When playing games, like PUBG or Terra Tech, one of my PCs will have its audio carry on while the monitors black out. I was playing last night on Discord when it happened, I got a Windows 10 notification which is presumably telling me my monitors have been disconnected, but everything else seems...

I have a custom build PC with: Core i5-3470 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti (ASUS DirectCU II OC) 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 500W PSU It was fine, but one day it hard powered off, as if the PSU was unplugged. The case was noticeably hotter than normal so I rebooted and installed OpenHardwareMonitor. The CPU...

Yes I do understand, but I also have a Core 2 Duo E8400 paired with a GTX650 1GB which runs it better. It was sold as a gaming laptop - it feels wrong to pair a CPU with a comparably strong GPU

I have a Medion Erazer P6661 with: Intel Core i5-6200U NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 128GB SSD 1TB HDD I get around 30-40fps in a game like CS:GO, which is pretty bad. I have a same spec laptop but with an i7-4720HQ and that gets around 150-200fps, so what's going on? -I've tried...

Hi, I recently built a new rig for a friend and they are reporting that their temperatures are very high. They have OpenHardwareMonitor and they sent me this screenshot (attached) Please could someone advise me on what to do, as originally I assumed the CPU was too powerful for the cooling...

YEah I've had to remove the Windows partition, get BootCamp back, and will manually reinstall everything. Just a pity that Mac OS and Windows don't share a filesystem and partition type!

Hi, I have an iMac which I have a Win7 Home Premium partition through BootCamp on. I decided to upgrade to a 1TB SSD and am having issues getting my old windows installation to the new SSD. I have successfully partitioned the 1TB SSD into a 800GB Mac patition and a 200GB Windows partition. If...

Apologies for a double post but I think it's worth it. The i3-540 was a mere 1 pound 50 pence, so I'm not too upset if I have to shelf it so soon. I have looked around and found another outdated videio though with someone using an i5 750, which is a true quad core...

Hi, My (other) friend is trying to get out of using Core 2 Quads and I have an i3-540 that I picked up for next to nothing. I don't have a motherboard for socket LGA1156 but my friend already has a GTX 960. My question is: Will an i3-540 and GTX 960 (2GB) run games like CS:GO well? (100ish fps...

I have a mate who I built a PC for and it's been used for gaming and is running well, but the CPU is limiting the GPU, so I have decided to find him a new CPU/Mobo combo. Currently, he has Intel Core2 Quad Q9300 @ 2.5GHz 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 Mini I have...
