Good Afternoon All! I had some parts fail on me and did an RMA on my motherboard and CPU. I also replaced my RAM (I think my ram was the true culprit but I received new MB and CPU anyhow). Ever since I have been unable to play any games with a BSOD. I can go anywhere from 30 mins to 3-4 days...

I've established that this is a grounding issue. About one third of the time, if I plug a USB device in, ANY device, the monitor will go blank, audio will stop, and I have to manually force a restart. If I tap the device on the metal case before plugging it in, and let the static discharge, the...

I've had quite a fight with my new computer build, mostly hardware related. But, not being an expert in IT, I was surprised to hear the words of a person I highly respect, an expert here = in this area, not this Forum, that "You shouldn't fix what's not broken", meaning that you shouldn't...
