    [SOLVED] Maximum RAM for IdeaPad 3 15ARE05 (81W40019US)?

    According to the benchmark I ran it's a Samsung MZALQ512HALU-000L2. When I was benchmarking it, the fan didn't get loud at all. You can audibly hear it, but it's on the same level as when I type. The passmark scores are below (the RAM is with the 16GB Crucial stick added). All in all, for the...

    [SOLVED] Maximum RAM for IdeaPad 3 15ARE05 (81W40019US)?

    Hello everyone. I just got a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ARE05 (81W40019US) and I'm struggling with its max RAM capacity. The best I've been able to find is Office Max's listing that indicates it has 8GB and "Memory is expandable by up to 12GB." I know it's 1 soldered and 1 slot. Does this mean I can...

    Replacing A Blown Speaker

    I asked a similar question to this earlier but now I need some help identifying a proper replacement as I'm completely clueless and don't want to buy something incompatible. I'm running an old 1996 Sony STR-D665 receiver and the non-tweeter portion of my SS-AV22 speakers are going bad and have a...

    Replacing/Repairing Dying Speakers

    That's a good starting point, thank you. I have a barrage of follow up questions so bear with me: 1) I notice on the second image it mentions a 100W maximum and the link provided is a 150W peak system. Would I need to find one specifically rated at 100W or less or am I looking only at the...

    Replacing/Repairing Dying Speakers

    I'm sorry if this is not the proper forum but I have 2 full range speakers on an old (1996) Sony receiver using SS-AV22 speakers. Both speakers have developed a pronounced "rattling" whenever bass is coming from them and I'm not too savvy when it comes to audio. I also can't seem to find any...

    ASUS A88x-PRO Error Code "C0" (possible RAM issue)

    Why would the flash 2 utility install and claim it did everything properly then? Anyways, I went and bought a USB flash drive and used the bios flashback button option (Page 2-23) to flash to the older version and it worked.

    ASUS A88x-PRO Error Code "C0" (possible RAM issue)

    Long story short I built a PC about a month ago and everything has been working smoothly and wonderful. I just used the ASUS Flash 2 utility in the bios to install the latest update 2603 (from I believe 2502). I placed the .CAP file in my boot partition and use the ASUS Flash 2 utility in BIOS...
