Hi everyone, I am having a strange issue with one of my new PC builds. The issue is that when I first boot my pc up in the evening to play some games, I notice my frame rate is pretty low compared to usual. However, once I do a quick restart the frame rates are fine (much higher). To give an...

So basically, I have an issue with this game that prevents it from starting. If I simply press play on Steam, the game appears to run but it doesn't even open and just stops to run. The weird thing is that I already modded the game with Frosty and the game only works if I launch it through the...

So after several years of pretty great gaming performance from what was originally a second-hand PC, it's time to start upgrading. I'd rather not have to buy a completely new rig (although not necessarily against it if that's what's required), so want to know the best place for me to start, and...

I am new to building computers and I don’t really know what I’m doing. The whole thing seems quite confusing. However I know a bit about specs as I had a gaming laptop which I’m replacing now with a desktop PC. I’m building it as I heard it is cheaper than buying a prebuilt and more reliable...

As the title says, I am always prompted with a User Account Control pop-up every time I open the game and I don't know how to exactly solve this since this wasn't the case before and I don't know what changed. I researched and found out that must be a registry error, but I don't exactly know...

Any experience with this? It's a HP Omen 16 C series laptop. It's about a year old (bought as brand new in 2022) and was working fine until yesterday. Suddenly shut off abruptly and would no longer switch on. Removed the battery and tried to check if it would work with just the plug plugged in...

Sub, I'm in the process of building a new PC primarily for streaming and gaming. Additionally, I plan to use some software features like a voice modifier for my streams and some other stuff. While I have my eyes on playing Cyberpunk 2077, it's not an absolute necessity. I've recently developed...

Hey all! I just bought myself a Legion 7i on a recent Best Buy sale for 800ish. I'm hoping to find a comparable laptop for my wife that she can use for work (nothing crazy just Google Analytics and video chats) and gaming at reasonable speeds (coop shooters, rpgs, etc) 1. What is your budget...

I like 3D souls-like games. However, I do not like how each and every one is dark and gritty with similar lore and aesthetics. Are there any bright, colorful and uplifting 3D souls-like games? Elden Ring and The Surge was close, but were still quite gritty and not all that uplifting. Also not...

I’ve decided to add an extra 16GB of RAM to my gaming PC as it would help with the games I play, though I’m not sure if I should get 2x16GB 3600MHz for £50 and sell my old RAM for around £30 or if I buy another 2x8GB set of 3200MHz vengeance RAM for £30 From the videos I’ve watched it seems...

A decade ago, it was possible to get constant 60 fps with max settings at the highest resolution available, 1080p, with the best gpu available.
