    SSD died after swapping GPU, any ideas as to why?

    The ssd is a sandisk "Ultra Plus". I swapped out my 2x 280x for an evga 1070, after i booted up my computer i noticed that one of my ssd's disappeared (the other ssd and hard drives were fine). I checked to make sure that it was dead by swapping a good ssd in its slot. Any clue as to how i...

    Computer won't boot properly, dead/dying psu?

    My build is about 3 years old now, so it isn't a new build. Recently, my computer wouldn't turn on most of the time from a cold start, but when it does turn on, it appears to be fine.

    As clearly stated, i have 2x4gb (8gb in total) not a single 4gb. I'm not running out of ram while idling, but i run out of ram when i have heaps of chrome tabs opened up. I like to have a lot of tabs opened up when im researching or doing my assignments. But that's not the point. I want to...

    Upgrading ram capacity from 2x4gb to 4x4gb on a dual channel m/b

    I currently have 2x4gb corsair rams running in dual channel. I want to add another 8gb because i find that im running out ram every now and then because google chrome is such a resource hog. My question is, is it worth breaking the dual channel setup to save some money? or should i sell off my...
