From personal experience, one reason a system can turn on then immediately off can be the mobo thinks the cpu cooling fan is not running.

550W should be plenty . . . brand and quality is more important than the 50W.

The web site won't accept "World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth" as a search term for drivers. It's only useful to allow you to pre-buy that game. If you try to DL drivers from that site, they want to install the "gameplay app" which presumably will push game purchase info to you. Better to get...

The extender doesn't strengthen signals. It "repeats" them. Assume you use two identical routers, one used as an extender, that have "20% power" at 60m. Place the extender at 60m from the original. Your signal strength will be 20% when at 60m from the extender, which can be 120m from the...

Making decisions by social media was tried in Rome at the Colosseum with less than outstanding results. Neither side has the right answer. Forcing companies with huge investments to offer competitive content without direct compensation is just wrong. Allowing some to stream massive content at...

Well, you did mention "hibernation" twice in the OP lol. Odd to use that word when you don't have hibernation active. Anyhow . . . If nothing productive is happening when it should (ie "lag") and there's no sign of excessive cpu utilization, next step is to look for disk activity. If the OS is...

Admittedly just a hip-shot, but if your Hibernation file is carried over from before the FCU . . . the first thing I'd do is take the steps necessary to delete the file and start over.

Without speaking to where this fight should rank, Kil'jaeden in Tomb of Sargeras is much tougher than Archimonde. Regardless of whether the fights are Normal, Heroic, or Mythic.

When you're coming back from the depths AMD was in, that packaging displays confidence and boldly announces that what's inside is a game changer for them. If so, it's good for all of us. We shall see :)

I wonder if a Silverstone FT02 could keep them from getting toasty :)

I have no problem with their warranty statement. They are telling you exactly how long its going to last. As long as the device reports where it is along the way, I'll know exactly when to replace it - no surprises.

- In my experience as a gamer, you're going to want at least 240GB of SSD C-drive. Can you get by with 128 by juggling games? Sure, but you really shouldn't be juggling off a $1500 build. Whether you go 2x128 or 1x240-256 is up to you, but I'd avoid the complexity of RAID and go 1x256. -...

I love these quarterly builds . . . even when I don't agree with certain choices, I learn something new each time. And the composite picture they draw gives me confidence tweaking my own builds to my own needs. Here's where I'd differ with your choices: I think the Antec 900 is highly...

Yay - congrats!
