A friend of mine streams on twitch and has been having random pc restarts while doing so. I walked him through testing each ram stick first, which they all seemed fine. Next had him reapply thermal paste and that worked BUT then after some time, it started to do it again. Meanwhile his cpu (ryzen 7 3700x), which is not overclocked, has never overheated. After some more digging we decided to replace the Apevia psu that came with the pc but which again seemed to work, but still is having the same issue. He lives a few hours away so I want to help him the best I can without having him buy all these replacement parts. I know it could literally be anything, but does anyone have a solid solution? Thanks in advanced!

No clue! I did look up the minimum specs and I BELIEVE his pc should be able to run it? Though I am having him check which direct x he is running. But dedicated GPU aside he should be able to run it fine.

Odd!!

I know haha I've tried telling him to but he's stuck on 7. Any other ideas??

i7-2600 8 gigs 64-bit windows 7 He isn't going to upgrade to 10

All I know is that it's an i7 with 8gbs of ram

My friend has been playing Rocket League on an integrated graphics i7 pc with windows 7 but all of sudden, the game would not boot and instead say error. He has tried reinstalling epic games along with the game, but now he gets the error message when just trying to open epic games. Anyone have an idea why this is? Is it because he is on windows 7?

Thought I replied to this comment ha I purchased the 16inch with 16gbs of ram and 512gbs of storage, are there other higher end spec differences I am unaware about?

Sorry if this has been asked about/talked about already. I recently upgraded my studio Mac to the 16in Macbook Pro on sale without considering the m1 Macs. I intend on using my Macbook for Logic Pro X and am wondering, should I have went with the m1? Looks like I could have gotten it with Logic Pro preinstalled on it for the same price along with the same storage and memory. I did watch Anthony's initial thoughts about it but seemed like he was really just comparing it to the air?

Definitely agree with you on that, thats why I was hesitant haha. Thank you! I may just contact apple.

I thought so? lol but the video/write up I found says you need: An Apple Firewire 400 to Firewire 800 adaptor Apple Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter Apple Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 USB-C adaptor

A Focusrite Pro 24

I am looking to upgrade my studio mac to the 16 inch macbook pro but, my interface is firewire 400. I did some research and someone laid out a way to do it using 3 different adapters totaling $80. Now being that video is a couple years old, is there a more sufficient way for the same price or cheaper?

My pc did an update and then blue screened. It then followed up with undoing changes made to your pc but never succeeded and is now stuck in that undoing changes screen than restarting again. I cant access the desktop at all either. Can anyone help?

Thanks! Yeah i was thinking of telling him to go with the i7 config.

My friend is looking for a new pc to both game and stream simultaneously but is not very knowledgeable to when it comes to pcs. He is thinking of just buying either a laptop or something prebuilt rather than building one. My question is since I know next to nothing about small form factor console like prebuilt pcs, would the MSI Gaming Desktop Trident 3 9SI-447US with the 1660 work well to both stream and game at the same time?

Long story short I disconnected my main ssd from my pc to plug in another to see if the bios would see it (silly, I know). Now, my PC is saying there is no boot drive. What happened? Easy fix?

I decided to get the families old inspirion 1545 up and running with a new ssd to gift to a family friend. I installed vista (going to upgrade when I'm able to), but now I cant get it to connect to the internet for anything. It isnt detecting my router wirelessly nor my lan cable. Do I need to get some drivers on a usb and install them?

I'll try that!

Dont I need another mac to do so?

If that's the case I'm sol Haha

I tried but it just sits at 24 hours remaining. Looking further I guess only 2012 mac's and up can do that?

My 2011 iMac's hard drive recently failed(I believe) so I just installed a new hard drive. My problem now is, the iMacs did not com with an os disc I believe. I tried using one from my old macbook from 2009, but that said it wasnt compatible. Is there a way to download it and put it on a usb boot drive?

Thanks for explaining! Still seems super annoying Haha yeah I use an application to find what's using space but nothing comes up. When it says it's full I can't even do anything ie import export.
