Just my 2 cents: this looks totally fixable. I had a h85 motherboard with a broken pin which was responsible for one memory slot. I found some steel whiring, of comparable thickness to the pins, threaded it into the socket and cut to lenght, tried to position it in a way that it was oriented...

They used to have a McLaren Senna in that one, good tourist attraction.

Hi guys, so here's the deal: got a virgin media hub 3, Wi-Fi is terrible (signal dropping off, bad reception 2 rooms away). What I would like to do is make it better on a budget. Does anyone have any recommendations on the subject? House has 2 floors and is of medium size. If you require more...

Mostly depends on the game. Doom (2016) I couldn't possibly play without the in-game soundtrack. Racing games - I usually play something else from other sources, however just finished the career in need for speed underground (2003) while listening to the in-game soundtrack - instant return back...

I've been using a 4TB Seagate drive for the better part of 4 years now, and it wasn't new when I bought it. Zero performance or health issues. Second drive I use is a 2TB Hitachi, previously used in some kind of enterprise setting as it had high power-on hours but minimal power-on/off cycles...

7nm+ Extreme Ultra Violent lithography - : Doom intensifies:

Is it just me or does it have a fallouty-borderlandsy-something else vibe to it? I'd play it.

+1 for the app, it's from where I lurk on the forums 99% of the time

So, I got the PSU It didn't want to boot at all to start with, the mobo sat there with code 00 I reseated the CPU, inserted one ram stick and it started running post codes, I put in my GPU, connected the HDD, and it booted into windows at stock settings Ran linpack xtreme 64 bit and it said...

Yep, cleared and reset it countless times, no progress. I guess that's what's left now, I'll post an update once I test it. Thanks for trying though.

Yes, that was the first thing I tried, same behaviour.

Socket is clean, all pins are ok. I have tried to boot it up with just one stick of ram, same behaviour. After these shutdowns it doesn't react to the power buttons (both the onboard ones and case ones) even if I hold them pressed. Now it doesn't even boot into Windows.

I've ordered an EVGA 850 GQ to see if the PSU is the issue. Ran stress tests again, on the old system - no issues. This is not fun at all. In the meantime, will try the minimal hardware approach, as suggested. Edit: another way to get it to post is to press the clear cmos button and then reset

Hello guys, usually I try to solve all my issues on my own and by searching the internet and the forum. This time though I need some advice from the best, hence my post. I used to run an i5 4590 on a h81 motherboard, with 16GB DDR3 RAM and a gtx 970 (+150 core and +250 mem) The PSU is a evga...

- A GPU to replace my GTX 970 - A 60+ Hz monitor - A 256+ GB SSD - A canon 200d camera - A new phone to replace my Galaxy Note 3 It's a good thing I can control the impulse to buy stuff (most of the times anyway).
