Hi all, I did an upgrade from 8.1 to 10 a few months ago and had issues so reverted back to 8.1. Now I want to clean install windows 10 to likely avoid those issues. I've learned from clean install tutorials that you should first upgrade to 10 so the machine recognizes that the computer is...

Hi all, I updated from 8.1 to 10 a few months ago but games randomly froze on me. I updated the video card drivers and it continued. I then reverted back to Windows 8.1 and have had zero freezes since. If I now update back to Windows 10 (the fast way, not a clean install), uninstall all games...

Are you using HDMI? The cable may be damaged. For my build, while gaming the screen would sometimes randomly turn blue and say "no hdmi signal detected". Replacing the HDMI cable fixed it.

Hi all, So I've got a GTX980 for my 144Hz monitor. I can certainly tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps, and believe I can tell the difference between 60 fps and 144 fps. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't have bought a 144Hz monitor. Some games like Starcraft 2 will run for me at...
