...Okay it's not actually a brick. The power button LED does blink so I think it might make a good nightlight. ;) My 10 year old computer has been increasingly unstable so I figured it's time for an upgrade. I like small and quiet so I went with this intel NUC 14 Pro Kit with 64GB RAM and a 2TB...

I have tried my best to understand what is causing my pc to crash when I game. My GPU and CPU both weren't overheating. So i was confused as to what was causing the problem. The first suspect was my PSU. As it was still under warranty, I went ahead and got it replaced. Still my issue persisted...

Lenovo IdeaPad has been great however as it reaches the end of it's life it runs slow. Is there anything else we need to do to maintain these wonderful machines apart from updates, virus and malware security patches, general file clean ups and imaging, to save them from crashing?

Hello all, About nine years ago, I built a server for my small business using an ASRock C226 WS+. A few years ago, my parents inherited the server. Today, the electricity company shut off their electricity for a couple of hours while switching lines from an old telephone post to a new one. When...

Built my first pc in a long time. The system booted fine until I changed my ram speed by applying DOCP to get advertised ram speeds... They are on 2132mhz by default and should be 3600mhz. I left everything else on auto and haven’t overclocked any other component. I ran memtest86 on the default...

A while ago my computer's aux SSD failed and was causing boot errors. The computer wouldn't boot with it, so when I unplugged it and ran the other drives, windows started perfectly.

This is an odd situation that crosses topics (storage, motherboards, general strangeness) and I'd appreciate some ideas. Yesterday I fitted a new SSD (primary drive) to my desktop - it's a Samsung 860 EVO. I swapped out the old SSD and used the same SATA and drive power cable. Initially things...

I was gifted a unfinished project. It’s a cooler master rc 830 case with a P8P67 Pro board. One of the ram slots has a busted clip and the CPU led is red. The processor doesn’t get hot at all with or without fan connected. I have a graphics card that I know works connected. No video at...

SO finally after 2 years I decided it was a good time to add a SSD to my rig. For a task that seems so simple it has caused me such a headache. I still am struggling to decide which cloning software to use but right now I am trying to Acronis True Image WD edition which I found purely from the...
