I built my computer around 3 years ago, so it was about time to clean the insides anyway. I've tried spraying compressed air into the case (taking every basic precaution) which did fix the problem for a bit, but it ended up stopping again. My case is a Xion XON 310 BK, a cramped, ugly mess of...

My desktop had been working fine up for the last few years up until a few days ago when it started acting super strangely. The front IO power button had stopped turning the computer on. This was a problem that I experienced a few years back after I had first built the PC, and had no actual...

There is this weird smell possibly coming from my computer, it doesn't smell like something is burning. This is going to sound quite odd but it smells like bakery goods in an oven and I am not sure if its my computer or someone cooking in the apartment next to me. My cpu is 50c underload and my...

I need a GPU ASAP, so what I'm planning to do is buy the Vega 56 and then return it before navi gets launch. I saw that microcenter lets you return a GPU within 30 days if it is like-new conditions, and I get all my money back, is that true? I really need a graphic card right now, but I don't...
