    Router for Girlfriend's parents

    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...

    Random Crashes

    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?

    Random Crashes

    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...

    Random Crashes

    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...

    Random Crashes

    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?

    Upgrading Mobo, CPU, and Ram

    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?
