Hi, I've run into a problem which is really starting to annoy me with my computer. I built my rig over a year ago, put 8.1 on it. Occasionally had some problems with the computer waking up in the middle of the night but they went away (solved by just unplugging the Ethernet). Unfortunately...

What I did is after a bunch of reboots after not doing anything, the long screen with "press f2/ delete to enter bios" remains, but the american megatrends screen is gone. Now a flashing bar appears in the top left corner for about 3 seconds then boots me into win 8.1. So, I went into the BIOS...

Yesterday, I installed a GTX 760 onto my motherboard and then moved my hard drive cage underneath my 5 1/4 bays. Today, when I booted the computer up about 20 minutes ago, it just took me to the American Megatrends screen, which is the exact same screen that I saw when I first posted my computer...

is the noise generated from not using the fans significantly louder?

I am looking to install a second fan onto my hyper 212 evo, but I have no idea where the rubber pads that came with my cooler are. Are they absolutely necessary to have when installing the second fan, or will it work without them?

Ah, Thank you very much.

The case is a corsair 750D, the mobo is a ASUS Maximus hero VI, and the adapter is a rosewill Wireless LAN PCI card RNX-N300X

I ordered a new build thursday, and it arrived on Friday, as I was building it and tried to install my wifi adapter into the PCI slot, I found out that the card is too short and the backplate does not reach the end of the case. I tried screwing off the backplate, but one of the screws refuses to...

After learning about CPU and GPU bottlenecking, what is the limit for the 4770K before it starts getting a bottleneck (as in what GPU setup is the borderline) Thanks

Film is fine, but just remember that with film you are restricted in your ISO with whatever film speed you pick, whereas with modern cameras the ISO is adjustable. To make things easier, if you got a digital camera with adjustable ISO and editing the photographs in photoshop or some other...

The AE-1 is a 35mm film camera, same with the FE. I have been doing video for quite some time, and a wide number of my colleagues who also do movie making have switched to DSLR cameras, which give you the ability to of course, swap the lens. Always remember that what determines image quality is...

how would you say the ASRock Z87 mobo compares with the MSI Z87?

I second the Mazda3. The new skyactiv engine is fantastic, and both the manual and transmissions are top notch, you won't get that "rubbery" feel from the shifter like in most economy cars. Also a heads up, the civic recently got a CVT transmission to replace to 5AT. Another car to look at is...

Hi folks, I am building a PC for gaming and video editing and I would like your input. I have never built a PC before in my life, and I have been using mac OS X for the past 6 years. After doing some research, I decided to choose this configuration: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3eu3A This is a...
