So I've recently had to reinstall Windows on my ageing (gracefully, I might add) Z77 Ivy Bridge build from 2012, and went into it thinking I wasn't going to be installing any drivers from the mobo manufacturer simply based on the fact that they're all from 2013 and most aren't Windows 10...

Hello all,

Greetings. There are a few threads on the internet already about this particular question, but I've also discovered that there appears to be a modified BIOS that allows you to use Ivy Bridge processors. However, the thread seems to imply the BIOS isn't easy to install and they seem to be...

I just got and installed a new MSI GTX 1070 which runs fine and everything, except in certain games there is no sound after the loading cut-scenes at the beginning when launching. GTA V and Far Cry 4 are examples of this, but in Thief 2014 for example, the sound works perfectly.

Hey guys,
Over the last few weeks my computer has started stuttering like mad and frequently getting the BSOD. By "stuttering" I mean, my screen freezes, the sound gets stuck and I manually can't do anything for 1-3 seconds. Sometimes, the freezing is prolonged (10s or more) and followed by a...

I know viewsonic monitors were the best back in 2000s but i havent heard much about them lately. I currently own a DELLIN2030m monitor which is not a full hd monitor sadly which made me want to upgrade to 1080p. I came across this great looking 1080p 2ms response monitor at a good price ...
How do I set up two monitors (
Samsung Simple LED 27" Monitor with White w/ Blue TOC Finish) with this computer(CyberpowerPC Gamer Supreme SLC7000 1-Inch Desktop (Black/Red) I need to know what cords I need and the links to them on Amazon cause I have no technical skill whatsoever, thanks!
I am trying to get three monitors on my msi gtx 970 oc edition and I am looking for adapters (trying to use the hdmi, a dvi-i to vga, and a dvi-d to vga) but i keep finding a whole bunch of specs on adapters as active or passive. What is the difference? Which one do i need?
