To sum it up, I'm a pc gamer whose barely scratched the surface of actually understanding the tech and I'm trying to find a way to expand my pc's storage capability externally in a way that essentially future proofs it and ends the cycle of deleting games to make room for others in todays...
I've been looking for a kind of specific HDD/SSD dock. As all of my computers now have Usb 3.1, and one has USB 3.1 Gen 2, I figured its time to update my internal to external storage adapter. My laptop also has an e-sata port. So I am looking for a preferrably dual 2.5/3.5in. HDD/SSD dock, that...
Hello!
I have an M-Audio Delta 1010LT PCI sound card (Here's a review so you can see it - https://www.gearslutz.com/board/reviews/715065-m-audio-delta-1010lt.html) which is in my now very tired Dell T3400 workstation, which since the upgrade to Windows 10 can't really cope anymore. I'd like to...
Hello,
My old Dell T3400 is starting to grind to a halt. Unfortunately it is the PC I use for home recording and was wondering if I might be able to use the sound card externally on my HP laptop? It doesn't have to be a fancy casing, it's more the adapter that I am looking to find. When I...
Hi there, I have a few old hard drives I'm trying to make use of. They all are Fantom Drives that have USB 2.0 as well as eSATA connections. I got a PCIe card with 2 SATA and 2 eSATA connectors and popped it in. The device shows up on Device Manager, but hard drives do not read at all when...
I am trying to connect a external drive to my computer and it uses a USB 3.0 interface/connector. I have a USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter am connected it to my computer via the eSATA port on my computer and it doesn't seem to pop up. Is there something wrong with the cable or the port itself? (I have...
I have eight 5 TB externals I'm currently using for some data storage and backups. I'd like to be able to access them all on my PC at the same time. And I'd like to be able to transfer between them at a reasonable speed.
I'm out of internal slots so I can't buy a USB card. So I'm looking at...

I am starting my second build after having my first one for around 2 years. I already feel like I know which components I am going to use however I am really struggling to decide on a case that I hope will have a good airflow and is pretty silent. I understand that most people will advise you to...
Hello, I recently made a build without replacing the old power supply and it went so terribly wrong. It just gave up and I think damaged either my cpu or motherboard. I replaced the power supply with Evga 500w one, but every time I want to turn pc on, first I have to do the old "capacitor drain"...
Hello all,
So I have always wanted to play a game on my PC while having a film/video on a second screen.
I have been using my laptop as a way to watch youtube videos, but I have always had the problem of not having both audio streams come into my headset.
So, how can I mix the laptop and PC...

I'm running a HD7870 for my first monitor for gaming, and a HD5870 for a separate second monitor for looking things up, watching things, etc. while I game. The problem (that I've noticed) is that the 5870 is disabled in the Catalyst Center, but it is enabled in my Device Manager thus not sending...
I recently bought a computer bundled with a monitor and the monitor looked fine out of the box. When I turned it on, I noticed about 1 inch black space between the edge of the monitor and the lit up screen. The monitor is the Acer P246HLAbd (UM.FP6AA.A01) , widescreen 24" and 1920 x 1080...
I have a Corsair Obsidian 750d, but I hate it. I honestly don't know why because it's a good case, I just find it unattractive I guess. So yesterday I went and got a 760T which just looks a lot better to me. I'm in the process of moving all my components out of the 750D and into the 760T. My...
So I'd like to upgrade the RAM on my desktop. It is currently running 4GB of DDR3 1066MHz RAM on an Intel P43 Gigabyte motherboard and an Intel Q6600 CPU. The last time I tried to upgrade the memory (went for DDR3 1600MHz), I couldn't get the system to boot. I believe this is because I didn't OC...

The other day I was using my laptop, (its not BRAND new or anything, its about 6 or 7 months old. (Lenovo y410p 16x9))
It was perfectly fine, and it said that windows had to update so I let it. After the update it worked fine as well. I set the laptop down carefully, like I always do. I normally...
