It would be enough yes, but as I said in the original post, disk management does not let me shrink the partition. Yes, I have tried disk clean up and disk optimisation. Yes, I have emptied the trash.

I cannot get my main partition to shrink. The capacity of the only drive on my laptop is 240GB, of which 116GB is free space. When I open disk management and try to shrink my C drive it says, "size of available shrink space in MB 42882". Attempting to shrink the drive by this (or any amount...

You were correct, I've limited my GPU power to 75% using MSI afterburner and the issue has gone away. This solution will have to do until I get a new power supply. Thanks for your help.

Hi My desktop randomly froze when I was doing work. I could close down chrome but everything else including the task bar was frozen. I did a hard shutdown (power button for 5 seconds) and the computer would not boot past the windows logo. I have tried in this order: 1. Repairing startup...

I have a 28" 4k monitor, so i'm guessing the difference between gaming at 1440p and 4k will be minimal at this size? The only reason I asked the original question is because I've tried playing some 4K films and my PC struggles a fair bit using VLC Media player (CPU usage was at 100%). I don't...

The CPU is not overclocked and I have a GA-B75M-D3H motherboard if it makes any difference. Thanks for any help.

Basically I'm looking to pick up a 13" laptop very soon for travelling to and from university. I first looked at core i3 laptops but noticed the cheaper Celeron laptops popping up. What I wanted to know is will the Celeron perform well enough for every day tasks? 720p video, word processing...

Hi so i have this old Dell desktop PC, I believe its a Dell Dimension E520 It has 1GB of RAM, a dual core Pentium D, and a 120GB HDD. It's pretty slow as you can imagine but I was thinking if I upped the ram to maybe 3GB and added a 120GB SSD then I would see some performance increase? My...

All the parts in my pc are compatible with making a Hackintosh, I currently have windows 8.1. The majority of my games are in steam or origin which i know are both available on OSX. I'm thinking of switching from Windows to OSX, to avoid having to buy another SSD and dual boot them both. My...
