    Need help refitting Dell Optiplex 980 for gaming

    It's easy enough to replace the PSU, but be aware sometimes computer manufacturers like HP and Dell do proprietary bs that means you have to get creative. But before you go through that trouble, how much ram do you have? Whats the processor and socket? And that case looks really small which...

    The truckee board doesn't seem to have drivers for the analogue outputs on it in windows 10? I need the analogue output. Any suggestions?

    Will windows automatically use all graphics cards for processing

    So my current computer is an i7 930, dual psu (don't ask why, HP stupidity is the basic reason) totaling 1160watts, R9 380x, hd5570, 36gb ram. What I want to know is does windows 10 use lesser gpus for general processing, and if not is there any way for me to easily force it to? I want the R9 to...

    Attemping to Revive a aging/dead laptop

    Do you get the HP splash and can you get into the setup by hitting F10? If you're not getting any kind of splash screen and can't get into the bios you probably broke more than the HDD when you dropped it. If that all works, try a couple things 1. Run a hardware test you should be able to get...

    How to rapair Windows 10 without disk after upgrading from Windows 7.

    Download the Win 10 iso and mount it on a usb with Rufus. It's probably what your computer is looking for instead of Win 7. Set your boot order to make sure it loads first. I'm assuming you have access to a second computer here but it might let you repair your installation without losing your...

    My Win7 is corrupt and wont boot I am using a Live USB running ubuntu 14 trying to recover data but HDD wont show up under dev

    Since you can't boot into windows, can you put the windows 7 iso on a bootable USB drive? Rufus can help you with that. Or you can follow this guide. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/start-your-computer-from-a-windows-7-installation-disc-or-usb-flash-drive Once you've booted to...

    This weird thing going on with Ubuntu 14, wont play sounds

    OK there are a few things to check one is go to the top right corner of your screen and check out your sound settings. Click on the little speaker icon you'll see a slider bar and under that "Sound settings" click on that and check the output tab and the applications tab. Make sure that nothing...

    GREETINGS is this build compatible?

    It should work fine. The 750ti has been tested extensively with gta V. You can find plenty of videos on Youtube. It won't run on ultra but on mid high to high settings it'll work fine, the 6 core is unnecessary but not a detriment, 16gb of ram looks ok. If you can swing the extra money I would...

    Questions about game development

    Full disclosure everything I'm going to tell you here is learned from personal and sometimes frustrating experience. I don't consider myself an expert at all. I have yet to actually publish a game and have learned everything here the hard way. I've been working on this stuff for about a year and...

    Laptop for Kali Linux

    Generally most laptops will work. I've had it running on ASUS, Dell and HP PCs. iX series processors. Mostly 3rd and 4th gen. That being said Kali is pretty insecure to use as a daily OS because you're always running as root. It's also quite different from other distros. If you're just looking...

    Windows explorer not opening from other programs or apps

    I don't actually think it's a linux problem. I think it's a windows explorer or registry problem. I can set up a Kali on a USB just fine through the ubuntu command line. This is a problem of windows explorer not opening a browse window in Windows 10. Thanks for the offer though. On further...

    Windows explorer not opening from other programs or apps

    I'm trying to install Kali with persistence to a USB drive in Windows 10. I've tried Universal USB Installer, Yumi, and Rufus. Everything works fine until I click browse to go to the location of my .iso file. It worked fine up until today. The last time I did this was yesterday (the persistence...
