    Cannot combine 2 partitions n 3TB HDD created by Windows 10 boot

    I was formatting my drive with Windows 10 installer. I deleted the existing partitions fine, and I was left with one giant 2700gb partition. When I went to format this, it said it failed to create a partition and then left me with two Unallocated Spaces, one 2TB and the other with the...

    Convert Optical OUT to USB IN for Turtle Beach i60

    I got a good deal on a pair of Turtle Beach i60 headphones. I'm trying hard to like them, but one big issue is it only has USB and Bluetooth input options. I'd really like to enable it to accept an optical input or even have optical pass-thru if that's possible with an auxiliary device. I have...

    Yellow hues "wash out" when too much yellow is on the screen

    I don't believe this is a problem with my display or HDMI cable as this problem only occurs on one particular slightly-outdated PC that I use. Any idea how to fix this or is this a sign that the GPU is almost dead? Sample 1 with normal color http://i.imgur.com/k5Y3E3t.jpg Sample 2 with washed...

    Removing Windows 7 from old PC and installing on new one

    I have a Windows 7 ultimate disc that I bought through the bookstore while in college. It says LICENSED FOR USE ONLY BY STUDENTS AND FACULTY. Not for retail or OEM Distribution. Not for resale. I can provide photos if necessary. I looked at Microsoft but I can't seem to find my answer on...

    I found the specific model it's a GV-NX76G512P-RH but I can't find anything about what PSU it requires. :(

    Motherboard light on, passed paper clip test, but won't power on

    I'm not exactly sure, it says D33006 GIGABYTE on the side but can't boot to get other information.

    Motherboard light on, passed paper clip test, but won't power on

    The 400w PSU powered it on. Does that mean the old one is toast and no chance of getting it to work? Also, if the 450w isn't enough for the GPU (512MB) and RAM (4GB) does it run the risk of messing up my hardware at all? If not I'll just run the 400w because this is a temporary use pc anyway...

    Motherboard light on, passed paper clip test, but won't power on

    I only have a 400w PSU, would it work? Can't find the power requirements in the manual either.

    Motherboard light on, passed paper clip test, but won't power on

    I tried using a screw driver to connect the two pins that the power button runs do, but nothing happened. The system was fine when I turned it off about a year ago. I took the hard drive out to use as a back up in my new build but when I tried booting my old build (the pc in question) it failed...

    It's strange that the program you told me download worked just fine, but the game still won't install. Anyone else?

    Booting from HDD rather than Windows Boot Manager results in DOS/Command Prompt

    I installed the easy boot program, but I do not see an option to boot from the hard disk, just Windows 8.1. Is this equivalent to the HDD or Windows Boot Manager?

    Insufficient disk space in C:\Program Files (x86) - Installation Error

    Yes, I have made sure that it is selected to C:\Program Files(x86) which is the correct location, and no there is no option for custom install, it gives me this error immediately after entering my CD Key to activate it.

    Booting from HDD rather than Windows Boot Manager results in DOS/Command Prompt

    I just formatted my computer and noticed a few differences when I got it running again. I had only had the computer running for about a week, so there wasn't really any major changes, I just had to format to reallocate some space that was in a separate partition. Anyway, once I formatted, I got...
