I built a new gaming computer a few weeks ago and have had very little issues with it. The first time I had issues was when I stupidly tried changing the RAMs voltage in the BIOS to a level that I thought they could handle but they failed. I rest the CMOS and my computer had very little issues...

so I am building a new pc and the last thing on the list is a GPU, I ripped an old one from an old crappy hp that I rarely use just to get the new computer ready with windows and other stuff, this old GPU is only temporary until I get something better. I plugged it into my new gaming pc and I...

So recently I bought a new PC from someone and it ran really great and the specs are amazing (posted below) the only downfall to me is that it didn't have enough storage and only had a ssd that was a 128gb SSD and Im a person that loves to have games on their PC so I took it to this computer...

So I’m in a little sticky situation. I decided it was time to change the thermal paste on my PC, so I did just that. I had a lot of issues taking off the seat sink that all the bolts including the backplate came off, no biggie. I proceeded to clean up everything and replace the thermal paste as...

Hi guys, I’m new to the forum but usually when I have computer issues, you guys usually have answers, unfortunately after hours of online searching trying to find a fix, nothing has worked that I’ve found that had worked for anyone else! Simply put, my bios overclocks will not apply at all...

So this is also based off my issue here, I decided to check on my cpu and see if anything was wrong with it. I checked the cpu, it was fine. The socket, however, looked like the pins bent gently towards one side in a circular motion. I'm pretty sure this happened due to time and not suddenly as...

For the longest time my family has been with Bell Canada, (I live in the Greater Toronto Area). Recently, in order to cut down on bills we decided to get rid of our cable subscription since we mainly use the apple tv nowadays in order to watch shows/movies. We also unsubscribed from our phone...

Which card should I get? The 280x seems to do better than the 380 in most benchmarks and the 380x seems to match the 280x in most benchmarks. I would go with the R9 280x for 200$, but I'm worried that the extra 1gb of Vram on the 380x could make a massive difference in the future. Any thoughts...

Hello, I have had two BSOD's today, whilst playing games. I thought it might be a driver problem, so I updated all my Graphics drivers and did all my Windows Updates. About 2 hours later, another blue screen, while playing Borderlands the Pre Sequel. I saw on another forum that it may be my...

VPN question for a student: For a project a classmate and I are doing we have two businesses connected by a LAN-to-LAN VPN. Can the server with the VPN Server software on it be used for other services too, or is it preferable-or necessary-to have a separate server attached to a switch along with...

I play games at 140 fps. Specifically, League of Legends, maximum graphics. When I hit record on Dxtory, 1080p, it records 15 fps even though I'm still playing on 140. If I drop it to 720p, I can hit 30 frames recording. Why is this? I have an AMD R9 270x and an i7 3.4 GHz processor. I've seen...
