    [SOLVED] Please help me remove my graphics card

    Right there: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC/Gallery#lg=1&slide=1 You'll probably need something like a flathead screwdriver to press down on it from the m.2 ssd side where the card will be thinner.

    Question No Video on Normal Windows Boot

    The fast boot may not fully unload your graphics drivers, hence why it works. The slowboot would fully reload your drivers, and it's possible some other driver is breaking the GPU driver after it's loaded. Hence why the keyboard combo (which restarts your graphics driver) works. What you could...

    Question New computer with old HD and SSD; won't boot properly.

    If you can get your old system to boot, you could link the windows 10 license to a microsoft account and then install it on like as many computers as you wanted. You can actually try reinstalling windows on the old system, since your license is still linked to that hardware, then you can link...

    Question If I lower my 4K monitor's res to 1080p, can I overclock it to around 100hz+?

    No. It's about the specific panel used to make the monitor, they "can" run at a higher refresh rate than they're sold at sometimes, but that's to ensure they can do what thery're sold at.

    Question Advice on Replacing Dell Inspiron 7567 Motherboard

    Yeah a charity organization "may" help, but i feel all they'd do is give you a working computer. Because it's a laptop, even replacing the motherboard is extremely expensive, as they go from like $400-500, because the CPU and GPU are both soldered to the motherboard. But... First check if...

    Question Recorded Video Lags

    The drive you're recording too can be a factor, if it's a regular HDD, and it's not dedicated for recordings, lag could happen. Could possibly happen with a shared SSD, simply because the throughput to the drive is being shared between it and the game. The settings of your records are 90% of the...

    Question Why is Glorious such an under-rated gaming peripherals companies?

    Probably cause they don't advertise. i got one of their keyboard wrist rests cause my keyboard didn't come with a wrist rest. It was the cheapest one on Amazon when i bought it, that didn't have trash reviews.

    [SOLVED] How can i make space to fit graphic cards?

    You can't put a bigger better card in there without something to secure it to. The weight of it will break the PCIE socket.

    Symbolic Links and What They Do

    I use Symlinks to sync my game saves between computers using one drive. But yeah it doesn't actually move the files. (the save games are actually in the one drive folder, and the game looks to the folder it thinks they're in and pulls them from the one drive folder, which is still technically on...
