So for the last 6 months after building my PC, I've been experiencing random shutdowns and reboots (with no BSOD) while at idle or opening programs. Never happens with gaming or stress test. Well, I just figured out the issue and it is extremely weird. I noticed that I can replicate the...

Hi. I’ll start off by mentioning that I only use Ubuntu (20.04 currently), but I’m unconvinced this is the issue. This has been a long term issue for me, but until recently, I thought it was related to the card or drivers. I’ve been going round in circles and still can’t be certain what is...

My current motherboard (MSI Z590 PRO WIFI) has coil whine even under modest load (for example, scrolling in Chrome). The noise definitely comes from the VRM area. Compared to some of the more expensive MBs, my MB has rather modest VRM (12+2 virtual phases, 6+2 real phases, RT3609BE...

Hi all, I am a little confused by onboard graphics on a motherboard and CPU. I thought if the motherboard supported onboard graphics then I should be able to use it to do basic tasks and even possibly run odd games, is this not true? For example, the Gigabyte...
