G448 Crashing in Fornite again
Previous fix was to update to the latest bios. No issues with that. No we are crashing again. Nvidia is on latest bios. Just changed the video settings to render in DX11 mode to see if that will fix it. I wouldn't ask for the new bios if I knew where to find it. I don't. I didn't see a place where to get files. Either way,…

Please Build A Micro Center In Omaha, NE
I think that you should build a Micro Center In Omaha, Nebraska because of these reasons: 1. The only place to get parts for computers in Omaha Is Best Buy and they only have 3 kinds of GPU's. 2. I know that a lot of people will go there to get pc parts, tech repair, etc. 3. Please don't take this as a bribe and I will be…

Has Microcenter looked into opening a Tampa Store?
I mean it's long overdue opening a store in Florida but in Miami at the moment is a long haul from Tampa. It's disappointing that the only option on the West Coast of Florida is a Bestbuy and their options are slim and limited. The only options outside of Bestbuy is Amazon or Mom and Pops shops.

Oregon location possibility
Have we heard any inklings of a possibility of a Oregon location?
