Hi, I just did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro x64 on my Dell XPS 12 9Q33. Afterwords, it was missing a few drivers. I was able to get all but 2. Both are for my touch screen. I did the Windows 10 Upgrade before doing the clean install, and everything worked, so there must be a way to get the...

I understand that TeamViewer would accomplish this. However, in our lab, we install new OSes and wipe our boxes clean for testing new things all the time. I'd rather just turn my Mac into fancy KVM switch than install Teamviewer over and over again. Is it possible to swap out the motherboard...

It's definitely not a network issue. When I launch anything but the simplest programs, it takes several minutes to fully launch the program. For example, after double clicking the Spotify icon, it takes a good three minutes before I'm able to play a song. The Windows 7 resource monitor shows...

There is very little extra software on this system: Only Chrome & Spotify. And there's no malware. I ran Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper, Malwarebytes & Superantispyware on it. In the resources monitor: The RAM is barely being touched. I have never seen it hit over 64%. The CPU, on the...

Hi, I was cleaning out the fan and replacing the heatsink compound on Toshiba Satellite L675D-S7052, when I noticed the GPU, an ATI® Mobility Radeon™ HD 4250, had a semi-transparent grayish discoloration to it. The system had been overheating for several weeks. Is this discoloration from the...

Hey all, I have an All In One PC that had the motherboard crap out. I was wondering if there was a guide out there for converting the remaining functional touchscreen monitor into something that I could plug into my regular old desktop. Any thoughts? Joey
