    Otherwise if you are okay using different browsers, then you can just leave chrome alone and not use it.

    Windows 8.1 Random freezes

    Okay. If you wish to use chrome, sometimes right clicking it and making it run in compatibility mode works. If compatibility mode works, slowly add one extension at a time. Only use one at a time, and if any causes the same thing to happen. Do not use it. We have determined chrome is...

    It generally is a very good resource for fixing any issue with a computer. It is to help find where the problem is, not how to fix it. It is very extensive.

    Is my ssd craping out?

    If they do not work, then I do not know what to do. I am definitely not an expert on motherboards so you should seek further help from someone who knows more about motherboards if these do not work.

    Is my ssd craping out?

    You could try going into bios and loading defaults. You could also update the bios revision from the motherboard manufacturer. Try the first one first though. Make sure you get the right BIOS for your motherboard as it can break the whole motherboard if you get the wrong one that isn't compatible.

    looking for advice on build

    Having two brands of ram in a PC doesn't make a massive difference, although in a new build it is best not to mix so you get the most optimal performance possible.

    Is my ssd craping out?

    If the BIOS was laggy then the SSD isnt causing the slow down. The BIOS does not need to access the SSD (other than for information such as name and size). Also SATA 2 is still fast. There isn't a major difference in real world performance between SATA 2 and SATA 3.

    There are many products for this. They are all very similar and any brand should work. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Metal-Mounting-Adapter-Bracket-Holder/dp/B009EO1UQ6/ref=pd_bxgy_computers_text_y...

    PC Crashing Randomly, Windows 8.1

    Okay, update everything and then get back to me. Give me any more details. I want to narrow the issue down as much as possible. I will say in advance, if we cannot fix the issue, there is a very useful book that helps you narrow down problems with your computer and then you can fix the problem...

    PC Crashing Randomly, Windows 8.1

    In the other thread, you relied on windows update to get the drivers. I recommend going to the manufacturers website and downloading them directly from there.

    looking for advice on build

    The build is solid. The only thing I would say is change the seagate hard drive to a Western Digital (Caviar Blue) simply because I have found them to be more reliable and to last longer. I recommend this monitor. It is very good and has accurate colours...

    The graphics card and cpu is very capable of those games. The r7 265 is more or less equivalent to the gtx 750 ti which was shown in the videos posted above.
