Hello i made a thread a few weeks back about my drivers stop working and then restart. I thought it might have been the GPU (EVGA GTX 750 Ti) so i got it replaced and the issue is still occurring. I also thought it was because i had a 350w power supply so i upgraded to a 500w. The issue did not...

My gaming tower wasn't turning on one day so I brought it to the local Geek Squad and they helped me figure out that my motherboard(GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R) was not working. I guess it somehow broke, but I was wondering if it's still worth the money to invest on another motherboard so I could...
Hello, Thank you for reading my post :) I have a major problem with my SSD. I bought a OCZ Vector 256GB and I had it plugged into one of two sata III 6 g/bs ports on my Asus sabertooth X58 motherboard that I bought in 2011. It recognised it fine so I did a clean installation of windows and for...
