Hello, I recently noticed that my monitor has developed a narrow dark area on the left side of the screen. It is very easy to miss when doing things like gaming, however it does appear more predominantly when displaying darker shades of grey. The warranty for the monitor still has 5 months...

Can you please tell me that why using a higher cache hard disk improves system performance ? And also why using a higher cache hard disk reduces system ram usage ?

Hey everybody! So I just bought this new monitor featuring a 1440p display with a refresh rate of 144hz. Like many monitors, it doesn't come out of the box with 144hz enabled. When I try to enable it through the display adapter properties menu however, the option doesn't even come up. I went...

So for a while now my computer freezes once a day only 1 time then when I restart it (Holding power button) it restarts fine and works fine for the rest of the time I use it. The issue is that the random freezing interrupts sometimes important things. I'm using a 500V power supply, AMD FX 6300...

So, i'm experiencing a bug. My headphone is an HyperX cloud 2 and i can hear and talk with it as usual, but on the RT audio hd manager, it just doesn't appear as i have connected it.

Not a big gamer, a friend introduced me to sims I thought it was cool, I luckily found this game online for only $6 so I was super happy to start installing it and start playing. That didn’t happen because the instructions say it should come up as dvd click and install but there is. I thing to...

Hey everyone, I recently set up my computer build and have been experiencing problems with my games crashing on me for example, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, or Player Unknown's Battle Grounds.

My computer just now started to turn off, then turn itself back on, and then as soon as it turns on within a second, it will turn off. Help??!

Hi, I'm getting really frustrated dealing with this issue, I recently upgraded from my old GTX 750 TI and old AMD processor, as for some time I had overheating issues with them & they were coming of age, causing the odd graphics driver crash, I can't remember too much, but before upgrading I...

I know it may seem like a stupid question but ive never been CPU savvy, I'm going to build a new pc sooner or later, i'm probably going to end up getting the i7-8700k. But for some reason this has always confused me, the CPU has a 3.7Ghz "base frequency", and a 4.7Ghz "max turbo frequency" does...

I have an MSI ARMOR RX 480 8gb. I decided to run some stress and benchmark tests, I ran unigine heaven about 3-4 times and it kept giving me a constant 82 fps with a score of 2100. I was happy, and i moved onto Unigine Superposition and tested it for 4k, and got a score of 3758. In both these...

Nothing more, nothing less. Just the question asked in the title. I'm aware that all of the Dell 7577 versions come with a SSD, but can you add another one?

I need to build a PC for editing, mainly with DaVinci Resolve, of 4K files, but I'm on a real tight budget. I selected these components: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mzL4xY Do you think I made a good choice? I can't spend any more than that, but maybe I can change some components and find...

Hi guys, so here's the problem, last night I forgot to close my window, which points directly at my pc. So rain fell and little droplets entered the case. Problem is little to no water touched the components (most of it was in the case fan) so I dried up my entire pc and left it to dry...

So, I installed a new CPU fan to my PC, it boots and has power going to the fans and leds, but my Razer keyboard/mouse wont light up, and the monitor it is currently plugged into have no signal. Any ideas?

So it all started with me leaving the computer on whilst I go to drive someone home. And then when I came I noticed the computer off. I pressed the power button and the computer turned on and off. Not even a second. At first I thought of replacing the PSU. No luck. So then I tried replacing the...

So the title Hue+ & Aer makes me think there would be the Hue+ with lights and the Aer fans. Apparently it's only the fans and controller. No lighting strips. Is that wrong?

I'm trying to figure out why a friend's pc won't turn on, and I'd like to do the paperclip test on the psu to see if the psu is faulty. My question is this. Do I have to unplug ALL connections from the PSU to the mobo and such, or do I only need to unplug the 24 pin connection to run the test? I...

It has 4gb of RAM 1TB of storage And is windows 10. It has a DVD drive so would I be able to play sims 4?

This hard drive is running slow from the day I bought it. The disk usage reaches 100% at 40mBps transfer speed. I get 15-22mBps when transferring data in the same drive and my computer lags to a limit where you just want to push the force restart button atleast once a day. A few days ago...

So... I'm running a supermicro server, in two raid 5s. One for OS and one for Data\VMs. The board is a X8DA3. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/QPI/5500/X8DA3.cfm I was using the Intel ICH10R SATA 3.0Gbps on board raid controller. However that model was old back in 2008 and has...

So my current GPU (Gtx 960) is failing and recently nabbed myself an Rx 570 on pre-order instead of buying a replacement 960. The Preorder price is amazingly cheaper than a 960 from looking at UK prices (£170), hence cashing out on that instead of a more appropriate graphics card for my CPU My...
