Hi all, So sorry for the slow response. I found a fix by enabling CSM boot. However, since that first incident, I have had to do this every time now I switch on my PC after turning it off overnight. The PC also doesn't just start up; it turns on for a few seconds, turns off and on again by...

Windows was updating this morning when I left for work. When I came home this afternoon and turned my PC on it boots straight into the BIOS. Not a single one of my drives (two sata SSDs, one HDD and one NVMe drive) shows up as a bootable option. I tried unplugging the SSDs and putting them back...

Simply cleaned the controller by rubbing alcohol around the ABXY buttons using a cotton swab and pressing the buttons repeatedly. Not sure how to open the controller for a more thorough clean. There are no screws I can undo and I do not want to break it by trying to force it open... Anyway...

When I need to hold an ABXY button, it is like the hold gets interrupted and it registers as a quick press. For example, when I need to hold it to jump high in a game (such as Hollow Knight) the knight only does a very short jump. I tried to fix it by cleaning the controller but this did not...

Nevermind, found the solution here: https://superuser.com/questions/1233477/computers-have-drastically-different-download-speeds-on-the-same-network

Hi all, My PC at home has an internet speed of 250 mbps. Recently I had trouble downloading some files and decided to try on my laptop (that I usually only use at the office) with the exact same ethernet cable and got a speed of about 500 mbps. What could be the reason why my PC runs at a...

Thanks, in spite of the large difference in price I decided to play it safe and went for the Core i7. I have decided to stick with SLI to see how it works for me. Just got my secondhand GTX 1080 and seems to be working as it should. Now I just need to wait for my other components to arrive...

Thanks for the response! Would you say the Core i7-9700 is better even for 4K gaming?

Hi all! I recently purchased a 4K monitor for gaming. While I am really impressed with the increased resolution, the drop in frame rate is predictably quite noticeable, especially in games like The Witcher 3, Jedi Fallen Order, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Xplane 11. My current machine is...

Hi all, I would like to purchase an NZXT H440 computer case and a liquid cooling system for my CPU (not an overclocker, just like the appearance). I just need to be sure the following cooling system will fit in the case if I attach it to the roof. PC case...

Hi, So I bought an MSI R9 390 graphics card about two years ago. I formatted my PC a while back and upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 and just the other day (after taking playing the Dark Souls series) decided to reinstall Witcher 3. However, it seems to be running at a lower frame rate...
