I think it's just YouTube, video never looks as good on YouTube vs raw footage. However you might get better results by recording the original footage at one of YouTube's recommended video resolutions, which are: 2160p: 3840x2160 1440p: 2560x1440 1080p: 1920x1080 720p: 1280x720 480p: 854x480...

Thanks in advance to anybody who reads / answers, this is probably a long explanation. I've been wanting to restore my parents super old Packard Bell desktop that I found under a pile in their garage (from around 1998), the system has not been used in decades however and apparently it was left...

That’s interesting, wasn’t even aware there was such a thing as the high-density / low-density issue with this chipset. I’ll look into that more, thanks.

A budget PC build using admittedly aging hardware seems to only be detecting 50% of the RAM sticks, which are supposedly 2 x 4GB 800mhz DDR2 8v-PC2-6400-1845 DIMMs. For example: - 2x4gb only reading 4gb total, when only single DIMMs seated it reads each stick as 2GB, not the 4. Motherboard...

Okay, thank you everybody but I figured it out myself. Basically the case switch was faulty and so it was powering off. When the pins were shorted using a screwdriver outside of the case it would boot fine and not cut off at all. Now the system is working perfectly well running Ubuntu, just...

Sorry I didnt come back, I actually did find a compatible MB but the problem I have now is that it doesnt power on / it powers on but then cuts out. I dont know why this PC has been so challenging to build it doesnt make any sense.

The specs are as follows: intel core 2 extreme q6850 GTX 660ti ASUS P5QL-CM Motherboard LMS X700 PSU The thing is, I got it to work again by bread-boarding and resetting the CMOS, however, when I again shut it down and places in the case it wont retain power. Aa far as everything os concerned...

Bump?

Basically, I'm building a PC and it was going fine with no issues and I waa able to get into the BIOS. However, I needed to get a different boot drive and so I shut it down. Now it literally just doesnt work of the 4 pin CPU wire is connected to the motherboard, it just starts the fans...

I really need to figure out what MB's are compatible with this CPU that don't cost £30+. I simply cannot for the life of me find coherent information, as one site claims its compatible with this board then that boards actual site says it isn't. Any help?

Okay so I was able to connect the power button and its LEDs to the board by trial and error but the reset button, audio jacks and frontal USB 3.0 ports do not work because I don't think my board is able to support it. There is no 3.0 header on the board, only a 2.0. The boards audio header is a...

So basically I've taken the mobo from a Lenovo H530s and I've plonked it into this new, much bigger case which I plan to install a GTX 1060 on. Problem is, I cannot figure out where the front I/O cables, laballed "Power SW", " Power LED", and "HDD LED" are supposed to connect into - and as it's...

Okay so I ended up buying tge Fractal Design Define S case and I'm currently (attempting) to install the motherboard. The problem is that it seems Lenovo went a little out of their way to make the board ridiculously specific to the Lenovo H530s. There seems to be cables that it's asking me to...

Oops I know it's a little late but I just realised a typo on the OP: Case is a Lenovo H530s NOT Lenovo H530... I don't think that'll change anything but thought it's probably worth updating.
