Hi, So, I need a decent mixer that's affordable. I can justify the higher prices based on ROI that I get out of the device. Basically, I have 2 monitors that currently extend each other. When I want to use my ps4 or nintendo switch, I have those hooked to a hdmi splitter to get the video, but...

I decided to use virtualbox and used a Windows 8.1 cd key I had lying around!

Hello, I'm looking for a good sandbox to replace sandboxie and comodo sandbox. When I used to use sandboxie, it worked perfectly fine, now I can't even start the program up properly even with my anti-virus disabled and on a new pc build. Comodo sandbox also introduced its own problems. I...

Hmm, I disabled from startup in ccleaner, but it still started up for some reason until I disabled from start-up in msconfig.

Ok, thank you for all the help. I think I will go with Paladin's solution!

Hi, So I am planning on trying something technically complex and would like to know if anyone believes it might work. Basically, I plan on keeping Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 active, but when I want to test various software, I plan on exiting out of KIS 2017, loading up Comodo Internet...

Well, to start off, you're trying to play games using integrated graphics. At least, you aren't mentioning any dedicated GPU that came with the laptop. At best, integrated graphics will let you play simple flash games without overheating. It's not a tiny bit demanding for your cpu, it's...

Spikes are normal. It's a design flaw. As long as temps under load don't exceed 80+, you'll be fine.

This is based on my own experience. 1 gpu -> dvi -> 1 monitor = ok 1 gpu -> hdmi -> 1 monitor = ok 1 gpu -> 2 dvi -> 2 monitor = ok 1 gpu -> 2 hdmi -> 2 monitor = not ok 1 gpu -> 1 dvi/1 hdmi -> 2 monitor = not ok Basically, if you try to connect anything else in tandem with the hdmi, the hdmi...

Afaik, you can only SLI 2 cards if they are the same. Brand doesn't matter. E.G. EVGA GTX 1060 and MSI GTX 1060 but not EVGA GTX 660 and EVGA GTX 1060. You also need an SLI bridge + SLI compatible motherboard. If I'm wrong, can someone correct me.

Your card is basically DOA. Refund it immediately. I had a 970 with fans that I thought didn't work. RMA'd it to EVGA. They returned it in the same condition you are describing now. Unless you are an electrical engineer and understand how gpu circuitry works, you aren't fixing that card.

Try to see if the 1060 works in another computer besides your own. If it does, connection between your gpu/mobo got corrupted somehow and you need to either warranty it or get a new one.
