    Persistent threat? "prefs.js?

    Is this something I should be worried about? AVG says it quarantined the threat, but every time I scan it comes up, so clearly whatever this is, it's not getting removed by AVG!

    Kernel-Power 41 task (63) - Please kill me...

    Damn! I thought I found the problem. That's too bad.

    Kernel-Power 41 task (63) - Please kill me...

    I think I might have found the problem. Check out this pic and tell me what you think? https://www.reddit.com/r/computers/comments/9n4hfg/did_i_find_some_bullshit_or_is_this_thing/ I'm a bit confused, because it's not just a missing pin. The whole wire for the socket is missing.

    Kernel-Power 41 task (63) - Please kill me...

    Not sure about a computer store to test this thing. I live in a third world country and don't trust the locals. They're sloppy. So I was gaming and I made it up to 128 volts on the power draw for my GPU and then it shut off. Is there any way to hard cap the power draw?

    Kernel-Power 41 task (63) - Please kill me...

    I just did that and booted up some games to test it out. I was playing for about six to eight minutes when I got another shutdown. What else would you recommend before I start buying new parts?

    Kernel-Power 41 task (63) - Please kill me...

    My bios is version 3803. I was going to update it, but the file is this weird little thing I don't know what to do with because it's not an .exe and then I later heard you can brick your motherboard if you screw up, so I didn't bother.

    Kernel-Power 41 task (63) - Please kill me...

    So this critical error that I'm getting happens when my newly built rig shuts down at random intervals, though only while I'm gaming. Further information on the error as stated in the event logs: "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the...

    Build A vs Build B, which is stranger for gaming, and how much?

    I would get a better processor, but by the time I do that, and then get the slightly better GPU, I'm out another $100. I'm trying to cut costs. As you can see, there's no case there. That's because I'm going to build a semi open case out of wood and glass. Shipping costs for me are $10 a pound...

    Build A vs Build B, which is stranger for gaming, and how much?

    Looks like I'm going to end up settling on this, or something very close to it. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/LambentTyto/saved/PCHccf I decided to downgrade on the GPU and just wait till general prices come down (hopefully). I may go with a 1060 3GB (non ti) which seems to go for about $250...

    Yeah. Windows 10, free version, lol.

    Build A vs Build B, which is stranger for gaming, and how much?

    A: So my first build thoughts are matching up to this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xxpJbX B: But somebody else is recommending this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9mvCLJ I just don't know. I'd really rather go with a smaller (physically) build for portability, but if the second build is a...

    Looking for a video card that can run new games on ULTRA

    Yeah. But my budget doesn't really permit me to buy a thousand dollar GPU, lol. I'm going to have to role with the 1060. I'll survive even if I can't play every game on ultra settings.

    Looking for a video card that can run new games on ULTRA

    Oh, well, for my first build, I think that's totally fine. Thanks for clearing that up. I was assuming that since the 1060 is half as much that this card was kind of crap, lol.

    Looking for a video card that can run new games on ULTRA

    Really? Then why's the GTX 1080 so expensive?

    Looking for a video card that can run new games on ULTRA

    Well, I guess I should be thankful they're coming down at least, but still, the prices. Outrageous! I'm on newegg right now looking at the 1070s. The cheapest ones are around $550. I still feel that's really expensive. I generally like ti play triple A titles - mostly RPGs and shooters, but...

    Looking for a small case that's light weight. Suggestions?

    I definitely want to go with a dedicated video card. I assume it won't fit inside this little guy? It's an awesome case, though.

    Looking for a small case that's light weight. Suggestions?

    I was recommended a Fractal Design - Node 202, which looks like a nice little case. Was just wondering what else is out there that's compact and light. I'd prefer something as small as possible, but not so small that you have to get super specially small guts that cost extra because of their...

    Looking for a video card that can run new games on ULTRA

    I was recommended a GTX 1080, but the price is through the roof. Are there any other brands that can run new games on the highest settings that aren't seven hundred dollars? I remember a few years ago that you could get top end (not future proofed) video cards for around $300-350. I think I'm...

    Built in microphone won't work when I plug my headphones in?

    Thanks for the reply. I've already gone in there like you've mentioned, but nothing seems to fix this problem. Amy ideas?
