It might not make sense so ill explain, basically I've just bought a prebuilt and a separate gpu since its cheaper, and I'm confused on if the cables needed to power it come with the gpu or already on the power supply

I have a few games that crash quite often and all of them recommend changing the page file setting, most notable Star Citizen. My question is, do I set the page file on my C drive, or on the drive my games are on?

I got somewhat scammed on ebay for an "open box" GPU that actually wasn't. It functions and has video output, but cannot maintain videogames or stress tests longer than a few seconds, and usually exits from a memory error. It however outputs video from video output and plays browser videos under low utilization.

Is this still usable for video transcoding let alone anything? If a memory error is the issue, I imagine it's a problem when processing a whole video file, but I've no idea if my hypothesis is true or if its usable in any other way.

I don't really know ffmpeg well enough to understand how it handles memory, so any insights at all are appreciated.

I don't know much of gaming since I use consoles mostly and it's easy to check region related stuff. I assume laptops just work anywhere?

So I have just upgraded my ram from 4 8gb sticks to 4 16GB sticks( patriot Viper steel DDR4 3200MHz)

I currently use a ASRock z390 taichi ultimate motherboard.

Unfortunately when I plugged in new sticks and plugged everything back in my monitors had a black screen. I’ve checked all cables, plugs etc. I also reinserted my old RAM card to see if it was a faulty or damaged slot but everything booted up fine.

New ram cards lights up when I turn on PC just the black screen. Is my upgrade potentially not compatible?

I have a Z790 UD AX with 2x16 6000mhz DDR5 trident z and an i5-12600k.

When installing ram into either 2/4 or 1/3 the ez debug lights cycle vga - cpu - and hovers on ram. My bios is up to date and I know all my parts are compatible and work fine other than in this config. I've gone through all the troubleshooting classics.

When in 3/4 everything is fine and XMP works and is stable, but of course not in a proper dual channel config (I've been using this config the last few weeks until I can fix this.)

I've seen other people with similar problems end up RMA'ing their boards but with no follow-up as to if that worked.

Are there any known fixes for this or are we waiting for a new bios, or do I just need to RMA my board and my issue is unique? Thanks y'all!

I’ve used mcafee, not particularly satisfying.
