EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GA, 80 Plus Gold 850W I think this is mine That power lead has 3 connectors with Seagate and RED PRO x2, middle connector failed. Seagate on the first and RED PRO on the third are still working. New SSD was added to entirely different lead. It seems like power overdraw...

GTX 970, 4790K, Asus Maximus Hero VII. I have very slow boot, about 5 min. Selective start up with just a few drivers to load. My previous GPU crashed and died. Also, I have this slow boot up issue for a while, I think GPU was dying for a while, PC was crushing few times a month with screen...

Hello. I understand that I have to ask this question in Legacy section, but it is very quiet there and question is general. Since I am on old Windows 8.1 (don't suggest upgrading/updating), I cannot install latest drivers. The last driver from NVIDIA (version 475) installs on my PC, but then...

Update Just finish running CMD Prompt with those commands in that order. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth sfc /scannow chkdsk /f C: No errors reported, first 2 commands went quick, third one took some time. Shutting down part of restart got significantly shorter, but still about...

Hello. I have Win8.1 on Asus MOBO with 4790K, Samsung SSd and GTX 970 10 years old PC. Problem. Extremely slow boot time or restart time, up to 10+ minutes. Last one I was watching BSOD for about 5 minutes, but Win booted through). A year or a bit more ago I had terrible crash and I remember...

Lucky for me, I still did not trashed my first card for this PC - 970, which is now working again. What was strange in past few days, I...

Thanks to all for suggestions. Due to my sudden medical issues, I cannot do the severe" solution as BIOS reset by changing CMOS battery, but I hope it has some juice left as my PC, untill just past year, was running 24/7. I strongly suspect Motherboard connection or falling capacitor - as my PC...

Hello First of all. I can not afford at this moment new PC either build myself or buy, please no suggestions like those. Problem. My PC is sitting under the desk, on the floor and once in a while it get kicked (not strong, but enough to create vibration, I guess). Then it shut dons, sometimes...

Sorry for confusion. I have 2 ISPs (fastest one is free as it included into my rent), but connected to the fastest one, which happened to be the least reliable of 2 - dropping service too often. Since I have 2 WI-FI networks at home, I can switch on the fly from one to the other during work. The...

Thanks for answering. I could not post similar question 6 months ago, because I just got Mullvad VPN, and have no prior experience with any VPNs. Somehow everything works. Mullvad has embedded options for WireGuard and Open VPN, and an Automatic setting. When I tried to setup either WireGuard...

Hi As you probably noticed my almost the same question on this forum, why another router, you may ask. Very simple. I have 2 ISP providers from times of Covid when we had to work from home and wanted guaranteed Internet connection, so I have 2 connections and can switch more or less easy between...
