clean

Discord and Spotify run on web browsers even though they have their own app. I would look at clearing my caches and temporary files on my computer. I would also uninstall and re-install browsers, extensions, Spotify and discord. Depending on how many tasks you are running when it freezes, it could possibly (bit of a long shot) be a ram issue. You could always try to reseat it and see if that helps.

Also if you are using a power bar try going directly into an outlet

did the PSU work on a different system? Easy way to tell if you are shorting the system is by trying to make a diy test bench setup with the motherboard box and seeing if you can boot the pc there. Don't run it like this for long, just to see if you get a proper boot sequence going. This would let us know that there is a short somewhere in the case. Also try a different outlet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had a similar issue over a decade ago when I messed up during an upgrade. I ended up frying my mobo by connecting my fan to the motherboard power and Molex power. I doubt you fried your computer, but there is some trouble shooting that we can do. First I would try powering the device on directly from the motherboard by shorting the power pins. You can do this with a screw driver, wire or another conductive material that can short the pins. Please be cautious when doing this as there is potential to damage your computer if you do not jump the correct pins. The motherboard (MOBO) manual should cover the pin outs for the front pannel. After attempting this we can ask what has changed? does the computer post, do the fans spin, does the motherboard error code LEDs or 7 segment display change. Any of these changes can dictate what we will do next. Assuming nothing changed, I would validate the new power supply works by testing it on older hardware that I own. If it is working under load on a different system I can rule it out as the main cause of the issue. If not, you know where to look... If you do not have a different system to test it on, try inspecting the pins on the male and female ends of the power connectors (on psu cables and mobo). Perhaps when chaining out the psu earlier some damage was caused. This is a bit of a longer shot but did the mother board move when changing PSU? If so there might be a short on the back, or with the standoff connector screws. It might be worth trying to boot the PC with the back panel off, ensuring the mother board is properly resting on the standoffs with the correct screws in place and ensuring that there is no clutter / debris causing a short off the back of the mother board. Please let me know if these help, or if anything changes when trying these out so we can further investigate this issue.

Yeah I noticed that, I think that is what I am going for, I just hop raytracing does not go too main stream or i would be left in the dust:/

Simple enough question, Which am I better off with - a titan XP or a 2070. I am looking for a card that will last me well into the future (looking for at least 4 years), I also am buying used as I do not have a ton of money ATM. I only play 1080p, and do not see myself using raytracing too much. I do however need a GPU that will be able to run some code and develop my Minecraft pathfinding program at night. I feel like the titan XP with more vram will last me longer than the 6gb on the 2070 for gaming and allow a nice buffer for my pathfinding trials. Any thoughts?

I cleaned my pc for the first time at 14, 1 year after building it for my 13th birthday. I installed a new cooler on my fx processes. When i plugged in a cheap fan that came with the pc I plugged in both the fan header and a Molex. It fried my entire mobo. After that I have yet to break a PC but when I clean it I am extra careful.

Thanks for the information, people I know only do AWS and I really wanted a different prospective. I think ill do my first cert in azure and if I find it too limiting ill do the equivalent in AWS.

Hello, Simple question, I am someone who is looking to build up their resume and want to get a certification or two with Azure or AWS. Which ever one I go for I would do the course for developers first then an analytics one after. I honestly do no know if I should go for AWS or Azure and have been looking around on quara and other websites but no one really gives a great answer other than AWS is older and has a larger market share because of this and Azure is growing. I honestly just want it to look good on a resume and hey if I need it in the workplace down the line that's awesome too. I am a student right now I have a decent resumes with projects and hackathons, but Covid has me worried as I study at a community college and have co-op competing against people from UofT and Waterloo in CS. Regards, Clean

Yeah I'm just waiting. Ended up getting too busy for any AI side projects or gaming. I hear there is a 20gb 3080 down the pipeline. Might just say f it and cop it. Honestly if it lasts me another 7 years I am happy with it.

I only shop used my man. perks of being stingy with money!

thanks, thats the general idea I have gotten from what people here have been saying

Thats what I was planning on doing, I just see alot of people online saying to get the top of the line gpu but I am not running a high rez so I don't think it is necessary even for the next few years. I am a programmer and don't follow hardware religiously so I came here for some reassurance.

medium-ultra idk really, just have a playable fps. not looking to spend over 400CAD for it second hand!

You think it will be able to play games in the next few years at 1080p with out too much issues?
