Troubleshoooting

I'll just lay out all the facts and then what I'm looking into, let me know what y'all think. I pay for 400 mbps internet. I was getting that a few months ago, no problem. I did a random check again today when I hit a download cap of about 12 MBps which was different from the regular ~30 MBps...

Hello guys! This is my first time posting/asking a question here. Since I'm not super into PC building but I want to maintain and upgrade/build my own rig, I bought a new pair of RAM sticks. My new RAM has a XMP profile which clocks it to 3200mhz, but if I enable XMP it doesn't boot. The...

Recently I've replaced my 660Ti with a used RX 570 4GB, and didn't change anything else in the computer, as I thought the PSU I had would be okay for the 570. The card acts normal, I installed drivers without any issues, idles normally, no artifacts. However, whenever a harder load is put on...

Hi. I went to turn on my PC last night and was greeted with the motherboard splash page, followed by a loading screen that doesn't go away. I have a gigabyte z97x-gaming motherboard. I read that it could be that the windows installed on my SSD could be corrupt. Attempted to format and install...

Update: I also made a post on the Microsoft forum and the person who replied thinks it's because my Windows is buggy. They suggested I run an sfc. I did and it found some corrupted files and fixed them. Hopefully this solves my problem. I'll make an update in a couple days to let everyone know...

Out of the blue this morning my pc kept getting BSODs. After researching the error codes I was getting I figured the only fix would be to reinstall windows.

I've been trying to run a game I was gifted (Monster Hunter: Rise) yet the in game models are broken. After talking with support they believe the issue is that my GPU is not supplying enough VRAM thus the models cannot load. The game requires 1.9 GB to run at minimum settings. My GPU has 2 GB...

Hi everyone, I've been recently experiencing an issue with my GPU (see specs below) where around 25-30 minutes into a game or stress test, the entire PC shuts off (no BSOD, no errors or anything), the CPU light on the motherboard lights up, and then the PC boots back up into the lock screen (so...
