That is good. BTW you can also calculate power wattage via online PSU calculator. This will help you decide more easily for which PSU you should go.

I will probably go for the Xigmatek Tauro 600w since its one of the few quality PSUs you can get in Pakistan

Hi,

A friend of mine gave me a dead evga gtx 570 and told me that he took it to a shop in hyderi and the shopkeeper told him that i will repair the card for 3000. Now i wanted to know if there are any good shops in karachi that actually fix video cards. Help from your side will be appreciated.

Thank you.

repaired video cards are extremly risky as they can break even after a single day. why spend 3k on that when a used one(never repaired) is easily availble for 7 k approx.

My pc shuts down randomly. and by shuts down, i eam like a normal process. it suddenly says windows is shutting down. So, can anyone suspect what is the problem?

Hey ASA.

So i used to own a zh77 asrock motherboard with a 2500k i5. I was a fool back then and noticed the Z but not the H77 at the end which made me think its close to a z77 chipset and has cpu overclocking but no ram OC. Turns out it had no CPU nor memory OC support and on top of that the motherboard's PCIe slot stopped working as well so i had to change the motherboard one way or the other. So i went to the market and couldn't find me any decent full atx motherboards with cpu overclocking or memory overclock. But i remembered reading that the Asus H61M-K has memory overclocking support up to 2200mhz so i asked the dealer and we checked it on the ASUS site and it does support ram overclocking. ._. So turns out my dealer was ready to buy the motherboard from me again on a really fair price (bought it from him for 9,200 sold it back to him for 7,900, was 8 months used) I sold that and my processor with it and bought an H61M-k with an i5 3570k. I jumped to 3rd gen so that i can at least use the 1600mhz valueram that i had to its fullest extent cause i was only able to access 1333mhz on my 2500k ._.

So i bought this the Asus H61M-K. Was some what happy with it. Finally decided to get overclockable memory and bought two 4gb 1866mhz Hyper X kingstons 3 days ago. I was so excited about it but when i get home. Turns out my motherboard is using it on 1600mhz. I went in the bios and had other options up to 3200mhz. But i kept it under 2200 since that is what the H61m-K is supposed to support max. I switched it to other speeds it didn't load. Matter of fact i switched it to 1866mhz which is the ram's stock buss speed but still my pc didn't boot. I also updated my bios version an still nothing. Even played with the Timespeed and stuff that my cousin who is a huge tech geek helped me with but still no results. So does anyone knows whats up. Here are the specs to my motherboard and you guy's can check it yourself ;-;

Hello,I have some weird software based issue. I am unable to browse internet, for which I tried removing cyberghost which usually solved the problem. However, this time its not working effectively. Pages don't load or they load halfway and thats it. Recently, my facebook account was hijacked, for which I changed my password. The browsing became more painful and I can barely work. Torrents are running fine. Kindly help me out

Could be the issue with dns settings, check connection properties and 'Use automatic DNS servers'

Checked that already.

I believe that last time I was working with it, I plugged in a usb from university PC. I believe that was infected and got into my system. Any suggestions for removing the bug?

Torrents running fine usually means a DNS issue. Change the DNS of your Network adapter to

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

If that doesn't fix it, UNINSTALL all network drivers by going into Device Manager. Afterwards reboot your system and if Windows doesn't install the network adapter drivers automatically install them manually.

For the virus, I would recommend running Combofix if you are on any windows other than Windows 8/8.1.
For Windows 8/8.1 run Malwarebytes.

EDIT: Oh and post the logs after the scan.
