  1. consider a different power supply. power supplies are important and even though the bad ones don't usually explode or die in the long run its better to play it safe and get a nice power supply. check out the power supply tier list, it should be pinned in the power supply sub forum. go for anything above B+ tier thats below 650w. high wattage isn't needed.
  2. I trust my friends a lot they're my brother and I's real friends that live close. I'll look into what you said I appreciate it a lot I'm just a little stressed right now.
  3. Hi forums, I've been having issues with setting up a terraria server from my old computer. I'm using the built in terraria server hosting (not the steam connections) and I finally was able to get all my friends to connect with my IP, but I can't connect from my main gaming computer. My brother, who is on wifi was able to connect too. I was able to connect from the server pc with the localhost ip (127.0.0.1) but I just can't connect from my own PC. Both the server and my main PC are connected into the same router. I think it might be something with my firewall but I have no idea since I'm a noob with these kind of things. If anyone has any idea for what might be happening any help is really appreciated because all my friends are playing without me... DD: edit: I tried my ipv4 IP and my actual IP that would show my location
  4. My dad was thinking that but I know those can be expensive. I also just wasn't sure because we have access to the enterprise version of Disk Drill.
  5. I wasn't able to get past the users folders but there are other parts I could navigate through.
  6. Hi, I was trying to recover some family photos from my dad's old WD Green that's 9+ years old but this drive is veeeery slow. I was able to get some stuff off of it that my parents wanted but it took a bit to load. The drive just wouldn't load the windows Users folders, which is what my dad wanted to open because of all the family photos. My brother has some program called Disk Drill through his work and I was wondering if that or something else would be any help to get our old family photos. If anyone can help it would be super appreciated because of the memories on the drive. Thanks in advance.
  7. ohhh no we didn't disable that. Anyhow I guess the wraith prism just died after a week for some reason...
  8. what do you mean the warning, I don't remember anything like that.
  9. yeah we flashed a new bios because it's a 3600 on an older board. Is there no fix...?
  10. I think it is, but I'm going to head over to his house soon to look at everything since he isn't sure what to do
  11. Hi, I just built my friend's PC with an Asus Prime X470-Pro and it won't let him start his computer because of a "CPU Fan Error". I looked into it and disabled the monitoring of the cooler to try and stop the issue and it worked for a week or so. Now though, he's telling me that its giving the same issue that it did when we initially built and the old fix isn't working anymore. Does anyone know how to possibly fix this?
  12. Hi, I don't really know much about routers and my parents are wanting to get a new one for our house since the current one from frontier blows. They're looking for - good range (house is ~2,200 square feet) - dual band - Not much more than $200 If anyone can help me find a new router that would be appreciated!

    I know you like to think your shit don't stink,…

    my friend made a sick video with this song
  14. not enough information, please provide more based on what you're saying, the card is done for or maybe something is wrong with your monitor
  15. I'm pretty sure that it's just going to throttle back because it's a laptop. It'll drop to 1.6ghz if that means keeping the laptop cool. You can make sure that your laptop is on high performance for it's power plan but I think that's all you can really do besides every other measure that you've taken. Is it really impacting performance?
  16. yeah hopefully, I had to learn everything myself researching my PC. yeah I was going to get an app like that or that exact app, I looked into it with him last night. I was going through and getting the drivers for his motherboard last night and i don't think I got to installing the drivers for the chipset but I'll make sure I do that next time I'm able to help. I honestly think it might be the RAM or something with the drive we installed. He bought two samsung 860 drives and we plugged the second mass storage one in much later because I had to get another SATA cable for him. It hasn't blue screened since I put the RAM to 3000mhz (even though it's rated for 3200 -.-) The first blue screen was in csgo, which was installed on the new D drive after we plugged it in and added it with disk management.
  17. from what I remember since I'm at home now is that he has Razer synapse, steam, and discord all run on startup. I'll send my friend what you've told me though I doubt he'll do anything without me being there. Even though it's simple he has no idea with anything more complicated than just using the computer.
  18. yeye I've heard it all before and told many people. Not like 200mhz is much a difference anyway so I don't see what the problem is especially since it hasn't blue screened since
  19. Dual channel rated for 3200mhz. I just changed it to 3000mhz.
  20. It just blue screened again and said "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" edit: i changed the memory speed to 3000mhz in the bios to maybe see if that would help.
  21. yeah I'm just going through and installing all the different drivers right now. So far this is the longest we've gone without any bluescreens though we haven't opened counter strike.
  22. shittttt I don't remember what they all say. One of them said something about drivers so we're going through and updating all the drivers.
  23. Hi everyone, I just helped my friend build a new PC and it's blue screened 3 times within the past 10 minutes. First and second time it blue screened at the counter strike menu and the third time it was right on the login page for the computer. I have literally no idea what the problem is. It just blue screened a fourth time while he was at the csgo menu. It actually just blue screened a fifth time while at desktop. Both of these were while I was typing the specs Here's the specs ryzen 2700x Asus x470 prime-pro evga 1070ti ftw2 t force Vulcan z 2x8 16gb 3200mhz evga g5 750w Any help is appreciated for my friends sake as this is his first pc.
