    Wallclock drains battery fast

    This is a bit off-topic from computers and other electronics. I'm just wondering why a wall clock dries out a battery faster than other clocks. You see, I have 5 wall clocks in my house and there's this certain clock that needs replacing the battery quite frequently than the others. All the...

I replaced it with my really old gpu which is a radeon hd3450 (really old as I've said :ange:). Now when I boot it only goes as far as the lock screen and then BSOD...

    AMD phenom II x4 945 displays 2 cores instead of 4.

    I had just installed a Phenom II x4 945 today to my MSI KA780GM2 mobo. The BIOS version is updated to the latest which is 7549v38. The processor requires 7549v34 update. This mobo has core control but not ACC. In the BIOS's core control, 4 cores are detected and all are enabled. In Windows 7...

    Hard drive becomes undetected

    Thank you Mr/Ms Solandri. Actually, the cable I'm using now has a clip and is quite tight. But, will still check to ensure if it's the cable or not. -Erwin

    Hard drive becomes undetected

    Thank you Mr. Barnes. The drive appears on post and is detected by bios. I forgot to mention that I have a separate system drive and the drive in question is only for storage. The last time it happened I was uploading files from that drive to a cloud storage. The transfer was suddenly stopped...

    8500GT vs HD3450 Hybrid Xfire (HD3200)

    Which of the 2 cards perform better? Tasks are mostly playing/streaming videos, and light gaming sometimes. I'm currently using the 3450 on hybrid just because I think its better, but I don't really know.. Have a good day!

    Radeon hd6670 on MSI KA780gm2

    Hi guys.. I'm currently using a hd 3450 on a MSI ka780gm2 board on hybrid xfire with athlon x2 7750b. Performance is very limited when it comes to gaming. Though I'm not much of a gamer, sometimes I like to play FPS games and online games. And the poor gfx won't let me. I plan to upgrade soon...
