Random crashing as you describe it is usually an indication of failing memory. I would start there.

FTFY

I was trying to give examples at both ends of the spectrum.

Node 202 by Fractal Design. Nzxt H200i. depends on how small you wanna go.

that chip has 16 available pcie lanes. so 4 video cards and 2 m.2 drives are probably out of the question, not mention 4 way sli isn't a thing anymore.

thats what i'm trying to get him to see if he can shine a flashlight or something on it to see if he can still see the image

So there's a guy i'm currently speaking with selling the afore mentioned monitor for $80 (pretty sure this thing retails for like $500). All i know is that the whole left side of the monitor is completely black. I don't know much about monitors really, so I'm looking for some ideas on what could be causing this issue. Could it be the backlight? The whole left side is just dead pixels? a board problem? He said there are no cracks that are visible on the screen, but if there was a crack on the LCD layer, you should still see it, right? I'm completely clueless here, so any help would be greatly apprecitated. I'll share more information as it becomes available, hopefully a picture...Thanks!!

Zotac is goat

You need to check output voltages on the PSU using either a multimeter, or your BIOS might have voltage readouts displayed. Check with your manual on what are acceptable voltage ranges

There should be an option under "Chipset Configuration" to enable both ethernet and wireless.

Its either that, or the onboard Ethernet is DOA

Check your BIOS/UEFI and enable the wireless adapter in there

Not that i can find, no. Seems that beggers can't be choosers in this situation.

Please, for the love of god, do not do whats in the bottom picture. They have it set up to pull air in from the top of the case. This is a bad idea. Top mounted radiators like this should always be set up to push air out the top, not suck it in. Heat naturally rises, so having cool air sucked in "against the current" so to speak, creates a pocket of stagnant air inside your case.

I've found 2 on eBay, but they do not ship outside the US. I don't know how desperate you are, but you could try messaging the sellers to see if they can make an exception for you if at all possible.

I think its a safe bet that your memory is causing the issue. Random PC freezes is definitely a symptom of memory problems and the fact that the test found an issue confirms it.

With the parts you already have, this brings your cost up to $1315.53. If You wanted to save a bit more, you could get a 8gb RAM stick instead and upgrade later. I wasn't really sure if you needed the mouse, keyboard, and wifi dongle included in this or not.

That leaves you 40 for Motherboard, Case, PSU and Harddrive. probably not going to happen This guys got the right idea

If it crashes under heavy loads, i wouldn't call that stable. What are your temps? Have you delided? 1.45 seems pretty high. I generally won't go over 1.39 for most CPU's

Seasonic M12II 620 EVO edition. Its around $50, full modular, and 80+ bronze certified.

Well, I now have a new hobby of finding ridiculous PC ads and messaging the seller why they're asking such ridiculous prices. One person openly admitted to trying to rip people off, most are just clueless.

There was a news story that I came across on youtube a while back. Basically, the news reporter went undercover with a "broken" PC. All they did was disconnect the Sata cable for the boot drive. They took it around to various mom and pop repair shops and all of them found the issue no problem. And then they took it to geek squad........well, needless to say they couldn't find the problem, then offered overprice services such as virus removal and data recovery/back up. So yeah, geek squad has a less than stellar reputation for good reason. I forget where this took place, or the news channel that covered it (a local affiliate i'm sure) but i'm sure you can find it somewhere on youtube

I just had to know what his logic was behind his asking price. I see ads like this all the time and I was finally curious enough to ask.

Especially considering he bought it in 2014. Most of that build was released in 2011 or 2012. 3k for a pc with a Radeon 7950 that could've had a 980 in it. Or maybe even a 980ti.

Thats what i'm trying to explain to the guy....Said he paid $3000 USD 4 years ago ( maybe 2013 but probably 2014) Even then, i think thats steep
