My house need renovation, so i will be moving to a rented apartment for the time being

How should i take my PC once assembled?

I plan to take PSU,HDD and GPU seperately in hand

And put the MB in its anti static bag with cpu still installed,put it in its box and carry by hand

Cabinet will be taken by packers and movers

Is this ok? Or will something go wrong? Should i directly assemble the parts once i move in to new flat,instead of assembing at home,dismantling and again assembling at new flat?

Anyone faced this issue with Firefox?

 

My CPU heats up like crazy when i upload a file through firefox..It heats up very quickly and shuts down..

I dont have issue with other browsers..I dled Opera and uploaded the file , it worked fine..Even with chrome..

 

I'm able to multiple softwares at once like Photoshop and some 3d softwares..No issues..The moment i upload a file using Firefox , the PC heats up and shuts down..

Not an issue , but thought its kinda weird , so posted it here..

^ I have faced random slow downs on FireFox while browsing with my laptop. Thanks for flagging.

 

Might be something to do with FireFox's CPU utilisation pattern and Adobe Flash Player.

^ I do not know any G81 motherboard from GIGABYTE, must be H81.

 

Not recommended you step down from the B85M-D3H though, this board is superior overall and will perform more stably for a longer time. The H81, not so much.

Most games don't see the extra 512mb ram on gtx970. They detect only 3.5gb,example is shadow of mordor. Which do utilise more than 3.5gb suffer no stuttering, example bf4.

Benchmarks are on youtube.

Shadow of mordor uses 3.5gb

And bf4 uses 3.6gb at 2k

Vibration in your PC.

 

Did you detect any smoke or smell along with that?

 

Please open your chassis and try to power it on with the side-panel off. See what all does work and what does not.

 

Plus, if you have already done that, I would break down the PC to see if any physical damage has occurred or no.

 

What power supply you using?

Cooler master 600 w. I kept the side panel open . only moving part is the cpu fan. But that is working fine. Pc powers on. The CPU heatsink also gets hot , normal temp. No power in usb ports. And no display.

 

And yes there was vibration for a good 5sec.

Salvage the hard-drive, the LG DVD drive and speakers rest of the stuff can go for ~5000/- -->8000/- bucks (all inclusive).

Cooler master 600 w.

 

What type / model and how old?

 

Also, the non working USB ports and display might be because the fuse got blown.

Time to field strip the PC and see for burn marks / physical damage.
