    Sounds like you have some earthing issue after reinstalling the motherboard. You may have to re-seat it. Could there be anything stuck underneath the motherboard that shouldn't be there?

    Fry's Electronics. Sign up for their email promo codes. I just picked up a i3 6100 for $88. They had a deal for a i5-7500 + z270 motherboard for $300.

    Local Shops + Price matching is your friend.
    Check /r/buildapcsales meanwhile and such and do what you can you.
    Best bet for testing parts would be to just hook everything up outside the case and make just throw like linux on if you can and do some minor stress testing to make sure nothing is faulty

    Hey i dont exactly live in the sanfranciso area but i would suggest peeking into a frys electronics store or buying locally from craislist if your willing to fix it up, i got a 960 for 100$ which is a steal list price was 180 and it was new too so i would choose frys for new and craigslist for some great deals

    PeskyEscky got a reaction from Frosty Evades in Best way to uninstall a lot of programs at once?   
    Without some considerable scripting, the quickest way would be something like iOBit Uninstaller, it has a 'Batch' mode. You tick each one you want to uninstall and it will run through them all. You still have to click next next next etc, but it will go through each one. And, it will check the HDD and registry for any leftovers!

    So I got an email form Virgin media today says "they will double the current speed for FREE" "X2" and I did some research and found out this is legit and REAL!!
     
     
    So if you live in the UK and you are with VirginMedia "ISP provider" you are a lucky person.

    PeskyEscky got a reaction from Steve N. Mavronis in The case against SSDs   
    As Dalomo says, its not the SSD's that is the issue. Its going to take some time for things like this to properly get a grip of using SSD's effectively in servers. A server's use of storage is completely different to that of a normal desktop.

    PeskyEscky got a reaction from ThE_MarD in LG no longer commited to upgrading the G2 to Lollipop   
    So after waiting for months to get the Android 5 Lollipop 5 upgrade that LG had promised for my G2, I contacted their customer support and got this response:
     
     
    LG had previously said they would provide an update, and why not, the G2 is no slouch, with a Snapdragon 800 and 2GB RAM. It was the top of the range phone when it was released in September 2013. Yet 18 months later and its now at its end.
     
    I certainly won't be buying another LG, I hope that other manufacturers at least stick to what they say.
     
    Do you know of any other high-end phones which won't get the update?

    Your CPU is overheating. You need to fix that.
     
    Either do what I said from before, or change the cooler on the CPU. 
     
    Your 225W TDP CPU requires a LOT of cooling.

    I would certainly consider it. There is no complicated messing with settings, trying to get the game working etc. Having a full time job and family means I don't have the time I would like tinkering!..
    The only real reason I didn't buy a PS4 is because I refuse to pay to play online. I don't have the time to get my monies worth. That and games are expensive.

    Linus... I'm sorry but I was disappointed with this video. Not once did you (or Luke) mention the noise levels of the cooler, which is be quiet's whole ethos. Yes performance is important, but other things are too. Love your videos though, keep up the good work!

    You all seem to be missing the point. This isn't a general consumer device for people looking to get bang for buck. This is for professionals that don't need to worry about the price, only how they can work more effectively
