    I have an EVGA 1000G Gold Power 1000w PSU. The thing is... it's probably seen about 8 to 9 years of service but that "service" has been far below what the PSU is capable of.

    Please don't laugh, I need a new graphics card

    I'll skip the editorial. The last game I played was COD-MW. For someone who doesn't game much (any more) my Radeon RX570 let me play it at what I considered an acceptable level. Yes, I can feel you all cringing right now. I miss the heyday when (great) FPS games were coming out 3 times year...

    Network Card not recognized on 1st boot

    This problem started out of nowhere. Upon a 1st boot of Win10, the onboard network card is not recognized. Once I "restart" the computer, it is recognized and works as expected. After trying to figure this out, I found out that if I leave my monitor turned off during the initial boot and...
