    Solved Post Upgrade low FPS and overall performance issues.

    I did all of the above, downloaded drivers, reinstalled windows, also upgraded to windows 11. Now I'm getting pretty stable 144fps (V-sync capped), I still expected maybe too much out of my rig, but the bottleneck is really hurting my performance, even more than I anticipated. I'll try to...

    Solved Post Upgrade low FPS and overall performance issues.

    Good to know, but I was thinking of upgrading my CPU either way. I didn't know how to do that, didn't think it was necessary either. Is there a way to do it now, to kind of save it ? Or do I have to do a clean reinstall of windows ? I used to have it like that, but back when I bought the PC...

    Solved Post Upgrade low FPS and overall performance issues.

That confirms, that my motherboard is indeed fried, i’ll be installing a new one tomorrow along with...

    Solved Post Upgrade low FPS and overall performance issues.

    Yes, firstly i'd like to appologize for the specs details or rather lack there of. I was generally pissed yesterday, just wanted to see what other people thought, maybe someone has encountered the problem before or something, i don't really know. Here are my specs...

    Solved Post Upgrade low FPS and overall performance issues.

    Hello brothers, i've recently upgraded my PC's GPU and I am pretty unsatisfied with the results so far. My friend bought the old GPU off of me and in fact is having better performance than I am with my new one (his rig is almost identical to mine). We haven't got any benchmarking software so we...

    Solved Hard Drive disappearing.

    Sorry for my late response, I've been busy for the past few days. I feel like the Hard drive is dead, it's disappearing every time i try to write something on it or read something from it, well anyways, thanks for your help.

    Solved Hard Drive disappearing.

    Right, so I looked inside the laptop and I found something ? I don't know if this is causing the problem, but I've found that there's something with the connector. Like there's that blue plastic that should perfectly aline with the end of the motherboard, right ? But it doesn't, it's sticking...

    Solved Hard Drive disappearing.

    Is there any possibility that something went wrong when installing the drive ? Like they made a mistake, have you ever heard that something like that happened ?

    Solved Hard Drive disappearing.

    Well, what are the most common causes for a HDD to fail, because i don't actually know and just like to see if anything will add up.

    Solved Hard Drive disappearing.

    Okay, i think i found what were you asking about. So what i did was that i went on this site : https://www.seagate.com/gb/en/support/downloads/ Downloaded the so called "seatools" and ran a scan for the malfunctioning driver. But the scan failed, because the driver vanished before it was done...

    Solved Hard Drive disappearing.

    I'm sorry, but I don't seem to find any site. The only thing I found when in bios setup is that the malfunctioning hard drive is ST1000LM049-2GH172 When I search this term it only shows stores where I can buy that hdd. I'm really sorry if I didn't get what you asked from me.

    Solved Hard Drive disappearing.

    Hello, For the past few weeks, maybe months, i've been experiencing issues with my hard drive. First time I experienced any trouble with it was when my games on steam stopped working for unknown reasons. When I checked the integrity of game files, it said, that nearly 30GB is corrupted and...
