High, almost completely upgrading my PC. Pretty much everything except my SSD and HDD. What is the best way of reinstalling windows? Will it work if I just boot it up? How can I keep my Windows activation? I have no idea where to start the process so anyone that has been in this situation (I...

Upgrading entire system except SSD and HDD. Am wondering if there is a way for me to reinstall windows but keep a lot of my files. My SSD acts as my main system with most of my programs while I keep my HDD for storing a lot of videos and files for my work. I am upgrading from an Athlon x4 to a...

What sources exactly? I live in Canada so Best Buy and Canada Computers are the only "physical stores" near me. Is there any online stores?

I have been using a 2-year-old Acer laptop for most of my computing needs but AutoCAD runs okay and Revit and SketchUp are just completely buggy and barely usable. I am looking for a laptop that should be able to run those programs smoothly. Does not have to be lag-free but just enough to work...

Yes I have done all of that...

No the card is not faulty. I have been playing all sorts of games like Dota and the Witcher and everything seems fine!

I am a big fan of the AC series and since I just finished upgrading my new rig I decided to pick up the PC version. Installed the game and the drivers and when I load up the game for the first time, it crashes after about 10 seconds from the "press a button to continue" part. Any fixes? AMD...

I have installed everything (at least I should have because I clicked everything with a setup) but I still have no internet. It still gives me "Ethernet" doesn't have valid IP configuration.

It did come with a disk although I don't have a optical drive and many people say that the drives on the disk are outdated anyways. I tried to install the LAN drivers with setup.exe in the folder but I still don't have any internet and everything is still pretty much the same.

I recently put together a new PC. It works and I have installed Windows 8.1 on it. How do I install the drivers for my motherboard? Currently my internet on the new PC doesn't work and it keeps on giving me "Ethernet" doesn't have valid IP configuration. I tried to get the drivers from...

Should I even consider the 860k? Is it just slow enough that the extra 2 cores doesn't matter.
