I always need a misc computer part.... power cord, sata cable, usb cable, hdd screws, case screws, mobo mounting screws, sata power cable, 80mm fan, 120mm fan, etc... Is there a list somewhere of all the misc computer parts we should keep in stock to avoid slow downs? I tried searching on here...

Thank you all for helping. I opted to move forward with LukeTbk's suggestion above. I went for the 2x16gb of ram option. I'll keep an eye on the PSU and upgrade if I get any weird PSU-type issues.

Existing Hardware: GPU: GeForce GTX 980 PSU: EVGA 500W W1 100-W1-0500-KR 80+ SSD: Samsung 870 EVO SATA SSD 500GB Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Monitor: Acer Nitro XV272U Vbmiiprx 27" Zero-Frame WQHD 2560 x 1440 Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | Agile-Splendor IPS...

Thank you for your help. Per the microsoft.com URL: I downloaded the 64-bit driver and installed it. I originally received this message: I was able to select "Install" despite receiving that message, and then after it finished installing, I received this error message: I went into the Mouse...

I am trying to figure out if there is any solution to installing an old Microsoft mouse driver over the newer mouse driver that comes with Win10. Background: I've been using a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 since 2003. The mouse, in my opinion, is superior to all other mice simply due to...

bruh, you saved my life. thank you. I couldn't find that thing for some reason. probably all the panic that i'd be forced to go to 16:9.

I have been really happy with my Dell UP3017's. However, you can't buy them new from Amazon anymore. Are there any good alternatives that are 30", IPS, and 16:10 aspect ratio? These came color calibrated, which was also pretty nice, so that'd be ideal for the next monitor as well. I'm not...

10-4. Thank you for the info. I'll work on it this weekend.

Any issues using that tool on a Win7 machine? I've heard MSFT tries to upgrade your computer to Win10/Win11 very sneakily.

Great, but still waiting on the Win10 to show up. I tried to DL the ISO from MSFT, but they wanted me to install some downloader to download the file, which I refuse to do, so I'm on hold for now. Also, the new version of memtest86+ won't boot on the machine either, which is disappointing, so I...

So you're saying you can test the RAM from inside the OS now? If so, what program do you recommend? I haven't tried. I ordered Windows 10 and it arrives May 9th. I put an Ubuntu Server disc in there and the system would boot to that, so it sounds like my memtest86+ 5.01 is no longer supported...

Understood on the SSD. I've always tested RAM and HDD prior to use, just to confirm there are no issues with either. In the event I find any issues up front, it allows me time to swap it out with the Retailer instead of going through the warranty with the manufacturer.

I was able to get XMP enabled, but can't get the system to boot Memtest86+ 5.01. The motherboard doesn't recognize any bootable devices in the bios. It sees my DVD rom, SSD and HDD, but doesn't say I can boot to any of them and the boot device priority is greyed out. On another machine, I was...

Great Info. Appreciate it. Thank you

Good to know. I'll make sure to enable XMP in my bios. Thanks for the tip.
