    Red screen on startup

    I was given a "spray duster", and thought that was just compressed air. I went to get my motherboard manual from my room, and I came back and someone was spraying it on my CPU heatsink. It appeared that it had some kind of liquid in it that evaporated almost immediately. I turned my PC on, and...

    Which graphics card to buy?

    I just sold my GTX 950, and am looking to buy a new graphics card. I don't really mind whether it's an nVidia or AMD card. I have a $250 AUD budget. I intend to use it for gaming. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

    I just started to build a PC. I've installed the CPU, the heatsync, and the RAM onto the motherboard, and screwed the motherboard into the case. I also have screwed the power supply in, and connected the 24-pin connector into the motherboard. I have plugged the fan that came with my case into...

    Cable for the CPU heatsink can't reach the cpu_fan header!

    Hi everyone. For some time I have been meaning to build (my first) computer. All I've decided on so far is the CPU, I thought the Intel i3-6100 might be a good choice. Also, I've heard people talking about sequences you should get your parts in (which I have remained fully ignorant to). I don't...
