Hello all, I just upgraded my PC to a Ryzen 3800X in an Asus B550-A motherboard from an i7-6700k in an MSI Z170A SLI Plus mobo. I have 32 GB of Corsair Vengeance Pro (3200MHz) RAM and I was hoping the mobo switch would allow me to run the RAM at 3200MHz since the previous mobo had no XMP...

My PC is currently wired via ethernet cable directly into my Comcast cable modem and it is showing up as connected. The network settings say that I am connected to the internet but nothing is connecting to the internet. I uninstalled Chrome and it won't let me reinstall it now saying that I need...

So I bought the MSI Codex X-032US Prebuilt PC from Microcenter last fall in a pinch and I was wondering if it was worth it to move the internals to a new case (with more than ONE fan) and a power supply that doesn't look as sketchy. I actually attempted to build a PC before I bought this one and...

I've been to Geek Squad and back twice, I've asked all of my computer science friends and we just can't pin point the problem! My custom built PC keeps freezing after about an hour of use. I'll be gaming, an hour later it freezes. I'll be watching Youtube, an hour later it freezes. I'll leave it...

UPDATE: Just got back from Geek Squad along with a refund and they couldn't find the specific problem. The agent said that they switched out the graphics card and it still froze so they think it's either Ram or PSU related. My PSU is an OCZ 700MXSP

Sorry I should've included specs. I'm going through the process to get every dime of that money, but imo if I take it to your company three separate times and spend that much money, I shouldn't have this issue anymore. I'm new to this having a powerful computer thing but without further delay my...

Hey all, I just spent a total of $340 to Geek Squad to repair my computer's random freezing. They did a Tune up, a diagnostic repair, and I brought it in for a physical repair and 30 minutes after I got home it's back to freezing every 30 minutes. I noticed that my Windows Pro isn't activated...
