Hey everyone, So basically, the primary RAM slot on my mobo died. I have a single 8GB RAM stick. I shifted it to the second RAM slot and the PC was able to do POST. The BIOS showed a warning for "unsupported memory configuration" but I ignored it. The PC works fine now but will this cause any...

Hi! I've had this PC for over a year now, works quite well, but I had some issues with my SSD and had to replace it. Don't know if this is of any relevance but wanted to mention it. Also, the GPU tends to run on high temps, according to Speccy. I'm trying to play Witcher 3 and I'm finding I can...

Alright, so, i bought myself a WD Black 1TB HDD about a year ago. It was running perfectly fine, wasn't noisy and everything was loading much quicker than my previous HDD. However, about 2 months ago, it suddenly started to read and write slower. Whenever i'm opening Windows Explorer or...
