what could be the reason that my PC I've built just restarts on its own after a few minutes past booting up? sometimes it's on for a little longer, sometimes it'll restart at the bootscreen. had it for a little over a year and it has never done this....
most likely your PSU dying, but it could be something else

If you're not already peeping both Build a PC Sales • r/buildapcsales and HardwareSwap • r/hardwareswap for deals...:usure:

Also, I'll let some of you who aren't located near a Micro Center and mourn the lack of access to deals in on a little secret...Staples will some times price match if you chat up one of their customer service reps in the chat box in the Staples website. They'll apply the price match discount after you the purchase the item. I recently did this with a i7-7700k...that I plan on reselling.

Also, if anyone plans on buying anything over $350 on NewEgg, sign up for RetailMeNot. They've got a $25 cash back promo.

Bought an EVGA 1070 FTW for $375 with this deal.

Lastly, I picked up this x2 8GB Team Elite ram for $130. All that is left for my build is to buy a Win7 OEM key for $21 from Kinguin and maybe upgrade to Win10 for free.

Surfacebook 2 with a 1060?....:lupe:

I've spent a lot of tech lately, but I have the SurfaceBook 1, and I'm very intrigued by the SurfaceBook 2. Let's see how much I can get for this SurfaceBook 2.

How much do you use the tablet on that?

I actually never use it in tablet mode. I keep it docked. The aspect ratio is off though. 16:9 is what I'd prefer. Still, I love my SurfaceBook 1 though. I'm about to go to the MS store and see what's up with the surfacebook 2
