I bought a Vega 64 a few months back and have been having issues from the beginning. The gpu clock and memory clock randomly drop to around 500 mhz and wont go up anymore while gaming and it happens randomly and results in me having to restart the game. It's making me think if I should RMA the...

I bought a new CPU for my budget PC (i3-6100 CPU). I get micro stutters in like every 2-3 minutes and they can be really annoying after a while. Before this I had a worse CPU. Is the problem probably on the CPU power connector? Is 4 pins not enough for this CPU? I connected 4 pins in my MOBO's 8...

Ok I have been getting huge cpu usage which by the looks is tied to my mouse cursor. My cpu usage used to be very low now a minimum of 34% :( and when the cursor moves it can go right up to 100%. I have tested each component on a different mobo and cpu setup ive also tested my ram with the...

So i bought this computer with the information that it should be able to run csgo smooth. i have a 144 hz monitor as well, but im only having around 100-120 fps with alot of fps drops and laggy tendencies, this takes the smoothness away and therefore the actual joy of playing. I really want...

Posting a screenshot below of GTAV (single player) with RTSS, I'm not sure what is bottlenecking my GPU, as my CPU is at 50-60%, I understand 120fps is nothing to complain about regardless, however it does it too on some other games, and im not sure what the issue is. Also I have no V-sync or...

Hi. I recently built my PC and I've been having issues with my hardware disconnecting from my PC while I'm gaming. When I start playing every few minutes the screen flashes to black for about a second. After about an hour, the monitor loses connection with my PC, as does my keyboard and mouse...

I am planning a new build and already have some parts, now I have to figure out my storage set up. I'm new to this Intel Optane memory accelerator concept. The way I understand, it is a way to get faster load speeds on your HDDs? At first, I was disappointed because I read Optane could only be...

I'm going to be upgrading my PC from a i5-6500 & ASRock Z170 Gaming ITX, to an i5-9600K & Asus Strix Z390 itx. All other components will be the same. Can I just plop that in my case and connect everything, and windows will still work just fine? Or will I need to wipe my OS hard drive and...

Hi folks, I know there's been several threads on the similar topic, but I didn't find a solution that works for me, so I have to ask for a help. I've got Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3R motherboard. After the BIOS upgrade (Award F8) my Raid has gone missing. That would be all right, if I would still have...

Hello, I'm wondering how RAM timings are determined from commonly known values like tCL, tRCD, tRP, and tRAS, to uncommon values like tRFC and tREF. Are these values determined by what the RAM tells a PC, or does the motherboard determine these values through POST? The reason why I ask is...

Just some questions.... I know the Sata 2 is the downgraded and the Sata 3 is the upgraded. Is the Sata 3 cable the same as Esata cable? Are there any fake Sata 3 out there? I'm asking because I can't seem to tell the difference between the Sata 2 & Sata 3? One source says it must have "Sata...

I've had a Toshiba Satellite A665D-S6075 for five to six years and was very, very happy with it. My favorite parts about it were the excellent harman/kardon speakers and the comfortably bulky build. When it started to malfunction about six months ago, I bought a L55-C5340 and hated it. It was...
