I recently installed Windows 10 on my Lenovo Z710 on a new SSD I installed in the former optical drive bay.Ever since installing, I've been having a bizarre problem when I try to boot. It'll begin to boot, the blue Windows 10 logo shows up, and then my laptop shuts off. I press the power button...

I smashed my laptop screen so I'm looking to buy a replacement online. This is the sticker from the underside of my laptop: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B31fZdFCt0ZvaVpYQzlGaFg1ejQ/view?usp=sharing I found this part...

Ah thats less then what I was hoping for. Anybody else have an estimation?

Looking to sell the gaming PC I build myself last Christmas for money to get a laptop. What sort of price should I be expecting? Here are the specs: Corsair 200R Case 12GB Kingston DDR3 RAM AMD FX-6300 (Can be run at 4.0GHz or 3.5GHz) Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo 1TB HDD 120GB Samsung 840 Evo...

Thanks you two, I'll look into the link! I suppose I've always grouped SSDs, USBs, and RAM as "Flash" and me hearing that RAM wipes when you remove power lead me to think that all Flash devices do the same... I starting thinking Flash drives had small batteries keeping the circuits powered :D

I understand that flash memory works 100% electronically, and if power is lost data is lost as well. I know this is true with RAM. HOWEVER SSDs and USB flash drives don't erase when you disconnect them or unpower them. Why does this happen? Just kind of curious :P Thanks!

Need an operating system?

If you have a serial number you can download the windows ISO from Microsoft, install, and then enter your serial number when prompted.

I had an IDENTICAL error with an IDENTICAL card, Im 99.9% sure my steps should solve your issue. Make sure you download the drivers from the ASUS website. Make sure to pick the correct solution when you resolve.your problem!

I had this EXACT issue with my Asus PCIE WiFi card, here's how I fixed it. 1. Remove the card from your PC. 2. Using a CD/USB, reformat and reinstall windows 3. Download the driver for the WiFi card on another computer, USB it over and install on your problematic PC 4. Turn off, install card...

Better architecture and just overall its much faster than the 6300. The 6300 isn't a great card unless you seriously over clock it and that gets dangerous / reduces the card lifespan. Use a 8350 and switch to a hyper 212 evo, water cooling isn't a necessity for this build unless you wanted it...

You'll need a new GPU and possibly PSU. After that you're most likely good to go for WoW. A GTX 660 and a name Brant 550W+ PSU will do for 60FPS. (Look up toms tiered list of PSUs and pick from the top 2 tiers, I can't get links on my phone :( ) Good luck!

Sounds like a DRAM issue possibly, try tunning memtest.
