I have a powerful desktop but it turns out to be a work specific set up and I was unable to find a powerful graphics card that will work it and offer good value for gaming. I bought a PS5 because it is specifically set up for gaming and because I was overdue for a new tv as well. So now gaming...

Question for Barry: If I have a 1440/144Hz monitor with HDMI 2.0 though will PS5 support it the way that XBox does? Monitor manufacturers are claiming HDMI 2.0 will support this but I'm sure I read somewhere that it would usually only be supported by the display port option. Trying to decide to...

I bought a powerful Dell business desktop last year with an integrated graphics card but have started gaming so need to either update the graphics card (Dell suggested an NVIDIA Quadro 2200 would be compatible with my build) to play some of the newer games but at the price I could purchase a...

Turns out that there was a chemical smell while the battery was charging but I put it away for a while and have it set up now with no problems. My neighbours were refinishing their floors at the same time and I believe that the fumes were coming into my home through attached walls also. It...

I ordered it from Amazon and it is the newer model and came neatly packaged and looked brand new when unpacked. Nothing showed any signs of having been used before. I took it out of the room and opened the window and the smell is disappearing.

It's an APC and it was expensive. I'll turn it off for now and call them tomorrow and see if they have any suggestions. They were very helpful in helping me set it up

So I ordered a 1500W unit and charged it up in my small office. For the next few days I felt unwell and had a headache and finally realised that there was a distinct kind of chemical odor in the air. I do usually have the door closed since I have a humidifier running most of the time in our very...

Thank you for responding Samir & happy holidays! I went ahead and ordered the APC with a small boxing day discount - if the run time is less than an hour I can live with that and not ready to install a generator yet. That should give me time to finish what I'm doing and shut down properly...

We have been having some short power outages without warning recently. Sometimes they only last 10-20 seconds and sometimes a little longer maybe an hour or so. I want to protect my desktop and peripherals and purchase a UPS that would keep everything running for an hour or so. My set up...

Thank you, good point. A service technician came to install Windows 10 on the SSD and tried to install a new SSD as well in case it was an issue with the drive. He was unable to do so and didn't know why it wouldn't load. He said that it possibly needed a new motherboard as well. At this point I...

Is this tied to hyperthreading or just in general?

So Lenovo has been great....they sent me a USB drive with the recovery media on it and are making sure that I get the help that I need to do the fresh install on the SSD. If it turns out that there is a problem with the SSD they will replace it. Amazing!

I got the LG from Amazon and I'm happy with it. Check the prime deals over the next couple of days.....maybe it will go on sale

So I was directed to the Lenovo website to download the Windows 10 recovery media but it told me that my model doesn't qualify for the download. The support center told me at the beginning of last week that they would load onto a usb drive and mail to me but when I followed up later in the week...

It was a few weeks ago and honestly I can't remember but I think the salesperson said I could use either one so I might have chosen the larger one not knowing how it would affect the performance. I think I should have been made aware of it. My old Dell had a 524 gb SSD and even though it's 4...
