    Gaming Laptop rapidly cycles between Charging and Battery power

    Wow. It makes sense now the charger I'm using is about x4 weaker than what it's supposed to be. Idk why that didn't hit me before. I'll hold on to the spare battery just in case and attempt an Amazon charger. Almost a $100 is outrageous but it is what it is. If something changes I'll report...

    Gaming Laptop rapidly cycles between Charging and Battery power

    It's a G751JT-WH71(WX). I did not because I hadn't realize the charger that came with it wasn't potentially the original until I tried a replacement of the same wattage. Both chargers I tried were 65W. But now that I'm looking up a charger specifically for these models, I see that they are...

    Gaming Laptop rapidly cycles between Charging and Battery power

    I have my friend's Asus G751J which was a relatively unused hand-me down from this older lady who didn't need it. I'm not sure if it was refurbished because it used a Dell charger. Anyways, its main problem is that the display shows it's rapidly switching between Charging and Battery while...

    Question Best Way to Connect PC to TV and Sound Bar?

    One problem I realized though is the GTX 1660 only has one HDMI port, which means that has to be used up to send the video signal to the TV; and since I don't have any other options for video ports on the TV, I can't use that for audio too unless I set it up like in the doodle I linked. I...

    Question Best Way to Connect PC to TV and Sound Bar?

    I plan on getting rid of my Xbox and just using my PC for gaming and video. TV is a Vizio E43-F1 and the soundbar is Vizio S3820w-C0. In my computer, the motherboard is a MSI B75MA-P45, GPU will eventually be GTX 1660, and there is a AudioQuest Dragonfly DAC in the USB port for audio because the...

    Best Format for Video Podcast

    I'm trying to decide on the best settings and format to put our podcast in. I tried exporting it as FLV on the best video settings but it still doesn't come out that great. If I put it on AVI with video on best then it looks good but the file size is a whopping 4GB. And that's will take forever...

    Explorer Has Odd Behavior on Startup

    I don't know what I did to make this happen, but every time I login and try to open Computer Management or certain applications like Steam right away, it takes about a full minute to actually open. It used to be immediately with anything I try to open. And if I look in the system tray I can see...

    Choosing between Samson SR850, Grado SR-60i, or AKG K240

    I decided to get one of these three headphones but can't make a decision as they all have great reviews. I'm inexperienced in this area and trying to stay on a budget which is why these are my options. I don't know about the K240s because I read they're a bit too mellow for some people...

    Installing Programs with 2 drive setup?

    So I don't have to perform anything special to install something when the OS is by itself? I simply change the destination path when prompted and all should work well?

    Installing Programs with 2 drive setup?

    1 SSD with the OS and a HDD for everything else. How would I got about the destination path when I want to install software on the HDD? I'm not exactly sure how this will work if Windows is on it's own seperate drive.

    BSOD Error Even After a Clean Reinstall of Windows 7

    I don't think there's anything else that needs to be done. Sounds like you found the culprit. When looking for new RAM, you have to make sure you get the right type of RAM (DDR, DDR2, DDR3), and one with the supported speed. You should be able to find out what kind is supported in your...
