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…
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…
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…
We just had the power supply, video card, and cooling fan upgraded on a computer we bought at Microcenter, but I've plugged it in and the hard drive light is flashing red, plus nothing shows on the monitor. Before I drag it back in, is there anything else I can do? Everything is connected properly.
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…
I am an Esports organizer in the Indianapolis area and I'm looking to connect with a representative or brand manager for the upcoming Indianapolis store. I just heard it was opening, it turns out I live down the street! If someone could direct me to a name or send me a direct message that would be very helpful! Happy…
Hello, I was wondering why I haven't gotten an email towards my order being confirmed because I ordered a monitor and haven't gotten an email and it is not showing up in my order history. So I was wondering if the order went through because this is my first time buying something from micro center online, and I have already…
Have a family member that's a lawyer. I know, but not the sueing type, more setting up wills, legal documents etc. Recently their laptop, a old Microsoft of some kind died and cannot be revived. Not sure if we will be able to retrieve her data as of yet. So we'd like to set up, as cheaply as possible, not all lawyers are…
Thinking of getting there a couple hours early in case people camp. Any confirmation if it's even going to be available?
Hello! I am having a very difficult time finding a solid answer/tutorial on how to undervolt a Ryzen 5 5600X CPU. Anyone have any helps they could share? Any advice? Thanks in advance.
Hello to all. I am thinking about upgrading my old ASUS K50IJ laptop hard drive with a solid state drive. The old HDD is a 300GB and I'd like to up the storage to 1TB SSD. The processor is a 2.0 Gigahertz Pentium Dual Core T4200, with 4 megabytes of memory. It is running Windows 10 Home (x64). I am looking to replace the…
Many of your desktops above $3000 that have 1TB SSD, 32GB are already outdated by far. Is there anyway we can make a purchase of a Dell, ASUS or PowerSpec desktop and have Microcenter tech modify them with larger SSDs+DDR5 memory there? Of course that will be extra. I'm being forced to make an Amazon purchase of such a…
The prebuilt I purchased came with an off-shoot z490 plus motherboard made by MSI. I accidentally deleted the "mystic lighting" application that was for some reason preinstalled and placed on my desktop screen and now I cant get it back. The Dragon center application is not compatible and says that it is being blocked by…
Hi, I have some fans, a computer case, video card and a PSU that I bought outside of MicroCenter. If I use those parts alongside parts I bought at MicroCenter, can I pay a MicroCenter employee to build it? Or would all the parts have to be from MicroCenter?
Hello, I am currently looking for good gaming laptops that will last me a while. I am in grad school and like to play video games but currently only have console games. I would love to get a desktop eventually but due to space, cost, and time I can't go into that yet. That is why I would love some suggestions for a solid…
