Hi everyone! I'm by no means a computer expert, so here I am asking your help. My laptop was running pretty slow, not fluid, so I tried formatting it (following the Step-by-Step option in "Settings"). It got better, but STILL feels like a fresh clean Win10 laptop should run better. It's a...

I have the latest version of Photoshop (20.0.4) and some time last week it started behaving very weirdly. It refuses to open files, it refuses to save files, and it refuses to create files. If photoshop is not open and I locate a Photoshop Document, it opens that way but then I run into the...

I have two displays, one connected by HDMI and one by DVI. Normally they are plugged into the graphics card. For some reason when I power up normally, I have to unplug/plug in my HDMI monitor for it to recognize, but it always happens and I don’t think it’s related to the issue. Neither screen...

For a gaming pc, which size of the motherboard should i go with ATX , Micro ATX, Mini ATX? Does it really matter which size i go for? Is an ATX motherboard an overkill since i am gonna use a single gpu or at the most two while the ATX motherboard provides multiple PCI-E slots?

I got a good deal on a 1440p 144Hz Monitor, so I was thinking of upgrading my graphics card to get better FPS (aiming for 120-144). Now I am concerned that my Ryzen 5 1600 will bottleneck the RTX 2080 at 1440p 144Hz and prevent me from reaching my FPS goals. Currently I have a GTX 1070 and I...
