Boost doesn't work that way. Your base clock is what your CPU should be doing at 100% load with all cores working. so running on 1 core at 30-99% should give you a boost of 4.2GHz. the more cores being use will lower the boost clock. so all cores at 100% at 3.9GHz with a base of 3.6GHz seems...

As long as there are no visible damages other than bent pins and you haven't shorted out the motherboard, 95% chance of it working if you can bend the pins back without breaking it. I have in the past used a needle to slowly bend the pins to the default seating (or just enough to match up with...

I'm guessing the laptop has an AMD graphics? the issue is, when installing the drivers it immediately enables ULPS mode, then you get a bluescreen and cant boot into normal mode. the way i got around the issue with the Dell M2800 is to disable ULPS before installing the driver. there is...

does it shut off when its idle? my cousin has a shutdown issue and it only happens when at high usage. PSU and keep up with graphics card usage.

due to the age of pc- DDR3 is not worth buying as its discontinued, second hand for very cheap would be my option. SSD you can use in a newer pc. most likely the newer pc wont use ddr3 so not worth the upgrade.

what it did to me was, it will show bluetooth is on, when you try to pair it shows please make sure bluetooth is on. you turn it off it shows bluetooth is off please turn it on. Luckly i was changed laptops during that time. Glad you got yourself sorted.

it is probably the adaptor i bought the same kind CSR 4.0 generic. it was very bad (still is someone else is using it and complaining), i would have to pair my stuff everytime i wanted to use it. but my new motherboard has built-in bluetooth so now everything works fantastic.

the 2nd slot is probably bad, if it didnt detect the ram it would boot with only 1 slot, by re-setting the ram it may have detected the ram but the slot is still bad and will prevent boot. also if the motherboard is new, i would suggest taking a closer look at the slots. i once received a board...

Hi, in task manager where it shows committed - this includes your page file. so if you have 4GB of ram and a 20GB page file it will show 24GB in total. on the top right it will show your actual ram amount. But I'm glad you got it working. wish i could add 2x8GB in my PC right now.

i haven't had an issue mixing ram, so long as the specs are the same- and is supported by your motherboard ( although my current ram is not supported on the motherboard list it still works) you can use CPU-z and check the Memory and SPD tabs to determine what your current ram spec is.

I dont think its your PSU, your PSU is not powering your monitor is it?

if using Windows 10, when you in windows you can hold down the shift key and select restart. it will bring up a menu from this menu you can reboot into the bios. normally with random reboots or issues while in windows, event viewer should help a little. i usually reinstall windows every new...

Hi, your computer is not throttling. the base speed is 3.4GHz, so at 3.5GHz it is still running at boost speed. 3.5GHz - 3.9GHz is boost speeds which depends on work load and how much cores are working. if you are at 100% CPU usage and it drops way below 3.4GHz then you should be concerned.

TDP wont reach max unless you running onboard graphics and overclocking. bluescreens and crashes are not only hardware based. If you are concerned about your powersupply you should mention what hardware you are using.

Once got a new motherboard that was missing a pin on the ram slot. it worked with a single DIMM, but not when all 4 slots were filled
