I was taking apart an old prebuilt pc, and I found a part that looks familiar but I have no idea what it does. On the back it's called an SFA Converter Board. I searched google but didn't get any results. I'm assuming it's one of those parts that are only found in prebuilt computers. I'm curious...

I bought a new computer no more than 5 months ago, and the whole time I kept getting repeated blue screens. I ran Memtest in each slot with my single stick of RAM and three of them reported errors, while one just crashed the PC completely. How can I be sure it's my RAM and not my Motherboard...

Ok so this is the answer, I for one, had a broken graphics driver. I uninstalled it and reinstalled and then that was fine. Second, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL was because of an unstable GPU oc. Problem resolved.

I didn't get to doing the driver thing yet, but I was on my pc and I left to do something and when I came back it was blue screened. The stop code is DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Any ideas on this? ** Just restarted the PC and it didn't do the repeated resarting, but I checked windows...

What type of ethernet cable are you using? Cat3 cables run at a maximum of 10 mbps, cat5e would be recommended.

What Windows version is it?

Have you tried simply using the troubleshooter? Or do you call the troubleshooter "windows problem solver?" Sorry this is a lame response lol

Would you be able to buy a usb headset, or 3.5mm jack to usb adapter? Sounds like you broke the 3.5mm port.

I don't like the idea that there are pins located directly on the cpu for AMD. Intel has the pins on the mobo which makes it less likely to bend them. Like I said before I never had AMD but I've always had good lifetime and performance from Intel. I just built my first PC 3 months ago so I...

I have almost the same specs, I have the 16gb version of RAM, the same mobo, the cpu is 8600 instead of 8400. That setup though looks great, not sure about the 1050ti because I've never had one. I use the GTX 1060 6gb and it runs very well. I don't know anything about AMD so I can't help you...

I'll see if I can use an old version. Got an update a day or 2 ago.

They seem to be fine, could it be nvidia's driver update on the 1060? I've read that updates can sometimes cause errors.

Thermaltake 600 Watt 80 Plus ATX Power Supply

Intel i5-8600 @ 3.10GHz 6 Core Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB 16 GB RAM 2TB Seagate HDD Motherboard is B360 AORUS Gaming 3 Wifi OS is Windows 10

The GPU from what I've seen is a little better than my 1060 6GB, but I couldn't be 100% sure. If you plan on even better graphics I would say to upgrade the GPU to the 1080. The CPU looks fine with the speed (maybe get a 6 core) it's at and your RAM is great. If you're mostly gaming then the...
