Im about to buy a bundle of computer parts, all of them are used but 16gb of memory is brand new sealed. I really wanted a different memory kit, since its unopened what are the chances microcenter will let me exchange it?
So I just upgraded to a 40" 4K TV and a GTX 1070. When the computer sits idle the "monitor" is supposed to shut off after a certain amount of time. The problem I am having is my computer seems to send a blank black signal instead of no signal. This is happening on a brand new install of windows...

Hi I have a xps 13 9343 which does not support pcie type m.2 drives. Im looking for a drive around 250gb and I was wondering if you guys had a budget recommendation? I use my laptop for typical schoolwork.....battery life and reliability are big factors.
I ordered a 270gb mx300 but I also see...
Im trying to figure out this hardware problem I am having. I leave my HTPC on 24/7, one night there was an outage and I slowly started to have playback problems. What ive tried: multiple players, reinstalling windows multiple times, swapped out the HDD with fresh win 10 and still am having the...
Hi I have seen different release dates (Sept., Jun). I am getting ready to make a HTPC using an i3 chip and was wondering if anyone knew when the new i3 chips are suppose to come out?
I just installed the ocz vertex plus and I have been impressed to say the least. It was only $40 AR and I havent seen a noticeable difference compared to the intel 320 that we had ($200 drive).
One problem I have is I see it goes into chk disk before booting into windows 7. This seems to be...
Well first off my HTPC motherboard died for some reason (POS board that I got for free), but also took out my two tuner cards ($$$$) so im low on funds.
I am thinking about giving my biostar a880g+ to the HTPC and upgrading.
I was previously running my x2 560 as a quad core in the biostar...
I am currently using a WD 1tb caviar black taken from my HTPC (upgraded). I am using it as an OS drive and all is well. One thing I am alittle annoyed by is both the normal drive spinning sound and the seek sound. I was wondering if there was a drive with good performance that was also quiet. I...
The first board I bought was dead on arrival. Then I exchanged one and bought another (well didnt exactly buy it-came with the cpu for free). They both were running fine one in the HTPC and one as my personal desktop. The desktop I unlocked/overclocked (560 x2 cpu), while I was testing it with...
I bought some new ram and notice the system was unstable coming out of sleep. Well I tested my ram and got errors so I took out one of the rams and then tested and no errors. So I went to test the other stick expecting errors and nothing, no errors. I am running default and dont see why with two...

I already have the cooler but switched to AMD.
Does anyone know? It seems the crucial quality went down (based on newegg reviews). I checked and the ones I have are discontinued on neweggs site.

From what I remembered they were D9GBH's. Anyway to tell without taking the heatsink off...
I dont know what im doing wrong. But I have this problem on my computer. I have a gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R and sometimes when I plug something into the front usb it crashes my computer and it restarts. I kinda gave up on fixing this so fastfoward 2 years and I help my friend build a computer using a...
I know with the intel core 2's that you put the grease in a strip from bottom to the top (not side to side), reason being is thats better in relation to where the cpu's are underneath the heatsink.
Should I do the same with the amd?
Hi could anyone please explain to me how MSDN works? I see some cheap windows 7 keys on ebay but heard that they are just MSDN and can/would be blacklisted once microsoft catches onto them.
I would like to know how MSDN works for my own use (not to sell on ebay). From what I gathered it is for...
I am looking for lower tempatures. I use the computer for dual purpose, htpc and everyday computing.

I am looking for a hard drive for my OS. Will I see a difference in speed between these two hard drives? Either way im going to partition ~80gb for the OS and use the rest for data.
Well I currently have a Zaleman 9500 cooler. My CPU is OC to 3.2 (e6400) at alittle over stock 1.32V. But while just idling or surfing the web I am getting temps around 64C (via speedfan). This is after a full day of the computer running. I noticed how hot it was and turned on the cooler on the...
Well I used this article to allow me to partition my hard drive. Orignally it would only let me use 40gb for partition after following the steps in the article I could partition 75gb.

I posted this on another forum but no one has answered it so I assume no one knows how to do this on the other forum.
I am pretty sure this can be done on xp. But I am not sure how to do this on vista. I have multiple audio devices. Now one of them is my logitech keyboard and mouse reciever...
Well I have a x1950pro and I think messed up. I was playing call of duty 4 and decided that I should give overclocking a try since it could use some extra boost for this game.
Anyways; using the ati catalyst software I tried out the "Automatic Clock Configuration" and it ran. My clock...
A few days ago I got a message, "Indexer stopped working". Now the computer runs slow and super slow when I do anything to the hard drive (I deleted an empty folder and it took like 2mins).
Any ideas? I tried turning indexer off but it didnt seem to work.
Hello, I have a Gigabyte P35 motherboard. In the gigabyte utility "Easytune 5" it tells me that my motherboard is running around 50 C; is that very hot? Also does this "system" tempature just mean the northbridge?
Also using that same easytune utility it tells me my cpu is running at 26C; but...
Ok so I bought the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 rev. 1.3. Since like day #2 of the instal I had problems where if I turned it on in the morning it wont post. Then I would hit restart and it would post. This problem happened more often with overclocking (but still happened with stock speeds). Well as of...
