Go-go. I have to admit, this power supply has served me well up until now. But lately, my PC has started shutting itself off randomly. It runs for maybe two minutes before just dying. Is it possible the PSU is the culprit? I'm leaning toward yes. Any recommendations on what to get for this ASUS motherboard?
Hey everyone. What’s your take on these builds? Are the prices actually fair, or are they totally inflated? Is there anything here worth picking up if I have about 3k to spend?
I wouldn't even bother trying to install Kodi on this thing. The latest software you can actually flash is version 5.0.

If you want something that actually works and has everything you need, look at this:
I’m a Chrome user, and I run the Blokada app. It completely wipes out ads in Chrome, my games, YouTube, you name it... Just download Blokada and feel free to use whatever browser you prefer.
Everything installed perfectly. Now I just need to get used to Windows 10. It recognized everything exactly like you guys said and grabbed all the drivers without a hitch. Thanks, everyone.
Total nonsense. I have ten friends with kids, and not once have I heard of anyone's laptop dying because of some vibration. Honestly, it’s gotta be something else...

Make sure you switch your BIOS to AHCI mode before you start installing Windows onto that SSD.
Timothy Kim60 said:I was actually thinking of Speccy. Give CPU-Z a shot instead.
As for the SSD, it’s working fine. From what I can tell, you just plugged it in and called it a day. You still need to format it within Windows; if you had installed Windows directly onto it, that part would already be done.
Hey everyone. Could I get a little help here? I just installed a new SSD and a Graphics Card, but the system isn't recognizing either of them properly. The SSD shows up in Speccy and in the BIOS, but it’s missing from "My Computer." As for the Graphics Card, I can hear it running and feel it, but the PC doesn't seem to recognize it even though I've already installed the drivers. I have the HDMI plugged directly into the card and connected to my TV, and since I'm getting a picture, surely the card is working, right? If it weren't working, there wouldn't be any video at all. Here is a photo so you can see what I mean. What should my next move be? Thanks.
