To sum up: My computer was fine until a few days ago, where for seemingly no reason it became slower. Programs still load up instantly-near instantly, I've not noticed anything different there. Websites now load inconsistently, sometimes they load up as fast as they normally would, sometimes...

Hmm, okay, I think I understand a bit better. A lot of the information on drivers can feel very contradictory, because you're told simultaneously to seek them out and download them all, and yet at the same time told not to unless it becomes necessary. I know Windows handles a lot of driver...

Yeah, of course I did see the free version on that page, but I was worried that it might be different, or not as good as the purchased version. It's good to know it still works totally fine. I think I'll download the free memtest and use that, and then use the benchmark Dooop linked after I...

Hey, so I'm building a PC for the first time. I'm not quite ready to begin installing drivers (still need to get Windows on it), but there is something I'm not sure about that I don't see any online tutorials really go into detail about. So this is my motherboard...

Hey there, building a PC for the first time. Are there any good programs that'll let me test and make sure my memory is working properly, but that's also free? I've seen this program be brought up: http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm ...but I really don't feel like paying $40-$50 for...

Hey, so recently I inquired on this forum about using a splitter to connect my front fan and my back fan using only one set of fan pins on my motherboard. The CPU fan is plugged into its proper set of pins, leaving both a three-pin back fan cable, and a four-pin front fan cable. However, there...

I'm not sure if this thread has expired and I should just start a new one for this topic, but I'll try posting here first. My splitter arrived today, and the three-pin back fan cable fit right into the four pin slot of the splitter no problem. However, the four pin front fan cable is slightly...

Alright, so I'm building a PC for the first time, and it has been relatively simple beyond getting caught up on where some wires plug into the motherboard. However, I have kinda hit a brick wall in where to hook up all of my fans, of all places. Now, I got my Intel CPU into place, (a Pentium...

Wow, I did not expect this many responses so quickly! Thanks everyone, this is great! But yeah, one thing I'm really not certain on is whether or not I do need to pay for Windows 10, honestly, it's a very confusing topic to try and find definitive answers on. The computer I'm using now is a...

Alright, so almost exactly a year ago, I posted to this site asking for opinions on a PC build for around $500. A number of reasons then led to me allocating my PC funds to more important things, and now here I am nearly a year later, with my same old junky PC. I wish to take a second look and...
