Small update, I was trying to reproduce the crash to get the log (which didn't look like it saved the last few minutes up until the crash, so I'll have to do it again). When I restarted Windows scanned and repaired my C drive, I don't think I did anything manually to initiate the scan. When I...

Been having this issue for a week, when while gaming I'll suddenly lose my display, will hear a windows error pop up (but of course can't see what it is), and my GPU fans will ramp up to max. I have a large list of things I've tried and have been unable to fix it. First go to of course was...

That's true, I haven't tried to overclock it yet. I'll give that a shot before I make any purchases. I upgraded from a 680, so I was expecting to see a fair bit of difference. Which I have for the most part. Maybe it was just that the particular games I tried don't run well period, even on good...

I just upgraded my GPU, and while games are definitely running a lot better, it's not as much of an improvement as I thought I'd have. I didn't think my old CPU would be too much of a bottleneck, but maybe I was wrong. Is that where my issue likely lies? My current set up is: GTX 1080 8GB VRAM...

I don't really know all that much when it comes to performance comparisons between single cards and SLI, so I was wondering if someone could give me a bit of insight. I currently have a single GTX 680 Classified. Great card, still holds up real well on current gen games. But I'm thinking about...

I know when I built this last year, I was contemplating running 2 cards, but everyone said a lot of games weren't optimized for SLI and actually had worse performance unless you turned 1 card off. So I take it this is still an ongoing issue?

I have some extra money and am considering upgrading my PC, and I have some questions regarding what's worth upgrading. My PC is just used for gaming, no video editing or any other intense uses like that. My current set up is: i5 3570K GTX 680 4GB VRAM 4x2 GB ram Asus P8Z77-V motherboard 850W...

I completed my first build the other day, installed the OS and drivers/programs. But while messing around with the internals, I managed to break a piece of the motherboard. I've ordered a replacement, so I was wondering, after I install the new Mobo, am I going to have to reinstall my OS etc and...

I have kind of a dumb question about this case:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146079&Tpk=nzxt%20phantom%20green&IsVirtualParent=1 All but one of the LEDs are working. The one that isn't working is the second LED behind the power button. If anyone knows what this LED is...

I just built my first PC, and everything went smooth, except I broke off a pin in my USB 3.0 header that controls the USB 3.0 drive on my cases faceplate. Not a big deal, I don't need it but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and would like it to work. Before I get any further in installing drivers...
