    Im not sure its the remote or the tv that has the broken switch, but im guessing its the remote. if you have a phone with IR, you could get an app that does Universal remote stuff, like Peel or .. Universal Remote. Or you could buy a learning remote from amazon, there are codes to program them...

    Gpu or Bios issue

    get a quality battery from a local store, i always get duracell (probably will be freshest) since i want to be able to rule out the battery causing problems. I bought lots of cheap batteries from ebay before and they typically are garbage and may be nearly dead when you get them.

    Gpu or Bios issue

    def not pci. If your card is in the topmost spot, i think that its PCIE1 typically. I think you have it on the right setting. Yes, batteries can go bad and cause weird stuff to happen. In fact BIOS settings going haywire is the #1 symptom. Another option is to reset the BIOS to default, and...

    Gpu or Bios issue

    Sometimes the onboard video is chosen as primary, instead of the graphics card. THis can happen when the Primary Graphics Adapter setting in the BIOS is set to AUTO. Instead of auto, choose External Graphic Card.

    Laptop freezes and need hard restart to work again.

    temps are decent. Next step for me would be to run memtest86 from a boot cd (their page has isos that you can just burn and go with) and check all your ram.

    Laptop freezes and need hard restart to work again.

    Check the settings and make sure that they are writing to a log file, so that you can see the point at which the machine restarts. Try playing until it crashes. If it doesnt, try to see how high the temps go.

    Laptop freezes and need hard restart to work again.

    Realtemp and OpenHardwareMonitor are two that I use for CPU and system, and GPU-z or MSI afterburner for GPU.

    Get monitoring software that writes to log, and check out your temps of the GPU and CPU.

    Will running two monitors (1 4k @60hz and 2 1080p @ 144hz) simultaneously on a GTX 1080 ti reduce performance in games?

    If you are not also gaming or using accelerated graphics on the 1080p screen, the answer is no, there will be no performance loss. I'm currently typing this reply while my 4k screen has a game playing, and the game is fine. :)

    Windows 10 errors, then many other issues followed. Help!

    Data usually gets corrupted and exhibits these problems when the RAM is bad (or timed incorrectly) or the drive is bad. To check the first, download and create an ISO for memtest86 (or maybe a later version, havent used it for a while). Run this for about 1-2 hours and make sure it completes at...

    "Playbar.biz" Help please !

    check the Uninstall programs list, and uninstall if possible. Get Malware Bytes Anti Malware and run it. Get CCleaner and run it. Usually that's all it takes for me to get rid of garbage like that. Its probably not doing anything other than making lots of hits on ad websites ($ for them) but I...

    Why I can't overclock my GTX 1070?

    There are speed limits for multiple things: Power use, Temperature, Voltage, among others. Basically, the card overclocks itself up to the point that the settings you chose allow. If the settings are too high, the card will still only go to the speed allowed by whichever speed limit it hits...

    MemTest in Motherboard BIOS/UEFI?

    Yes I had a Biostar 965 series that had this in it. Wouldn't say it was high end by any means.
