Lost fan settings after update bios Powerspec G474
I updated the bios of my Powerspec G474 to MSI version E7D25IMS.AG0 because the computer was turning off randomly.

PowerSpec G476 (5 mo. old) Crashing at Random
I am apparently having a similar problem to the one posted by Kap0604 last September: Was there a resolution to this issue? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to when this happens; the display goes black and the computer freezes, and my only option seems to be to shut it down and restart.

What would be the best way to remove old drivers on a Powerspec G510?
I've got the driver compatibility message box at start-up about old drivers like ene.sys and MsIo64.sys. According to this other post (https://community.microcenter.com/discussion/12010/where-can-i-find-an-updated-driver-for-mslo64-sys), the drivers were related to Aura and RGB software. I don't use the color settings at…

G518 Crashing while idle and playing games
Hello, recently I bought a G518 PowerSpec PC since my previous PC was struggling a lot. For the first 2-3 weeks it was working very well, but as of late, it keeps crashing without showing any BSoD.

G711 Strange Issue
So I've had the PowerSpec G711 for about 2 months now, running mostly fine until it doesn't. This has happened twice so far, but whenever I'm playing any title it seems like the entire PC and sound will stutter to say 10 FPS and look like a very quick slideshow for about three seconds. Then it returns to normal. I'm not…

PowerSpec G517 Prebuilt Gaming PC Randomly Restarting
I recently purchased a PowerSpec G517, and it's been restarting every few hours. It happens when I'm gaming, and when I'm not. Like I said, completely random.

Question re: Lian Li ATX205 for PowerSpec G436 build
I purchased the G436 back in January 2021 and with a few modifications it's been a very good system for me. I would normally build my PC but as you may remember back during the height of Covid there were literally zero decent GPU's to be had on the open market and buying a pre-built was the only way to get ahold of the…

G232 not turning on
My powerspec G232 has sat for about a month, and when I tried to turn it on the power led will just blink and the desktop won't fully boot. I held down the power button to force a restart and re-seated the RAM, which were two things I found online to try, but neither worked. What else can I try?
