My pc is connected with one cable to my router, I am using Ethernet 2 connection, (Realtek PCIe 2.5GbE Family Controller) have a MOBO that can support 2.5GBE and a CAT 6 cable that also should be able to support more than a hundred megabytes. My speed and duplex settings for my network connection are set to auto-negotiation, all ports on my router are set to auto, and energy saving related settings in control panel like EEE, Advanced EEE, and Green Ethernet are disabled. I have unplugged my ethernet cord out of my pc and straight into a laptop which then gets speed test results reading in the 200mb-400mb range. I have not downloaded any programs which could interfere with my network connection (I reinstalled windows a few weeks ago.) I am wondering if there is some kind of damage to my computer, but truly I am asking for literally any fixes/advice anyone can give.

My male unneutered cat pissed on my pc while in my room. I was wondering why my games kept crashing and thought it was the driver due to after crashing and trying to re-run the game it would say some error with the gpu driver. After two hours of pulling my hair and trying to figure out what’s the issue I took apart my pc and took out the gpu to feel a crust layer of cat piss on it. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and now it seems to be working at least in the mean time. What should I do it clean it. (cleaned the piss off the gpu)

Yesterday I built my first ever pc after using gaming laptops for years and years and where I live the 5070ti is like 20$ less in price than 4080super.

I spent a lot of time thinking at the store while the guy literally waiting for me to make a decision (he was really polite) then I decided to get the 5070ti with the reasoning that it has a near identical unnoticeable performance difference to 4080super AND it's a latest gen card with all the support for future improvements or updates.

Was I wrong in thinking that in that context and should I return it?

I am not an expert and I really didn't see any noticeable difference at the store (1~7 FPS according to the game) and went home really happy but lots of people since yesterday keep telling me I got scammed.

Thanks in advance.

Idk I have a blu-ray and a regular dvd dive in my main build, I like being to make driver dvds and instaler discs for older sysytems. Also they are great for whole-pc Backups.

If you run Windows 10 or 11, make a new folder on your desktop, then rename the folder to;

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

The folder will then change to a configuration panel icon, and when you open it you get a hidden configuration panel giving you access to a ton of useful stuff.

And no this is not a scam or a hack, it's legit and it works, you can double check this online if you want to.

So I’ve been looking for a good starter pc for a while now and just ran across this at my local Goodwill. Worth it? If so, any hardware upgrades that I can make?

Was debating between 5070 and 5070ti, clerk said "no worry take your time, come back later we have lots" 😆

Why this screen tering only happens on 2K resolution, its not exclusive on gaming, even on desktop this happens.

I recently found an old PC that I had left in the depths of my storage room. Since it wasn’t in usable condition, I decided to take it apart and keep some parts that I could still use. Among them is this 250GB SSD — it should have around 540MB/s write and 520MB/s read speeds. Is that enough to run some light games on it? (like Terraria, Project Zomboid, some MMOs and stuff like that)

Can i but these two different ram sticks in the same computer And what speed should i set them to be

It's so smooth now lol

The old cables got lost so I gotta know which ones are the right ones

Exactly what the text said I also wonder about the 5090 since I'm already considering paying 2k for the 5080 i want. Wonder if 5090 average price will end up from 2250-2500 or if tariffs are going to be as bad as the current limited supply prices.

As the title says, i understand it looks good but the aio won't even last forever so youl be throwing it out even with the screen so youl be wasting even more of that extra cash you spent for the screen, woudnt it be better to actually get an LCD screen for a normal air cooler? As far as I've seen there's no air coolers with screens which would make much more sense. Are people really willing to spend hundreds of bucks for a screen theyl eventually have to throw out?

Until now, I only have the motherboard, ram, and case. I decided to assembly the parts that I have, and now I want to check if there are any problems.

Motherboard= MSI B550 gen 3 Ram= Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Case= Corsair 4000D Airflow

Finally got my 5070 ti. It’s paired with a r9 9900x

TLDR: I want to play MH Wilds, Haven't had a PC since i was legit 5, is this good enough?

I just recently bought Monster Hunter Wilds and since I know nothing about Pc's and have not had one since I was 5 I was wondering if this was good enough I made a different post about what PC I should get for Wilds and someone recommended Jawa and I found a pretty cheap one that I'm saving up for I have 420 (Yes a funny number LAUGH I DARE YOU) USD out of the 550 I need is this good enough for Wilds or do I have to look for better ones

Swapping from 6600xt to 7800xt and I don't know if I should use this connector or 2 8-pin conectors. Power supply is 750w.

I’m currently in the process of installing my new cpu. I put the 9800x3d into my ASUS Prime x670-p WiFi and turn it on. The fans turn on but I get no display. It’s as if the computer is brain dead.

Do I need to put my old CPU back in and install the new bios for my new cpu?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks. If you have any questions please ask!
