    PC Turns Off Immediately After Pressing Power Button--Must be Held Down to Power On

    I had a similar issue in the past and it turned out to be the power supply. Computer would start or not when I pressed the power button, was quite random and hard to diagnose. First step would be to bypass the power button as previously said.

    Warning about DOCP

    Small update: I have enable DOCP but limited the RAM to 6000 MHz in the "advanced settings" in bios. Computer is stable and feels (subjectively) faster. NB: I used to an avid reader of these forums and I find it really nice to come back and find the same helpful and knowledgeable community I...

    Warning about DOCP

    Thank you for explaining it. So it is a case of: more is not always better. I appreciate the tips, for now I will enjoy my stable pc. How much performance is left on the table without DOCP?

    MSI Issues Clarification on Next-Gen AMD CPU Support on 300-series Motherboards

    Glad to see MSI clarified the issue somewhat. On a side note : I find great value in TPU gpu reviews / gpu database and I enjoy reading the forum. The news section has been on the decline for a while now.

    Laptop sometimes turns off soon after windows loads

    This will be a discussion more than anything else because truth be told I don't have the time to look into it + I rarely shutdown/restart the laptop, but I am just curious if anyone else has experienced something similar with their hardware. Story time: It has been happening for about 2 months...

    What's the most interesting mid-range card for you?

    RX 590 is still attractive due to the game bundles it comes with for the price....gave it some serious thought earlier this month but I ended up scoring a cheap gtx 780 so I stopped looking at new cards for now.
