csrss.exe (Client Server Runtime) is an essential graphics component of Windows. dwm.exe (Desktop Window Manager) is also an essential part of Windows. DDU and update gfx drivers. Which part of the GPU is in use? If it's the video encode, disable shadowplay or any other recording software. Even applications in the background can use theses processes so double check for any graphical apps. Failing all that, run a malware scan. Use multiple different scanners.

What you guys on about sata to 6 pin not being safe? They run off the the exact same circuitry. The wires are the same size. In this case I'd recommend getting a 1050ti without a PCI-e power connector as the PSU is only 320w and is likely proprietary.

Sorry for late reply. Yeah that is one way.

Sorry for the late reply. Could do. It's not as simple as more w/mk = better cooling. Since you said the other side was flat, by dots do to mean dimples/divots? If so I'm not really sure why they'd be there.

Get a dual 6 pin to 8 pin adaptor. Do not use a straight 6 pin to 8 pin if the PSU doesn't have any 8 pin at all.

RAID does not support drives of different sizes. [well technically it does but you'll lose space on the larger drive/s] You can use JBOD.

It's not the cpu, it's the motherboard. Running without c-states is fine, just means average power usage will increase a bit.

Oh right Forza 7 is on PC isn't it. Updated.

If visuals is all you're after then in no particular order 2019/2020; COD: Modern Warfare Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Metro: Exodus Red Dead Redemption 2 Control 2017/2018; Shadow of the Tomb Raider Battlefield V Far Cry 5 Project Cars 2 Forza Motorsport 7

Depends on your mobo. Most boards are either F2, F8, F10, F12, or Del.

It's normal.

1500/3000mhz is when XMP is enabled. Without XMP most modern Intel chips only allow up to 1066/2133.

1500mhz is the actual speed the module runs at. DDR stands for Double Data Rate, meaning it's two bits per cycle thus the effective speed is doubled. Has nothing to do with dual channel.

Intel focuses more on single threaded performance than AMD does. Single thread passmark scores will give you a good idea of which chips perform best in KSP and MC.

Nope. I only know of a few sim games that allow such configs.

Ebay is generally safe. In case you get burnt though, it has great buyer protection.

Might need to set it correctly in the monitors OSD. Or you might just need to set it correctly in windows.

Both of those are passive adaptors and will not deliver the full performance you're looking for. You need an active adaptor. There is no way (at least with consumer hw) to use the mobo's video outputs with the gfx card.

Take screenshots of the emails showing the time they came in, also of the login history of your email. It'll be really helpful if it shows that most logins are from one place but those suspicious ones are from somewhere completely different.

You can't use the mobo as an adaptor. You need to build it into a working system with both the IDE and SATA drives plugged in. Then install an OS and copy the files over.

Yeup.

For games, no difference. Except if you wanted to watch a video at the same time for example. The 2nd gpu would take the decode work off the main gpu.

It's building static which is normal but you need to ground the case. Get yourself some wire, any wire will do. Shielded is preferred in case of mains short. Pin the wire with one of the case screws and run to something that is grounded. If there isn't anything grounded you can attach the wire to, you'll have to run it outside and attach the wire to a metal rod stuck into the ground.
