Hey guys,
So my girlfriend's mom has an old wireless G router that they've had for 10 years now and it's starting to give out on them finally. They've asked me to look for a good router to replace it. It's been a while since I've done a lot of tech stuff so I came here looking for some advice...
So a friend of mine was looking around the internet for a new laptop for his wife.
This is the laptop they were going to buy but it went out of stock:
Acer Laptop Aspire E5-573G-59C3 Intel Core i5 5200U (2.20GHz) 8GB Memory 1TB HDD 8GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce 940M 15.6" Windows 8.1 - Newegg.com
He...
Does this video card require a PCI-E power cable?
Amazon.com: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 1GB GDDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI Low Profile PCI-Express Video Card N610GT-MD1GD3/LP: Computers & Accessories
Alright guys, made it through a full game with no crashing so hopefully this was all that needed fixing. I appreciate everyone who responded back to me in such a timely fashion, you guys are awesome. Thanks again everyone! :)
Okay so I just tested the temperature in-game and it stayed consistently at around 30 degrees C. Is that cool enough to play without crashing do you think? Especially now that the fans are working?
Okay so I just downloaded a tool extension for the Nvidia Control panel that allows me to control the GPU fan speed, it was at 0% and when I changed it to 100% the fans started running.
I'm going to let the fans run for a bit while I get food, and when I come back I'll test the temps with my...
I haven't checked GPU temps yet, is there a good tool you would recommend to do so?
Also the whole system shuts down, and after a couple seconds it boots back up, not just the monitors. No thermal warning message on startup either. My CPU core temps right now are between 95-105 degrees...
I've both manually run the script to fix this issue and also did the Microsoft "Fix it" program to resolve the issue.
Will my computer stop crashing now in the middle of my game?

Hey guys,
So for a while now my computer has been randomly turning off when I'm in the middle of a League of Legends game, Minecraft, and sometimes just browsing the internet or watching Netflix. I installed Core Temp to check to see if my CPU was overheating and noticed that during League of...
Hey,
I just wanted to ask a follow up question. I noticed with the CPU you recommended the reviews mention the CPU can get pretty hot and the CPU doesn't necessarily do an adequate job of keeping it cool.
Is there a non-stock CPU fan you would recommend to go with it?
