    Question PC has random restarts and sometimes won't turn on properly ?

    Yes I did a clean install after. Did the bios update to F21 before work, seems to have went alright as it boots and whatnot at the moment. Problem with these restarts is they're not something I can consistently reproduce so if it somehow fixed it then it'll take a while to know. If its still...

    Question PC has random restarts and sometimes won't turn on properly ?

    I'll look into updating the BIOS again after work. The clean install was originally installed over windows 10, then from there immediately telling Windows 11 to do a full clean reinstall that wiped the C: drive and all its contents. Samsung Magician says my Samsung drives are up to date and have...

    Question PC has random restarts and sometimes won't turn on properly ?

    My Gigabyte Z690 DDR4 motherboard is running BIOS version F8, which I installed via their own App Center program. The installer for the OS was via the Windows 10 free upgrade to Windows 11, downloading it via Windows 10 and then telling it to do a clean install so there's nothing left on the C...

    Question PC has random restarts and sometimes won't turn on properly ?

    Question Looking for advice on upgrading my GTX1060

    Your CPU is going to blow away any GPU in that range which is good. I would say VRAM speed is as important as VRAM capacity at this point. A lot of it depends on the games you want to run and at what settings. If you're sticking 1440p, and aiming for a 60FPS/60Hz experience then I think you've...

    Question PC Restarting with Error ID 41, zero bugcheck code

    Bit the bullet and replaced the Power Supply with a new Corsair HX1000i. I can't tell if the extra juice is the help in terms of GPU transient power spikes or if the old one was just getting unreliable as I don't have another gaming rig to check it with, but either way the problem cleaned up...

    Question PC Restarting with Error ID 41, zero bugcheck code

    Had an old PSU tester in a drawer, though no instructions etc with it. Plugged in the 24 pin motherboard cable and also tried plugging in each cable that powers the GPU separately. Results looked the exact same each time, the 5vSB and +5V went 4.9 and 5.0 frequently (Changes every 1-2 seconds?)...

    Question PC Restarting with Error ID 41, zero bugcheck code

    Hey folks, My PC has been doing random restarts with Error ID 41 in the event viewer with BugCheckCode 0. There's no BSOD accompanying it. It had been happening sporadically for a few weeks whilst I was on Windows 10. It can happen in a variety of games, though some produce it more regularly...
