I just checked inside my rig and it was quite dusty, especially around my intake fans. Having fully opened it, I realized I was out of air compressor and I wasn't able to go out and buy some, so I just used my lungs and blew away the thick layers that surrounded the fans and some areas of my...

Alright so I was having some overheating problems when playing games on m laptop. Even when I'd watch movies, the thing would get crazy hot. It'll often get hot enough within 20 minutes of playing a game to just shut down. It never did this when I got it, so I know it's not a problem with...

Hey guys, so I was curious about one thing in particular. When you're switching from AMD to nViDia for a upgrade it's obvious I should uninstall AMD drivers fully (from control panel) and then slap in the new card and install the nViDia drivers. However I'm curious if I should leave physX...

So I'm upgrading my motherboard, and re-installing windows. When I make the change, and boot it up, it will ask me to insert the windows 8 CD and enter the 25 digit key? I noticed on the windows 8 CD case it says "windows 8 ENG INTL for OEM software". I'm aware that OEM means I wouldn't be...

Hello, my first thread here. Ok, so I bought a new AMD PC for about 500 Euros a couple of months back and it's been driving me crazy ever since. The problem is with the system drive. I currently use Windows 8.1, but the same thing happens on Windows 7. Any file transfer to or within the system...

So when I'm actively using my computer my monitors do not turn off but when I leave it for what seems like one or two minutes they shut off. This should not happen since I have the sleep time set at 10 minutes. The computer doesn't even go into sleep mode, the monitors just turn off and a...

The post is a bit long, so I've separated the different concerns into bold text ("CPU, "GPU", etc), and if any of you would like to help with any of them, please do, it would be greatly appreciated!! BTW, I'm trying to stay within $1000 or so, but going over a bit isn't TOO bad. So for a while...

I have a question regarding an SSD I am about to install. I recently purchased the Kingston HyperX 3k 120GB SSD because a driver I installed on my current HDD is causing a black screen on start up, and I'm unable to access anything without booting with another HDD. I spent a fully day trying...

I'm at a loss. I have been having problems with my Radeon HD 5770 for the past few weeks (maybe longer, not sure when it actually started). At least, I'm pretty sure it's my GPU... It started with little things, like a multi colored 3 px tall stripe across my monitor, (with no driver crash) that...

I installed a game a while ago and it started giving me hassles. It's a game from 1998 so my computer wasn't accustomed to it I guess. The in-game colour was a little glitchy so I tried altering my overall resolution through Control Panel to 800 x 600. When that didn't work I set it back to...

PSU: 850 WATT MB: Asus P8Z68-V LE Processor: Intel Core I7 2600k @ 4.3GHz Turbo I know my CPU is more than enough to support it. I am more worried about the Motherboard or Powersupply. I know 850 WATT is enough as the recommended is 650 watts One site said this card...

Just installed a windows 8 on a new PC I built. I went to my device manager to check If the GPU is working, but it just says "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter". Windows won't recognize my card? How do I get it to recognize it correctly? Do I need to download the drivers for it? I have a HD 6970

I am building a new computer for a neighbor and have assembled it, however when trying to turn it on, it does not post. The hard drive, the case fan (not the CPU Fan), and power supply seem to all be working. What steps should I take when troubleshooting said motherboard?

So I'm try to shave down on my current build cost ($200 over budget) and I figured I'd change my current Samsung 840 EVO 250GB to 120GB. I was looking at the Kingston 240, but it looks like trash. I have a WD black 2TB for main storage, but I've always wanted to have a drive for OS/OS stuff...
