Hey everyone, me and my dad came around to assemble the PC today. I've asked him if he wanted anything changed (case, cpu fan, new RAM) before putting it together but he didn't want any of that. The Cable management is not the best, but the PC works perfectly fine and he is very, very happy with...

He's using an Fx4100 at the moment, everything is better than that :P thanks for your heads up though, I'll be sure to post a picture of the final result (pre-built or assembled together) once his birthday rolls around

I just don't know if it's okay to use for gaming, then again... I don't know much about PC parts so I was just wondering. The Mainboard in question is the HP PMMB-FM

My dad will turn 50 soon and I would like to build him something for his birthday or get the parts and assemble it together. His current PC was my 1st ever using an awful CPU. It doesn't have to be overkill or with the newest parts. In fact, I could pick up one of our now-replaced PCs from work...

the card was the old one of a friend who used it just for gaming. Also, I am kind of afraid to make a disk wipe, I've had some issues and problems with that before... though if I know I won't run into any problems I will try that, too.

I uninstalled all the driver-related software and rebooted my PC. Then I installed the drivers again, but let AMD detect what driver I "should" get. Couldn't it be that there is some sort of misunderstanding between the card/drivers and the OS, because these frequent failures seem to be pretty odd.

Dude, I have an AMD card, so why would I install nVidia drivers?

The issue is still happening, I'm slowly getting very pissed. I can't even play The Crew, every 2 minutes crashes with ID 4101

It happens with several games... I got two games "fixed" with updating the driver, but I still can't figure out why it still gives me such a hard time. EDIT: Played Witcher for another 20 minutes, crashed again like this... ID 4101

Hey, I got a completely new PC for gaming now, only parts I re-used are the GPU and my SSD's. Now it often occurs that midgame the game crashes to dektop, before it crashes the video freezes while sound continues. I can sometimes alt+tab out which will immediately close the game (Witcher 3) or...

Hmm.... And if I buy a 1151 mainboard NOW, save one month to buy a 1151 i5? I guess after 7 years of using this pc I can wait another month or two.

I was just asking. And which i5 is the best for the least money? I'm definetly going to switch to Intel, but maybe there is a good i5? Doesn't have to be the newest obviously. But you're right, the Pentium is a beast for its price

I just don't know. I don't have much experience with PC's I would say. I know a bit, but it's not much. Intel is so expensive. AMD is cheap but only good if you OC (I guess?). Any other intel that would be good for my needs?

Well I never did anything with overclocking, and I have no idea what aftermarket fan I should use, I'm still using the stopck boxed fan on my fx4100; I installed 2 more case fansm one sucking air in and one pushing it out.

I'm just asking because some people from here told me that my "stock" A87 can run into VRM overheat issues, causing the cpu to throttle down
