My son has almost run out of space on the HDD, so we figured if we were to need to install a new motherboard this would be a good time to do it all. And the 2nd HDD is just to install games on. It turns out we do not need to replace the motherboard. We were able to get both memory sticks to work...

After a lot of problems after installing a new CPU and the A channels not recognizing the memory sticks anymore, even after Bios updating, I decided to stick both 8gb sticks in the 2 B channel slots. Now Windows is recognizing 16gb. Is it ok to have them both in the B section? Otherwise my only...

Had problems when I installed a newer cpu with messing up the A channel memory slots, so I am installing a new motherboard. I want to add an additional 2TB HDD, but I am wondering is it better and/or easier to use an external usb HDD with it's own power supply or installing an internal HDD. What...

I uninstalled all drivers for all sound devices. Shut down the computer. They reinstalled when I restarted the computer and everything works like it should now. Thanks for all the help. This has been stressful.

OK, something went wrong after I gave it to my daughter! The monitor's built in speakers work fine and the headphones work fine. When I unplugged the headphones the monitor speakers would begin working, when I plugged in the headphones something pops up and I click on headphones and they begin...

I bought my teen daughter a new computer. The monitor has built in speakers and they work fine and the headphones work fine. When I unplugged the headphones the monitor speakers would begin working, when I plugged in the headphones something pops up and I click on headphones and they begin to...

Thank you again. When I pulled out the headphones the speakers automatically played, but when I stuck the headphones in I had to go to the sound screen and choose headphones.

That worked, thank you! Now a new problem. How do I switch between the monitor speakers and headphones without unplugging the hdmi and plugging in the serial cable. I thought it was set if I plug in the headphones in the front of the computer that it would override what is plugged in the back...

We bought 2 AOC e2752vh monitors. We can't seem to get the built in speakers to work. We turn the volume up but no sound. There is nothing in the manual other than showing where the volume button is. The monitors are plugged into the video cards and all else works fine. My kids use headphones...

I upgraded my i5-4670K with an i7-4790K. When I installed the i7 it killed my channel A memory sockets. Researching this I saw it has happened to other people. Now I will have to buy a new motherboard because I need at least 16gb ram. What would cause this to happen? My setup: Asrock Z87...

I am getting a SSD to store Steam games on. It will take up almost all of the SSD. Should I also put Windows on it if there is enough room or keep it on the HDD? I am looking for faster load times for gaming. If I should move Windows to it, how? My setup: Asus Z97-A motherboard Intel Core...

While asking questions on another site about my computer I had several people tell me to buy a new power supply because the one I have is really lethal and my computer will catch on fire. Others told me it was fine. Now I am nervous and I need opinions, I really don't have the money to replace...

My son wants a 1TB SSD added to his computer. I seem to make bad choices on things I am unfamiliar with. So can anyone suggest a 1TB SSD that is on the less expensive side? And any I should stay away from. I was hoping for no more than $350 +-. I saw some of the cheapest two were Transcend and...

I have to replace my motherboard and several people suggested Asus. I had an Asrock Z87 Extreme 4 before and the Ram sockets in channel A went bad. My son uses it for extensive gaming and making games. My budget is about $175 +-. Any suggestions would be very appreciated. I was looking at...
