I'm planning on returning it anyway since I wanted a monitor not a TV (things don't look as crisp on this) but I wanted to be sure so I could tell them about the problem. (Also verifying that it's not a GPU problem). Thanks! :)

I just bought a new gaming computer and monitor. They arrived today and I got it all set up. There is a square of blue pixels showing up in the lower left corner of the monitor. They don't flicker, the appear on both bright and dark screens (though harder to see on dark screens), and don't show...

My laptop started making a not so good noise yesterday. It sounded like one of the fans was trying to turn on, then off, then on, but with a weird whirring sound right before it would turn off again, and then after a while an awful squealing noise from time to time. I have determined it's the...

Thank you. :) Both JRT and adwcleaner caught things that none of the other scanners had, including things like SearchScope and conduit. Hopefully that's enough to fix it, but I'll keep downloading the programs and drivers, just in case I have to reset Windows after all.

Thank you. I must have been looking in the wrong place, all I was finding was drivers and manuals. lol

*sigh* Alright. I'll start finding everything I need to download in order to do this. I looked on the MSI website and didn't find the program downloads (things like Dragon Gaming Center and Cyberlink PowerDVD 10, everything that came on the computer). This might take a while since I have other...

I just tried to Reset my computer and it showed me a list of the programs that would have to reinstalled and many of them came on the computer already but without disks. Things that are needed to actually run the advanced hardware, like my nvidia graphics card. It removes everything. Is there...

It's an MSI GE72 Apache Pro. When I open System Restore is says "System Protection is turned off". I never turn it off (I remember that much from my comp tech classes) so I have to assume that a virus did it. But because of that when I turn it on it says "No restore points have been created on...

Now I'm really angry. System Restore has been turned off. I have no more previous restore points. I always keep that on so I can only assume that whatever is going on affected that too. So... am I screwed or is there anything else I can do? I really really really don't want to reinstall Windows...

Will restoring to a different point remove files I've created? If so, is it safe for me to back those up at this time or could they be infected to now? I have been working and have about 4 new posters I made today that I'd really not like to have to recreate.

I'm back with a problem I just can not solve. I don't know if this is related to a previous problem I had (am still having): http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2924228/compressed-zipped-folder-option-send.html but whatever it is, it's extremely frustrating. As you can see in that other...

I'm not sure if I didn't explain myself well enough in my original post. I do tend to do that. It used to be that when I'd select a few files and right click and go to Send To something like this would show up: http://media.askvg.com/articles/images3/Send_To_Menu.png But now all that pops up as...

I actually downloaded 7-Zip yesterday to get me through until I can fix this problem and it's working okay. I'd still really like to fix the computer though so it works properly and I can just zip things using the Send To option.

I've used Winrar in the past and didn't really like it but I'll try it again for unzipping. I'd really prefer to be able to fix the problem though instead of having to rely on a separate program. Even though this particular problem is more of a nuisance it makes me wonder what else is going...
