That's what worries me, my issues are that it only happens when I'm playing modern games that put the computer under a decent amount of load, and it's unpredictable. Sometimes crashes after 30 mins of gameplay, sometimes 4 hours. Sometimes it's a BSOD, sometimes it just black screen crashes and...

Honestly at this point I feel like I haven't had a PC since I got it from PCS, so getting it RMA'd would just be another normal day. The level of competence I am at with internal PC harware is knowing what a CPU, GPU and RAM is, anything else and I'm lost. The motherboard and all the different...

With all due respect, if it's a hardware problem that's not our responsibility to solve or even check. If I was comfortable with taking apart my computer hardware I would have just bought the parts myself to begin with and assembled it. I barely know what I'm doing with all this software...

I'm in pretty much the same position as you, my build is very similar, I have the 3600X CPU, same GPU, half your ram but same speed and brand, and the 1 TB version of your M.2 drive. The PC is fine until I want to do something on it that actually makes it work, if I'm just web browsing or...

Honestly I waited because it wasn't a big enough issue at first, happened like once a month, but now it's happening every couple days.

Here is the full specs: Case CORSAIR CRYSTAL SERIES 460X RGB GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 3600X Six Core CPU (3.8GHz-4.4GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE: DDR4, USB 3.1 - RGB Ready Memory (RAM) 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB) Graphics...

I've been having this problem pretty much since I got the PC from PCS last year where occasionally (seemingly randomly) it will fail to boot properly from the SSD Windows is installed on. It will still recognise that the SSD exists in the boot menu, it just wont boot. This is what I get...

The PC has always been connected to my router via ethernet cable since I first installed Windows 2 weeks ago. I'm just curious how this randomly happened and the only reason I can think of is the Windows update it was halfway through configuring... but why? I'm scared to restart and go back into...

So after leaving a glowing review about my new PCS computer and thinking it was all going to be sunshine and rainbows going forward, I fell asleep watching a Twitch stream today, and when I woke up for some reason my PC was in the BIOS menu. Weird I thought.. but no problem, let's just exit...

I'm not too versed on what a NAS is and what makes it different from a regular external drive, I've heard the term before and know a lot of content creators use them but outside of that nothing.

That's the plan! Nothing too crazy though, just stuff I don't use enough to qualify being on the M.2. Might even just use full SSD depending on what the prices are like in 6 months. I've run games installed on an external SSD connected through USB 3 before and they were perfectly fine, though to...

Hey guys! I've had my new PC for almost 2 weeks now, so I think it's time to share my experience with it. To begin with I'd like to thank the moderators on this forum for the amazing job you do with recommendations and advice, as that really helped me create a system where everything works well...

Yes thank you so much guys for the new "gaming surface". I'd been thinking about getting a larger one for some time, and I love it! Though it has some issues actually fitting on my desk with the new monitor. :LOL:

Again that is a bit overkill on the CPU, and the RAM is weaker than I'd go for in a gaming rig. I'm not sure on your budget but here is an AMD rig that is well balanced you could look at, and less expensive than your current overkill builds. Also wasn't sure on your case preference so you will...

If it's purely for gaming the Threadripper is a waste, that's a heavy workload CPU intended for things like heavy video editing and rendering. I'd take a Ryzen 5 3600 (or 3600X if you want the free game) instead, then you can also use some money to upgrade the RAM (I'd go for 3000mhz minimum)...

The aftermarket cooler I got actually has a much bigger heatsink (and slightly bigger fan) than the AMD wraith spire cooler that would come included, so if anything at least there is a good chunk more thermal mass to play with. Maybe you are right though, having been an Intel user for many years...

So today is the day, gonna place my order in the morning :) This is my final build, to get the most balanced system I can with everyone's advice. Any last minute changes you guys think I should go for? Hard budget of £1500 that has to include the monitor. Case CORSAIR CRYSTAL SERIES 460X RGB...

You are taking a shower. It’s not the type of shower you take before a job interview, maybe aiming for your cleanliness to impress somebody or someone supposedly worthy of impressing, nor is it the type of shower you take after a long workout at the gym or after a jog, or after whatever it is...

Thanks for the advice :) What does the NVMe drive do that the SX one doesn't? Honestly the motherboard choice I based on looks lol, the Aorus looked prettier. Not sure what I would use the gen 2 USB 3.1 for, if I need more storage I will put another SSD inside rather than external.

Yeah my current PC is a crappy 4-5 year old (came with a GTX 960 so just after that released I guess) Zoostorm prebuild that came with Windows 10 already installed, later replaced the failing HDD with a new one and bought this new copy of Windows at the same time. From what you've said it's...
