  1. Graphics cards can degrade over time. And to why it’d only crash in CS:GO, some GPU loads are different to others. Extreme overclockers are known to downclock their system during loading screens, as it can crash there (and it doesn’t affect overall score if it loads slowly)
  2. Okay, that sounds like very dead. Your GPU will most likely be fine. A CX-M is an alright PSU with adequate protections. I am sure you are already aware, but you will not be able to use your GPU in your machine if the PSU doesn't have the required power connectors. I guess until your replacement PSU arrives, you will have to use either your integrated graphics, or that other GPU you were talking about.
  3. Fun. Do you hear a "click" sound when you try to turn on the PC (with the Corsair CX-M PSU installed, and unplugging and replugging from the wall)? What happens if you remove your graphics card from the system (with the Corsair CX-M PSU installed)?
  4. Is all your RAM of the exact same model? What happens if you down-clock your graphics card?
  5. What happens if you remove your XMP profile and set it to auto? How long has this been happening for?
  6. -5V hasn't been in the ATX standard for 15 years or so. -12V is not used much anymore but is still in the ATX standard. You more than likely don't need it.
  7. Have you tried unplugging the CX650M from the wall, waiting 10 minutes, then plugging it back in and turning on your PC? PSUs will sometimes hard shut-off like that to protect the system if it detects an issue like a short circuit. Admittedly, If the PC turns on fine after being unplugged and replugged in, that doesn't mean everything is good
  8. It is a build with a 980ti, and a 660W PSU of decent quality. That is more than enough power. (It doesn't rule out the PSU maybe defective, but I wouldn't default to that). OP: When did you build this PC? Are you overclocking anything? How long did you run memtest for?
  9. How did your old PSU die? What was your old PSU? You cannot see if your GPU works without PCIe power cables plugged in. And, what is your old PSU?
  10. Is the cable is says it is active, yes. Some DP to VGA adaptors are passive; they basically work as DVI-I but with a different connector. Since your GPU does not support analogue video out, those passive cables won't work.
  11. Get it fixed with warranty. If you cannot do that, talk to the ACER spare parts distributor. Apparently the machine uses ATX12VO, which is a new power supply standard that is 12V only https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/623782/looking-for-the-motherboard-manual-for-a-tc-895-eb11 You are probably going to struggle finding replacement ATX12VO PSUs - both because it is very new, and also that only larger OEMs will implement it. You will also struggle to find parts for this PC, because it is also pretty new. A lot of eBay spare parts stores just strip down ewaste and sell it as parts.
  12. Country town computer shops have great vibes

     

    Was just in 2 of them. The 2nd one was full of old PCs, their pos system was a HP compaq from 2004 with a diskette in the drive, and a guy was holding a 16bit isa 10base-t network card, and a phone googling it in another

  13. You can change your key arrangement in Mac OS. So you can just use a regular PC keyboard on a Mac. https://www.addictivetips.com/mac-os/remap-a-windows-keyboard-for-a-mac/
  14. I don't see how this is particularly relevant. The OP has stated their computer has stopped working because of a dead PSU, so they already have a power cable. Plus, they live in a 230V country, so a 200-250V only PSU is sufficient. I am unclear what the OP plans to do with this computer, but since they have a Core2 duo and a GT730 and they don't game, I cannot imagine they'd get a $200 USD GPU anytime soon. Really, the System Power U9 is more than good enough for this system - cheap and DC to DC. And will still be more than good enough if the OP decides to do a platform upgrade in the future (and even an entry level gaming GPU would be fine with that). They can even get away with an ADATA XPG Pylon 550W. Really, this is a PC that is worth $120USD. Getting them to spend half of the PC's value on a PSU is a waste of money.
  15. I mean, it has a decently nice nav bar, so it would have to contain CSS. OP: I think you should have some CSS for the URLs. Also, what does the marking guide of your assignment say? I know when I did a unit called "Creating Web Applications", not a lot of the marks were allocated to website styling and layout (and you had to do pretty badly to have marks taken off for it). The marks were given to stuff like Uses all requested HTML Tags Uses all requested CSS attribute selectors and styling is xhtml compliant includes 2 additional features that weren't taught in this unit I have provided the marking guide for the unit I did. Probably not particularly useful, but it may help a little.
  16. USB Display adaptors a software accelerated, which means your CPU is running code to run display stuff on them (So you will be using RAM and CPU to do that) They can be unresponsive and laggy (depending on what you are displaying on them). But really, they are good options if a GPU upgrade is not an option. Your CPU iGPU can likely support 2 monitors (and maybe 3 if 1 is DisplayPort running DisplayPort Natively or with an Active adaptor). If you have free display outputs that aren't HDMI, I suggest you adapt them to HDMI.
  17. The main downsides with an outdated version of iOS - you cannot buy and install new apps that now don't support iOS. If you had purchased/downloaded the app before they stopped supporting your iOS version, you can still download it and use it. I am looking at getting an XR. Seeing though the iPhone 6s is still supported, the XR will probably get a long supported life as well
  18. But why scrap it? Literally what is the point at buying something, using 1/2 of it, and replacing 1/2 of it with basically the same shit?
  19. A gaming oriented Dell or HP will more likely to have standard Motherboards and PSUs. Honestly. Why buy a PC and scrap it? Unless you really hate the case, just use it. It is probably a better designed case and a better PSU (If it is Dell, HP, ASUS... Super budget names and Boutique builders are known to cheap out on PSUs) than a typical custom built gaming PC. A non gaming oriented PC will not have a decent GPU. If you don't like the storage configuration. Buy another HDD or SSD. If you don't like how much RAM it has. Buy more RAM.
  20. Why do you want a new PSU for this PC? It is a brand new machine isn't it?
  21. I mean, wattage isn’t everything. Plus you have a no name PSU. It likely doesn’t have over-current protection. Voltage regulation and ripple can cause issues. It looks like a memory issue, but it could be noisy power interfering with the memory traces, or the memory might not be getting enough voltage, so isn’t correctly holding its state. Reinstall windows. That might help, but I kinda doubt it. They’re artificting at startup aren’t they? (If so, it’s not a driver issue) Either you have had extremely bad luck, or something in your system is fucking it up. Go to a friends place who has a decent PSU. Try the GPUs there.
  22. Why are you getting a 750W PSU? And really, don’t get that one
  23. Only I would include obscure references in my profile, knowing full well that no one on this forum would appreciate them xD

  24. I mean, it is not even 80plus certified. (ewent doesn't have any 80plus certified PSUs, I've checked). There's a lot of shitty PSUs that no one should ever buy that are 80plus certified. There's no excuse for any PSU made after 2006 to not be 80plus certified. (Even ones in prebuilts) Get a decent PSU. Make a thread in the PSU sub-forum, and tell them where you are from and stores you can buy from.
