Hello everyone! I've been having some confusing troubles with one of my storage drives lately, and I was looking for some advice - namely, can I fix my problem (and how), should I continue to use this storage device (or will this happen again), or should I just bin the drive and get another...

My tablet autocorrected Uninstaller to Updater - as you can see in the updated post, I tried that already. The solution was to disable one of the GPUs - it installed fine after that.

I have tried all of these solutions, in and out of safe mode, to no effect: -Installing using the device manager (drivers found, but an unspecified error occurred) -installing after using Take Ownership and/or Display Driver Uninstaller -running everything as administrator -disabling GeForce...

Pressing F8 during boot does not show Windows' advanced startup options - it goes straight from the bios screen to the windows loading screen and to the desktop in about 5 or so seconds, no matter if I tap F8/Space very fast or hold them down. Both keys on the keyboard work fine, and they can...

The brand is OCZ, and like I said in the main post, it's a 600 watt power supply. The friend that gave it to me only had a 530 watt, and it worked fine for him for over a year, without any issues like what I'm having. I can tell you the model when I get home later on. Also, how/why would the...

I recently got some new components from a friend (An ASRock motherboard with an FX-4170 and a Sapphire HD 6870), and set it all up in a nice case with a 600 watt PSU. However, I've been having random complete losses of power, after which the power supply has to be reset. My friend never had that...

It's probably just me being too timid with it, but I couldn't seem to get it off. I'll try again later, though. Thanks.

To start with, I'm not entirely sure this is the right section for this question, so my apologies if it's not. About 6 months ago, I got an AMD FX-4170 for a new computer I was building. It works just fine, but recently when I looked inside to check on the dirt levels, it was absolutely filthy...

That's actually what I was thinking, but nowhere I read mentioned the possibility of dead sub-pixels. Thanks for the help, I don't think it's that much worth bothering over.

You're right, it (and all of the monitors I notice it on) do have anti-glare finishes. Thanks for that bit of info, I've been trying the rapid-refresh method, and I'm hesitant to use any physical methods out of fear of damaging my new monitor. If anyone else can confirm that mine is most likely...

I recently purchased a new LCD monitor (a cheap TN panel one from ASUS), and it looks pretty nice. However, I recently noticed what is either a dead pixel or a stuck pixel, and I can't tell which. It looks bright red against a white background, black against a green background, and is completely...
