Hello,
Joined to get some advice regarding the above. I bought my PC ready built as I couldn't be doing with the hassle of building my own. What a mistake that was! Learning quickly that if you buy cheap you buy twice. So far I have changed the case and the power supply as the ones it came with were pants. Advertised as a gaming system but crashes every time you try to play anything saying that the driver has stopped working and has been restarted.
The board it has at the moment is a Gigabyte M68MT-S2 with an AMD FX-4170 and Radeon HD6670 graphics card.
Want a better board as this one only accepts 8gb of RAM and even then it only shows 4gb as usable. Running Win8 64. Tried changing all sorts in the BIOS but still doesn't show the full 8GB. I also think that it isn't the correct board for the processor as its showing as a 2.8ghz in CPU-Z but from what I've seen on here and the Net it should be 4.2??
I may be wrong but thought I would get some advice from you guys.
Thanks in advance
