So after several years of pretty great gaming performance from what was originally a second-hand PC, it's time to start upgrading. I'd rather not have to buy a completely new rig (although not necessarily against it if that's what's required), so want to know the best place for me to start, and...

I went on a brief vacation and now my PC won’t turn on. I was gone for four days and when I got back home, I turned on my PC and the light flashed, then died immediately. I thought it was no big deal, and I unplugged the system and plugged it back in. It did the same thing again, and I started...

I have tried installing my 3.5-inch Hard drive into the bay that comes with the case on the back side (only 1). However, it does not seem to be aligning with any of the screw holes, and the case did not come with an HDD/SSD Cage or additional bays. Everything else is installed except the HDD...

I'm figuring on building a new desktop build for myself, and I've settled on most of the components, but I am still considering cases. Up for first consideration was Vetroo AL-MESH-7C Compact ATX PC Case I definitely want front facing USB ports, but...I am not sold on the idea of the PSU...

In response to my previous question "Is Dell a reliable pre-built?" the consensus was that this would be a poor choice, and I'd be better off building a new system myself. My current system is a Haswell, i5-4690K on a Gigabyte Z97-HD3 board, Cryorig H7, 32GB RAM My thinking back then is...

Upgraded my PC: Ryzen 5600X GTX 1050 Ti 3200Mhz 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD It was running fine and then all of a sudden it started getting really slow and laggy and when I tried to play a game, my FPS kept dropping to 1. I’ve barely installed anything and have only used it as few times, what could...

I guess the main issue is this, my graphics card seems to fail to turn on multiple times, I just get a black screen but I hear and see that the pc is working. I do not even see the Dell BIOS screen, it just stays black. It forces me to force a hardware reset, about 3 times, each time the screen...

Self built PC 2 years ago. It was fine in the beginning for a short while but it soon started freezing at the slightest touch of the case. Later on it started randomly freezing even without touching the case. Then it started randomly shutting down. Afterwards randomly restarting - mostly happens...

What's up, I'm building a PC and have put together a list of parts to meet a certain price point (in total don't want to spend over €1000 and will need to buy a monitor). I'm really open to any feedback, for the CPU I currently own this and if it will work with this build then that'd be great...

Hello Folks! My friend made me a new computer recently but we can't figure out why we constantly get BSOD randomly - downloading stuff, just opening one browser window and surfing, starting up, playing games. Already tried reformatting the computer and reinstalling windows. May I please have...

Hey everyone I have a gaming PC and I am looking to do some small upgrades to make playing a little smoother. Looking for the more subtle PC mods such as a GPU change or a CPU change rather than the whole rig. Its a few years old so dont be alarmed but some older tech. Suggestions and help will...

This is my first time building a PC so I don't really know what I am doing. I did however manage to make it turn on (GPU fans going, CPU fan going, and other fans in the case working. However when I come to boot the PC nothing shows up on my monitor. The Hard Drive LED on my motherboard is on...

Hi there I am new to this forum and just under 40. I have never built a computer before but have done simpler things like replace video cards, replace ram, basic cleaning of dust, replace fans. Previously I have purchased HP computers and am getting tired of them lasting only a few years before...

Hi all, I’m hoping someone can shed some light on my little predicament! I’m putting together a new PC but it won’t turn on. I’m sure it’s something not plugged in correctly but I’ve checked it three times now and I’m a bit stumped. I checked compatibility on the parts before I bought them so...
