    Question Installed Win 10 on Boot Camp, now both OS X and Windows are gone

    McHenryB, Thanks for the feedback! I figured Hiren's wouldn't do anything for OS X, but nothing was reading the drive at all, so I gave it a shot. It wouldn't even see anything in the Windows partition, so I'm pretty certain something major happened when it went down. The only recovery...

    So after an incredible amount of troubleshooting, it turns out the easiest (and only, as far as I could find) way to fix this it Windows 10. Upgraded, everything BT wise works perfectly, let's hope W10 does the same.

    2 monitor and tv setup help

    If they are small ports, chances are they are Mini Displayport. You can get a mini displayport to hdmi adapter for about $10 on amazon and use that to connect the third monitor. This should fix your issue.

    2 monitor and tv setup help

    I'm at work, so I don't have time to look-up/read the manual for that card, but, generally, you can't use both DVIs and the HDMI outputs on Radeon graphics cards. One of the DVI outputs (don't remember which one) is linked to the HDMI in a way that only allows you to use 1 or the other. Does...

    DELL U2515H. Opinions and alternatives

    I picked up the Asus PB258Q a few days ago, really loving it. I've been a huge fan of Asus monitors, and it is a few bucks cheaper than the Dell. Not really any reviews out yet since it was just released, but I have been very happy with it so far

    Adding a second monitor - Currently have PB278Q

    Made my decision, went with the Asus PA248Q. Reasons were: Love the Asus build quality and feature set for their PA/PB series PPI in the neighborhood, so less issues with my eyes having to refocus when switching monitors, text should be more consistent size and smoothness (this was huge) 24"...

    ASUS PB278Q vs ASUS MX279H (for gaming)

    I have the PB278Q. I use it for gaming (and lots of other things) and love it. I don't play FPS's, so YMMV on motion blur, but I have never noticed any. I have 2 computers hooked to this monitor. My new computer is built for gaming at 1440p while the older computer isn't quite up to that...

    QHD IPS 27" Monitor Purchase Advice

    I went through this same situation a few months ago. I settled on the monitor that you are looking at and could not be happier. I actually came down in size from a 32" 1080p monitor/TV. I have nothing but excellent things to say about it. Gaming is really solid, I have never noticed any...

    i7 4790k runs without BIOS update on Asus Maximus VI Gene, is this bad?

    Hello all, I couldn't decide whether to put this in Motherboards or CPU, please move the thread if it is necessary. I recently upgraded my CPU from a 4570 to a 4790k. Well, in all my excitement, I forgot to update the BIOS before exchanging the chips. I didn't realize this until after I...

    Suggestions on what do to with my "old" computer

    Thank you all for your suggestions so far! I thought about Folding@Home, but quite honestly, I haven't looked into it at all and know only the basic premise of it. Donation came across my mind as well, but don't know where it would be best served. Giving to family would be preferential, but I...
