For some reason, Im getting purple screen flickering artifacts in TW3 at 60hz, that go away if I set it to 30hz. 59.94hz yields the same artifacts as 60hz. Never encountered something like this before.
For reference, I am using a 4070ti on a 55r635 TCL tv.
I bought a center of room control 12 inch usb c touch screen display, and cant figure out why it isnt displaying anything, the touchscreen works but nothing displays. HP Elite Slice G2 Center Of Room Control 12.3", any help would be very much appreciated. btw I am not sure if this is the right place I just know there are alot of smart people in here.
Hello! im looking for a pc this is my first time buying one and im trying to save as much money as possible whilst getting it, im specifically trying to get an eva-01 styled pc, does anyone know what i should do?
Hi friends! I've been programming games since age 8, worked on God of War Ragnarok, and today I released my indie game as a full-time indie developer!
Sherwood Extreme is a co-op Crossbow Shooter with Bullet-Time Parkour! Race through levels and horde mode, chaining combos of slow-mo sniping and destruction to climb the leaderboards. Build maps in the Level Editor.

I have 4 case fans, a AIO with 2 additional fans, and a LED GPU extension that were all working perfectly before I replaced my PSU with a similar model. I was running everything except the CPU pump using an ARGB/fan controller.
When I turned the PC on after replacing the PSU, everything worked perfectly - except ALL of the RGBs are unresponsive (except RAM). I have tried:
All of these tests result in the same outcome - none of the lights work, and no control software even registers that I have lights aside from my 2 ram sticks.
I'm at a complete loss. I've spent probably 15 hours at thus point trying to figure it out. The new PSU was the last improvement I had planned, and now I feel like I've ruined the whole thing. Did the ARGB headers somehow die??
I am on the verge of tears over these stupid rainbow lights.
How much of a difference is this actually. I have a 66L case and really want something smaller but I still want room for upgrades down the line. Is 26L of difference noticeable or do I need to go smaller.
I have a pre-built Microcenter PC I purchased in January of 2022 (model g901 for reference). I have been very happy with it, but have considered maybe it’s time to begin some upgrades - mostly because just why not, honestly. No underlying reason. The specs are as follows:
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7GHz Processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X
32GB DDR4-3200 RAM
2TB Solid State Drive
Is there an obvious bottleneck or component you would add to or replace first? Are the specs still good to go for the foreseeable future? Or would it even be a better idea to sell the PC and purchase/build from scratch? I just want to continue to be able to play any game that comes out on ultra settings and not worry about my hardware meeting requirements.
Any and all insight is appreciated. Thanks.
With a 4070super do you recommend a 5800x3d or a 5900x?
I use the pc for gaming and some photo and video post production. However, I would like to have a processor that can last as long as possible for the uses I do. Even if I lose 15fps using the 5900x I don't think it poses a problem, but I think the more cores in the 5900x could make a difference if there is software in the next few years that needs more cores.
What do you guys think?
Took off the AIO and when I wiped off the thermal paste using a Noctua cleaning wipe, these stains still remain and won't come off using another alcohol wipe. Any ideas on how to get these stains off?
Here’s the link pls give advice I’m clueless lol Tysm

Hello all,
A friend reached out to be about a discounted pre-built at our local Walmart for $750 (https://www.ibuypower.com/support/faq/retail/slatemeshi5n4601). He's been looking to upgrade since I built his first one about 5 years ago and I told him I can probably just upgrade it for about the same price and have it last longer than that prebuilt. I was planning to do the AMD bundle from Microcenter with a Ryzen 7 5800x3D, Asus TUF B550-Plus WiFi, and 16gb DDR4-3200 Ripjaws for $350 and a Corsair RM850x for $115 and using the CPU fan, memory, and case from his current setup with combining the Ripjaws with 16 GB of Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200. Mostly just having trouble deciding what GPU to use since I'm trying to stay in a $300-400 budget and whether to stay in the 3000 series realm or maybe get a 4060. He currently has an EVGA 1660 Super but any recs are appreciated with this build. Thx so much.
To me this looks like a good deal, now I’m not a pc expert so don’t cook me, I want a decent pc for my first and I want it to run Fortnite mainly at low settings 200+ fps

I play a game with it's own custom launcher, but unfortunately it doesn't track game time. I was just wondering if there was anything I can download which would allow me to see how long the game has been opened for? I'd just like to see how many hours I have been playing in total.
Thanks.
I currently have a 1660 super and a ryzen 3 3100. What should I upgrade first, cpu or gpu? And what should I upgrade to? My budget is around $200-$400
No plans. Designing on the go!
Hello everyone,
Currently I am having this issue with my browser (firefox), if i search something, it tracks and redirects links from this website first tatrck.com, I dont know how to remove it, I though its due to origin ublock and removed it still does it.
any tips?
Hello,
I was gaming earlier and had no problems at all and left my PC on stand by as I went off to do something else and came back and it was turned off,
I tried the power button several times and then turned the PSU on and off, there is power as the CPU and GPU fans come on,
The front fans don’t come nor does the back fan and the lights flicker as if there’s not enough power,
What’s also worth noting is that the VGA light on the motherboard is flashing white,
I’ve checked all connections and it seems fine,
Any thoughts?
TIA
Lately my PC has been losing signal to the monitors so I would power off and back on as a quick “fix”. Now it won’t go past the MSI start up screen, it won’t even allow me to enter BIOS. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Hello I Bought a Z240 workstation a while ago with integrated graphics well i wanted to upgrade to a gtx 750 or gtx 750 ti but i cant seem to know how much W's does my motherboard do also the power supply (btw the mother board is 802f)
Need experienced help
I have a Ryzen 3600 processor with 32gb of RAM, and feel like I should be getting better frames on most games than I do, and I think it's because my processor is too weak. I used to have a Radeon RX 570 with this processor, but upgraded about half a year ago. Should I upgrade my CPU, or is it not bottlenecking. If so, what is recommended to go with this graphics card. Thanks.
I have a lenovo PC desktop with 8GB on it I'm not sure what year or even how to find the make & model. I am wanting to upgrade Ram to atheist 16. What Ram would I need to buy? Or can one of you fine people direct me to finding out what my PC actually is. Can I just add another 8GB to the already existing card? And will I need to upgrade anything else when I do this. I'm wanting to upgrade so I can run my Albion online game and my overworlf/outplayed app to screen record. I have been searching a lot on what to do and how to do it but it all seems so confusing. I would like to just play my game with perfect FPS with enough Ram & memory. To do all this. Any help is appreciated. And again I'm completely new at this. Thank you in advance.
