    Question I need help solving repeated blue screens of death while gaming

    Hello everyone! I have tried so many things to fix this issue, but nothing has seemed to solve it. I've exhausted the things I know to try, so now I need help from those who are more knowledgeable than myself. The main issue is that I have been receiving BSODs, but only while gaming. This...

    Question about studio headphones for PC

    Hello! I play a lot of PC games, listen to music, and do plenty of other things that require me listening to audio. I have a steelseries arctis 7 wireless headset, and while I like them (especially the wireless factor and built-in mic), I can't help but think that there is a way better...

    Thank you for the information! I should try and find out if the monitors will have that overlap you mentioned, and where the overlap would potentially occur.

    Question regarding monitor mounting on a stand

    Hello everyone! I need to mount both of my monitors to a dual-monitor mounting stand. Both are VESA compatible, and I've found a stand I like and it is a good price. The stand says it can hold up to two 27" monitors, 1 for each arm. I have a 23.6" monitor and a 32" monitor. Stands that...

    Can I mix RAM sizes?

    Hello! I am looking to add more RAM to my PC. I currently have 2 sticks of DDR3 4GB each. I looked up the exact same brand of RAM, DDR3, same CAS latency, same voltage, same everything, except the size. The only difference between the RAM I currently have installed and the RAM I am looking...

    Laptop battery life question

    Hello! I did bring my laptop into a certified Lenovo repair center, and they did a battery gauge reset, which helped the problem about halfway. Apparently the battery and Windows were not detecting the same level of charge between the two, so when Windows thought the battery was fully charged...

    How do you stop Microsoft One Drive for Business from running?

    I do appreciate that you're willing to upload that stuff, but I honestly don't know enough about those things to implement their use, nor do I know how to tell if it is safe in general. I will look into how to look into the click to run and example config files, and I will go from there. Thank...

    How do you stop Microsoft One Drive for Business from running?

    I have a Windows 10 laptop with Microsoft Office 365 installed on it. I don't use the regular One Drive, nor do I use One Drive for Business, and One Drive for Business tends to run in the background on my laptop. I need to go into the system tray and right click and hit exit to get it to...

    An app is preventing restart/shutdown of Windows 10, and I don't know what it is. Please help.

    Hi everyone. I'm sure we've all had the occasional warning message of "This app is preventing your computer from restarting, make sure to go back and save your work, or click restart to close it" (or something along those lines). My PC does this 95% of the time I go to restart or shutdown. It...

    Can you get MS Project and MS Visio within Office 365?

    I have office 365 and it does not contain either of those. If this is a project for school, I recommend checking to see if your school has a web store of some sort. Some colleges and universities have these, and in them you can get software for free or deeply discounted.

    Windows 10 Installation from USB

    A friend of mine wants to build a PC, but he doesn't want to spend money on an optical drive, nor the operating system. His school allows the students to get software discounted or free, and he says that Windows 10 Education is offered free through his school, in the form of a digital code. I...

    Laptop battery life question

    Okay, thank you for all the help on this topic. I'll try checking on the processes every so often, and see if that yields anything. If not, I might just have to contact Lenovo and see if there is anything they can do under the warranty I currently have. It seems like we've tried most of the...
