    Question Can you mod Event Viewer itself?

    I have someone complaining about possible intrusions into their phone, PC, and tablet. One thing they insist on seeing is that when they were checking out Event Viewer they claim to have seen a "program" inside Event Viewer (that wasn't normally part of Event Viewer) on the left side of the...

    Display driver crashing in game menus

    Yes, I've had it now for 3-4 months and there's been a few drivers in that time. Some annoying complications for testing it in another system: - Replicating the crashes is a matter of playing and waiting, for hours at least but possibly days. - I have tried running this GPU in the other...

    Display driver crashing in game menus

    The PSU has run more power hungry GPUs than the 970, and more than meets the requirements (for Watts and the 12V rail has plenty of wiggle room on this rating), so I think it's fine. Also the way it only crashes on Lobbies, Menus and "waiting" screens but not under intense gameplay makes me...

    Display driver crashing in game menus

    Thanks for more suggestions :) I actually reinstalled Windows 10 a few months ago, so I'm doubtful about that. The card went in at the same time. The PSU is a 650W Corsair VS.

    SLACR / SLU9x Question

    Even an educated guess would be a great help. :( I've posted in a bunch of places and got nothing, and I'd really like to avoid guessing with a hundred quid.

    SLACR / SLU9x Question

    Hello, I'm trying to update an aging XPS 710. It's currently got an Intel Duo Core E6600 2.4GHz . I was looking on the Dell website/forum and found a list of compatible CPUs with the XPS motherboard/BIOS. 2 in particular, a Q6600 and a QX6700 seem like decent choices, but as listed on the Dell...
