I just finished setting up my three monitor setup and I noticed that all three of them are different height when they are side by site on their included stand. The table they are on is completely flat by the way with no tilt to it. I have pushed all three monitors down into their base until...

Hi so I have a Windows 8.1 laptop which I had just upgraded to Windows 10. The problem is every time my computer is idle and the screen automatically shuts off, the hard drive would also shut off for a quick second and then turn back on. This repeats in a cycle of about 10 times per minute. I...

I have replaced the CMOS battery and updated the BIOS to the latest version available on the Gigabyte website.

This problem has only occurred about two days ago and occurred out of nowhere. The system operated without a hitch prior. The problem is that when I press the power button, for a split second the CPU fan would spin, case fan would spin, PSU fan would spin, and DVD drive would make a noise then...

Thanks for your assistance, everything came out great! After installing the updates I was able to extend my hard drive to the full 500 GB.

You got to be kidding me. I just did what you said and partitioned the drive to 80 GB for Windows XP installation and it worked. Thank you so much for your time in helping me with this. As a last question, do you know why I had to set the partitioning to a smaller volume prior to installing...

Thanks for your reply. The size of the drive is 500 GB. The thing is my computer is an old laptop. The drivers for it are only Windows XP and Vista. I have tried to play around with the Windows 7 but it is missing a lot of drivers.

I have a brand new hard drive my friend gave to me after he upgraded to an SSD. It originally came from a laptop with Windows 8 installed. I installed the drive in my laptop and installed Windows XP successfully. However upon boot up it would display the message: Disk read error occured press...

But I have the new drivers from AMD. If you were to look at the link of the drivers for the HD Radeon 5xxx series and the 6xxx series from AMD, they would both point to the same download link. You are basically downloading the same generic driver. That is where I am confused. If I have the...

I am upgrading from a 5770 to 6970 AMD graphics card. Since I have the latest driver from AMD for my old card already, is it possible to just install my new card and don't have to uninstall and reinstall the graphics driver? What are your thoughts on that?

I have 4GB of RAM running at 1600mhz. So my question is when should my computer feel sluggish when it is running low on RAM? When the RAM usage is above 4GB and thus tapping into the HD space for the RAM or much lower? I feel like my whole computer is slower when I have used about or over 3.2GB...

Oh yeah I forgot to say the interface is Sata II. Thanks for the input.

Lets say you have two hard drives, A and B. You are transferring a very large file from hard driver B to and external Hard drive C. Would that make the hard drive A lag? Hard drive A is the main drive by the way and it holds the OS and everything. Hard drive B is just a storage drive.
