You said you have problems when you have the DI box and AMP together? Might want to make sure the jack is tight on the amp and the cable is in good condition. Might even try a second cable there. I don't think the PC's have any issues here, so I'd look at the amp and DI box. If they're not on a...

Since you probably don't have many options to upgrade the cooling, a good dusting with some canned air would be a good move.

It sounds more like something with your OS than anything else. Probably something with that hardware dongle driver. First, unplug the dongle. Start the system and press F8, so you can have a list of startup options. Use Safe Mode and see if you can get into Windows. If you can, uninstall the...

What budget do have? I believe anything based on Skylake requires DDR4. Skylake's predecessor, Haswell uses DDR3. You may need to factor in a new power supply. With Haswell, some new power requirements were added, mostly regarding sleep states.

If the spacers are touching something they shouldn't, you'd more than likely would short the motherboard. You do want to make sure that the cabling of the DI box USB and power cables as well as the cables to the bass amp and bass itself aren't crossing over each other and see if that helps...

Is it only in GTA 5? Got the latest drivers from nVidia?

What games do you play or anticipate playing?

How much are you looking to spend? Do you game on this system, and if so which games?

Typically, the BIOS is set with a default shutdown temperature. Once that's been reached, the system is sent a shutdown signal in order to preserve the life of the system. Usually, this is related to the CPU temp and that will mean the CPU cooler is the subject of investigation. You'll want to...

While you don't need a 1000W unit, I would aim for at least a 600W unit, and not simply anything labled that. Go with Seasonic if at all possible, if not XFX (particularly the XTR line), Enermax, or Antec (like the Hi Current line). Any of these options up to 1000W units should be available well...

Generally, a half-decent CPU is plenty for a video game because the vast majority aren't programmed to use more than 4 cores (at most) and that the clock speed isn't indicative of total system performance. Skylake is the newest CPU core out there, and if some game runs like crap on that, it's...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16828118702 This is a color laser printer. It offers duplex printing and poster printing among others as well as workgroup capabilties, if those are needed. $250

I would go with the i3 6100/H170 combo since that's the newest platform and would give you more options down the road. As for Windows, worst case scenario, you may need to call them up if the activation system gives you trouble. It's mostly for people trying to run multiple systems off a single...

The RM line has some issues. Corsair was aware of it, but I'm not sure if they actually fixed it yet. A Seasonic 600-650W would be a great choice. Unless you plan to run SLI or Crossfire in the future, 850W is overkill.

AOC is fine. Most companies buy panels and slap their name on the outside. I've had several AOC flatscreens that have done better than national brands.

It doesn't appear to be available yet. I don't see any better info than what you've shared. It seems to be the estimated one, and unless Acer has explicitly stated they will have it available on a set date, I wouldn't hold my breath. December seems to be an estimated date, and only they would...

Have you tried to obtain the manufacturers driver for them? While a driver supplied in Windows from Microsoft may allow some nominal functionality, it may not offer the full extent.

How much is your budget? Without a full upgrade, moving up to 8GB of RAM is a good place to start. As far as the games, the degree depends on the games and resolution you want to play. Your video card is older. Lastly, if you're looking for video editing, a 128GB hard drive, SSD or not, is...

What's the endgame here? Power efficiency? Smaller space? You can achieve those, but as already stated, the ZBox isn't the solution and is lacking in flexibility. You don't know the future, so making a radical change because you think it's the future is a bad idea. The Zbox isn't intended for...

With the new drive in, did you go into BIOS/UEFI and set the drive as the first boot device?
