I just bought a new RTX 3090 MSI GAMING X TRIO and I am unable to play any DirectX games such as Cyberpunk and Battlefront II on Windows 10. I have been able to play Vulkan games though such as Read Dead Online and Hades. I do have a 850W power supply and have been running hardware monitor to make sure it is not drawing…
Hello, so I just bought this Pc at MicroCenter and I'm really new to these things. Is there any way for me to add an external SSD to my desktop? If so, can you guys give me the links/articles/steps on how to do it? If not, can I install Linux(Ubuntu) in the external hard drive and plug it in my desktop. (Any help will be…
I recently purchased a G436 gaming computer that has a MSI Z490 Plus motherboard. I would like to add an additional RGB strip light along the bottom of the case (it's really dark down there :-) that will play nice with the current RGB fan setup which is controlled by the Mystic Light app. There is a 3 pin jumper available…

I purchased an Asus Rampage III Formula motherboard several years ago. Can anyone tell what RAM memory I would need to upgrade the RAM? Thank you.
Hello--I read on this forum and reviews that this issue is common and was told by the store when I purchased the pc that there have been a lot of returns due to the screen going black and the system reboots without warning. I was informed that it was an incompatible memory issue and was advised to buy the correct one…
Any idea on if you guys will stock this? if not known, generally when do you guys know if you'll have items? MSI said they should be shipping them to distributors in a few weeks.
Today I booted up my computer and went to steam. As I hit download on Garry's mod my desktop just died. Now when I try to turn it on my fans spin for a second then stop. My mother board and case are lighting up so I dont know what's going on.
Hey there! My church is looking to buy a new desktop to simultaneously run Google Slides (for presentation at our worship services) and OBS (to stream those services) on dual monitors. We're open to buying new or refurbished and would require HDMI and (preferably) wifi capabilities. We are trying to stay under $500, but…
Planning to go to Micro Center at Tustin at 5am in the morning for a GPU but worring about how they form the line. Does that mean you will have to stay out there until they open the door at 10? Has anyone here who had done this before?

I have a bunch of 20 yr old games (Medal of Honor, Combat Flight Sim 1,2,3, etc), and I want a PC that can play those old disc's. Do you have a refurbished PC, of can you build one that can do that?

A very good day, I have a PC I9 10900K with Nvidia Titan RTX video card with 24 GB mem. This card has a USB Type C connector. Is any way that I can use Apple MWPE2LL/A Pro Display XDR 32" Retina 6K 60Hz Thunderbolt 3 USB-C Standard Glass IPS LED Monitor? I have a 43" Dell 4K that is fading away and the other question I…
When will we see the wide availability of the new AMD Ryzen 5, 7, and 9 CPU's? I'll probably be looking for the Ryzen 5, 5600X at the Micro Center at Overland Park, KS, but I'm sure many of us around the US are waiting for any 1 of these 3 CPU's. I do not understand the delay - and I don't even care to hear about any…
I have a PowerSpec G467 that's only a couple weeks old. Very satisfied with it so far, but I've noticed something weird with the two front case fans. First, I noticed that the fans were spinning at different speeds in HWMonitor -- one at around 1400rpm, the other at around 800rpm. After that, I physically traced the fan…

I dont know what to do other than ask for help as I have done a bunch of google searches and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers using ddu twice. I am…
Some of us out here don't know what overclocking is, and other's don't see the need to overclock. But then there are those that are overclocking beyond the limits of conventional builds, integrating dry ice to try and squeeze every drop of power from their CPU. How tough are you?
I used my laptop as normal on Wednesday for a Zoom meeting, no issues. I tried to log into my Zoom meeting on Friday morning, and all I'm getting is a black screen. The camera function is working correctly, it's just not displaying anything but a black screen. I've rebooted the laptop twice, checked the camera permissions,…
I need to re-install ESET NOD32 AV4...am having difficulty...
I want to buy an iPhone, my first one. The product descriptions say either 'remanufactured' or 'refurbished'. Does this mean those particular phones have been used and returned? Thanks.
I just bought a new G436 system from microcenter. Upon power on i noticed that none of the RGB lights work. I have performed all of the recommended fixes including uninstall mystic light, sdk and dragon center. Install the latest version of dragon center currently 2.0.100.0. Nothing gets the lights working. Microcenter…
I purchased the Powerspec G467 a few weeks ago. This system features the Asus TUF RTX 3080. Unfortunately, the case chosen is poorly ventilated. The front is completely solid with some small vents on the side. Everyone knows the RTX 30 series cards run hot. Needless to say, after about 3 to 3.5 hrs of gaming, the system…
The new year is almost upon us, and with it come new opportunities for upgrades, fresh starts, and overhauls. I think it may be time to finally swap out my 7-year-old motherboard/processor, and, with that, maybe rebuild in a nice new Lian Li case. Y'all got any big plans for your PCs this year? New builds you want to…
Can run on OC ? just wondering
Hi, I have an Inland Premium 1Tb SSD(boot drive) which I had for about a few months now. I suspect the ssd is failing as when I boot up my PC I am getting a "proper Boot device" error. Already looked through BIOS and everything so... I have the receipt from 07/07/2020. So how should RMA this Inland SSD? Thanks
