Here's the background. I'm using my build as normal, and I run the python.exe I have stored on my internal 3.5" HDD through the SATA port. I get BSOD, and after the reboot Windows can no longer detect my hard drive in File Explorer nor anywhere in Disk Management. I reboot into the BIOS and the SATA ports are Enabled and…
I was wondering if someone could check this build and see if there is anything you would change? https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder-intel.aspx?load=ecc19fd6-5d52-46fa-abdf-4d997a7055a4The case im just ordered is…
I can't get Task Manager to open and I'm constantly getting the following message when trying to download software - "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item"
Hey guys new to the PC gaming community, wanted to ask a question. Can I build a better PC with a $900 budget then the Powerspec G163 ($799)?
If I purchased the full service warranty from MicroCenter when I bought an HP Omen, then I went to Indiana for school and caused screen damage in the covered period, could I mail the laptop into the store or would I need to drive to a store? The closest store is more than two hours away.
I love the computer except for the temperature. When I play a game on it, the thing reaches insane temperatures. I don't want my parts to be damaged from heat (it gets to around 100 degrees when gaming) or my lap to catch on fire. I have used it both on my lap pad as well as over a Targus cooling pad (AWE61) and it heats…
Hello, I am looking for this case. Anyone know where I could possibly find it? I didn’t see it on Micro Centers website. https://www.lian-li.com/pc-o11-wgx-rog-edition/
Merely curious if anyone else has seen this issue... An ASUS B550-F ROG Strix Gaming motherboard, when you connect the LAN, there are no activity lights. However, this is when the device is connected directly to the router (ATT Uverse). If I connect the same LAN port to a switch, it works fine. Multiple ports on the router…

I purchased a Refurbished Hp EliteDesk 800 GA SFF; it came with a KingFast SSD; I installed a new Seagate 2TB Sata drive and it is not detected by the desktop. I have used SATA 0, 1 & 2, still my 2nd hdd is not detected. What else can I try. At this point, I'm ready to return everything I purchased from Microcenter and go…
The laptop will not boot up. I inserted USB recovery drive, powered on and hit F12 until I got o recovery option. Drive Diagnostics indicated errors were found preventing recovery and indicated an attempt to back up data. I am not concerned with data as it is saved on cloud. Current screen says Recovery and Restore in…
Hey guys! The last 2 weeks have been really frustrating as my system just hard reboots when I start playing games like Remnant or Mortal Shell. I start loading the game and everything shuts off. This has happened before but very rarely and I've ignored it. I've tried many, many different things to fix this including:…
Hi all, After buying a PowerSpec G466, completing the setup, and downloading a game, I found that the PC would BSOD mere moments into a hectic scene. As it turns out, the BIOS for this PC is set to use XMP with a 3600MHz clock out of the box. This is far above the supported clock rate of the i9-10900KF that it has inside…
Hi Micro Center team, Will the AMD Athlon 3000G get a restock anytime soon? :( Also did the Ryzen 3 3300X ever sold at micro center???? Never saw any, only the 3100. Thanks!

I recently bought a RX5700XT Red Devil and a Gigabyte B550I pro ax, with an R5 3600. I put together the build in an NZXT H1 case, and it will not display anything. Went to family members house to troubleshoot. swapped my GPU for his which is a GTX760 and it works perfectly in my system. The weird thing is I put my RX5700XT…
Hi everyone! 🙋♂️ My name is Todd (aka Toro). I'm new around here 😅 (I plan on going over to the "New Members" section after this to formally introduce myself.) I'm having a serious problem with my PC build. This was my first build (SO fun!), and it's lasted about one year with little to no issues. Its main use is as a…
I have a b820 powerspec that is not getting any video. I tried a video card, power supply, memory and CPU from another working machine and it still does not work. I tried all of mine in the other machine and they work. Where can I get a motherboard for this machine? Thank you. btde211000bz AA g10217-303 B820071242186
It's flickering rapidly like a strobe light. I've tried different HDMI cables and plugging it into two different machines, no change. Refresh rate on monitor shows 60 and it's set on that on the PCs too. No change. Is it defective?
Inventory management is terrible at Rockville, MD store. I reserved 3 Borduinos and they could not find any in stock. There should be a new policy: free SD card for every partial reservation!!! #EpicFail
built a pc recently and everything turns on and spins but that light came on and it won't post or display on my screen. Tried changing the ram and gpu out with a friends and nothing happens
I purchased this product : https://www.microcenter.com/product/608649/inland-premium-2tb-ssd-3d-nand-m2-2280-pcie-nvme-30-x4-internal-solid-state-drive and I am running it with my Ryzen 7 2700x and MSI MPG x570 Gaming Edge Wifi motherboard. After I got it, I cloned my old SSD and after running CrystalDiskMark, I see that…
Hi there I recently bought the ASRock A320M-HDV R4.0 + Ryzen 5 3400g PowerSpec PC. From the start I would randomly get "Thread stuck in driver" blue screens of death. I updated all the drivers using WinZip Driver Updater. That slowed the BSODs down a bit, but I still get at least one daily, just playing Minecraft. I found…
To schedule with a technician to build a desktop for me, where is the option to make an appointment time on the website? The only option I see is making a repair appointment when I clicked the "schedule" button for repairs even at the PC assembly tier link. The only thing I can also think of is when you are in the repair…

I had just recently bought the PowerSpec G706, and after playing a few games of Rainbow 6, the PC would just shutdown randomly. I consulted with some friends who are pretty smart with computers and they recommended to update the drivers, in which I did. After that, I just shut my computer down for the night and when I woke…
I want to add a second screen so I can see two different screens at the same time. The laptop is running on Windows 10. I have an old screen with a 15 pin connection. Purchased a 15 pin to HDMI adopter. Windows 10 will not recognize the second screen. In settings the display box displays "1/2" rather than "screen 1 and 2".…
