Good day, I'll be doing my next build hopefully this summer and I'm going for an NVMe m.2 drive as my boot drive. That's fine, but I'd like to try and ditch HDDs altogether and use the two SATA SSDs I have already. I've got one Samsung 840 Evo thats 250 GB I've also got a Crucial BX300 which...

Good day, I've recently installed Windows 8.1 on my laptop as it was running slow. It previously had 7 on it and the OS had never been touched. I made a copy of the drivers and installed them as soon as 8 was installed. Everything seems to be working fine except for the wireless. It is telling...

Good day, I've got a full system laying around in spare parts, and when attempted to build it stupidly dropped the CPU and bending the pins. I'm looking for an AM3 CPU that's cheap but also still pretty good for late 2014. I'm not an expert in AMD stuff so I don't know what to be looking at...

Good day, So my cable management is a bit crap, and after procrastinating I decided to finally make use of the holes to put cables through in my case, and tidy things up a bit. I unplugged my two GPUs, Motherboard power and a few other small bits and pieces, re-routed them and plugged...

-bump- Sorry, but I really need an answer quick if anyone's still listening here. If I get one more bluescreen I think someone may find a sad trail of components floating down the river.

I have searched yes, but I didn't give it much thought because I admittedly didn't see how it would help, considering it's worked since I got the laptop with no problems at all. Then suddenly a bit of code and it doesn't work. I'll have another wee look at a more reasonable hour

Good day. A few days ago my Atheros wireless card ceased to work. The icon in system tray shows a greyed-out wireless symbol, with a X to the side. I've never seen this before, and no matter what I try I cannot get the internet to come back on. I'm typing this on my desktop which is connected...

Sorry for a late reply, I've been on holiday, plus a little time where I wasn't on the computer. Here are my parts: Power Supply: Corsair CX700 Modular Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87X-D3H Socket 1150 CPU: Intel Core i5-4670k - 3.4GHz GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 480 - this isn't new either, I forgot to...

Good day. I've recently upgraded most of my system's hardware. The only things that remain of my old system are RAM and optical drives. It can be when I'm watching videos, or playing games, or simply scrolling through Twitter, but I get constant bluescreens that sometimes amount to three a...
