Well, I decided to run a benchmark to see if it would actually work properly. You can probably guess what happened. https://gyazo.com/8a60a7ad1a63e0a6d4cf2d0d71345940

Bump Just now I've realised that the BIOS was 2 years (!!!) out of date, so I went ahead and updated that, thinking it would resolve my issue. Unfortunately, it did absolutely nothing. Is there any way I can resolve this? (I am working towards getting a desktop built, but it won't be for a...

Okay, so the issue is that usually the processor in my HP laptop (Envy m7-k111dx) is made so that when processing power isn't needed, it runs at a lower clock speed to save power. However, when I start up anything that requires more power than Chrome, it just hangs out at 798 MHz, which causes...

Unfortunately, re-installing the video card drivers didn't help very much, as I am still getting rather atrocious frame rates, similar to that of whats in the OP. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance (once again), -titanium_spoon

My default graphics processor is indeed set to the Nvidia card (https://gyazo.com/23848b5e57b1049c08c3a8ec7753c1f1), so I will try the other method. EDIT: So it appears that after files are copied, the installer tells me that it could not find any compatible hardware...

So, I have an issue with the processor in my HP Envy (m7-k111dx) laptop which I believe has to do with the power saving modes. I have been told that U series processors only go to their advertised clock speed only when it detects a heavy-weight application. However, if I run something like...

I am thinking about getting a PC in the $700 price range, would this be good? (I already have a 2.5" SSD I can re-use from my current laptop, and I don't have a monitor or keyboard to use this with, so that is why those are included/excluded) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HqNhRB Thanks in advance...

So, we have had this Verizon router (Actiontec M424WR) and the WiFi signal has been pretty bad. So we went out, and we were told that this Netgear Nighthawk (AC1900) would improve the speed and range. The only issue is, the Actiontec router seems to get internet access via an Ethernet cable...

The thing is, there is only the "3D Settings" tab and nothing else, as seen in the picture. Is there any was I could make that come up?

So, I have my HP Envy laptop hooked up to a Vizio TV and there is major overscan happening. I tried googling the solution, but in my Nvidia Control Panel, there isn't an option for undercasting. Here is what my control panel looks like: (link in case the image doesn't show up...

Recently, I got my iPad mini's screen replaced, only that the repair people didn't replace the button. Because of this, it gets stuck and presses itself, causing the iPad to bring up multitasking, close out of apps, etc. without any warning. I was wondering if there was any way to disable the...
