    After a fair bit of digging around in windows, windows update to be specific I noticed that there were 2 new driver updates that happened around the time I started having this issue. Turns out one of those drivers "Intel corporation HDC drivers" was responsible for this behaviour of my system. I...

    Computer randomly boots with no signal

    Looking for a GPU: Currently hesitating between GeForce GT 1030 and GeFroce GTX 750 Ti

    As everyone else said : stay away from the 1030. Even though its older the 750ti is far better. But then the RX 560 which is just $40 above the price of the 750ti will offer a significant performance gain over the 750ti. I suggest you save a bit more and invest it in the RX 560. But if you do...

    Is this a compatible/will run build for the i3 2100 Gaming PC Build!!!

    The parts your listed are indeed compatible with each other but I would not recommend that you build the system as the CPU + mobo platform is outdated (Sandy bridge). I suggest that you get a pentium G4560 with a H110 chipset board and a DDR4 ram kit. I dont think your PSU has a PCIe connector...

    Brand New r7 360 makes no improvement in fps. HELP!

    It might be due to a bottleneck created by your A4 dualcore APU. It is a very weak chip in terms of IPC and I guess now the games are bottlenecked due to the weaker CPU.

    PC starts lagging after 2 minutes of innactivity

    Also do check if you have something like background antivirus scans running. Those are notorious for hogging resources making the PC feel laggy. But I doubt this is the case as you mention the problem exists even while you are watching a video. Check out the things bigpinkdragon suggested . I...

    My CPU is overheating from simple tasks.

    25C at idle and 50 at load is not bad at all. Those temps are well below the safe operational temperatures of any CPU. I would only start worrying if the temps start crossing the 80C mark.
