Hi all, noob builder here. I recently built my first PC. Runs great under normal browsing, low load. However, I tried running a game today (Apex Legends) and was able to play for <10 minutes before my PC crashed. At that point, it would crash, reboot, crash, reboot, etc. until I just manually...

Thanks for the response. I actually removed the wifi card altogether, and just tried to connect to internet via an ethernet cable, and the same issue still happened. I'm assuming that installer requires internet? I can't connect to the internet at all, wired or otherwise. I'm not sure what to...

Noob here. I just built my first PC and followed TechSource's Step-By-Step guide. It was going smoothly when I first powered it up, and when I started to install Windows 10, although I did have to hit F8 to make the system boot from USB. I got most of the way through setup (around the "enter...
