So I had an expert put RAM in my PC (because I didn't want to screw it up), and after going back home and started to use my PC, the CPU usage went from ~11% to ~50%. Do you think it's related to the RAM that was added? (Also, when I open any applications along with Chrome, the program crashes...

Being away from the computer building since forever. I've been very happy with my current build with a i5-3570K and a HD7580 but no doubt it is getting really old now, when it comes to GPU power for gaming. I've been restratining myself for quite a while to go out and upgrade the current build...

Hello! Quite recently I bought an ultra wide monitor for my PC. It's actually the very first monitor I have that is connected through Display Port. Every time I stop using the computer, I also turn the display completely off, because I don't like the flashing power led when it's on stand by. I...
