Hello! Welcome to the Micro Center Community. Today I'm going to be covering one of the most common issues that we hear about: “My monitor isn’t showing anything!” There’s a lot of different things that could cause this, but there are a few things you can do pretty quickly to troubleshoot it yourself. Click the links below…
I'm hoping someone from MC can help me out here. I ordered a set of fans online that I need to return but the chat for Shipping and Account Questions has been offline since yesterday. Is there another way I can get this process started? I want to make this return so I can order the other fans I want instead. Thanks.
I will ask a simple question for my FIRST ever post here.... Who is winning in the CPU side of things... intel, or amd? and why. Who is winning with the GPUs.... Nvidia or AMD... once again... why? I feel like AMD is winning with CPUs and unfortunately.... Nvidia is still winning with GPUs... beyond that point... I wanna…
This air cooler was installed by a local shop in May 2022 after i failed with trying to install Be Quiet Pure Rock 2 Myself, anyways wanting to try and get cooling all good before i upgrade to a Geforce 3060 card or 4060 card in the future. I know probably be best if i just get an entire new case with airflow in mind…
Does the Community or anyone can say if Micro Center still offer Classes in Computer System?
Recently picked up an Lian Li O11D Mini marked Open Box Complete condition. Everything looked pretty good otherwise but I noticed some hardware missing, notably the MB standoffs and screws. A few of the magnetic dust covers were missing as well. Is there a recommended course of action? I'd rather not return.
My Canon came with simplified free version of Corel VideoStudio, which frankly I find wretched. What is everyone using to edit video? I don't mind paying one time but I refuse to get sucked into Adobe's subscription nightmare. I mainly just need to trim out excess startup time and maybe trailing time and also the camera…
Thx!
Hi, I bought a CPU-MB-RAM bundle (7700x+MSI PRO B650-p wifi+G.Skill ddr5 16GBx2) from micro center last Thursday, and during my system-building process, I found that my motherboard is defective. After booting the system with the original BIOS (which is V13), it says "Over Current Have Been Detected On Your USB Device!!".…
Perhaps it's Edge, but having taken the time to write a review, and not be able to post it because "adblockers prevented your review submission" - won't be wasting that time again. Pop-Ups allowed, adblockers disabled, yeah yeah yeah.... Oh - PS - don't buy the LG 24MQ450-B.... you'd know why, if I could have posted the…
I have a laptop that is 7 years old and still runs well but freezes occasionally and always says waiting for the cache. The hard drive needs to be replaced because of a bad sector and I was wondering if I could replace the CPU as well. It is an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.60 GHz. I can't afford a new laptop…
When I play Dead By Daylight I go from 65 frames to 5 when I turn my screen if I keep it still there is way less frame drop. Is there any way to fix this issue? CPU Intel 9th Generation Core i7 Motherboard ASRock B365M IB-R RAM 48 GB GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER graphics Operating System windows 10 This is my system I…
I've had this issue with my monitor for a while now where the bottom portion of the screen flickers for several minutes after I first turn on my system. It only does this after I've left my PC off for more than a couple consecutive days, and the flickering is worse and/or lasts longer if my PC has been off for longer…
On Sunday, I purchased MSI THIN GF63 12HW-001 15.6" Laptop Computer - Black for my wife as she simply needs something to watch Netflix on while doing some basic photo editing. I updated everything that was available from Windows Update, and also updated drivers from MSI. While using the laptop, my wife kept having the…
I would have asked this question of customer support but couldn't find any (the chat button wouldn't work even though I tried it in 3 different browsers and the national number, once I asked for a build support person, rang for 3 minutes before hanging up on me). Unfortunately, MC is a 4 hr round trip for me so I can't…
Currently have an old Asus RT-AC3200. Wanting to run private gaming server[s] (Specifically ARK right now). The issue I've run into is ARK Server Manager *specifically* requires NAT Loopback, aka NAT Reflection, aka NAT Hairpining functionality. My current router does not have this nor does any third party firmware like…
I logged into my account today and noticed I am a Micro Center Member. I also noticed that it says "Completely free until 2024". This kind of has me worried. Does this mean I will be charged for some kind of renewal come 2024 or will it give me the option? I do not want this membership if I am going to be charged for it…
I understand that maybe around $100–$200 USD would be an okay price for such a service, but 500? to clean a small loop? Why does it seem like Microcenter is going overboard with this price? I don't understand. It's basically the price of a brand new loop for my system.
Anyone know why new members get free SSD drives and those of us that shopped here many times before don't? Any benefit for loyalty?
What is your experience with open box products from Micro Center? I am going to purchase a motherboard as an open box and was wondering if open box was a good option.
reinstalled windows now the touch screen does not work. how to fix.
I submitted photos of my build, and listed cpu, motherboard, graphics card, memory, storage, power supply and case. I am not missing any components.
My L drive, 2TB HDD (ST2000DM008-2FR102) suddenly started being really slow when opening or moving files from the drive. Some programs installed on that drive won't open at all. Steam no longer recognizes games I have installed on the drive either. Clicking through folders or sometimes scrolling through results in Windows…
So ever since I upgraded my system I have been getting blue screens. It first started when I had my old hard drive in and I went to test the new build with playing a game. It would blue screen and I would be fine playing for 20 minutes until it happened. I got annoyed and went out and bought an NVME SSD and put that in and…
I bought the PowerSpec G357 about 4 months ago and the fans that came with it were always flashing many colors. There was no Aura Sync program preinstalled to control the lights and when I downloaded the program it doesn't work with the Asus Prime Z390-P motherboard so perhaps the lights around the fans are not RGB but…
Hi anyone/everyone, My S/O has had some issues while playing overwatch where her wired ethernet connection will drop connection from the computer. It is isolated to her computer as mine does not ever lose its wired connection. We have double checked connections to both the computer and router and both connections are…
Apologies if this might be the wrong forum category to be asking this. I have 6-7 year old PC that I built and it has Windows 10 on it. I've gotten notifications for upgrading to Windows 11, however the PC does not meet the minimum requirements for the upgrade. I've heard that you can use the same product key for Windows…
My Winbook CW140 has been a great laptop for the last few years, love it and recommend it. Recently, however, it will not power up. The battery was fairly low last weekend and I was able to power it up. During startup, I plugged the power cable into the AC adapter to get ready to plug the computer into wall power. When I…
The User spilled half of a cup of apple juice onto his PC. The bother board took the brunt of the force. After using a multimeter to run some test, it is clear the mother board is no longer good. My question is this, will i need to replace all the major components like the processor, ram, and gpu? Is it to risky to…
I see that micro center does assembly. But I was wondering if we can bring our own parts for a specialist to build or are the offers on the website only with components bought at micro center.
Drove 2 hours back and forth, 4 hours total, to Microcenter. To get a 250 USD 5800x3d Open Box. Looked terrible, scuffed ink or something all over the IHS, but thought hey it must work right? Surely they would test it. Nope, it's a dead CPU. B550 board. Have latest BIOS, tried ram in every slot. Waited forever, tried…
