sounds like you're going for a budget build. in that case supertech would have everything you need, you can go the their website and download the pricelist

PC been doing this all day...CPU usage @ 100% and it stays there...can't seem to find any processes causing it







Did a scan and removed all threats as well and still the same problem. Anyone ever encountered this problem before and solved it?

Hoping it's not a virus

[Chiney]

yep

did a reinstall.... corrupted file in the system folder causing the CPU's ALU to keep calculating, somewhat a virus.

[Ronaldo95163]

I've found what was causing it...dgen.exe

What is DGen.exe?

DGen.exe is a part of a Bitcoin mining program. Most anti-virus engines detect it as riskware, unwanted program, hacktool and sometimes even a Trojan horse mostly because it's being used by cyber crooks to mine bitcoins on infected computers (program analysis). Of course, it's not a problem if you installed this software yourself because you probably knew what you were doing and what exactly this program does. Unfortunately, very often users do not know that their computers are being used to mine bitcoins. Actually, the only thing you could possibly notice when your computer is infected is a high CPU usage, 100%, for instance. So, if you found a program called DGen.exe running on your computer then there's a good chance that your PC is infected with malware. This riskware comes bundled with various programs, some of them are legitimate and some are not. Most of the time, it comes bundled with adware and other unwanted programs. You can also get it by simply visiting an infected website. Please note that malicious bitcoin mining usually have additional modules that allow attackers to steal passwords and download additional malware on infected computers. It's not essential for Windows. DGen.exe runs automatically when Windows starts. Needless to say, I recommend you to remove DGen.exe from your computer and run a full system scan with recommended anti-malware software.

LAWL! by chance did you install a pirated version of watch dogs? There was a bunch of them with bitcoin mining programs,your pc just put some money in someone else's pocket

[Ronaldo95163]

Nah haven't played Watch Dogs yet actually

But I sorted out everything today

[trinisale]

Looking for a use or new hdmi monitor for gaming

[Ronaldo95163]

What size?
A good 24 inch would run you into about $1000TT or slighty more

[kamakazi]

So. ..watchdogs was apparently artificially downgraded on PC to make it look par with the "next gen consoles"
Sad day

yup for around that price you can get a 24" aoc or a 22" dell
both good monitors that last very long

A patch was released like 2-3 weeks ago allowing players to achieve the full graphics of the game

...which gave way to a brighter tomorrow.

You haven't heard of 'TheWorse' mod I take it?

[2NR Smurf]

Yeh TheWorse mod makes for great improvement....i still get some stuttering on my machine tho.

[kamakazi]

I am sad that a company had to do something like this to make the "next gen" consoles appear better.
