I found the answer. It was my joystick. lol Same Joystick, the Logitech 3D Pro. I was playing FSX Steam Edition and left it hooked up. It's been refusing to shutdown since I connected the joystick. I didn't put two and two together. How could something made to work with a PC not make it work...

I usually set my monitor to shutdown/sleep in 20 minutes through the windows power options. It's the one where you can set when your PC goes into sleep mode. I tried turning the monitor off and on again. I tried restarting my PC. I even shut the PC down and turned the monitor off and...

Depends on the cost of the laptop, how new it is and if you can get a new one for as much as the repair costs. At least that's how I would look at it. If it's out of warranty you could try a local PC place. Geek Squad might do it. You can find them in Best Buy. It doesn't look like the actual...

It's seated right. The issue was with the Arctic cooler. They sent me the new hardware and it worked fine. Of course it took 4 days. But I have it all installed in my case and up and running. Everything works fine now thankfully.

Good idea. Guess I will do that.

I called Arctic a few minutes ago and explained my issue to the guy on the phone. He said I need a special backplate with longer threaded holes. They are sending me one for free. It will take 2-3 days though. The issue I have is that Arctic knows this is an issue cause they make these special...

No. lol It would be easier to just use the stock cooler and look for a better one. Which sucks cause I paid $50 for this one and I would have liked to have used it.

I am using the correct ones. At least the ones that Arctic had in their directions. I have tried the others and they won't work. Thanks for the welcome.

I am having an issue with the Esports Duo by Arctic. It won't mount properly on my ASUS AM4 X570 TUF Gaming Plus motherboard. The cooler sits on top of the CPU as normal but bolts don't go all the way through the holes. It won't sit on top of the bolts like it should. These are pics of my...
