You don't need to really worry about it as long as the battery is out and there is no power going in. If you really want to ground yourself though, just put a metal plate on the floor and make sure you're touching it with your bare foot.

Yea I'm buy the Tenkeyless keyboard with the Gateron Blue switches and the Aura key caps. I'll probably end up getting a mouse too but I feel like they will probably release some new models very soon so I'm going to wait a bit. In the meantime, I do think I'll pick up one of their Mouse Bungies...

Have you tried doing a clean install of windows?

Wow this is a very detailed troubleshoot that a lot of people could benefit from. Hats of to you for the easy to follow advice (y)

If your friend down-cored your CPU to save you power, and you never switched it back, then I think that would be your problem. If you're saving power you are also going to have a performance loss if you aren't running all your cores.

Your GPU is throttling, I have the Vega 64 variant of the card and it is a common issue with them out of the box. The card isn't "bad" or "broken" or anything like that, you just need to do some playing around with the clock speeds and voltages in you p6 and p7. Generally if you under volt Vega...

When you boot up to your BIOS, do you see any drives available at all?

Some kits of RAM are coming with attachable coolers for Over-Clocking. I'm not sure how well it works, but I'm assuming it would work a bit better than just the heat spreader

I know the keyboard options are amazing for that price point. So many different switches to chose from, and like you said, you could have certain keys with certain switches based on preference. This company is making moves. They also have a mouse bungee for $15.99 that I might pick up. It makes...

"I'll get ahold of a floppy disc soon" only in the retro PC building community lol :ROFLMAO:

This company has some of the best reviews on their products but I never hear anyone talk about them. They released the Glorious Model O Gaming Mouse that weighs in at 67g (insane for FPS players), has a good sensor, nice RGB, and it costs $49.99. Then if you go look at their keyboard, you can...

The black screen makes me think it PSU, but the fan speed increase before the crash makes me think GPU. It may be clocking up (thats why the fans spin up) then when it hits a certain clock, it may be browning out your PSU because it is drawing too much power. That is my theory rn with the...

You should probably get a better PSU. 570s can draw some power

What were your GPU temps when it is crashing? It might be throttling from heat if your case doesn't have adequate air flow. You may be able to fix with some voltage and clock speed changes if it is throttling.

That system will not be able to run games at 4K 60fps unfortunately. Your GPU is probably thermal throttling from trying to hit that amount of performance. A 1060 would have trouble getting a consistent 60FPS in most AAA titles at even 1440 resolution. With that set-up, your best FPS performance...
