    Mouse feels slow / input lag

    Are you using a USB3 port, or USB2? Try USB 2 if the board has one and you are on 3. Also check for BIOS updates and reset the BIOS settings. I'm was thinking there might be an output delay between the GPU and the Monitor, as in the monitor is refreshing a second later than the movement...

    PSU - Only One 8 Pin Connector

    This isn't great, but it would be sufficient. I'd recommend going for a gold rated PSU if you have the budget for it...

    PC has trouble booting

    I'd guess your PSU, or the motherboard is so dusty the pins on the power button are shorting.

    Mouse feels slow / input lag

    Have you tried a different GPU or monitor? Could be a bad refresh rate.

    PSU - Only One 8 Pin Connector

    Yuk, I certainly wouldn't call that PSU an upgrade. You probably want a real PSU, it's not designed for a gaming GPU.

    Windows boot disc deleted external hard drive

    You can find an undelete program, but it generally only works on files that have not been written over. IE: if the Windows installer copied 2 GB of Data to the USB stick, 2 GB of files would have been written over. The quick format itself just clears the boot sectors, but the data is still...

    Trump Repeals FCC Privacy Rules, But ISPs' 'Fairness' Argument Weak

    The solution is simple. Change your behaviour. The only reason the internet was somewhat anonymous at one point, was through obscurity. No one really knew how it worked, and not many people used it. Now everyone uses it, everything is tracked and logged, either for security or for advertising...

    Bioware Shares Plans For 'Mass Effect: Andromeda' Patches

    This game is a reference the state of the gaming industry in 2017. This is going to start falling apart in the next 5 years, it's becoming obvious at this point. There's three major reasons why: 1. Consoles are terrible. All three (Switch, PS4, Xbone) are under powered and can't provide the...

    Microsoft Auto-Scheduling Windows 10 Updates

    I don't think that is true. They simply have access to data stored online, which has always been the case with any online storage product. Onedrive is no different.

    'Doom' Showcased With Impressive Framerates On GTX 1080 And Vulkan

    Yeah, but what data are they collecting, exactly? It's mostly just license agreements for technical issues and license agreements for their cloud services (which you don't have to use). You can just disable Cortina and web search, and that's about it. I don't have any issues with diagnostic...
