Ah, that is a very good explanation. Where did you find that information and where can I find what the memory sticks are?

Hi I recently tried to go from 16gb to 32gb DDR3 I had 4x4GB crucial ballistix and it worked great I tried 4x 8gb Komputerbay and it didn't work out, lots of errors and crashes, couldn't pass memtest86 I then got a cheap stick of 8gb (incase the komputerbay stuff was junk) and had the same...

Tried a CMOS reset. Still getting strange things happen with 4 sticks of this ram. Random power cycling and troubles booting. Going to return

Ok, the saga continues The machine passed memtest86 and Windows memory test But if I reboot the machine it hangs If I shut down, then the machine powers itself up again Is this faulty RAM or a Bios problem I'd like to return them and get a better brand, but I need low profiles and these...

Unfortunately not just coincidence. I hoped that was the case, booted into Windows successfully and now when I've rebooted I'm hung on the bios "gigabyte" logo again. Powered off and powered on, and I can boot into Windows What is going on

All the new RAM is komputerbay All the old ram is crucial Crucial worked fine I only mixed and matched to see if there was a particular problem going over a certain amount of RAM. The issues I'm having now are with all 4 sticks of Komputerbay

Hi Just upgraded from 16gb of RAM to 32gb On boot I get a disk error and then a hung bios loading screen, so I went into the bios and loaded failsafe defaults, still got a disk error Removed all 4 sticks of new ram and tried 2, they booted fine, then tried the other 2 and they are fine. Then...

Hi My PSU failed yesterday (6 year old Corsair CX500) Replaced with a higher tier CX550M today Initially when I turned the machine back on I got disk errors, and noticed that the keyboard wasnt working. It appeared that the SATA ports and USB were dead. I then tried the front USB ports and got...

Strangely the drivers on the CD did not work but the ones on the website did. Didn't think to check that. Cheers

Hi there, I have just rebuilt a PC and I am in the process of restoring backups, however, my portable USB3 drives are all only reading at 30MB/s (give or take 1MB they are all the same speed) previously when I backed them up from another machine they were WRITING at 60MB/s so should easily read...

Hi there I have a vast library of images which I need to sort through, a lot of the images are duplicates or resized versions of the original. I know google can search online for duplicate images with the "search via image" function, is there a desktop equivilent that will help me locate all...

Hi, This is a laptop (thinkpad) so its not used for proofing, because of that I haven't used a spyder (I do own one but its a bit OTT I just want reasonable colour and calibration across apps) What I do have is two separate ICC/ICM files somebody else created on the same model which both give...

Recommendations wise I would go for a seasonic s12-g450 or a xfx ts GOLD 550 if you can find it and want the higher wattage Remember high efficiency means less watts converted to heat and sound leading lower system noise. 750w at 75w will produce more heat that a similar quality 350w at 75w but...

It will do, you're running all those transformers out of spec making it harder to keep voltages stable. Just like asking for too much power it can do it but its not designed to do it well. Whether it would shorten its life beyond normal expectations I don't know, good PSUs don't go bad very...

Also if you're buying a new supply anyway, get a smaller one. That system under a normal load ie on the desktop or word etc won't draw much, probably 50-100W with a max tdp of about 250W which you won't ever hit unless you run some insane benchmarks or torture tests. Power supplies are desgined...
