I want to upgrade to an i7 9700f and would like to know if it is possible? I do have an dedicated gpu so i do not care about the igpu.

I'm fairly inexperienced when it comes to troubleshooting internal PC hardware. I think I may have a dead motherboard but I wanted to post here asking for some general troubleshooting advice. Hoping to either have what I currently know confirmed or be informed of some other ways I can troubleshoot/g

I think it has latest bios A05. Cpu is i5-650.  I know, old cpu. it looked okay when Win 10 install process started and I saw that files being written to HDD, but then it would fail all of a sudden and gave error msg. Tried twice. Same.  Win 10 usb installation media is definitely good. I

I'm getting ready to order a H60x and Heatsink for my R12 so I can add a CPU cooler. Am I overlooking anything? H60x- I guess it's the same size as the H60?  Amazon.com: Corsair H60x RGB Elite Liquid CPU Cooler - 16 Dynamic RGB LEDs - SP120 RGB Elite Series PWM Fan with AirGuide Technology -

I have an issue with my Dell Optiplex 9020 MT. Every time I try to use the USB 3.0 port it works as a 2.0 port. I want to do vr with it and it can do older vr with the gpu and USB 2.0 that's in it but the USB 2.0 is holding it back with games like vrchat and recroom. I did see a post about this but

Hello folks, Hoping to get some troubleshooting help. Just got back from a 2 day work trip, shut down my 2018 Aurora R8 before leaving, now it won't power back up.  Ironically I do work in IT but the symptoms would tell me a dead PSU. Doing some research on here, it be a corrupted bios update.

My son has a XPS 8960. It has integrated graphics with Intel UHD 770, no GPU. There is only a single display port to connect to a monitor, no hdmi, vga or dvi ports. He has two Dell monitors (se2722H) with hdmi and vga ports. We can hook up the monitors to duplicate but not extend. Have tried variou

Please I would like to know how many watts and volts that my CPU fan can run?? I'm using my Optiplex 5080 mini tower, i7 10700 CPU

Greetings to all! I have a Precision 3650 Tower workstation with an i5-10600 (65w) and a 300 watt PSU, 2TB ssd/2TB hdd/dvd-rw and coolers. I am thinking of upgrading my CPU to an i7-11700 (65w, box) and I wonder if you can give me any advice and pinpoint things to consider prior to upgrading. Fir

I'm using an Optiplex 7010. Whenever I turn the PC on, around 15 seconds later two beeps sound in quick succession (beep beep), with no display to monitor. I don't think this is a RAM issue because when I removed all the sticks of ram, a 1-3-2 beep code sounded as expected. I've tested all the ram s

i did set to high performance plan in power options. i did set my cpu fan speed at highest rpm in BIOS. i did set my AMD Radeon RX 640 graphics card fan at highest rpm in SpeedFan app. Because i live in my warm or hot room by the time when winter ends. Will this 460w power supply work for my optiple

How come I run Power Supply Unit Self Test, my power supply has no BIST button, I'm using my Optiplex 5080 mini tower

As title says, just wondering if anyone has any information on what thickness was used for the GPU thermal pads. Had the system since new and figure it's been a few years and though I'd do a complete service on it. Would like to order the correct items instead of taking the card apart a couple times

Hi All, Any guidance greatly appreciated. I rarely shut down my 8950 XPS, today I noticed it did a BIOS update to 1.17.1 (I was on 1.16.1). It had a hard time coming back up from the auto shutdown, saying memory configuration has changed (which it hadn't). I finally got it back up only to find it

I have an Inspiron 5676. Recently, I had an irrecoverable System Info BSOD error happen.  So, I got my data, then just upgrade to Win11.  That worked for about 4 weeks, and then I got another BSOD.  This was an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error from QCAMain10x64.sys.  Now, I can't ev

I have an Optiplex 9020 tower with i7 4770. I want to replace my GPU. Now I have a gt 1030. I wonder what would be better for my PC. A GTX 1650 or a 1660? Thanks for your help in advance!

I'm not one to go through my hard drive and toss things I don't like. Nevertheless, I did come across this folder in the C: drive called C:\Drivers which apparently contains drivers that Dell installed in my XPS 8960 at the factory: I wouldn't complain about these, but they take up 4.19 GB of dri

I bought a 5820 today. There are no GPU cables, which are usually 6+2 pin cables at the output which are kept in a neat place at the back of the PCI area. <Private data removed from public view. DELL-Admin> One item is "379-BBCY : No Additional Cable". Does that mean it came with none of thes

I am having trouble accessing certain websites or parts of websites when my PC is connected with a CAT5 cable. I get intermittent "connection reset" errors, "bad record mac alert" errors, and "http2 protocol" errors even with different web browsers.  This particularly happens with login pages.

The specifications and what not on Dell's website claim that I can only install up to the 30 series (or Ryzen's equivalent) for a GPU. I have no idea if it's possible to install a 40 series, and I don't want to make an uninformed purchase. Worst case, I install a 30 series. Best case, I install a 40
