    Hi. Is it normal for windows 10 to restart the explorer.exe when installing a software? Or is it a bug? I have looked in event viewer and can't find any error regarding with it. Do you experience this also? Thank you.

    Did you reinstall windows?
  3. darkwizard06
    Yes. Because it shows the error / BSOD which means it posts and read the storage attached to it

    It can't boot probably because your friend's hdd has windows 10 installed with incompatible system and driver configuration with your system. You must have a storage, either hdd or ssd and reinstall windows with your current system. And you are good to go.

    What is your preferred dram diagnostic tool? Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool or memtest86+?

    Because I am a very heavy multitasker and I edit videos.

    Hi guys. I just wondering if the G.Skill memory brand is good and reliable? I am now using Kingston memory and planning to upgrade to 32gb. And I want to know if who is the OEM of G.Skill dram chips? Thank you.

    Hi guys. A computer with fresh install of windows operating system needs driver in order to function properly. What is the 'recommended' way of installing each of the drivers? Should I install a driver and restart the computer each time a driver asks for it, or I'll go ahead and install all the drivers and clicking 'restart computer later' and then restart the computer after all the drivers have been installed? Thank you.

    I have this experience with my Asus motherboard that has problem. It is still in the asus' warranty which is 3 years. The day that I've purchased the said component from the store, they just told me that the warranty of this component is 1 year. I used the motherboard for 13 months and then it failed. So I went to one of the Asus service center, and checked the warranty by verifying it using the serial number. Then after, they advice me to go to the store where I have bought the product. When I was on the store, they do not honor the warranty because they said to me that this component has only 1 year warranty - which is opposing to the asus' warranty period. Is it right that the store didn't honor the warranty even it is still indeed under the warranty period of asus? Or they are giving F on me? Is it the warranty a contract? What action I am going to do with this situation? PS: You can share also your point of views and experience here. Thank you.

    How about Underclocking? Does it really helps in extending the lifespan of your components?
  12. darkwizard06
    Almost everyone who uses custom built rigs are always overclocking their components - cpu, gpu, ram, Printer? maybe? haha. But do you undervolt/underclock? I know it will reduce some performance, but do you?
  13. darkwizard06
    haha. Unfortunately I have one asus motherboard died thus makes me thinking to try gigabyte. How about you? Have you experienced a board suddenly died in front of you?
  14. darkwizard06
    Thanks. By the way, on your own experience, is there a difference in durability on Asus and Gigabyte motherboard? My 3 systems are using Asus motherboards, and I don't have experience on Gigabyte boards yet.
  15. darkwizard06
    Thanks for the response. So the higher the price hence the quality, will be more durable and longer lifespan compared to cheaper components? What can you say about Z vs H series motherboards?
  16. darkwizard06
    As the title says. Do you really care about PC components longevity? Or you don't ever care, just buy a new one if it prematurely breaks. PS: Because I am.
  17. darkwizard06
    What's the motherboard's model? Based on my experience, some H series motherboard doesn't report correct temperature on HWMONITOR.
  18. darkwizard06
    That's for your 2nd question.
  19. darkwizard06
    I see. Thank you so much.

    Maybe your psu doesn't support the haswell C-States C6/7 . You can check with the settings in your uefi to turn off c states and see if something will improve.

    I see thanks. But if I maintain this kind of voltage to my cpu all the time, will it affect my vrm on motherboard? I have one motherboard died on me last month, I am just using it but in high performance mode. The board just shuts off with no warnings and doesn't start. (PSU is okay)
  22. darkwizard06
    Good day to all! I am a little bit curious about this scenario. We all know that applying high voltage to the cpu will increase its temperature (greater than idle temperatures). I have Core i5 4790 which runs at 0.699 volts at 800mhz idle, when using stress tester like aida64, its voltage will go up around 1.125volts at 3.6 - 4ghz. Now, my question; Why is it that if I set the power options to "high performance" (sets the minimum cpu freq to 100%) on windows still gave me the exact same idle temperature at 32 deg. C even the cpu is constantly receiving 1.125 volts all the time? ha ha. I know its a little bit silly question but please bear with me.

    My pc suddenly died, motherboard doesn't turn on. I've tried and confirmed that it is indeed the motherboard died, but the psu is still working. Now I will be purchasing a new motherboard, but I have a limited budget, should I go with motherboard and a corsair psu, or a motherboard and a surge protector? I am suspecting that power surge killed my board. Do you think power surge can actually surpass psu and affect 12v rails that power the board? Quick specs: Asus H81m-d Xigmatek X-Calibre 400 watts 8gb kingston memory DDR3
  24. darkwizard06
    Haha. Yeah. I will try your suggestion later hoping it will be fixed, otherwise it will become a wall decor.
  25. darkwizard06
    I would be happy to try your suggestion, but unfortunately the board doesn't even start. After pressing and shorting the power button, cpu fan only rotates half a second and halts.
