Make sure you update to latest BIOS when you get it, but it has everything you need already in terms of hardware.

Try to set it up as a Yahoo account but use your Cox credentials. I've had to help grandparents with this and using Yahoo mail via web browser was the easiest. I didn't realize you could still use Live Mail in 2025.

Hopefully you have proper permissions and your users aren't local admins, which should prevent them from being able to do much from Run or CMD/Terminal anyway.

Update your CPU-Z? On quite a bit older version and can't imagine you're truly beating a 9800X3D.

Nicely done, glad to see that hardware getting properly used. Whoever put that AIO up against a glass panel has no business building anything with moving parts.

Right click "open file location" (might be greyed out) or "Properties" is probably a good starting point.

Oh good lord, yeah get that glass panel off and you should be golden. You're lucky you didn't cook it, 100oC is thermal shut down so makes sense you were seeing that. The AIO is useless as is with the glass there. I still suggest a new case. I'd have some words for whoever built that...

Have been wondering if I'll regret going non X3D, but really been pretty pleased so far now that I have a stable one. Spent $270 on it and almost within swinging distance of ones nearly twice the price.

Your radiator should be above your pump, guessing your H100 isn't moving liquid as well as it should. There's a lot of jank with this, not gonna lie. If the internal hardware is good, I'd grab a cheap case and rebuild it properly. On a second look, is that AIO cooler in the bottom pressed...

One of the rare times pictures actually confuse me more. The heck is going on there.

Validated temps using different software? The TJunction on that chip is 100oC, so technically "safe" but that really is way too high. Balatro should not have you in the 60s, at least. H60 might just not be enough, depending on your airflow. Is it up against a filter or dense mesh that would...

HP laptops of that era were notorious for cooking their AMD- sorry-- ATI GPUs.

While disassembling to RMA the CPU, I stripped out the standoff holes and had to use pliers to get them off the motherboard. I guess I've torn it down a few too many times the past 6 months. Said screw it and got an NZXT H6 Flow, which now makes this a complete rebuild. AMD RMA was 36 hour turn...

Pirated = not paying the license associated with a licensed software product. You are using an unactivated copy of Windows, which means you didn't pay for a license, and is thus pirated. Does it work? Probably. Can you be sure you won't have random issues as a result? Nope. Is pirating defined...

Hey guys, I have been chasing an issue with my build ever since I put it together back in October. I am pretty experienced and have exhausted tons of troubleshooting over at least 100 hours of work the past several months. In short, I am getting hard system reboots when under heavy gaming load...

Not sure what you mean by "went avow" since you used it twice, but I would start with trying to contact the old admin, and see if he'll give you access. If that bridge is burned, you might have an easier time starting from scratch in a new Workspace, and moving files over. You doing the initial...

Did you provide the entire page for the prompt or just his post? Funny how a few of my talking points and metaphors are reused here.

Frankly, your whole post reeks of early 2000s computer mentality. I imagine your qualms with Windows after 7 are based somewhere in security concerns and forced updates, which I understand, but you're missing out on a lot of stability and software improvements. Particularly in modern games...

Not sure you'll find that information publicly available, Acer might be able to tell you. Why do you need to know? You're going to have a bad time trying to swap that out or similar. Laptop motherboards aren't really serviceable, nor worth the time/effort.
