I have a PowerSpec PC that has intermittent crashing while playing games that should be well within the specs of the PC. The problem is, it's not consistently reproducible. Unsurprisingly my local Microcenter ran some diagnostics and the issue didn't occur. They say because they can't reproduce, there's nothing they can…

Hiya. I need to RMA a motherboard that I bought from microcenter. I need an invoice to register the product with the manufacturer for an RMA since I'm over the allotted store warranty. Is there a way to get a copy of my invoice sent to me so that I can get my board fixed?
Hi, I'm sorry if this is dumb question; I don't often make large purchases online. I ordered a Lenovo IdeaCentre 5 Gaming PC on Saturday and it is set to be delivered to my house tomorrow, so that is exciting. However, my bank is still pending the transaction, and the money hasn't been taken out. Is it normal for it to…

I wish to use a higher capacity per-module variant (same spec, manufacturer, model); can I still get the combo discount, and simply pay the difference in retail between the…

Would ideally like to upgrade it with parts if possible and if I…
Hello! This is my first time building a gaming PC and I have very little knowledge on how to build one.

I'm looking into putting my 2 desktops into my server rack and then run as few cables as possible to my 2 desks, one about 15ft away and another about 50ft away. My first initial plan is to use a thunderbolt 4 hub for each computer and run a thunderbolt 4 cable to both desks. I'm wanting to make sure I can run 2 monitors…

I bought the PowerSpec G357 about 4 months ago and the fans that came with it were always flashing many colors. There was no Aura Sync program preinstalled to control the lights and when I downloaded the program it doesn't work with the Asus Prime Z390-P motherboard so perhaps the lights around the fans are not RGB but…
