I’ve been running valorant on it and it does pretty well, averaging 100fps. One of the ram sticks has...

    I recently reinstalled windows to clear all my files out. Windows works fine, but I downloaded league of legends and FPS is at 8, when it was at 250 previously. So I am assuming it is not using the nvidia graphics card. I tried every possible thing that is listed online as a solution, nothing...

    Hello! I was playing a game on my desktop computer when it showed a mess of horizontal lines with a colour scheme pretty similar to the game and then stopped. I restarted the computer only for it to not display anything (although, interestingly, the monitor didn't display "no signal," so it...

Upon turning it back on, My second monitor couldn’t be detected and my resolution was at 800x600. I had fixed the resolution but now when starting up the pc I get a blue screen with errors...

    Hi Not too long after startup, I often seem to get this sound with a short beep followed with a longer beep, and I wonder what it might be and how to fix it. Tried to attach an audio file of it here. Hope it works. Sometimes I've also been having occasional problem with my keyboard, where it...

    After playing a game for around 2 minutes the screen will go black. I can still hear the audio and talk to the active call on discord. This happened once before but fixed itself after I uninstalled GTA 5 and updated my graphics drivers. It started up again after I installed Fall Guys but the...

    So obviously there is a shortage in GPUs, and I got this pretty fair deal yesterday about a used PC (used for about a year now) and I am currently in a really slim budget and I need some help with this one because I don't really know much about PCs, just that RX 570 is still pretty decent. The...

    Hello, I hope I have written this message in the right part of the forum. I have been playing a new game (Resident Evil 8) and at the high settings after a while (maybe 20min-1hr) there is a whizzing/grinding/rattling/scraping noise coming from inside my desktop. I don't know how else to...

    Hi there, I have just started making YouTube videos and using Premiere Pro to edit them. I currently have a Microsoft Surface Book Pro 2, which has taken around 9 hours to export a file size of around 7250MB. I wondered whether it would be worth getting a cheap desktop PC (under £200) to edit...

    A couple of weeks ago i put a new graphics card in my pc. I realized after that i didnt have the right power cord for it. Not a problem. I removed the card and turned on my pc. My pc turned on fine and ran well. I thought it would revert to internal graphics. However my display wasnt showing any...

    Mine has a Radeon 6470M card with only 512MB memory. Is there a better one I can install (if possible)? User Benchmark lists a couple including the Radeon 7400M which is 1GB memory, but I can't find any for sale anywhere.
