Yes, in bios it had options 2-10 as backups for booting. I disabled all those now it is booting from the cd. Now it is saying that it is unable to reset my pc. A required drive partition is missing. I am setting up a pc for my daughters birthday on April 8th. With a new copy of Windows 7 pro 64...

For whatever reason after this last Auto update of windows 10 my computer is unusable. It freezes up, the pop-up for when it asks for administrator permissions doesn't show up, the screen just dims and the pop-up never shows so I'm unable to make any changes. System restores fail. So I'm down to...

Ok, will probably go with a mild build with some of my components from previous computers, thanks.

I have built full gaming pc's in the past, and I'm really not looking to do that again as my daughter plays minecraft and sims 4. So it's really not going to take a lot. But I do want it to be able to run those very well and some photo editing stuff. I have been looking on amazon at some...

So I built a new computer. Used some of the upgrades I had put into my old computer like the power supply, RAM, and video card. On the new computer i went to windows 8 while the old computer had windows 7. New computer runs great with the new hard drive. But I want all the stuff off my old...

I have seen 4.7 posted several times for the Intel Core i5-4690K but I have not seen any higher.

So this is basically my first ground up pc build. Wasnt going to start that way but after a few times of telling yourself but for only another $200 I can replace this too and that would be great! I have my entire built done and as far as i know ready except for the case. Im going to overclock my...

Also will I need to reinstall windows? my computer came preloaded with windows so I dont have the disks. So I would probably have to go buy a new Operating system... Or is there a way i can burn my windows onto a dvdr and just reinstall it once i do the switch over?

Was mainly just thinking the I7 for future games and programs. The I5 4690k does look nice tho. Any idea of what will be needed for cooling for something like that? Just fans? When does someone start going to watercooled?

So i have been looking around for hours and hours trying to figure out what I need to do. I have a 3 year old system that is no longer keeping up with the next gen games. Its just an old gateway with an i5 quad core 3.0 ghz cpu. An I5 2320 to be exact. Im a few generations behind there. The MoBo...

All your graphs are great and all. But they don't in any way portray the system i am running with. Have an i5 2320 processor that is like 3 years old now. It is at the recommended settings for the game. But just barely. Where as they recommend a Geforce gtx 550 video card. The 760 is a far...

if the cpu is too old, any suggestions on what to upgrade to? Hopefully without changing out the motherboard?

If your trying to locate the actual game through steam mine is at C:>Program files (x86)>steam>steamapps>common> Then you see a list of game folders.
