Hello Forum, I was buying the parts for my first computer today and I was having trouble figuring out if my motherboard supports 4 8GB sticks of DDR3. I have placed the links in this post so could you please let me know if it will be okay? I went onto the memory compatibility page but it didn't...

Hey guys, so I've had my PC for a few months and it's worked fine until now. Last I recall, I was downloading a Morphbox trial and then my computer restarts. When my computer restarted, I was not able to play GTA5 and MKX but I could play smaller games like TF2, etc. Also, I was not able to...

I am building a System with I7 4790k and i am pretty confused between these motherboards. My budget for a motherboard is $310. could you also compare these plus Msi Krait Sli?

so the motherboard i purchased shows the RAM base speed as 1066/1333/1600...and then 1866(OC),2133(OC) and so on all the way to 3000+(OC)...now my question is, am i only limited to buying a 1600 MHz ram stick but i'll be unable to OC it any higher than 1600MHz? or if i buy the 1866MHz, will the...

Hi, I recently returned from vacation and found that my desktop will not boot past the American Megatrends BIOS post. Several attempts in a row it would not even display the post. But usually it gets to that screen and hangs until I either reset or enter the BIOS setup with F1. Occasionally it...

Hello again guys! a lot of confusion going on here. My friend can sell me sapphire R9 280x dual-x, which he used for about 2-3 weeks at a price of 66-70% of the original price. So, here my questions arises whether I should buy that one or go for new r9 280 as that is max I can afford now?

what $100-$200 z97 mobo should i get with pentium g3258 that doesn't need a bios update? I will upgrade the cpu later for an i5-4690.

I don't know exactly how to put this, but I'll do my best. One interesting thing I have noticed about my PC is that 64 bit software runs terribly of Windows 7. And ironically, my Win7 copy is 64 bit. Also, 32 bit software runs flawlessly. I have already made a test with 64 bit vs. 32 bit...

This is frustrating. I got tired of the noise caused by the stock heatsink for my fx 6300 and bought a Cooler Master Hyper TX3. I installed it, and the fan itself is nice and quiet, but the temps are nowhere near what I was expecting (under 60 c during load was my goal; the stock cooler was...
