pc build

Hello! I'm on my 3rd Windows install on this PC build and want to keep it as clean as possible. Besides, on shutdown I get the “Waiting for Background Program to Close” for a fraction of a second- with nothing listed between the horizontal lines. I figured I would start by fixing the causes...

Ok, so about 2 hours ago I was playing M&B Warband, and listening to some music. My computer then randomly shut down as I tabbed out, black screen, just figured my windows crapped out or whatever. Power still running, fans still going, just black screen. So I shut it down by holding down power...

Last Christmas my dad had the idea of custom making me a PC and ever since the first day I turned it on its had the BSOD. The main error that pops up is "Page Fault In NonPaged Area" but I also get "Memory Management" a fair amount too. We took the PC into a computer shop to get it checked out...

Hey guys. I have recently been having some MAJOR issues with a certain program called Avid Pro Tools 10.3.8. I'm posting this both in the Avid forum (which is down right now) and the Windows forum, because I'm still unsure as to which one is actually causing the problem. Whenever certain Pro...

Ok, so I thought about it for awhile and decided I would build my own PC. I researched for a week and figured out which parts I wanted and got everything ordered. It all got here friday and I installed windows, updated drivers, and anit-virus. Everything was working fine until today.I just...

I am building a new PC, using an AMD FX8350 on a MSI 970A-G46 mobo. I have G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL (2 X 4MB). I also have one stick of G.Skill F3-14900CL10S-8GBXL. Which would be better for this build?

I built a pc last friday, and i have only one issue. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit, and when im trying to type something my keyboard starts to open programs. I think they are windows key shortcuts. But anyway my windows key isnt stuck because it works no problem with other computer. Please help with...

Hello. I built this PC a few months ago and it's been, for the most part, running pretty flawlessly. However, when running one game in particular, FFXIV (being an MMO on max settings, probably one of the most intensive things to run on my system), I have occasionally gotten BSODs. I've had...

In dire need of help. I purchased my pc in parts, Windows7 and gave it to a pc repair guy to build and looked like everything was working fine. Minutes after I got it back i started to download my usual software and it began to get BSOD. I checked for window updates and downloaded them all...

Hi, A year ago I purchased an SSD and Windows 8 for my old pc and it's been running fine. Now however, I'm going to build a new PC, and I want to move Windows 8 back to my old HDD (it was an upgrade on Windows 7 OEM, so I can't move it across to my new PC). How do I go about this? Thanks in...

Come tax return time I am looking at upgrading my graphics. 2013 was processor and mobo. Coming up is graphics. I am running an AMD Radeon 5670 crossfire. Both are fully stock 5670's with 1GB GDDR5 at 1000mhz and clock at 775mhz. I want to play the Fallout 3 and New Vegas games at full...

I have been fighting for sometime getting a new build system to run stable. I seem to get BSOD a lot, and it seems to happen most often when I copy large files. I have never attempted to overclock. I have not installed very much other than MS Office and FSX, but those run fine. OS Name...

It didn't occur to me while digging out my old MSI motherboard for use in my HTPC, but I just checked the download page at MSI for it, and not one of the drivers available are listed as being compatible with Windows 7. In fact, only a couple are listed as being for X64. I know that Windows 7...

I have the problem where my PC is stalling repeatedly at random. I was running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit before, but I formatted and reinstalled Windows today. I have run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware full scans on both my C: Drive and my D: drives after I reinstalled Windows, where I backed up...

Good morning. I can't seem to find a definitive answer to my problem. I selected my motherboard because it was SLI-capable. Unfortunately, when I upgraded from the gtx 580 to the gtx 680 4gb FTW card, I found that it was far thicker than the 580, and now almost completely covers the next slot...

I just put together a brand new PC build with all new components. In the middle of a custom install of Windows 7 on the HDD (the system only has one 1TB 7200rpm toshiba HDD), the installation screen went blank and the computer restarted. After restarting, the monitor displayed bootdisk mgr...
