Got a new GPU and you're getting crashes and black screens? 👀
It's not your card, it's how you installed the drivers.
Most people skip this one step, and pay for it later. 🎮
Here's how to fix it with DDU 👇

PC shuts itself off after a few minutes
So this started one day when I shut the computer down. I went to start and shut it down that way. When I turned it on again it turned itself off after a few minutes. Then it wouldn’t turn on until a few more minutes, then it again shut itself off… I thought I heard a clicking sound when it goes off, so I think it’s the power supply. So I order a new one, wait a week, a slow painful week. And then I install the power supply. Same issue. I bring my tech guy over and he plays with the settings in Bios and updates my Bios. It never shuts off in bios so we think it’s fixed… He has to go because he’s a streamer and he has a tournament. So I rush him home and think problem solved. I go to be with my computer, get her out of BIOS and after a few minutes she shuts off and doesn’t turn back on. Same problem as before. So now I’m at a loss. I have no idea what’s causing my problem. Please. If anyone has any ideas I’d love to hear it. I just want my PC back.
How do I use my bt/wifi card with this gpu?
My mainboard is an msi b450 [https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450M-MORTAR-MAX/Specification] Mortar Max. Until recently, I used a pretty small gpu, which left enough space for my network adapter to fit in the pcie 3x4. I upgraded my gpu this winter, but there was only space in the second pcie 2.0x16, which (probably) doesn’t provide enough lanes. That’s why wifi stopped working, and bluetooth started to become buggy. Now I was playing around with the thought of picking up a 2in1 usb dongle, but I heard they aren’t that good. What’s would be the best thing to do in this case? Edit: The network adapter is a Gigabyte GC-WB1733DI [https://www.gigabyte.com/PC-Accessory/GC-WB1733D-I-rev-1x]

Cheap parts for screwing around with
Exactly what the title says. I know the prices of computer parts have been skyrocketing because of all the “generative” “AI” bullshit that’s been forced on the world, and I’m lucky my computer is just good enough to still be doing what I need it to several years later. It’s a laptop, though, so hardly if any ability to swap parts. I want to get into PC building, more out of necessity then desire, but I’m nervous about ruining good parts. I’m totally fine with building a mediocre machine with cheap, old stuff just to get a feel for how everything goes together. If I can make it run Linux and maybe emulate a 16-bit game, I’ll be happy. Additionally, I have a HUGE rack mounted server PC from the mid 2000s that, if nothing else, can be gutted for it’s spacious casing. Is building a cheap test machine like this worth while? If so, I’d appreciate any advice on what parts to scoop up and maybe where I could find them.
Mastadonners who do #pcbuilding , I'm installing an intel LGA1700 into a new board and it's incredibly stiff and needs an awful lot of force, is this normal?
Looking for CPU upgrade advice
Hello, I have been upgrading this PC [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/77By6Q] for years now, and the CPU is way behind. However I’m not sure what to put in. I planned on sticking with AMD, I’m running Linux Mint, and I want to spend $200-300. My monitor is capable of 165 FPS but nothing I play tends to reach that (Counter-Strike 2, Doom: The Dark Ages, Control, other big-budget games). So I’d like something that could help get this thing up to speed. I’m also interested to hear what other components ought to be prioritized for upgrading in the future. Thanks
PC Gamers Abandoning Windows 11 for Linux with Higher FPS & Fewer Interruptions

> The ongoing migration of gamers from Windows 11 to Linux reflects a broader dissatisfaction with Microsoft’s current operating system. Performance concerns, intrusive update policies, and the increasing appeal of Linux are driving this shift.
