Okay, if that did not detect an issue with your RAM you can use "eventvwr" or "eventvwr.msc" in the command prompt again to get an overall system view. The event viewer is as the name implies; recordes all events that occur on your system. Look for any error messages (i.e. red text).

Run "mdsched.exe" in the command prompt. It's window's built in memory diagnostic tool. You should be able to access it before loading into your desktop. https://www.intowindows.com/3-ways-to-run-memory-diagnostics-tool-in-windows-10/

I just moved my setup into a new apartment and now I can't get my PC to display on my monitor. Troubleshooting: My monitor can turn on and states "display port not detected." I have an i9 9900k so it should have integrated graphics; I connected the monitor directly to the motherboard's display...

Yes, that's what it was. I ended up replacing it with an optical cable.

It was the update; I uninstalled it and then restarted my pc. It's running fine now. I never clean install; it's a rather large headache and I've never had issues anyways. Besides it's a lot easier to just uninstall and delete old drivers than having to completely back up my data and then...

B450 and x470 are the chip-sets used on the motherboards. The X series chip-sets are the high-end chip-sets while the B series are the entry level or mid-range. However, that said, the Tomahawk B450 is viewed as a great board because it has good heat-sinks and VRMs. VRMs are what control the...

That Ryzen upgrade will be around $465 compared to buying a used i7-7700K at the lowest price of $300 on eBay. Although, the Ryzen will be new and will perform better in gaming and at other work loads. https://www.ebay.com/p/26032168937?iid=174267373468

I would suggest upgrading to the 7700k if that's at all affordable. However, what I'd really suggest is upgrading to a Ryzen 3700X on a x470 board as it will be newer and is more affordable since they don't have PCIe 4.0 like the x570...

Just trying to clarify by, "changing default device in windows", you do mean "select playback device" from the drop down menu, which should appear once you click on the speaker icon on your desktop taskbar.

I recently purchased some Peachtree M24 speakers from Audio Advice. While they sound clear during use of Bluetooth, it is only when I switch to AUX that high-pitched static can be heard in the background. I've tried updating the drivers for my speakers through Windows 10's device manager, but it...

I recently swapped out my Asus Z390E-gaming motherboard for the Asus Z390- Maximus XI Hero. I've tried updating Windows 10 to version 1909, which doesn't seem to resolve the issue. The only reason why I was doing any of this was to update the drivers for my speakers, which are producing a...

Rewatch the second video I posted from Hardware Unboxed where he states the low response time bottlenecks the display from reaching a true 144hz. It should be at 4:00 in the video.

VA panels have issues with response time when clocked at higher refresh rates, so they go hand and hand. This will affect gameplay image quality because it will cause ghosting and motion blur. While the picture may look good still, in game quality will not be as great. Also true HDR that meet...

Here's an example of an Asus $430 dollar VA panel monitor, which still has the same issues with refresh rates as other VAs. Certain panels are just better at certain things. View: https://youtu.be/gJqgWkRMiwY
