    Yet another old power supply problem thread (10yr old corsair TX650W)

    I use the Sleep function heavily, so I guess I would need to look into what BIOS modifications I would need to make for that.

    Yet another old power supply problem thread (10yr old corsair TX650W)

    So, it's as easy as just disabling "Fast Startup" through the Power Options setting? If that's all I need to do then I guess I'm good to go since my rig only has M.2 NVME SSDs.

    Yet another old power supply problem thread (10yr old corsair TX650W)

    Dang, I'm glad I read this thread. As you can see from the old thread that was just necro'd by me, I pulled a moderately-used Corsair TX850W out of an ancient derelict computer and was considering hooking it up to to a modern MSI X570-A Pro motherboard. Sounds like I should probably just buy a...

    TX850 with 6 PCI-E cables?

    Wow. I just pulled a TX850W out of a now derelict 2006 build that ran an Opteron 190. I had purchased it from a local Best Buy for $90 in a panic when the original PSU died. And what do you know, it has six PCIe 6x2 cables too! I found this thread when I did a search since I was wondering...

    --------------------- Status: Resolved ? ----------------------- I brought my computer over to a friend's house. He's basically an expert on computer hardware and troubleshooting. We reinstalled drivers cleanly and tested with his GTX 760 and it ran it just fine. We benchmarked the GTX 760 and...

    Is my video card dying? The card works, but FPS is very low now.

    Well, I've been using the computer for about 48 hours now since this all began and it seems to run fine. So, I'm wondering if the problem is some sort of damage to Registry keys or driver/settings-related problem. I think I'm going to format one of my extra spindle drives and do a fresh...

    Is my video card dying? The card works, but FPS is very low now.

    You think overheating would increase system boot time from 30 seconds to 100 seconds?
