    Corrupted SD card from phone works in PC, but impossible to format

    My Galaxy S8 suddenly stopped recognizing the microSD card mid-video the other night. When I put the microSD into my laptop or desktop, they see it just fine, although there are "errors." I backed the card up and used the option to fix the errors. It said there were no errors. I right clicked...

    What's the big diff between an old vs new CPU with similar GHz?

    I just bricked my mobo :( so it's time to upgrade. I'm not a hardcore gamer, so I don't demand that I can run EA's GPU Melter 2018 in 4k with every option set to ultra in VR at 120fps. I'm just looking for "good enough." My current CPU is an Intel i5 750; 2.66GHz with 3.2GHz turbo. I'm looking...

    tried to update bios so old mobo would play with new GPU. Now it's a brick

    I tried smorizio's fix, but to no avail. Calvin's fix is cheap, but I'm not willing to put that much work into a 7-year old machine, so Haza, you are the winner. Newegg, here I come!

    tried to update bios so old mobo would play with new GPU. Now it's a brick

    Here's my (quite old) system: Intel DP55WG mobo Intel i5 750 Radeon HD 6770 8gigs DDR3 Windows 10 Here's what happened: I bought an RX560 because the old GPU just isn't cutting it. I'm not a hardcore gamer, I'm not looking for bleeding edge tech pumping out 120fps at 4K. I'd just like to play...

    Unstable overclock, not sure why. Any advice is appreciated.

    Well Poo. . . That's 2 votes for dialing down my vtt, and by association, the bclck. I really want to keep that 200MHz bclck because then with a 4X multiplier on the RAM it's running right where it should be. It makes the math so much easier. I guess I'll start over, running Prime95 for a few...

    Unstable overclock, not sure why. Any advice is appreciated.

    So I got a GIGANTIC Noctua air cooler for my aging i5 750 CPU and two GIGANTIC Arctic Accelero air coolers for my aging crossfired HD 6770 GPUs thinking that if I OC'd the hell out of them I could get another year before I have to upgrade my hardware. This screenshot should tell you pretty much...

    My GPU isn't explicitly listed as compatible with this cooler. Is it close enough?

    I'm looking to get a pair of Gelid VGA02-01 coolers to do some light OCing on my crossfired XFX HD 5750 and HD 6770 (basically a 5750 with a new name and coat of paint). The cooler doesn't explicitly list these cards as compatible, but it does list the HD5830, HD5850, HD5870, HD6850, and...
