"Oh well if it failed then I probably won't bother with windows 7, will just have to bite the bullet and buy a retail version of windows 10." Hi, Malcky. I first tried installing Windows 7 but it stuck on the first stage of the install process, this is bevause (as i am led to believe) Skylake...

Hey guys, long story short, the bios STILL doesn't recognise that the m.2 drive is connected, however, windows 10 is installed on it and it boots perfectly well, no other sata connections are disabled either, i currently have a 4tb hdd and a 256gb ssd attached to sata and 0 issues so far, so i'm...

Thanks for your replies guys, i think i'll take option A and leave it with my buddy.... At least i know it'll be in safe hands! We recently had a major fire which took out 3 buildings in my apartment complex!

Hey, guys and girls. I am currently in training, studying and living in the UAE (bloody hot weather for those who don't know!). Now, my academy are predicting about a 4/5 month delay from ground school to continuing the training in Portugal, which would take another 3 months or so. I am curious...

Nope, still nothing :/ Windows installation will recognise the drive but windows 7 hangs at unpacking 100%.... Windows 10 installs just fine but i don't have a key for that!

Hi, all, i just pulled my m.2 drive and shiny new motherboard out of their packets, turned it on and... Nothing! I have a couple of pictures here for you guys to see: The ssd is a Samsung SM951 256GB AHCI SSD, and the motherboard is: Asus PRO GAMING Z170I Mini ITX... Any ideas on what i...

Hey, guys, I've got a highly frustrating issue with my 870m. The title says it all, the driver version 353.30 is constantly crashing and recovering when i try to play newer games. The games which cause crashes the most include GTA V, Far Cry 4 and Prepar3d V2.5 (time to crash varies, P3D has...

I have the same laptop and am having the same issue. My solution is to go into device manager, disable the card and then re-enable it, seems to do the trick... Will uninstall and reinstall, see how it handles it!

I'll write you a little review here in a day or two, got mine about a week ago and absolutely adore it!

Hello, all... I am currently in the process of moving from the UK to Dubai, and as such, am having to sell my desktop(s) and replace them with a fairly decent laptop. Both are in perfect condition having been recently refurbished with a brand new Cooler Master HAF Stacker, all new fans and fresh...

Cheers, that's what i was thinking. I understand i won't get the same performance on it as i do from the 8350/7970 but surely in games where GPU matters more it should be fairly similar... I'm only gaming at 1920x1080 so that in itself could be 'limiting' the potential of my card as it is. So...

Hi, all. I have two systems currently, one with a baller FX8350 oc watercooled, 7970 vapor-x card you name it, it has it and that's great. I then have a secondary system that i primarily wanted to run as a co-computer for flight simulator, that plan never really took off (if you'll pardon the...

Should play it fairly nicely... I would, however recommend a radeon 7850 in place of that 650ti, as it is a far stronger card!

I'm not sure how you'll squeeze a GPU into $35! Maybe a basic one for being a display out (the FM2 Athlons do not have the graphics core of their FM2 APU bretherin and you will need a card, albeit a cheapo one...) Maybe a 6450 until you can afford better? In terms of performance, I just built my...
