Hello, I purchased 2 4GB G.Skill NT ram awhile ago, meaning to get an additional 2 sticks of the same as my finances permitted. Unfortunately, the ram is now "out of stock" with a note saying it may never be in stock again. My question is: Can I get 2 sticks of 8GB G.Skill NT ram and have it be...

Not knowing much about how to make my way around Task Scheduler, I booted it up and clicked on the Task Scheduler Library and nothing about Oculus is in there. I also looked in the Task Status and nothing is listed at all, which can't be right because I know tasks like my backup have run (I...

Just the headsets or also the sensors?

Thank you for the reply, @hang-the-9. The Oculus app does not appear to have a setting to prevent it from booting at startup, only a setting to prevent it from booting when you put on the headset. That's one of the first places I looked. My main question is what should be in the Win10 Start Menu...

I'm having trouble understanding how Windows 10's Start Menu works. In Win 7, "Start Menu" meant programs you wanted to start up when you booted up your pc, right? This Win 10 Start Menu system has me seriously confused, and the Microsoft (un)help pages aren't. It appears that in Win 10 "Start...

Thank you @richiestang_78 for the prompt reply. So, from what you wrote I'm guessing as long as it uses a pci cable any USB Expansion card should be compatible with my motherboard? I do recall having at least one open one. When you say "controller chips", does that mean some USB Expansion cards...

I upgraded my pc last year so it could handle Oculus Rift. Then they stopped selling them. Now I'm having one gifted to me, and I need to order additional USB 3.0 ports. I'm not sure how I go about knowing what is compatible with my pc? Any help appreciated. I don't have any problem installing...

Long time console gamer here, easing more and more into pc gaming. For the last year I've been playing Fortnite and Overwatch on the pc, and more recently Apex Legends, as well as beta testing Anthem and other games. I also run Halo Forge on my pc. The only game I have any problems with...

Hello, I'm trying to optimize my pc performance, and when I looked in Startup programs, I see MSI Live Update 6 running. I've been trying to figure out what it is and if I need it, but I can't find that info anywhere. Not sure if I should keep it or not, especially since I just swapped out my...

Are you kidding me?! I searched all over the 'net before doing this upgrade, and EVERYWHERE said I couldn't do that. Jeez, what a pia, but also, absolutely awesome! Saves me soooo much heartache. Will Windows Update handle the drivers or do I need to do it? I have the motherboard cd, do I run...

Thank you. I guess you can install Windows 10 and then use the Windows 7 key. Which I plan to do. EXCEPT, I've just started another thread in Windows 10 sub forum because my Windows 10 just booted up on the new motherboard!

I'm freaking out a little here, because I did all of this preparation prior to upgrading my pc, and that included making sure I had backups of all of my files and folders, because I'm using the same hard drive and I knew I was going to have to wipe it to reinstall Windows 10. But then I hooked...

Kk, thanks. We posted at the same time!

Looks like it might be ok as long as I'm using an optical drive + PS/2 mouse?: http://www.asrock.com/microsite/win7install/

Hey, I'm updating my pc and have to reinstall Windows. I had upgraded the Windows 7 I own to Windows 10 on my old build. My question is, as far as software/hardware goes, can I install the WIndows 7 on my new build? I read somewhere that I wouldn't be able to (because of either the mobo or the...
