Hi, I have MSI GTX 970 4G. The video card was working fine until a few weeks back. I was playing the witcher 3 and the suddenly the screen just went off saying that there was no input to the monitor. I restarted the computer and started the game again, and the problem started right after the...

I'm stuck. Their are two types of M.2. Sata and PCIe. Does that mean that PCIe connects via PCIe 1x slot or the M.2 slot provided on the mobo. I'm trying to decide to go with sata or pcie m.2 for the MSI Gaming M5. I'm looking at 120gb mass of storage.

I saw some benchmarks of the GTX 1080 at 1440p, and they seemed very promising. However, some of the most demanding/poorly optimized games will get under 60fps average on 1440p. I was thinking about 1080p to completely future proof my build. What resolution should I get? Another question, if I...

I was wondering if anyone knows how Red LED fans look on the front part of a Noctis 450 case. Should I buy fans with LEDs or keep them the way they are?

My pc at random times will have one screen go black and my main monitor goes either staticy or just plain pink. This has only been happening for 2 days ive monitored my computer temp and GPU load and nothing extreme is happening when this occurs. I have tried updating graphics drivers and even...

So... Yesterday i left my computer turned on in economy mode (Energy/Power saving mode). This morning i restarted my computer with Normal Settings, but i saw that everything was loading very slow, lag spikes and other things. When i'm playing games some of them crash (yesterday they didn't...

I've snooped around for answers to this problem but they were usually aimed at specific PC parts, but personally I don't know what causes this. The problem is that my monitor (and sound via speakers) loses connection with the PC but the PC remains running. The gfx card's fans still spin...

Alright so my laptop has been having this persistent problem where the computer will turn on and freeze up in the first minute or two of use. When it freezes, the image on the display becomes distorted and requires a hard reboot to fix the issue. This can happen a few times before it stays on...

I presently have a DSL internet provider and need a new modem. I would like to buy one so that I don't have to pay for fees. However, I can see myself switching to cable in the next year, so I was wondering if there is a dual function modem that I could buy, rather than having to buy another...

So I believe that my Hard Drive is failing. My computer crashed the other day and windows would not start whenever I turn it on. It would originally let me try and go to a restore point or do an automatic repair, and then said I need to boot windows using a cd or a media device. But now, I am...

Hey guys, I got mine GTX 970 today and I'm pretty stoked with it's performance so far. I was told more than once and it was labeled on the box that the fans will not kick in until the temperature rises around 60+ C. Which I guess I'm okay with but also worried because while IDLE my card sits...

I just built my first custom pc, and I have a bootable flash drive with Windows 10 on it. The only problem is I don't know which usb option I should use to boot the flash drive. In the bios it says Usb-fdd, Usb-zip, Usb-CD-ROM, and usb-hdd. Every time I try to boot from usb-hdd I get the "disk...

Problem: I had been getting very slow response times on the most of trivial of tasks like refreshing the desktop or opening my computers and a huge delay in starting windows (WIndows 7 x64 ultimate sp1 ) . (Once while starting my pc, i got a "chkdsk", and it produced a no. of "retreiving...

I have an ASRock M3A760GMH motherboard. I wanted to update my BIOS but I can't find the update. I looked on the ASRock site but it's like the motherboard never existed. What should I do?

I have just bought my new graphics card yesterday, I slot it in, installed the Nvidia drivers, restarted my computer, and took it for a test spin. Only to have my computer freeze mid loading screen in Fallout 4. I hard shut down my computer, and tried again thinking it was a driver issue or...

I have a pair of GTX 980 Ti FTW that make it difficult to attach the reference cooler to the board. I can easily attach the block from the Hybrid Kit to the GPU, but it leaves just the mid plate for cooling the rest of the components on the PCB. Will the plate be enough to keep the rest of the...

Good morning Tom's Hardware. I am having some issues with my work laptop. For reasons unbeknownst to me it seems that more and more often I am losing what I have worked on. It is a 2002 custom build Dell laptop that I use nearly every day. As much as I would love to simply buy a new laptop, I...

I messed up a little when mounting the motherboard on the standoffs. It works but I used different screws like the one you would use to hold the gpu in place for the mobo should I remove them and add the right one. When you try to remove it the standoffs unscrew too. If I am to use a nut or...

Hi TH' readers, Yesterday I bought myself a 750 Ti 2GB as an upgrade from my old HD 5670 512MB. Both cards draw the same power from the PCI slot so it's a great upgrade for a low-power mid-range card. My concern is that the graphics performance may be bottleneck by my old Athlon X3 450. So I...

Ok so I have a really nice dedicated sound card for my computer. the ASUS XOBAR Phoebus solo. I am currently using the Razer Tiamat 7.1 on this card. The issue I am running into is regardless of how I alter the eq or the levels the 7.1 mode on my headset sounds rather dry in comparison to the...

I bought a cable to extend the length of my headphone cables so I don't have to plug it into the monitor. I plugged it into the audio jack on the front of the computer and hear some static/buzzing when in games I tried plugging my headphones directly into the audio jack still buzzing so the...

Hello folks, I've been waiting for months to upgrade my gpu, mainly because of the new AMD cards. Now that they are all out, I need to make up my mind and do that friggin upgrade. I currently have an Haswell i7 based system with a Sapphire Radeon 7870 OC edition. I also have a pretty decent...

Hello community, I have a basic digital TV antenna and I believe that it does not give me max reception for my area. I am interesting in knowing whether or not signal amplifiers/boosters really are effective or is it just a waste of money? Also if you believe they do help, which ones are the...

I have amazon prime and want to buy the EVGA Supernova 650 G2. It has a prime option but says, "Usually ships within 1 to 2 months". What does this mean? Is that just for non-prime members? Would I still get it in two days? Thanks.
