PC Hardware & Support
Building, upgrading and fixing computers.
Just finished rewiring my mid tower build and I'm unreasonably proud of it. Everything runs behind teh motherboard tray, a PSU shroud hold it all in place, and you can finally see teh components instead of a spaghetti mess. Show me yours! Especially the back…
so annoyed rn ive followed every guide online: disabled SysMain, turned off Search indexing, even uninstalled some apps, still: The all in one PC is pegged after opening teh browser :) My patience is gone. Is there a way to actually find out whats using the…
so annoyed rn my laptop GPU has started showing artifacts in games. colored blocks, stretched polygons, flickering lines across teh screen: It doesnt crash right away, but its getting more frequent. i updated the drievr yesterday and nothing changed. Is this…

ok weird one my BIOS showed a warning at startup and told me to back up and replace the disk. In Windows, teh health tool shows: Thats my external backup drive. Media and Data Integrity Errors is the highlighted line. i have years of family photos on it and…
help!! strangest thing :/ under full load my PC is rock solid. but under light load, it thorws this: i had an undervolt configured a few months ago and never had a problem until recently. A BIOS update came out around the same time 🙏 im confused about…
long time lurker first post lol total panic moment. Resolve Studio after restoring from a backup: half my clips are offline. The footage isnt deleted, just moved... i really dont want to rebuild teh timeline by hand. How do i reconnect everything? ive…
Render job failed. Again. Resolve Studio, exporting to ProRes, fails at teh very last frame: Playback in teh timeline works fine... i dont understand why export doesnt :D Any debugging tips?? ive exported many projects without issues before, this is teh…
i'm editing multicam 4K interviews in my NLE, and as soon as i add Fusion titles, playback stops and i get this: The client deadlnie is tomorrow. My GPU isnt that old, sooo I thought it would handle this. Is there a way to get through this project without…
ok so i recorded a gameplay capture and dropped it into Resolve. Everythings perfectly in sync at teh start, but after 30 minutes teh audio is noticeably behind: cutting and nudging every few minutes is driving me crazy. is there a real fix for this? ive…
ugh. ive tried Ubuntu three times over the years and gave up every time. Something always pulled me back, usually gaming. ppl keep telling me its different now. What changed for you? Im curious what a realistic first month looks like for someone who knows…
im literally losing my mind here this drift is ruining my project, a webcam recording, 20 minutes in, and voices are clearly out of sync: i used my NLE. Is it the recording, the settings, or teh software? Id like to fix this at the source, so future…

ok weird one every project starts teh same way: I import iPhone HEVC footage into DaVinci Resolve and get media offline right after import: Ive been converting files with random online tools, but teh quality suffers. Is there a proper workflow? id like a…
i opened my project in DaVinci Resolve after moving files to a new drive, and my heart sank: half my clips show Media Offline. the files are all still there, i can see them in Explorer. i have weeks of edits in this project. pls tell me theres a quick way to…
after a BIOS update, my monitor just says No Signal and goes to sleep.. 😅 the PC is definately on, fans spinning, keyboard lights up. i'm using a DisplayPort cable that worked fine before. i've tried turning everything off and on again. i'm afraid i've…
help!! heres the crash: And heres the twist: i added a second pair of stciks to make four, same model, and thats when it started. The DDR4 3200 kit was fine alone. Do four sticks really change things that much?? The crashes are random enough that i cant…
hmmmm ok I'm brand new to editing and tried importing OBS recordings into my editor... result: no video, only audio: The files play fine in my media player. I don't understand why the editor can't read them. What do I need to install or change? I've tried…

im literally losing my mind here my wireless earbuds keep disconnecting from my PC roughly every five minutes. The sound cuts out, the reconnect chime plays, and sometimes it doesn't come back at all. Device Manager shows this after one of teh drops: On my…
ok so confession: my only backup of my tax documents is cloud storage... im fairly suree thats not enough, but every guide i find is either enterprise level or a sales pitch. whats a sensible, low effort setup for a normal person with a desktop and a laptop?…
Genuine question, not trying to start a war. For pepole doing photo editnig: are you on Windows, macOS, or Linux, and would u switch? 😅 I'm tempted by Linux Mint because my lapotp feels slow on Windows and I like the idea of controlling updates. But I…
