PowerSpec G721 Prebuilt Repeatedly Crashing
Bought a new PowerSpec G721 a couple months ago, and within the first week of owning it my computer started crashing at random intervals. I took it into my local MicroCenter branch in Cambridge, only to be told it wasn't a hardware issue and that it was software related. The only advice given to me was to factory reset.…

I first chose the components that I wanted on Micro Center and nothing popped up about any physical constraints such as RAM clearance with CPU coolers. Then, I found out about PC parts picker and I chose the exact components and got a pop up saying some…

PowerSpec B945 Desktop Computer - Adding 3.5" drives
I have found the two bays for the 3.5" HDD as well as the 2.5" SSD but the cabling is all bunched up and in bundled via a tie strap next to the PS. I'm a bit leery to just pull on the cables and thought maybe it would be best to disconnect the PS from the chaises and get the cables needed for the drives. I'll also need to…

Are G522 top USB ports fully powered (equivilent to back ports)?
Hi, Just wondering if the age old common advice to use only rear USB ports to connect USB powered accessories, ie external optical drives, is still relevant, in particular to my PC, the G522. For such "occasional use" devices (as an external optical drive), it would really be inconvenient to use a rear USB port on the…

Where's the legacy specs for Power Specs on Powerspec.com
Am I missing something? Where is the legacy spec page on Powerspec.com? I even asked store associates and no one knows. One of the best parts about buying a prebuild Power Spec is you had access to the specs LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG after every other OEM made it impossible to find. I have a 4-year-old PC that I can't find…

It's Stormy Season, how old is your UPS battery?
Batteries in your UPS do have a finite lifespan, if you are hearing the beeps to replace the battery; look at replacing that bad boy. If you are more than a year, be weary. Power requirements are growing too. But protect your computing investment with a decent UPS/Battery Backup, it may even serve to protect the hard work…

WD Ready View app not working on iPad after latest ‘bug fix’ update
I’ve had my WD Ready View system for a few years now with no issues. I have had the app installed on both my iPad and iPhone with no issues until now… last week the app updated v 1.2.1 with ‘bug fixes’.

AMD Build for development
Hello, I'm a software engineer looking to build a PC. I'll be running Linux (Mint) as the OS. I do not do gaming. The biggest load the PC will experience is embedded Linux builds. These will usually utilize all available cores to parallelize the compile. These can last 1-2 hours (depends). I have some specs I know I need,…
