Yes. Windows 10, 1903. I'm on the most recent BIOS for my motherboard (7A59v1A, which was released July 2018). This is the highest wattage PSU I have handy. But 550W should be plenty, no?

I recently upgraded my GPU from a 1060 6GB to a 2060 Super, and ever since upgrading I've been having an issue with frametime spikes. I first noticed it in Destiny 2, which only seems to start after I've played for about an hour or so. At that point, the game would appear to freeze for a second...

Writing this for my coworker. He just built his first PC and it's stuck in a boot loop. He says it'll turn on for 15 seconds, turns off for 3 seconds and then restarts. It won't go into BIOS, show anything on the monitor or let him do anything. Fans and lights turn on for the few seconds the PC...

I recently purchased a 4K TV that I have my PS4 Pro hooked up to. However, I also have a PC across the room as part of a setup with a desk, speakers, dual monitors (1080p) and headphones. What I'd like to do is hook the PC up to the TV to see how well it could play and display games in 4K (as...

Looks like my hardware is A-OK. Had to clean my HDD and partition it to GPT, but I was able to boot into Windows. Would it be easier to install Linux now that I have Windows up and running, or is a clean install better?

I definitely did what you described in the first paragraph. I did get to a desktop screen with three icons in the top left corner. I double-clicked the disc icon and went through the steps (name, password, location, identifying the keyboard, etc.). After I did all that it gave me a prompt to...

I'm new to this. I'm trying to use my old PC (which I previously took apart) to boot Linux, mostly because I want to learn out of curiosity. However, every time I try to do so I end up getting error messages, mostly notably I get a Recovery error screen (looks like a Windows screen) that says...

Greetings. I'm tempted to upgrade my PC's case (it's my first build), and would just like some thoughts on whether it'd be a worthwhile move. My current build is this, with 6 case fans. PCPartPicker Link There are a few reasons I'm interested in getting a new case. One of the simple and lesser...

With how Ryzen seems to be shaking up the market, what kind of longevity can we expect from CPUs like the Core i5's (quad core without hyperthreading)? Is a big push for 6c/12t CPUs to run games at solid settings (60+ FPS at high graphics) within the next 2-3 years realistic, or will the...

Is it common to get a higher core clock when you cap the framerate? I was playing Doom and without capping the framerate, my GPU core clock was at an almost constant 2000. However, after capping the framerate to 100 (I was trying to improve frame time) the core clock became a constant 2050.

Floridian here, my house recently had its A/C unit break, and it's going to be a couple or so days until we either have it fixed or replaced. Now my concern regarding my PC isn't the heat so much as it is the humidity, which is truly insufferable here. Because of that, I'm concerned about the...
