Hmm, in that case I'll try switching to an older BIOS later today. MEMTEST86 came back with 0 errors on all 4 passes, so I'm guessing that my memory isn't the main problem (if it is one at all). I noticed that when going into command prompt while in system recovery mode, it loads into X:\, which...

So far I've run 2 passes with no errors, and will let it run the next two passes overnight (since the free version is limited to 4 passes). If it turns up with no errors in the end, or only a couple after 4 passes, is this likely to have caused the frequent BSOD'ing and corruption of the OS...

Is there a way to set one up from a Mac running OSX? I ran the exe and converted a USB while in safemode on my desktop, but found that it would hang on a black screen with blinking cursor when booting from it so I'm not sure if it was setup correctly, and now I can't boot back into safemode...

Wasn't sure if I should post this under Hardware>Memory or here, but here goes. There's a bit of background necessary, but over the past few weeks (great timing with COVID19 right?) I've been having issues with my desktop, which I am now no longer able to boot into Windows. Trying to reinstall...

About a month ago after recently moving, I noticed that my desktop frequently crashed a few minutes after boot-up, where everything would freeze and I would have to hold the power button and force it off. I thought maybe some pins had come loose during the move so I checked and although I didn't...

Hello, I was originally going to purchase the Sapphire Vapor-X version of this card, but it has recently gone out of stock (and I cannot purchase this card from other retailers, as I live in Canada, and they all charge upwards of $500 for it, or don't ship internationally :( ) and was wondering...

Hey, I've been looking around at parts and have nearly finalized my choices but have been unable to decide on a decent case for under $150. I have several in mind, though I wanted to see what you guys thought and/or if you had any cases you think would work. Corsair 600T (this is the most...

Ah okay, I think I'll go with the cheaper TN monitor then, thanks a lot! :D

What are the main differences between the TN and IPS monitors? The Asus VS238H-P looks like a similar version which is IPS panel, and only $20 more than the TN monitor, though I'm not sure exactly what I'd be getting haha.

Hey, I have been looking around for a good gaming monitor and was wanting to know if you guys had any suggestions. Ideally, I'm looking for something around 23" and 1080p. I have seen the Asus VS238H-P suggested a few times, though I haven't found any locally to get a look at in person. Let...

For some reason those links don't work D: They all redirect to the newegg homepage for some reason

Okay thanks guys! :D

I was wanting to know if a 650W PSU would be enough wattage for my build, or if I should consider getting a 750W instead, as I am not sure how much power this will draw. I was looking around and I got very conflicting opinions/comments as to what it looked like what was needed, with some...
