    [SOLVED] Please help me choose between these two systems

    Thanks for the info. I was debating whether switch over but now I wont. I am planning to build up my own PC but it will be over about 6 months. For the mean time I am planning to get either a GT1030 or a GTX 1060 when it becomes available and use it in one of the systems I have. I could take the...

    [SOLVED] Please help me choose between these two systems

    I put the 2x 4gb sticks that I have from the old HP Pro and put them into the Dell so now the Dell has 12gb RAM. I might be better off putting my 1tb HDD with Windows 10 and the GT 710 into the Dell aswell, and just use that instead of the HP 280 g2, as it would mean I have an i5-2400 3.1 ghz...

    Question Trojan on Gretel A9 (Android 6.0.1)

    I've tried but it's no good. I have to either make do with this, fix it myself, or alternatively they will provide with me with a much worse phone which I definitely dont want to change to.

    Question Trojan on Gretel A9 (Android 6.0.1)

    Hello, I have been having trouble for months with a Gretel A9 smart phone provided by my employer. The thing seems to be infected by a Trojan which cannot be removed by Factory Restore, or any virus program I have been able to find. (Malwarebytes will detect and clear it, but it comes back...

    Please help me install GT1030 into my HP3300

    In the second video he is trying the Galaxy GTX 750 ti. This is also a PCI Express 3 card, so it will not work.

    Please help me install GT1030 into my HP3300

    So months later, I have learnt that the HP 3300 apparently has PCI-2 slot, when it needs a PCI-3 to work with the Gigabyte GT1030. Apparently the guy who made that video was also unaware of this. Surely such an expert should have known this? So I have searched for the best graphics card for a...

    Cannot enter BIOS on my HP 3300 SFF (potential (Dell) keyboard issue?)

    Update to this thread: I was able to get into the start up menu giving me a range of 1-10 options, including "Enable Bootlogging'. Unfortunately I could get no further as my keyboard wouldn't allow me to select anything. (none of the lights on the keyboard were on, and the caps lock indicator...

    Cannot enter BIOS on my HP 3300 SFF (potential (Dell) keyboard issue?)

    Thanks for the link, so it looks like I will need to use method #2 Method 2: Use Windows 10's Advanced Start Menu will give that a try.

    Cannot enter BIOS on my HP 3300 SFF (potential (Dell) keyboard issue?)

    Hello, me again with my crappy HP 3300 Small Form Factor prebuild. Well since failing to install a new graphics card due to HP locking the hardware, I have learnt that getting into the BIOs on a computer with Intel HD4000 graphics, such as this, should allow me to dedicate up to 1gb to my video...

    Please help me install GT1030 into my HP3300

    In fact, if you had not found that video so quickly last night, I would have tried everything to get this graphics card to work, so I would be sat here with no Intel HD drivers right now, and who knows what state my PC and the card would be in by the time I had given up, not to mention the whole...

    Please help me install GT1030 into my HP3300

    Firstly, thanks very much for your time and the info, Mgallo, as I am sure you can imagine how I feel about this! Yes, I was aware the Antec was a case only, but I was thinking about trying to build a computer from scratch. After what you've told me I definitely wont be buying that one. The...
