G714 Memory Issues
I have a G714 that's a couple years old now, and I've always had BSOD/instability and the restart issues but somehow just discovered this support area tonight. I flashed my BIOS up to 1MC and that fixed the restart issue, but the instability has gotten notably worse. I tried various combinations of one or both RAM sticks…

Want to install an additional SSD in my PowerSpecB751
I am looking to replace my current external USB HDs with an internal SSD. I see that it has 3 PCIe x 16 expansion slots.

14900KF issues
I have a PowerSpec G474 with an Intel 14900KF CPU. It's been pretty unstable since I purchased it. Frequent crashes, screen goes black, and nothing of use in the Event Viewer that I can see, just that the previous shutdown was "unexpected."

Can I buy something for pickup and have someone else pick it up?
I would like to buy a PC part for a friend and have them go and pick up it at a store they have nearby. Is this possible? The answers I've seen so far are that the person would have to go there, provide the order details and their own form of payment. Does that mean they'd have to pay for it at the store instead, making my…

WHY are gift cards not accepted as online payment?
I was happy to see Micro Center does online orders -- researched my products, created an order and...extremely disappointed I cannot use the giftcard I received over the holidays. As I understand it, the cards can be purchased, and redeemed, in any store, so they are not store specific, so what's the deal? Seeing as I'm 2…
