    Tried to upgrade my gpu the other day. System started and worked fine with one 8 pin connector in the gpu. Got lights and fans on the gpu too. However, my monitors did not turn on. It needed a second 8 pin, and my PSU had a daisy chained 6 pin, so I picked up a 6 to 8 pin converter. After...

    Whenever I play any games (ranging from MSFS to The Escapists 2) or just browsing sometimes, my laptop hard crashes. No shut down screen, nothing.

    Hello! I have an older Dell Alienware 17x running windows 7 from factory. It runs "ok", but it's getting very slow, and 900GB is full even after I removed all of my files, so software files are totally bogging it down. Long story short, I've decided I'd like to do a factory reset and start...

    Hello. My problem is as follows. I have an Oculus rift and my laptop is not working for it. I believe it is a problem with the graphics card because I must plug the headset directly into the graphics card and my HDMI is not a direct port for that. I may be entirely wrong but I need help. Please...
