computer build

Hello Everyone, I am new to the forums and say hello to all!! I programmed with Visual Basic 5, ASP and HTML4 back in the early 2000's. I build all my computers also. My question is, I am getting back into it and need to know if the programmers of today would use my set up...

I don't know what's wrong with my baby but he's doing something crazy. The SSD that someone bought me is screwed. Meaning, it's slower than both of the HDD's that I have. I've since reformatted the SSD and I'm in the process of removing it from my computer. However, the 500GB isn't doing too...

I recently built a new computer (specs below) and have no problems with it except that whenever the computer goes to sleep and I wake it up, either with the power button or keyboard, the monitor does not wake up. I can fix the problem easily enough by cycling the power on my monitor. After the...

Ok Guys I really need some help here I built myself a new computer last week. When I installed Windows 7 on it and some of the drivers, at completely random intervals it would BSOD. Now I have noticed a pattern, it usually comes up with 0x000000d1 IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and it mentions...

So I installed the graphics card and driver into my newly built computer and it worked for a couple of hours but then it came up with the BSOD. After that the computer would crash minutes after restarting it. I took the graphics card out and the same problem still occurred. I have looked at...

Link Removed I took a look at these two CPU and I'm not sure if I should build another computer. I have a AMD Phenom II X4 955 but Fry's electronics is selling this: Link Removed page:P29_SAT date:021613 So I'm wondering if it's worth building? Both computers will have Windows 7

Hey folks, I'm new here at this forum but I'd like to get the ball rolling. Post a short description of your everyday usage of Windows 8, your system (laptop, desktop, Surface, or custom) and one praise and one gripe. I'll start out with mine I decided this holidays to finally build my own...

This is very hard to explain in words, but I'll give it a try. Basically, I can't play any games continuously without it freezing or crashing. HOWEVER, this is not a typical crash that you may be thinking of. Normally a crash is when the system cannot cope, and it ends the application's...

I bought a new computer on Halloween. I purchased a game November 6th, called Metro 2033, on steam. Downloaded, installed it, than booted it up. Killed my display, so restarted the computer, same issue. So I returned it today, and tried again, figured out the issue, and had to auto change the...

Have perused the topics but did not find a particular post specific to my concern. First of all, having trouble burning dvd's and that lead to the current issue. The process does not seem to be straightforward. Built a machine this past spring with 2 disc drives: Blu-ray Intel SSDSC2CW12...

I just built this computer around the 1st of August this year. It's my second self-built PC and came together without issue. However, I started having blue screens about once a week since maybe the 2nd day after I first ran it. Every single blue screen seems to be linked to the video card...
