I've been researching a bit on a new video card since my last 7970 died on me. budget is 300-400, and I'm deciding between gtx 970 and the r9 390. I'm leaning towards the GTX 970 primarily because of power consumption because when I had my 7970 and playing all day, my bills are just way too...

As the title says. Nothing opens. I get the load icon, it enters the processes, but the program doesn't open :/ Think the universe is trying to say I should never own a computer, they never seem to work right for me or the hardware breaks really fast. This is what my screen looks like...

Hello there, A week ago my HD 7870 broke down - produced some artifacts and crashed the PC afterwards. It couldn't even boot to desktop after that, so I decided to bake the card. After baking (190 celcius degrees for 9 minutes) I put the card back together with new thermal paste and it booted...

Hi, I am looking to buy a 2 new 1080p screens in addition to the one I have, but I've heard that not all games support it, is this true?

If we look closely the GPU usage at this particular area is just around 65-75% only, resulting 33 fps . The CPU...

So I have a laptop dual-booting Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04, and my Ubuntu partition ran out of space. I shrank the only partition I could to make more room for Ubuntu, but the unallocated space came before the partition and I couldn't extend into it. I tried switching the partition and...

I have just built a new PC and while it was installing windows I left the room. I came back after 5 minutes to see that my computer was off and I could not turn it back on. I noticed that none of the motherboard LEDs were on. I think its probably the motherboard or the psu but I'm not sure. My...

Hello everyone. Weird problem: I recently built a computer (finally) but as my old computer worked not that good, I didn't want to burn the Windows 7 disk from it.

I heard that when using compressed air to blow out your computer you can fry the motherboard by spinning a fan the wrong way. In theory this would turn the fan into a generator shooting voltage back into my mobo. May be a stupid question but better safe than sorry. Thanks

So since it's coming up to Christmas I've decided I want to upgrade my PC. I have around £600 to spend but I can go over a bit. What's the best value of money? What gives the best performance? etc. One thing that is very important is the amount of noise it makes. My build is already quiet loud...
