    Question Random lock ups, but only when browsing/idle, NOT when gaming ?

    Update: My initial guess, after checking Resource Monitor, was that Windows Defender scans were causing 100% disk usage. Spent half a day with "Do Not Disturb" on and half a day with Windows Defender turned off to test it, but the issue still persisted on both. I then tried "dism" and "sfc...

    [SOLVED] i7 8700 at 90ºC in BIOS and idle at desktop

    Hey, I've been having this really annoying issue today with my CPU temperature. I was playing Days Gone while, all of a sudden, my computer started lagging and my fans started to get loud. My first thought was high temps, so, since I didn't have any temperature software installed, I rebooted and...

    ASUS GTX 1050 Ti 4GB vs. MSI GTX 1060 3GB

    Hi there, I've been thinking about upgrading my PC for a while and I'm finally doing it, and I'm starting by upgrading the GPU. After looking through the internet, I found the GTX 1050 Ti 4GB and the GTX 1060 3GB. Both are great (since my current GPU is a GTX 750 Ti), and they're not very...
