Okay, I have a brain teaser for you! I'm running a Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Dell Latitude E6430 laptop on an Intel i7-3740QM. Over the past couple days I haven't been able to close my lid without causing my screen to permanently black out. However, the screen is not off and my computer is still...

Alright, thanks! I just ordered the meter and it should be here by Wednesday but until then I'm gonna try to find a local store to buy a replacement for the 250V fuse. Too bad I already took it darn near completely apart, haha.

Thanks for the quick responses! I was gonna upload some pics of the capacitors (yes, that's what they were) but ImageShack won't send me a verification email to make an account to do so and it's been a while. :-S However, upon further Googling I discovered that it's just adhesive on them so I...

My Denon AVR 15-13 5.1 receiver has developed the habit of randomly shutting itself off causing the power light to blink red at an interval of twice a second. I disconnected all the speakers and peripherals, even the subwoofer, but it still keeps shutting off. Sometimes it works perfectly, all...

Really, nobody?

I want to buy the Logitech Z506 speakers (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121044) for surround sound on my desktop pc for the purposes of movies, music and gaming. The issue is that I'm going to need something that can convert 2.1 to 5.1 audio. My home theater system has...

Awesome, thanks! I just ordered them now, minus one cable and plus one hub.

I hooked my pc (my room) up to my hdtv (living room) and want to be able to access it from there directly instead of running back and forth (for playing songs/movies/etc.). I'm thinking of getting a wireless keyboard and mouse, running two usb extension cables (about 30 feet each) to the living...

Just did it to and from my sdd (Samsung 840 Pro) and there was no difference except the same ~1 second variance I always saw. It didn't even improve over my hdd speeds. (Note that this isn't regarding the 8gb vs 16gb tests, just the 4gb vs 8gb because that's all I can test now.) Since I can now...

I have an sdd, I'll use it and see the difference. I've been doing all my editing on a separate internal hdd to decrease the total writes of my sdd.

I went ahead and shipped the sticks in question back to the Ebay seller today and already received my refund. Thanks for all the help, everybody! Though I did run some more tests with rather intruiging results if you're hungry for more! Last night I used my 2x4gb set (old G.Skill) in slots 1...

Had no effect. :( Good news is that my new SSD is really coming in handy with all the countless reboots!

I found a CPU System Agent Voltage option, but it's currently set to 0.000V and I can only take it from -0.300V to +0.400V, so 1.0V isn't an option.

Note that this is in the Gigabyte UEFI DualBIOS on the z87x-D3H. Okay, I went to the Performance tab, then Memory, and clicked Memory Sub Timings and manually set everything to the standard numbers listed for both Channels A and B. However, under the fields Round Trip Latency(DIMM1/Rank0) and...
