On my current build, I have an MSI MAG B460M Mortar Wifi mobo. I was going to use 5 CM MF120 Halo fans (2 intake, 2 exhaust and 1 on a Hyper 212 Black) but the 4 x 8Gb of ADATA XPG SPECTRIX won't allow clearance for the CPU Halo fan. I ordered 2 (thinner) Thermalight TL-C120 15W-S aRGB fans to...

I've taken all the visible screws out, but nothing is moveable. there might be a hidden screw somewhere. I'll keep trying. I also sent a message to Cooler Master for assistance. We'll see if they are willing to help and I'll post an update on my progress. Thanks.

Hi All, I have a coworker who says he has a dual boot system with Win 7 and 8, both home editions. He says he only boots 8 because streaming and page loading is faster, even though he has AT&T. He uses 7 for everything else (he uses Movie Maker a lot). My question is: Does he need to dual boot...

Hello All, I'm running Win 7 Pro and am looking for a software program, free if possible, to load CDs onto my pc. Here's the catch: I have a lot of CDs that are non-stop dance mixes (some 15-30 tracks). I can play the mixes on most CD players/radios, DVD players and my computers. X-box and...

Hello All, Just received my Lenovo Z10 laptop. I'm removing bloatware, but am unsure of these two: Lenovo PowerDVD 10 and CyberLink PowerDirector 10. I may or may not play DVDs on this machine. Can I delete one of them? Do I need both or can I delete both? Also wondering about: Energy...

I found a forum which says to "switch user", which I thought would not work since I am the only user. But, it worked, and I am able to continue my never ending quest to type in song titles and artists. Consider this thread SOLVED! Thanks.

Thanks for the link, but I am able to do aal that. The problem is I have different playlists, like Old School R&B or Christmas music, with songs listed in a particular order. I use this for DJ parties, where I can press play and leave as I please. I have about 150 Xmas songs, many with the same...
