    Computer Boot Loops - No POST

    I case anyone else runs in to this, it turns out my CPU went bad. AMD gave me a label and I had a new one less than 2 weeks later. Not sure how or why it went bad.

    Computer Boot Loops - No POST

    I built this computer back in January and it's been working great. Then a few weeks ago I put my computer in sleep and went to bed. Next day I come back to it and it won't wake. No display, no post. It just restarts every 30 seconds. I unplugged everything, tried different GPUs, moved the RAM...

    Suggestions for new build

    I finally have all my parts for my new build, except the power supply. I have a Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB RAM, and an XFX RX 5700 DD Ultra. It's been almost 10 years since my last build (Phenom II 1055T) and I am totally out of the loop on power supplies. I would reuse my current power supply, and XFX...

    Cases with Horizontal Motherboard Orientation

    I'm looking for cases that let you mount the motherboard horizontally. Either mATX or ATX. So far I've only found the ThermalTake V 21 that has this. Any others?

    Nice, that's the one I was originally looking at. Good to know it's well liked. Thanks

    Best mATX Board for Ryzen 3600

    I'm looking for motherboards for the Ryzen 3600 $100 or less, and there doesn't seem to be too many mATX boards available that look great. The best one I've seen so far seems to be the ASRock B450M Pro4 AM4 mATX. Is that any good in terms of the VRMs and such? I'm not too entirely sure what to...

    How And Why You Should Invest In A Dash Cam

    Oh, I'm the same way. When I was moving from the left lane to the turn lane my eyes were glued to the mirror as the always are. It's common for people to cross that gore in the turn lane coming out of the gas station too. He was behind me and stayed behind me all the way until that last second...

    How And Why You Should Invest In A Dash Cam

    I've had a dash cam for a couple of years. I've had a few close calls but this one made me pucker up a bit.

    How And Why You Should Invest In A Dash Cam

    Seriously? He signaled, there was plenty of room, and he didn't impede your travel. Calm the hell down. It's people like you that cause problems on the road.

    Which smartphone should I buy under $70?

    They aren't really dual speakers, but other than that it is a great phone. Huge upgrade for me coming from a 2013 Moto G without LTE. I've been using mine for over a week now. If I had to complain about anything about it, it would be the loose/cheap power and volume buttons.

    Which smartphone should I buy under $70?

    The ZTE ZMax 2 gophone from BestBuy for $59.99 might be a good choice. It works on AT&T and T-Mobile just fine.

    What was the very first video card you ever bought?

    EVGA Geforce4 MX440SE (PCI). I believe I payed about $100 for it. Vice City was smooth after that upgrade.

    I Need Help - System Issues

    Thank you everyone for all the help. It still makes me wonder what could have failed on the card, but I'm glad I now know the cause of the system instability. I guess it isn't too bad considering it probably had about 17,000 hours on it (number taken from smart data of hard drive installed at...

    GPU Replacement in Old System

    I guess that makes sense...If I could get a EVGA 960 for $135 right now (from Jet.com with Amex offer and disocunt code), should I jump on that? Or alternatively a EVGA 950 for $113? Both are 2GB models. Can the 950 do everything my 470 could do and more?

    GPU Replacement in Old System

    Is Polaris the next gen coming out soon? What would that mean for me? Getting a next gen budget card or waiting so it pushes down the price of budget cards out now? I can certainly wait a couple weeks if needed. I'm also not a big of AMD video cards. Twice in the past I've gotten them and had...
