far at least and I can't...

Hello! Looking for a cheap motherboard to accompany my Xeon e3 1231 V3 and R9 380x and I've pretty much narrowed it down to these two. http://www.cclonline.com/product/128785/GA-B85M-DS3H-A/Motherboards/Gigabyte-GA-B85M-DS3H-A-S1150-B85-MATX-VGA-SND-GLN-U3-SATA-6GB/S-DDR3-IN/MBD0749/...

Basically, I want to upgrade my CPU and I am stuck between the I5 6600K and the I7 4790K. Now I am aware that on paper the I7 is obviously better, however in-game it does not make much of a difference, well in most games at least. However outside of games it is better in most areas, and if I can...
