Hey all. I'm building my friend a budget computer for CSGO only. They literally only play CSGO. They have peripherals already, so tell me what you think: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Shallyyy/saved/#view=PhDnLk I know I'll need a CPU to give the motherboard a bios update!

Is a fresh install the same as Windows reset?

I ran it there, I just got a lot of pup's, nothing too concrete

What's the scan do?

I'm thinking of doing a fresh install of Windows, would you agree?

So during the week I was playing a CS:GO game with friends when my screen turned blue and it told me someone was attempting to remote desktop into my computer. Being in the heat of the moment in CS:GO I thought a application was requesting permission so I clicked accept, and immediately realized what I had done. I turned off my PC instantly as I windows wasn't responding to me anymore. The user that did this had a windows name as windowsuac. Now that's very close to Windows UAC, User Access Control. But when I google windowUAC altogether I get no results. Now when turning on my PC this morning I noticed three new accounts had been created on my machine, sub, admins, and windowsuac. They all had Administrator powers, which I removed immediately. I never made these accounts. So, is Windows being strange and doing all this itself or should I be worried something has entered my System?

I'll swap PSU first and see from there so!

Might do this so. Is there any way to monitor how much wattage my PSU is using?

Yeah stock paste iirc

Yeah CPU I'm guessing is fine. Only reason why I'm not 100% convinced it's the PSU is the weird CPU fan not turning on occasionally and the BIOS saying it's -55C!

Would any other component cause insta shut offs without warnings?

Orange, here:

Corsair VS450! Maybe it is the power so?

Hi folks, So my PC never had this issue before, but when booting up half-life Alyx my PC died. It did this a few times after too, but at different points in the game. I've checked thermals and my PC never seems to be getting above 70C. Now it's started happening wth another game GTFO. After the PC dies when I turn it back on the CPU fan stops spinning and won't start spinning until after I turn it off by the PSU and back on. I've updated the BIOS and that didn't work either! SPecs: 3700x w/ wraith prism cooler 1070ti Strix 16GB DDR4 450w PSU Also, my BIOS once told me my CPU temps were -55C, any idea why?

Same, maybe it's new to America? I've had it a week.

Well well...

Whoop! How do we get them?

I used to get between 400k-550k ppd but recently it's been 270k on both CPU and GPU. Any reason why this might happen?

Does this mean 835 people are participating in this months folding event?

Woah I'm literally exactly halfway at position 418, that's cool

I know they aren't run on an ordinary PC and on some mega server, but Hypixel has always been very laggy for me and suffers many regular interrupts. Also game modes like factions is completely broken by ranks and real-money purchases, so it would be nice to have something similar that doesn't have loads of OP ranks. Honestly I wouldn't imagine they paid for everything out of their pocket, they would have gotten a lot at least some for free. And the two videos they plan on making for this server will pay for some of the costs so I wouldn't imagine this is going to be a P2W server, imo.

Let's be real, that's not why they did this. They did this for a video or two, that would also have the added benefit of giving it's community an ultra-fast Minecraft server, something that is fairly rare. I hate playing those "older servers" because their sooooo damn slooooow, and constantly getting pressured into buying ranks and sets and items. If this is done right, and isn't money driven like those other servers, this could be an amazing choice.

"I got a 14271 for the first time today, seems pretty OP for my underclocked and undervolted Vega 64 " What does that mean

So why is a high PRCG better?
