Four PC horror stories for Halloween. Monitor in the motherboard, RAM in the wrong two slots, the film left on the cooler, and the PSU switch off at the back. All common, all easy to fix. Which one have you done?

AM5 is AMD (Ryzen 7000 to 9000). LGA1851 is Intel (Core Ultra 200S). Both DDR5 only, no adaptor. And watch the chipsets: B850 is AM5, B860 is LGA1851.

Air cooler or AIO? An AIO adds a pump and needs radiator space. Myth: it cools with water. Half true: water only carries the heat, fins and fans do the cooling. Check your case first.

SATA tops out around 550 MB/s. PCIe 4.0 NVMe reaches about 7,000 MB/s. Big copies feel it, game loads much less. And M.2 is a shape, not a speed: check the listing says NVMe.

A typical mid-range gaming build draws about 375 W. Add about 50% headroom and a quality 650 W unit covers it. And a 1,000 W PSU does not pull 1,000 W: it only supplies what your parts draw.

Same 288 pins, different notch, so DDR5 will not go in a DDR4 slot. AM4 takes DDR4, AM5 and LGA1851 are DDR5 only, and LGA1700 boards come in both versions, so check the board first. And CL30 DDR5-6000 is not slower than CL16 DDR4-3200: both work out at 10 ns.
