  1. I've just bough some second hand pc parts, i5 8600k, asus rog z370-f gaming, msi gtx 1080 gaming x and then some new Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB(2x8gb) 3000mhz ddr4 ram. I had it running for about 30 minutes doing various tests such as cinebench and unigine heaven before it blue screened with the code 'MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION'. After this i struggled to even get back into windows without it either freezing on boot or blue screening with the same code. I could get into windows in safe mode and never had it blue screen in safe mode but at the same time never ran it long in safe mode. Once in safe mode i uninstalled my gpu drivers but it still blue screened, I even changed back to my old 1060 and it still crashed with that. I then got a empty separate hard drive and only had that plugged in and tried to install windows on that to make sure it wasn't my windows install but it then blue screened whilst installing windows 10 with the same error code. I also tried booting into ubuntu from a live usb but it also froze on loading once and then kept giving me error codes. I am now using my old hardware and have managed to get my dump files but haven't done the perfmon system diagnostics as I can't get into windows on that new hardware to do it. So I believe the cpu is at fault but want to be sure before i send it back and replace it.

  2. Are these dead pixels at the bottom of my screen. This is on the bottom of my Mate 20 pro that I've had for only 3 ish months.
  3. I'm looking at getting some beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO's but there are 3 different options with difference impedance ratings, 32 ohms, 80 ohms and 250 ohms. I know I would need an amp to run the 250 ohms version but I'm unsure if my onboard audio would be able to handle the 80 ohms version or if I'm better off getting the 32 ohm version. I'm looking at getting headphones which don't require an amp as it just adds extra cost and the sound quality increase isn't worth the price for me. My motherboard is the MSI Z97 Gaming 5
  4. Great, have some thermal paste laying around (i think arctic silver) so I will use that
  5. What TIM should I use to replace the stock one on my aging 280x which is running at around 85c when gaming. I bought it used a few years ago so its had the same stock TIM for many many years.
  6. thats a tv with an ever changing image, whereas on windows your taskbar stays very much the same the whole time
  7. What are you even trying to achieve from this? For monitor manufacturers to suddenly release your dream monitor or something?
  8. do you know of a quieter 750w which is still good quality or would the corsair be sufficient
  9. Brother is looking at getting another 1080 and will need a new power supply to handle it. I've had a look around and have found the Corsair RM750x which according to the forums psu tier list is a tier 1 psu, just wondering if anyone has any recommendations Relevant Specs: I7 3930K 2x Gtx 1080(G1 Gaming) (if you need anything else ask)
  10. using wifi analyzer and the channel I am on is clear with my wifi being the only one on it and their phone is a huawei p9 lite
  11. My isp is EE and the router is the Brightbox 2 @Belzebuth
  12. Have changed the channel but it's no better and only reason I'm worry about the 2.4ghz when the 5ghz is available at the same time is because my mom and sisters phone(same model) doesn't seem to support 5ghz as it doesn't show up
  13. Just got a new router from my isp as the Internet speeds were also upgraded, plugged it in and it working fine, has a network for people on 2.4ghz and one for 5ghz. Only thing is sat next to the router speeds on 5ghz are 70mbs down whereas when I connect to the 2.4ghz I'm struggling for 30. It gets worse in the room directly above the router only getting 1-5 mbs on the 2.4ghz whereas the 5ghz is fine s I'll with 70. This gets worse the further I am away from it. Anyone know what is causing this, do I need to change so things in routers configuration? Old router was 2.4ghz with my Internet speed being 38 down and I didn't have this problem. TLDR: Internet is dreadful on 2.4 compared to 5ghz even when next to router
  14. Since I updated to the fall update earlier today my screen randomly flickers blue red or green. I've tried updating my drivers to the latest version but it did nothing. Anyone else had this or know what could fix it? PS yes I have turned it off and on again
  15. when in game press escape then go across and it has a progress bar which will tell you how many missions you have left
  16. This isnt a forum feature suggestion, you have posted it in the wrong section
  17. i would be pairing the 8600k with a 212 evo so dont know if that would be enough to compete with the 1600 and the mobo would be the asrock z370 pro4 which is one of the cheaper options as due to the 8600k being more expensive i wont have the money to get a better motherboard
  18. Which cpu is better for rendering videos in programs such as adobe premiere and sony vegas and is it worth the slightly higher price premium for coffee lake if its better than ryzen?
  19. 1050ti would do for cs but if you ever wanted to play any new games(triple a games) you would want a 1060 6gb
  20. what do you meen medium? what resolution is your monitor?
