Well, I'm rocking a generic HP keyboard that came with an HP Pavilion a1224n (I know, you're envious) and a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500. I don't have a headset yet . Definitely could use the new stuff LOL

Hi! I'm currently running on a GTX 750 ti, which is basically the best I can do considering I live in a 3rd-world country. I'd love to get one because I love gaming and have worked very hard to build my PC, but it's getting old now

It would be really great if I won the Sagitta Spectrum mouse! Good luck to all

I've had a couple of problems with my PC since I built it over a year ago. At first I started with an ASRock 960GM-VGS3 FX motherboard and an AMD Sempron 145 processor. I bought it because it was cheap and I wanted to use the AM3 platform to get an FX6300 later on. Since I live in a place where parts are almost impossible to buy price-wise (and that's if you can find them), I ended up buying a used AMD Phenom II X6. It turns out that it kept bluescreening on me when the computer performed CPU-intensive tasks (such as rendering video). I figured out that it was having heat problems, and after some tests, discovered that my problem disappeared if I turned the CPU clock down a notch. I know it's not ideal, but it works for a student who'd have to spend about 10 months of minimum wage salary (before expenses) on a replacement. After that, I decided to get a video card since my Radeon HD 6450 simply was not cutting it (for obvious reasons). I received my GTX 750ti, new, about 2 months ago. Everything went smoothly after installing it, until my PC started rebooting WITH NO ERROR SCREEN WHATSOEVER during Assassin's Creed IV gameplay. Always at the same part (just as the main character is first faith-diving into the water, in the intro sequence). So I started fiddling with the video settings in-game, and discovered that after lowering the graphics my computer DID NOT reboot at that part. This also happens with many other games (Dying Light, Far Cry 4, Bioshock Infinite -although that one lets me play at almost ultra settings at 720p-, Dark Souls II -rarely-, Fallout 4 -at recommended settings, my PC dies at the same moment in the intro settings-, etc.) and makes some of them un-fun because of the constant fear that my computer will just die at any point in time. Also, it's important to note that the less intensive games I play (League of Legends and Minecraft) have never caused my PC to reboot. Even though I've made my research and have some basic computer knowledge, I haven't found a definitive answer to my problem. I'd love it if someone could help me find out what my problem's cause is. Also, it's really important for you to know that, although the first answer could be to replace most of the parts on my system, it is simply NOT possible in my situation, and I would really appreciate it if someone could help me find a solution (or set of solutions) that doesn't involve just replacing most of my computer parts. My current setup (I can post pics of my computer build, ugly as it is , upon request) is as follows: Motherboard: ASRock 960GM-VGS3 FX CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T clocked at 2.70GHz with stock cooler (I think. Since I bought it used, I'm just using what came in the box) Memory: 8GB Kingston RAM Video Card: EVGA GTX 750ti, no OC. PSU: 450W 20-pin PSU I'll include a screenshot from my CPUID HW Monitor window at the time of posting this. That is what my PC looks like under some light load (about 6 Chrome tabs, iTunes playing music, OpenOffice Doc open, etc.). As for my computer usage, I usually do video editing and 3D rendering, in addition to gaming several hours a day while listening to music/browsing the internet. I have a 2-monitor setup where my primary monitor is a TV connected through HDMI and my secondary is a 1280x1024 monitor connected to the 750ti's DVI output using the VGA adapter that came with the card. I usually leave this monitor unused (windows+p and choose "PC Screen only"). When I want to use this monitor to multitask, I use Windows' "extend" option. I have found that the rebooting error often happens when I'm using the second screen to watch video while gaming. If there's any more pertinent information that I may have left out, feel free to ask.
