I have a weird problem with my PC, I think it is a motherboard problem but before splashing the cash, I thought I'd check in here incase it is something else. My PC the other day froze, so I had to turn it off holding the power button. After this happened it wouldn't restart until I removed my...

A couple of weeks back my hard drive broke so I took the opportunity to get an SSD and do a fresh install. I have dual screen with one output from the intergrated GPU and another screen output from my R9 390 graphics card, I had no problems with this before but now none of my games are running...

I have a dirt cheap Windows 10 tablet which is stuck on a black screen. When I turn the tablet on, it shows the company logo (Prixton.com) and then the screen stays black (however there is a slight brightness to it so you can tell it is on) and if I touch the screen I can see the mouse cursor...

A friend of mine asked me to look at his computer. He upgraded to Windows 10, didn't like it, so rolled back to Windows 7, now no keyboard work with the system once Windows loads, during the POST and in the BIOS it works fine. In the device management it shows that the keyboard drivers aren't...

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to keep the blue LED's of the Gaming G1 Windforce R9 390 always on? At the moment they only turn on to show it is in quiet mode, but I would prefer them to be on always. :)

My case came with 2 120mm fans, one in the front of the case, one in the back of the case. I noticed that both fans are blowing out with the front fan blowing out cool air and the back warmer. Would I be best turning the front fan around to pull in air from the front for the rear fan to exhaust...

As I have never had a graphics card before I am not sure if this temp is normal or not. I have an R9 390 G1 Gaming Windforce and in my system I have 2 case fans, I downloaded MSI Afterburner to check the temps and it show 79ºC max whilst playing DiRT Rally with everything on Ultra.

Has anyone tried this yet? I see it is in the sale and it looks quite interesting and has co-op. "As the lone survivor of a passenger jet crash, you find yourself in a mysterious forest battling to stay alive against a society of cannibalistic mutants. Build, explore, survive in this...

I got my new PC without an operating system and due to the license of the operating system on my hard drive (Windows 10, was 8.1) I have to activate due to it being different hardware, something I kind of knew would happen, but hoped it wouldn't :P I am just wondering what would be the cheapest...

I was checking the requirement a for the R9 390 and it said it needs a PSU of 750W or more with 2 8 pin connectors at 150W. Is that 750W for the graphics card only? So I would have to add to it the consumption of my other components. Also, u was looking at a PSU that had the two connectors...

I will be getting a motherboard that allows for SLI and in the future I would like to SLI but at the moment I can only afford a graphics card for around 250€. I am looking for an Nvidia one (obviously) that is 4GB at least, but there are quite a lot to choose from and I am unsure of many of the...

I want to build a budget Skylake build this Christmas and when I was looking at the specs of the i5-6500 i noticed the following: "Supported memory: DDR3L-1333, DDR3L-1600, DDR4-1866, DDR4-2133" Does this mean if I used any DDR4 RAM over 2133 I won't get any benefits?

Just had an exam about permissions for shared files (Server 2008 Datacenter)....I can safely say I hate permissions, why oh why do they seem to have a mind of their own? :O It doesn't help that the teacher has explained next to nothing about them, all we have done is one exercise :O On another...

A little question of no importance that I can't work out about single mode fibre optic, which probably has a simple answer. If in single mode that light travels straight down the cable and it doesn't reflect like multimode, wouldn't that mean the cable would need to be super straight so it...
