Hi, I'm working on getting my PowerSpec G455 (motherboard & operating system) replaced following confirmation that my SPI chip is corrupted. The PC is presently with Micro Center in St. Davids, PA. As Tier 3 techs know but Tier 1's haven't a clue, upon OOBE the SPI chip initiates provisioning. In my case, the SPI chip…

Hey there, I purchased a PowerSpec 91644 in Feburary 2026 from the Madison Heights, MI store. It's still under the 1-year warranty. The GPU is failing with repeated hard lockups, Event Viewer showing nvlddmkm FECS UCODE fatal errors and TDRs, plus sensor logs showing the GPU going unresponsive at 39°C under a 55W load with…

I also have 1000w instead of the 850w. undervolt maybe???? If so, how?

When is Microcenter going to build a location in Jacksonville Florida? We have no tech stores within a 320 mile radius. You'd have people from Orlando to Savannah to Tallahassee driving to this location. It's one of the fastest growing cities in the Country. The St. John's Town Center would be the perfect location. It's…

I'm guessing I'm due for a few upgrades having just replaced the graphics card listed here. Anyone have suggestions to keep me top-notch? My budget is humble. • CPU: AMD R7 7800X3D • GPU: AMD RX 9070XT • MOBO: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2 • RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5 • SSD: Crucial M.2 2280 P3 Plus 2TB PCIe…

Hello everyone, My name is Eric, a NYC based PC technician and builder. I recently started a monthly community initiative called the NYC PC Giveaway. Each month, I personally build and give away one custom desktop PC to a New York City resident (or a parent/guardian entering on behalf of a minor). The goal is to help local…

I purchased the G481 from Microcenter recently and the PC can with a Gigabyte Aorus Elite X Ice motherboard. Can I download updated drivers and the bios for my PC's motherboard directly from Gigabyte's website form the Aorus Elite X Ice motherboard page? Thank you…

Rather than listing each individual brand/type/color and flooding the page with 24/48/96 results of the same filament in a different color, could we have the filament listed just by brand/type and leave the color selection on the product page? It already shows all other colors when you do select one anyway, but having all…

Bought new laptop few days ago and was wondering where to access the bundled code deal since this laptop has the 5060. Reference Number: 171-PO-10454425

I recently got a B947 and haven't been inside yet. One obvious difference from the last time I had a 'tower' style case is that the front is all fans…no place for a DVD drive (yeah, I have vacuum tubes too, just no 78 records). I also want to install one or two internal SATA drives. It came with cables, and I see…

Bakersfield is an expanding city in a great central location where people would love a Micro Center to go to without having to travel to LA. Please consider this!

I made a purchase on Sunday. It was the wrong item so I returned it on Monday. Today is Thursday and it still hasn't been refunded in my bank account. How long do refunds typically take to finalize?

Today I tried to make a purchase at the Parkville, MD store. I had a SSD I ordered online to pickup, and some PSN cards I was getting for a gift. At the register I used my Micro Center Insider card, swiped it, and it behaved as if I never did. I tried this multiple times with no luck. The store created a temp card, tried…

A new Atari game image for our Atari Games SD card and Atari Raspberry Pi Kit went live this week, so those of you who have already built a system with our card can now install the new image. This particular image adds about 30 new games, including several from the Atari 5200 library. As future updates become available…

I have the pi with the Atari Case, and I bought the big tank with the track ball. Somewhere I lost the micro sd and I have around 30 cards but is there a way to get the most recent disk image? Thanks.

I think someone answered this but my email has changed so if they sent it there, I won’t get it, do you need the new?

Greetings, Somehow my Atari image became corrupt and I can no longer access it or the original image to restore it. Is there any chance for someone to resend me the download link so I can reimage my SD card? Thanks in advance! Brian

Had to reinstall bios but I see the bios that came with the computer had necessary settings for my pc to run normally but after reinstalling I run things like my ram speed slower than before. Would like to know if its possible for the G507 bios and if I could get the file to flash it. thanks again !

Hi, I have a PowerSpec G715 with an ASRock B550M-C motherboard. My current BIOS is P1.60C. Call of Duty is saying that my BIOS firmware needs to be updated because the Attestation Compatibility Check failed. Could someone from PowerSpec/Micro Center confirm the latest compatible BIOS for my Powerspec G715 is and where I…

We desperately need one over here. Closest one is Charlotte which is basically a 2 hour drive, so not impossible. But it is not somewhere we can just pop in whenever we want here. I can assure you that you guys would have plenty of business over here. Would love to be able to stop in whenever I wanted. Hopefully we see one…

Hi all! I'm new here. 😊 I recently purchased a prebuilt ASUS PC and I am very happy with it! I spent $2,600 at Best Buy for it.

Congratulations on your HUGE Grand Reopening today. I arrived at about 10:30 to join the festivities, but could not believe the line to get in. It stretched all the way into the next parking lot for Ohio Health imaging center. By all appearances, it was going to be at least 2 hours to get into the store. Sadly, my feet…
