Hi, so i just got my new gfx card and i cannot figure out how to get it to scale to my lcd tv. Its the MSI GTX1070, my first nvidea card and in the past I have always used AMD and Catalyst control centre to adjust it to fit my screen. It currently overlaps the edge of the screen quite a bit, to...

Right I've looked up what you both said. I'm in the UK and those parts from jester marocs suggestion is exactly where I was looking for price wise, though I didn't mind going higher but it looks great. Faux_grey - I just looked those cards up and I think that's the route I will go, not much...

Budget is flexible, and mostly recycling parts to begin with. First job is the new motherboard and cpu not go to go super high end but something to get back up to high graphics on my games and recent releases. Like i said I have been looking at the i5 or similar . I am aware I will need some...

So it's been a long time since I built my gaming pc and I feel it's overdue an upgrade. Currently it's an amd Fx6300 on a slowly creeping up OC and r9 270x 4gb gfx card. My plan is to go for a new mb/cpu first off and maybe crossfire the gfx card. So I'm thinking of going Intel this time as...

If you want to try out amd and have no other reason, I would actually suggest cheaping out and going to eBay for parts if your wanting low price and aren't scared of the potentially shorter life of the overall machine. I did it 2 years ago and still running the same setup without any hardware...

I have had and fixed this before, it can be done, you said you have a pc so I'll tell you what I did. This is assuming you have a a working mouse and some kind of removable storage Search for the drivers using your pc for the keyboard and scanner and save them to a USB drive ect and then try...

I'm going to take a wild guess and ask how old is the pc or if you know, how old is the hdd?

So maybe wrong place to put this, but I use ES file Explorer on Android, and link it with my pc, win 10 So this has always worked and been set up to auto login ( makes sense later) I had windows updates blocked by lack of space on C drive until yesterday, and let it update. What a...

So not sure how to or what I'm asking here but I'll try Can I pair a separate (60GB) ssd to run like a buffer on a 500GB hdd? Like the combination sshd drives? Or is that not possible

Really it's "when should I" as sooner or later it will happen, in saying that I did it straight away and only regretted it for a short while l. There is some noticeable changes over 7 and 8 and I like win 10 ( only after a lot of personalization though). It took me a while to get used to the...

If you have access to another pc/laptop you can get legitimate windows 8 as a download from Microsoft I just use the ask an agent and they have the link and you can put it in cd /USB and install from there for free as long as your have the key or it is saved

I have done this many times with Windows 7 although often I had to call Microsoft and have an excuse (generally blaimed motherboard, psu or some horrible accident as to why I swapped) sometimes they let you but the official answer is you can't. In honesty though they are quite good with...

Hi I need some help with an awkward installation (may be simple I don't know) Situation - full ssd failure and pc is currently unusable as needs an os Tools available SD card and USB reader Android phone with fibre WiFi Windows 8 download from Microsoft My question is - can I, using...
