Hi, I have recently tried to over clock my CPU, (and it worked) but No more than 2 mins in the operating system, it crashes with a Bsod. I did a RAM test and I got more than half a million errors, on both sticks! I undid the overclock and my RAM was fine. later I tried the overclock again and the RAM did the same thing! today I tried to overclock ...

Hello Everyone, I am building a computer and need help understanding the specifics of RAM. May you please explain the importance and benefit of Memory Configuration (Dual, Quad Channel), Speed Rating (1600MHz, 1866MHz, etc.) and SPD Speed.

I'm in the midst of helping my dad do some basic upgrades on his machine. It's a bit dated, but it suits his needs and he doesn't want to spend the money to build a new one. Anyways, someone told me that if you had DDR3 memory it was backwards compatible with DDR2 and would just slow itself down according to the motherboard. Well, I bought this ...

Not long ago I just replaced a Mushkin 8gig-1333 pair because one card became defective. I installed two new G.Skill snipers (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231611). For some reason my new ram will only go up to 3 gigs at transfer rate and will cap out. I am running a GTX 480- EVGA-SDK with a AMD 970 AM3+ all on a Asrock ...

I finished my first build and got it up and running just this last March. First and foremost I love the computer…it is primarily used as a gaming rig and has performed well; however, I believe it should be running “better” than what it is. I can’t max out all of the settings for games. High or very high across the board usual will work but I want ...

I know this may seem like an obvious question, but all I keep hearing is that it boosts performance ( and in no specific way ). All I keep hearing is that you overclock in order to make use of full potential of your processor. Can anyone explain to me how overclocking a cpu, memory, and video cards has real world benefits. And if so why it is ...

I have a Dell 4550 desktop it was purchased in 2004, it has windows xp running on it. I had found online that it could be upgraded from 512 MB of Ram to 1Gig then on some forums of people with this machine they all said that it would run at 2Gigs of ram safely, so I called Dell and they said that it would run fine on 2 Gigs of Ram so I bought 2 ...
