I hate to sound like this but if your having trouble forwarding ports on a Linksys your going to have trouble on any router. As long as your not having connection issues you should stick with your router. Anyways the best router I've ever owned was a Linksys WRT54G, it's a bit old now but the...

SSD's are great and I don't think I could ever go back to an HDD but they won't increase FPS at all. What an SSD will do is destroy load times, so if you play a lot of games like Fall Out or the Oblivions where long load times are a headache then ya go for it. But you won't get an FPS boost. As...

Did you by any chance use a cloning software to copy data from the 2TB? Sometimes this copies the identification number and causes weird bugs. Even if you didn't, Try going into Disk Management and see if you can spot your drive their. If it does show up try and reformat it. Another solution...

Ya, sounds like your mobo is fried. As far as your CPU goes, with the heat sink I it, it probably was not affected. It is also a pretty good CPU and not really worth upgrading if it isn't broken. It seems like the most logical and cheapest choice would be buying the mobo you found. To be...

More information is needed. Brand, make and model number of Laptop. Brand, make and model number of Monitor. Also do you know for sure the VGA Connector works?

"What have I done wrong" This should be the name of every tech support website ever. One thing to note is that sometimes Windows OS's make small 100mb partitions on drives for boot loading purposes and also for transferring purposes. It could be possible that your 2 TB is not being recognized...

Alright, well this is going to be a bit more difficult. With this particular model you need to replace the entire top panel (including the touch pad). here is a video of someone taking it apart (3:00 - 5:00 is what is relevant) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOnXnXrOOTU Because you are...

The easiest solution and the most expensive would be buying a new video card, but no you do not "need" it. Personally I would research around a bit, find if there are some optimizations you can do, overclocking is always an option. It also looks like AS4: Black Flag is a bit of an optimized mess...

I'm a bit confused by the term "cpu light" I've never owned nor seen a computer with a "cpu light", I'm going to assume you mean the general power light. I came around this video some time ago and I think he sums up some possible solutions better than I could...

It's more than likely your gpu, I'd test this by overclocking my videocard by like 10%-20% for like a minute or two and seeing how much frames improve by, I will warn you without proper cooling you shouldn't really overclock at all, and if you do this monitor your temps closely.

hlnfd or "Highlightly Driver" It's malware, adware to be more concise. Good news is your anti-virus removed the driver (hence the message), but a small start up program is trying to access that driver to start up the adware. type "msconfig" into your start bar and go to the start up tab and try...

Your keyboard is going bad, buy a new one, usually run around 20 bucks, usually pretty simple and easy to install. (look up a youtube video if it is your first time). If you put down more information like your laptop model I could give you a more accurate price and difficulty to replace.

Your hard drive has the click of death, it is diying. The click will come and go until it completely dies. I also don't know why I asked you to run a disk check because your hard drive disk is probably fine, what's diying is your head unit.

Thanks for the responses, and I should also note that it runs absolutely fine in safe mode for 24 hours at least (haven't tested anything longer) I did reseat everything and I'll run the memtest after i get home from work tonight. While in safe mode i ran a system scan on MSE to see if it was...

TL DR your looking at a minimum price of $60 dollars and probably a good 5 to 10 hours of work. Bad news, yes your hard drive is failing Good news, You might have a month or 3 (possibly longer, possibly shorter) before it completely goes You can run a disk check to confirm this, (this takes...
