My current issue is that I have a PC that I built, and am extremely proud of, that just is not performing how I want it to. Whether I am playing games or typing out this post, it freezes up for 10-30 seconds at random. I really wish I could provide more information as to what causes the freezes...

Hello, would it be possible to uninstall windows 10 and go to windows XP? The reason why I ask this question is because for a business we are required to run XP OS for a $4,500 software called Cepheid Software. This software requires only windows XP to operate, or that is what I was told. My...

I bought the Silicon Power 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD for my gaming laptop to have a quick boot time and I did a clean install of Windows 10 as well. When installed all my drivers and everything, I started encounter the stutter when watching a video. The audio would do a quick distort and occurs while...

This is a new problem. I was playing arma fine for hundreds of hours and now I get random CPU drops causing giant stutters. It's not thermal throttling as I've checked all my temps and they run at 40c while gaming. I have also went into my bios to make sure nothing is being throttled there. I'm...

Hello. I bought a prebuilt PC a while ago. I have always had issues with microphones that stop working seemingly out of nowhere. They still show up in control panel and sound but they seem to give off a constant light noise. I also have to uninstall and reinstall my realtek audio drivers for my...

Hello, For the last two weeks I've encountered a problem (its increased in frequency today) with my pc freezing randomly while doing anything. The cursor stops moving and I notice that the caps lock key doesn't light up/turn off when i press it. The screen also becomes unresponsive, but the pc...

Hi there, hoping for some help on this issue. I’m pulling my hair out! My PC keeps freezing (hanging?) then crashing to blank screen (no BSOD or other error messages shown), and then restarting. I have repeatedly checked BlueScreenViewer and there are no .dmp files - I opened up the folder...

Hello Recently my pc started stutter in games and causing a blue death screen sometimes when I would power my pc on. I've tried so many things but the only thing I can come up with is a hardware issue. I did run a user benchmark test and it showed my CPU (i5 84000, GPU (GTX 1060), and Ram (16 GB...

My issue has been plauging my PC for a long while now. During games my PC graphics drivers stop responding and the game crashes to a grey screen while audio still plays in the background. During fullscreen the game crashes and I need to restart the PC, on windowed games it takes me back to the...

My friend usually handles this stuff for me, but he told me he doesn't even know. I hope this is the right section to ask this. He built my pc for me, this is my first pc and I have had some upgrades for gaming but now I am getting random lag spikes that should not be happening. Here is what I...

I have bought a used XFX RX 580 GTS 8GB from a seller, since I put it on the PC and start it, the fans work 100% making a lot of noise. Even after installing the latest recommended AMD Adrenalin drivers (20.2.2), fans are still at 100%. Nor have I been able to change anything with the MSI...

I hadn't used my pc in maybe 3 months, then when I tried to start it up today the pc would turn on (fans and lights running) but within around 10 seconds it would shut down and restart. This process continues infinitely. My tv wont pick up a signal in time to see the bios or startup. I have...

I recently bought an Acer Aspire 5 series laptop but have been encountering some strange battery issue. Although the battery is reducing at a fine speed, but the battery remaining time indicator is kind of a joke. It goes from 5 hrs to 1 hr 40 min and back to 3h 35 min in a second when i change...

I've googled several times and phrased myself differently each time but all that is showed is page after page about gaming, what refresh rate is and it's correlation to fps. I'm curious about which part in/of a monitor controls what refresh rate it can output on screen. I'm thinking it is the...

So I was playing CSGO and there was a powercut in my area and when the power came back and I booted my PC and my monitor showed a black screen for about a minute and then it booted up. I even tried to reboot my PC and everytime this only seems to happen. I have a pretty decent build . My build...
