Hi there, In my windows 10 my daughter plays Roblox with an xbox controller, when she finishes I close down and disconnect the game, however if I then press the start menu it acts like the tab button is being pressed and starts jumping around, or if i go to the WhatsApp app and click on a contact to type it instantly tabs to the left. If I reboot my computer it fixes the problem however I don't like that option, I have unplugged the controller so I know its not that and unplugged and replugged the keyboard and mouse back in, I have checked the Roblox game is killed in task manager I just don't get it. About 2 months ago I formatted and reinstalled everything thinking it was a virus and it turns out its not and its only happening after my daughter has been playing Roblox on my computer. Can anyone help shed some light on this and how I can prevent it. Thanks

Good afternoon, I have a desktop computer that I am hoping to use for 2 different scenarios at the same time. To start with here are my specifications: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Ram: 32GB 3600mhz (2 x 16 gb sticks) GPU: RTX 3060 12GB I have 3 NVME drives installed all 500GB 2 x 3TB HDD 1 x 2TB HDD 600W PSU What I want to do is run the windows 10 setup I have for gaming, however I would also like to have a separate OS running where I can run it as a plex box with things like Radarr running but only using the 2 x 3TB HDD's in raid format. I watched the 2 gamers one CPU video from LTT however I am not sure if that is the correct way to go and would like advice on the best way if possible. Thanks a million for any and all of your help. -Chalkie

Where do i find this said Tier list please?

Sorry its a CIT, however opening up the cover to check it out, I feel a little cheated as I was told it was Gold Plus certified, however it turns out its bronze certified, its the CiT 600W FX Pro 80+ power supply. I am going to upgrade the PSU regardless as I wanted a gold minimum to protect my parts.

Sorry the game will crash not the computer.

Good evening, I have built myself a new computer, the specs can be found here from the cpu-z website. When i went to the local store (something I wanted to do rather than buy from a big company like amazon to support local businesses) and he advised me that a 600W Gold certified PSU they had in stock would be adequate, however whenever I game on a newer game like Modern Warfare 2, Battlefield V or 2082, CyberPunk 2077 or Star Wars Battlefront II the game will crash shortly after getting into actual game. Where as if i run an older game such as COD Black Ops, GTA V, World of Warcraft there are no issues. I have tried formatting and starting again but I get the same result, do you think its the power supply unit? If so will the Corsair RMx Series RM750x (2021) 750W 80 PLUS Gold will be a good alternative? Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for your advice, i ended up purchasing this kit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Renegade-Desktop-Memory-KF426C13RB/dp/B097RJSVGX/ DDR4-3600mhz CL16, it wasn' on the list of supported sticks however I found a forum that stated it worked with it, and all I needed to do was enable the XMP profile to get the full 3600mhz and cl16. Thanks again.

Hi, I have a Gigabyte Aorus B550 ELITE V2 motherboard paired with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and an RTX 3060 12gb. I had 2 sticks of 8gb DDR4-3200 in there however one stick has failed, its outside of warranty so I'm going to buy a new kit. Will my motherboard accept a 2 x 16gb ddr4-3600 corsair vegence rgb kit? This is a link to the kit: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3600MHz C18, High Performance Desktop Memory Kit (AMD Optimised) - Black https://amzn.eu/d/aNHb7xm I get very confused reading the numbers online so really just a strait yes or no is all I need please. Thank you so much.

Hi, I have an Asus TUF Gaming B450M-PLUS II with a Ryzen 5 3600 and 2 x 8GB DDR4-2666 ram. I mainly use illustrator and photoshop at the same time for my print and embroidery systems, if I was to purchase 2 x 16GB DDR4-2666 ram kit, making a total 48GB ram, would the system still run okay? I have noticed that when loading large banner files the computer slows a lot with memory maxing out. Thanks in advance,.

Hi everyone, I have taken on a bit of a task for my local football/soccer team here in the UK, I have rented an icecast server with 500 listeners, basically for away games I am doing commentary, it started on facebook but its gone to icecast so people can listen from the radio. My setup is a Lenovo basic laptop on windows 10, using winamp and a headset microphone, everyone has said the audio is fine and I use my 4g/5g phone to connect to my icecast whilst I am out. But I would love to get a co-host, someone who can help me with banter and so on, I brought a USB blue iCE snowball microphone but I can't use 2 separate microphones at the same time, I tried an app called 'Mixxx' but the laptop seems to struggle with the audio input as it crackles alot. Is there an inexpensive way to have 2 headsets with mics each with their own single 2.5mm jack? I have looked at external sound cards but am getting confused. I will have about £50-75 available to spend on this. I am also open to trying new software that connects to icecast. Thanks -Chalkie

I will thanks for the link. I will let you know how it goes.

Hi there, I have downloaded the pc health check software and it tells me that I have a compatible computer for windows 11 as listed below: But when I go into windows update i get told the computer is not windows 11 ready. I am not sure why one would say it is and one would say it isn't is there a way for windows update to be refreshed to recheck? Thanks in advance.

Hi there, TLDR: can i use 2 x 4TB 3.5" and 2 x 4TB 2.5" from the same company (seagate barracuda compute drives) with 1 drive available for redundancy and 3 drives in use for a combined 12TB available space in FreeNas and does plex support freenas on the box its self? Long Story: I recently brought a Ryzen 5 3600 with 16GB ram and a 500GB M.2 SSD (not NVME), along with a 2TB HDD because my old computer (I7-2600k, 16gb ram ect ect) died, well my parents have also brought me a new motherboard bundle because they didn't know I had upgraded and they don't want to return it, its actually a newer bundle (AMD Ryzen 7 5800X,ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI), 32gb ram). Thats the back story, so I have now this Ryzen 5 3600 system on a MATX board, I have ordered myself a MATX case and I want to turn it into a NAS system with freenas. The case has space for 2 x 3.5" drives and 2 x 2.5" drives. I would like to setup 4 x 4TB Drives in the system but with 2 of each size, and set them up in a raid with 12TB available and 4TB for redundancy, is that possible and will the difference in physical size cause an issue? They are all Seagate Barracuda Compute drives. I will mainly be using it as a plex box and backup for my main computer files like photos and documents, will i be able to use a plex setup within freenas? Thanks for your help

Sorry if the irony was lost

Got an advert from currys on Facebook. Not sure the graphics card will fit in my case, but for £30 I'll make it work.
