    Question USB Mouse randomly disconnecting, won't connect again unless I restart the PC.

He replaced his keyboard with another one and...

    Hi everyone. The title says it all. A few days lately I have this problem, firstly it was occurred at late night, once a day. But now sometimes it occurred at afternoon too, twice a day now and sometimes keyboard too. When it happened, it affect two USB ports at once. One at the back where I...

    [SOLVED] Which of these 2 old processors would be least bad for modern gaming?

    I agree with ohio_buckeye. But there is advantages and disadvantages. Phenom IIs lacks newer instructions and some newer games won't even launch if you use it. On the other side, although worse for gaming, FX 4300 has newer instructions so it can launch some games that Phenom II can't.

    Question A8 7500 wrong temperature reading (HWMonitor, OpenHardwareMonitor, Core Temp)

    Hmm.. so although currently there is no known method to correctly read the temperature due to Overdrive always crash, will this PC be allright? Because as I said before the pc isn't mainly for gaming (although there is one game, my leftover after moving to new pc build). It's intended for...

    Question A8 7500 wrong temperature reading (HWMonitor, OpenHardwareMonitor, Core Temp)

    Oh, actually I've tested it before creating new thread here, although I haven't installed Afterburner when I did the test. Game setting: medium (because I only use R7 igpu), iirc 1-2 hours of play. First test when before I put everything into the case. Second test, the next morning. In quiet...

    Question A8 7500 wrong temperature reading (HWMonitor, OpenHardwareMonitor, Core Temp)

    Sorry for the late reply. The pc isn't intended for gaming, but there is one online game installed.

    Question windows shows my cpu is up to 1.99

    There is no "fix" for that. It is what it is. 1.80 is base clock, while that 1.99 is current clock speed. If you open many programs it will go up. It will go as high as 4.6 but only single core, not all cores.

    Question A8 7500 wrong temperature reading (HWMonitor, OpenHardwareMonitor, Core Temp)

    Thanks. I never use old APUs so I didn't know the 3rd party monitoring softwares are always gives wrong readings. I tried AMD Overdrive, unfortunately it always crash after opening the program.

    Question A8 7500 wrong temperature reading (HWMonitor, OpenHardwareMonitor, Core Temp)

    Hi Firstly, in case anyone never heard A8 7500, it's prebuilt PC only processor. The CPU and GPU cores are similar to A8 7600. Also afaik, apparently it doesn't have boost clock. I have old Athlon II PC, with Jetway TA97MG motherboard. The RAM slots are getting faulty after years of usage...

    Question Recently upgraded PC (R5 2600, Asrock B450M-HDV R4.0) went black screen, no POST, no BIOS

    Yes, the RAMs are correctly placed. The slots are clean too. Hours before it went black screen it was fine, I used it for gaming, 3d rendering, and some graphic design works. Used it from morning to 16:00 / 4PM, shut it down because I want to sleep, and 2 hours later when I turn it on the screen...

    Yes I've tried that, still black screen. Btw here is the recent update: I tried to further troubleshoot it myself by swapping the processors (2600 to A320M, 2200G to B450M), and well... the motherboard is broken. Couldn't get into BIOS, and only things that turned on are LED and fans only...
