I am looking to buy an nvme ssd for my Gyagbyte p75-d3 motherboard and an adapter to go along with it(the mother doesn't have m. 2 native support). Will this setup work?

So, i've bumped into some problems while trying to boot and after some tests i've found out that my motherboard have 2 faulty adjacent ram sockets (i can boot with one ram at a time on the working sockets normally). I've read that the sticks are supposed to be used on the same channel, but can i...

Hi all! This is the best forum I've found for answers to my tech questions! I have an Arris CM820 that is rated for 300 mbps. When hooked up to my 150 mbps connection I don't even reach 100 most of the time. The tech says that I need a new modem. It is a DOCSIS 3.0. He said that I need a...

I finally got all the parts for this build about a month ago. When I put it all together it initially wouldn't post. I troubleshooted a lot and ruled out issues with the cpu, gpu, and ssd. I borrowed some memory from my brother that we know works, and it finally posted and booted. I installed...

hello, I am going to keep this short and simple, I need to know which CPU would pair best with my Gigabyte AORUS Radeon RX 580 8GB Graphic Card for GAMING. The two CPU's are the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Processor and the Intel Core i5-8600K. I do know that the AMD ryzen would be better with video...

What ram is good and compatible with these components? thanks

I need to turn my Vizio Smart tv on from away from home. I don't have a DVR anymore, but would like to watch the Bears game about an hour or 2 after it starts. I can handle the channel changes thru my xfinity remote app, but that doesn't turn on the tv. It doesn't look like the vizio remote...

So ive recently bought new parts for my pc, and I wanted to test them with some old parts before everything comes in to make sure everything works. I found out the SSD doesn't want to boot past the splash screen, but it boots just fine onto my laptop, its a 1TB mx500, I have an extra SSD that I...

What should I buy a GTX 1080 or Vega 64. Both models I would buy are about the same price the Vega 64 at $500 and the 1080 at $450. This is a tough decision because I have a free sync monitor and the Vega comes with a game bundle; however the GTX 1080 seems to be the better overall card. If I...

Hey guys! Should I wait to GTX 2000's (or 1100's series) series or but the current top GPUs? and which GPU should I pick for 2.1Ghz overclocking? comment you thoughts! I really can't decide what do buy?

My PC has been restarting after playing games for pretty short periods of time (for example I was playing CS;GO earlier today to test the new weapon and it lasted for about 10 minutes but when I tried to play Overwatch it lasted for about 7 minutes) all my hardware is new, except for my PSU...

After upgrading the pc I tried to install 64 bit drivers and then realized I couldn't. I would like to know if it requires a fresh installation.

The title says it all. I've got an AMD R9 280. I've been considering upgrading and prices are starting to drop. Should I go ahead and upgrade to a 1070 or 1080 ($470) or should I wait for the supposed announcement of the 1180 on 08/20 and hope for a price drop then?

I'm building a new system under the guidance of your fine resource but I've come to a screeching halt. After I got everything installed into the case I fired it up to check the bios but I can't get a signal through to the monitor. This is the page where I list the components that you suggested...

Hi all, currently I'm running an FX-6300 with an HD7790OC 2Gb. If I upgraded to an RX-560 4Gb, will that be useful, or will my CPU bottleneck it? Oh, and I also have 12Gb DDR3 1600 RAM, on Win7 Pro 64-bit.

Ok, so I'll be building a PC for university and because my budget is tight I want to go for one of the Ryzen APUs and MAYBE get a dedicated GPU later on (provided I get the money of course). But I've been looking around and X470 boards seem to be the only ones which will definitely work with...

After I switched my PSU to a RM550x and having to take out the card to do it my GPU has been setting 2 of the 3 fans to a 100% and the last one is just off. I turn on the PC after everything is in I run Heaven for a couple of minutes and everything seems fine. Then I don't quite remember what I...

Hi, I want to build a new PC since years. I have some money now but I'm still tight. So my plan is to buy a Ryzen APU, to be able to play some games while saving for a GPU, and then maybe upgrade the CPU to a better Ryzen, maybe 3rd or 4th gen. (I'll have to buy more things later on)...

I'm not experienced with PSU connectors, so I don't know...

So I cleaned out all the dust from my gpu which is a GTX 970. But when I put the card back in and went to load up windows the car started spinning super fast so I was going to go into windows and see what was up. But my PC will do starting windows (I'm on 7 pro) and the entire thing will reset...

I am looking to replace my dead gtx 670. I read that based on GPU hierarchy (toms hardware), the equivalent of a 670 would be a 1050ti. Would this be a good choice or is a 1050 enough and not much of a difference. Note, I don't game as much anymore (besides maybe rocket league which is not...

I've been having some freezing issues with my PC lately so I've ran a RAM test and now I've gotten to the HDD. It's never shown to have any issues in programs like Hard Disk Sentinel but I figured it was better to be safe than sorry. It's now been about 12 hours since I started, and I'm not sure...
