Hi all. So I'm in a bit of a trouble here. My PC won't boot up - it's stuck between powering on and then off (all within a second) - and it keeps doing this until I turn off the PSU on the back. Sometimes I can get my PC to power on and use it like I normally would, play games, watch movies...

my computer has a board Asustek Z10PE-D16, how can I force it to stay always on? and never stay powered off? It happens that my users (Windows Server 2022) sometimes shut it down, and then I need to drive an hour to turn it back on I wonder if there is a jumper that makes it always start?

At first I...

I see plenty of discussions on Tom's reviews about the power efficiency of various GPUs. That's a good topic, but for my system 99 hours out of 100 or more it's actually just browsing the web or 2D architecture or maybe in TurboTax. On Windows. Where can I go to see how the cards perform in...

Good afternoon, I'm new to PC building and have opted for a simple 5 fan configuration powered from my power supply via 4 pin molex to pull hot air away from my heatsinks. I have ordered a on/off switch so I can turn three of the fans off when I am not gaming to save power and cause less noise...
