What resolution are you running the game at? Does the CPU fan spin temporary after powering on the system? The CPU fan will spin during boot up before the BIOS fully initializes and applies a fan profile, if this doesn't happen you might have an issue with you fan or where it's connected.

In theory yes. Both CPUs are 35w so the motherboard physically can support it and both CPUs share the same CPUID in the microcode (206A7). They share the same RAM speeds and bus speeds as well. It's been sometime since i've done a CPU swap in a laptop (I believe it was a T9800 upgrade) and I...

That motherboard has an onboard diagnostic led on the bottom. What numbers show up last? These numbers can be referenced in the manual.

It's a tough question because the "best budget" motherboard would be based around things a particular individual would find important. I myself look for ASRock motherboards when looking below $80 bucks. I also want the cheapest option that comes with better than standard power delivery for the...

Go for 16GB DDR4-2666 (2666 is native for that CPU) your going to need it sooner then later. The rest of the stuff looks good, maybe look into a aftermarket cpu cooler (nothing crazy just something a little better) to handle consistent load. Video editing can always benefit from more...

I did a little bit of research and found the following difference between the two boards. CN-02PR7R: For RGB Backlit Display CN-035JKV: For WLED Backlit Display Hope it helps!

Normally those options will remain locked and there is no special key combination to unlock more advanced options. I've previously owned two laptops that needed better options for fan speed control or using different wifi cards and went to bios mods (google it) to create a request for a modded...

That RAM should work fine. I wouldn't worry about it.

Issues like this can be difficult to diagnose but judging by your description a good place to start would be to check the motherboard standoffs. I'd verify there are no extra standoffs pressing against the back of the board (or any wandering screws that may have fallen and ended up lodged...

Try DEL for BIOS screen, and F12 for Boot Menu. Not sure if your saying you tried to boot to cd but got nothing but a black screen, or you coincidentally needed to boot from cd on the same day you booted your computer and it had a black screen.

Well inside your computer is a series of hamsters. These hamsters power your serpentine belt to spin your hard drive, fans, and charge your flux capacitor.

If you have another computer around that you could transfer that outlook file too and open it up in outlook 2013 you can remove the possibility of his outlook file being corrupted and lean more towards the user profile / outlook 2013 configuration being damaged.

A computer like this could definitely play those games on 1080p. You should not have to worry.

That CPU is a good chip. Any 2nd generation and up i5 is still a solid processor to use in modern games. Personally I think you should go with a 280x, 290x is kinda pricey vs the 280x for a moderate performance boost, not saying the 290x isn't a great card just not to sure if its worth it...
