Since last week all of a sudden my PC started making a long beep and static noise through my speakers. I noticed it the first time when I left my PC idle on my desktop. The only way to stop the noise is when I restart my computer. Other than noticing these sounds from my desktop, it started...

Just randomly the other day I booted up my PC and on Windows 10 loading screen this message showed up “Scanning and repairing drive (C) This has never happened before. The last time I shut off my PC I did not do a force shut down as I always shut down my PC through the Start menu. After...

Specs.. Windows 7 64 bit CPU: Intel i7 920 @2.66ghz Motherboard: Intel x58 Chipset Memory: 12gb RAM ddr3 I know my processor is old but my local computer store told me that my CPU will run Win 10. Upgrading to a new system is not an option for me at this time, as I would prefer to upgrade my...

Here is a list of CPUs available for the Alienware Area-51 desktop from DELL. The i9-9980XE is the most expensive, but I have learned that this CPU is better used as a workstation CPU. I know the i9-9900K is the best gaming CPU out there, but there is no option to choose that CPU on the...

I’m thinking about purchasing Windows 10 from my local computer store and upgrading from Windows 7. Question; does installing Windows 10 allow you to migrate all files and settings from Windows 7 the same way I did when I upgraded from Vista to 7? Thanks.

I’ve never built a PC before, so I would rather spend the money to have one built for me. I’m willing to spend 3-5K but I would like to do it smartly. I really like the Alienware systems. I’ve had my Dell XPS 730x that has served me well for 9 years, but i’m way overdue to buy a newer PC...

Bear with me as I know very little about CPUs in general. I’ve decided to save money for an Alienware Area-51 desktop PC. My primary use for getting an Area-51 is for heavy gaming and maximum performance. I’ve been a bit overwhelmed from all of the different types of CPUs to choose from Dell...

Update: I decided to purchase the GTX 1060 and it solved the problem. Turns out my GTX 960 threw in the towel. With my new GPU I am able to run all of my games : )

I tried to install 411.63 and 390.65 and still having the same problem : (

Lately I've been struggling with a pretty bad issue and I will try to explain in much detail as possible as to what I have ruled out. So a week ago, I was using the previous driver 411.70. I completed Far Cry 4 with no issues. After I beat the game, I installed Driver 416.34, manually rebooted...

Reply to the theonearm2 - Basically wondering if I can run next gen games, Yooka-Laylee in particular, Doom, Witcher lll etc.

So basically I have a Dell XPS 730x. It's an older system and I've had it for a long time, but it still runs great without any problems. My question and only big concern is that my CPU speed runs at 2.67GHz (tested at 2.93GHz max) There are a lot of next gen games I want to buy that require...
