The +12V rail min/max looks a lot more different than it was because I had HWmonitor running before launching any kind of game. I'll try to launch first then alt tab to start the monitoring software while the game is running. Quick edit, not sure how to reliably get the min/max values showing...

I'm probably going to continue to monitor my performance with HWmonitor for the time being. Excuse the stupid question, but could you explain where your getting the 50, 100, and 250 from? I'm assuming the 10 is a plus or minus margin of error, is that correct? Thanks for the advice.

Just a quick update: Contacted CyberPowerPC and am awaiting a response. In the mean time I ran Fallout 4 on medium settings for about an hour and at the end there were my results on hardwaremonitor: View: https://imgur.com/a/St5qmi0 How are those voltages? No issues other than the game...

Currently I have a 500W 80+ Thermaltake PSU which came with the PC I have. All the components are what came with the PC, which I bought from CyberPowerPC. The PC can be found here...

I got it! Turns out the RAM wasn't reseated all the way. I had it pushed down all the way on one side but not the other. I was under the impression I did it right because only one of my 'clips' that holds the RAM in place actually flips up and the other doesn't. All the videos I watched on...

Thanks I'll take a crack at it! Fingers crossed.

I tried unplugging everything, waiting, and then plugging it back back in and powering it all up. Unfortunately it didn't solve the issue. CyberPowerPC support emailed me suggesting that I follow a guide to reseat my graphics card, but I never removed it in the first place so... does that sound...

Well I tried unplugging everything, waiting, plugging it back back in and powering it all up. Unfortunately it didn't solve the issue. CyberPowerPC support emailed me suggesting that I follow a guide to reseat my graphics card, but I never removed it in the first place so... does that sound like...

Thanks, will do. Silly question but, does it matter how long I leave it unplugged? If I leave it for several hours should it still get the same result as if I plugged it all back in 10 minutes later? Thanks again.

I have both an HDMI and VGA cable both running from the monitor to the PC at the same time, but this is how I've always had it with no problem. Should I disconnect the VGA on both sides for 10 minutes as well?

I tried unplugging the HDMI and power to the monitor and will wait ten minutes and hook it all back up to see what happens. I should mention that I have both an HDMI and VGA cable both running from the monitor to the PC at the same time, but again, this is how I've always had it with no...

I just reseated my my RAM and checked to make sure all connections inside the PC were secure. I booted it back up and reconnected everything externally just like it was (I took a picture to make sure I didn't forget where everything goes) and my PC booted up fine. When I booted up my PC however...

Thanks, I'll probably give that one a try. Much appreciated!

Thank you for the recommendation, although I read that having too much wattage can be a bad thing by lowering system efficiency, effectively running up the power bill and causing other problems? Could 620 watts be overkill for my system or is it better to go over? Appreciate all the help you've...

EDIT: Updated with more information I'm looking at getting a new PSU for my system which can be found here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-ultra-desktop-amd-ryzen-5-1400-8gb-memory-amd-radeon-rx-580-1tb-hard-drive-black/5833100.p?skuId=5833100 Specs: Motherboard: ASUSTeK...
