Health

Hey all! My hardrive on the rare occasion will make rather audible clicking sounds for just a few seconds when i boot up a game like The First Descandant but then stays quiet as I use it. The S.M.A.R.T status shows it as good but I wasn't sure if it was fine or if I should be worried. Here are...

It is just one of those random thoughts that hit me from time to time. I was wondering what are the actual damages that games can cause to us. I've been looking it up and found out that it's not as bad as it seems to be. In some articles, they even mentioned how good it could be for us to play...

Hi all, former console gamer here. I built a gaming PC with the help of a PC enthusiast buddy last week, and have been greatly enjoying it so far. I've been playing Fallout 4 at 60FPS and loving it. One of the problems with it though, is that the game's load times are somehow tied to its frame...
