    Synatec got a reaction from boggy77 in [SOLVED] Constant BSOD under load, different error codes   
    [SOLVED]
     
    I ran MemTest86, which obviously gave me over 18k errors before aborting itself. I then tried running only 1 stick, my system didn't post. I swapped the modules and it worked like a charm, 1 of my RAM modules is faulty. 
     
    To fix a similar issue do the following:
     
    1. Run Windows Memory Diagnostic
     
    2. Run MemTest86 (Download it onto a USB and boot from the USB, tutorial on their website)
     
    3. Diagnose which module it is.
     
    4. Run your system with 1 module installed and run the tests again. Do this again for the other module.
     
    5. RMA your RAM if it is faulty, check your retailers website for warranty returns or the manufacturers website.
     
    Special thanks to @boggy77& @cr8tor
    Appreciate you two a lot, thanks for your time.

    Synatec got a reaction from Radium_Angel in On startup, Explorer takes ages to load, certain applications don't open at all.   
    The issue seems solved for now, I haven't done much testing yet but for now I'll consider this solved.
     
    I reinstalled SATA drivers and it worked like a charm again.
     
    Thanks for the help the 2 of you!

    Synatec reacted to Jamarlie in What's the worst that could happen with a fly INSIDE your PC?   
    So, small story at first:
    A few days ago I had a pretty annoying fly in my room.
    It suddenly disappeared so I didn't really think about it too much any more...
    Until I saw a shadow on my wall through the LEDs that I installed inside my PC...
    I am using a Sharkoon BW-9000-W tower and it is standing on the edge of a small ledge because of the massive reservoir mounted to the back. The thing has a pretty big air inlet below the case in the front, the fly must have flown in there and up through the drive-bay area INSIDE my PC. I immediately sh*t my pants when I saw it in there and I think I've never taken off my side panel so fast as in this moment.

    Now my question after thinking about this for a while: Was my anxiety even justified?
    What is the worst that could have happened in that situation?
    Maybe a small addition, I am using an ASUS Sabertooth Mark S with the thermal armor, so I'd assume it could have flown back there and maybe took a poop on one of the resistors or something causing them to be shorted.
    Or it could have simply been sucked into my Noctua Industrial PPC fans I have and shredded to bits, thus causing it's shreds to land right on my GPU or something. Maybe it could have also been pushed inside my radiator?
    Would be nice to know if I should be worried or not if something like this happens the next time around ^^'

    you shouldnt decided based on brand you should decide based on specific cards and recently crossfire has been better than sli

    Here's the way I would look at it:
     
    Do you need to buy this now, or can you wait?
     
    If you can wait, how long?
     
    What's your budget? Buy the best SINGLE CARD at your budget level. The RX480 is similar to GTX 1060 performance. So if you're looking at anything higher than the 1060, then there's no real point in looking at AMD right now.
     
    With that in mind, there are rumours (unconfirmed, with some indication that they might be straight up false) that AMD's Vega GPU's might launch in a couple months.
     
    But if you need a GPU right now, just buy the best GPU you can afford.

    get at least a GTX 1070 to go with your build. 6600k and 1070 is a good combo. getting a lesser GPU with that CPU will be wasteful.

    do you want the best or do you want the budget option? that is basically the difference sadly. AMD cant compete with anything everything they put out is a generation behind

    If your budget is "$0 to $600", we'll just call it "$600".
     
    In that case, you have two choices for current gen cards:
    1. GTX 1070 - prices are ~$450.
    2. GTX 1080 - this goes a LITTLE over your budget, but you can find them for as cheap as $650 (or a little less sometimes).
     
    Decide whether you want to spend $450 or $650.

    for 1080p 60fps, a 1070 is a bit overkill, like everyone else said. perhaps you can look into a 1080p 144hz or 1440p monitors when your budget allows? 
     
    the 1060 6gb. just ignore the fact that the 3gb version exists
