Problem is as follows: I had Windows 8.1 installed on a Dell Inspiron N5040, which has a Pentium P6200 CPU with an Intel HD Graphics Ironlake GPU. Dell's support website claims that this is an unsupported configuration, but in some manner or other, I had it running happily. Last night, I...

I hope I haven't miscalculated the EDT time right now. 16:03 over here (GMT+2) equals 9:03 AM there, right? Anywho, my pick would be Hitman: Codename 47 (I suppose it can be considered a classic, can't it?) It was the first stealth game I ever played, and enjoyed every last bit of it. Hiding...

So, I've been drooling upon the performance of SSDs, and shivering upon the sight of my empty wallet. In a moment of insanity, I decided to research the viability of SD card for a boot drive, as it would cost significantly less than a combo drive (a pure SSD isn't an option, this is a laptop...

Finally got that Samsung. Gotta love the image. The glow DOES show when playing Amnesia, though. I'll try playing with the angle and placement of the monitor, seems that it counters it to some degree.

The results I got: smoke, smell of fried silicon, and a dead GPU. Not exactly sure if I should have done that :fou:.

I am having a problem with my new rig and it's PSU. To give you a little background, it's an AMD FX-6300 on ASRock 970DE3/U3S3 and a Asus GeForce GTX660 with factory OC. The first PSU I had was some cheap Chieftec, and I managed to kill two of those before I realised I should have gotten a...

Now, before you go on saying things like "XP's dead, man, get 7 at least", keep in mind that this is not intended for a system I use on daily basis, OK? Lets cut to the chase: I have recently grabbed all the XP updates with WSUS Offline, and I want to slipstream them into an XP install ISO...
