So the system I built for my friend has the strangest issue and I need help figuring out what is wrong with it. After everything is plugged in and powered on I hit the power button to start it up and the cpu fan makes a brief high pitched squeak and then nothing happens. No movement, nothing...

I came home and plugged in the power outlet. My PC is connected to this outlet. Once I plugged it in I heard a "hizz" noise from my PC, not a pop, not a buzz, imagine a hizz you get when you open a cola bottle. Just one not so loud but not too quiet "hizz". I booted the PC and it runs just fine...

Best reader, I have recently swaped out my gtx 970 for a 2070 super. It performs (most of the time) really well but I have a problem: On some games like Warthunder and Squad my gpu doesn't use his full potential. It's usage is only around 9% when playing Warthunder, which results in only 60-80...

I'm in a bit of a pickle with my computer and idk if anybody else had this problem so I figured I'd ask.

I just put my 2nd monitor to windows 10, and it appears that it looks WAY sharper and WAY brighter than my main monitor, which I find odd because my main monitor is higher quality than my second. Why does Windows 10 do this? What can I do to fix this? I've tried recalibrating the brightness on...
