Hi guys. I've got quite an old rig from around 2016 with a AX370 Gaming 5 motherboard, and a Ryzen 5 1600x. Things have been good for ages but lately I've been getting the error code in the thread title? I've been round the Internet and tried various things but they don't seem to cure it. The...

Some strange things have been happening with my PC of late and I wondered if any of you have some solutions I can try: - About two weeks ago I turned my PC on and was greeted with "Select boot device", almost like there wasn't a working hard drive present or it had been missed by the...

Just bought a new TV and having some issues with this. The guide online says you just need to select 'New Computer' and it should search your network for a PC running Steam. Instead, nothing comes up apart from a box asking for an IP Address etc of the PC in question to add it manually. Am I...

I just need a bit of help deciding between these two monitors. I had my heart set on the former first as I’m getting an Nvidia card, but the temptation of saving some money on the latter and sacrificing on G-Sync is tempting. I know the FreeSync features won’t work but will screen tearing be a...

I'm trying to take this laptop back to its factory setting in order to sell it but I'm having a few problems, mainly down to an oversight but hopefully it's retrievable. According to the manual pressing F9 during boot should load the recovery partition, but nothing happens. (I think it's due to...

Is there such a thing as an adapter that plugs into a USB header on a motherboard enabling you to connect two devices from one header? It's a small rig but I want to connect my Corsair h80i, and a fan speed reducer also.

I've decided to buy myself a retro gaming PC on eBay mainly for my old Windows 9X games of which I have many but my question is what graphics card would I need to go for. Is going for a new low end card my best option or would games from that period have problems understanding the architecture...

I have just bought another 780ti to go in SLI with my current one. When I first installed it everything was fine but I realised I hadn't enabled my case lights and the cabling was a bit messy so I tidied everything up. Upon the next boot with the tidy cables the fan on the new card now spins...

I'm not sure if this goes here but it's case related so here goes... How do you guys clean your case window? They are lovely things that allow you to peer into your rig and see everything lit it all lovely but do you have a hard time like me keeping them free from dust after long periods of...

I've had this cooler installed since I built my PC around a year ago but the other day I decided to swap the fans that came with the unit for the new SP120 green ones (as it's a green build) and I wanted those as the finishing touch. I'm starting to wish i hadn't. Since I installed them onto...

In the process of uninstalling this piece of software something must have happened and traces of it remain although not that I can physically see just an option in the removing programs section in Windows. The point is I would like to reinstall the software to control my fan noise but when I...

I've just had fibre installed and decided to buy home plugs for my desktop PC upstairs. My laptop which is using the built in wireless achieves around 36.7Mbps which I'm happy with considering I should get up to 40Mbps. My desktop PC on the other hand appears to work well and is quite...

I've just finished my new rig with a Sniper M5 and 16GB of 2400Mhz memory. Looking through the BIOS upon the initial setup though I notice that the memory frequency setting in the M.I.T menu is 1330.55Mhz. Should this be 2400Mhz or am I missing the point?
