How do I find out if my laptop can support a 4k monitor? I need to do a 3 monitor setup for work. Was considering a 4k in the center and 2 others on the side? Or I don't know? What's best for business? I'm totally new to the multiple monitor setup options. Thanks

Purchased RAM upgrade for OptiPlex 780. Im no computer guy, so I called a buddy who is, said to leave old RAM in and just plug in new RAM. Did that and computer started but nothing on screen. For shits and giggles I switched the positioning of the RAM and nothing happened also. He then had me...

Hi all, having an issue with my PC. It had been running with no issues whatsoever since replacing the mobo 4 months ago, and upgrading the GPU at Christmas. A couple weeks ago, I went to move my tower to another room. (switched off the PSU before unplugging) When I turned it back on, it hung...

We recently closed an office, and took the left-behind LCD monitors back to our main office for storage. They're decent widescreen monitors which we expect to re-use in about 1-2 years time, so we're not keen on selling now and re-buying again later. But we are worried the monitors might...

Okay so first, build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JvqNhy Case, RAM, PSU, and hard drives: 1 year old MOBO, GPU, CPU, and CPU Cooler: within a month old. So everything in existence on this pc has been put together one by one so any blatant DOA issues would have been able to be cherry picked...

The question is in the title. I know that it's pretty obvious but I'm still somewhat of a noob to PC building and would like some help on this since it isn't the thing I know the most about. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello people, I upgraded to a vega 56 and a ryzen 2700, I have 2*8 3000mhz ram and a proper PSU, cooling. I want my pc in 3-4 years to perform 60 fps 1080p on medium as an acceptable aging process for my wallet. Is that too much to ask?

Hello guys! Sorry but I am finally now getting back to this build I started in December. This will be our main house computer for a little bit of everything and probably heavier weekend gaming. Cooling is important and I don't think we will overclock. Want to future proof as much as possible as...
