I have an HP laptop, that came pre-installed with Windows 7, but I installed Windows 8 on it. I have a Windows 7 recovery partition on the laptop, which I want to delete, but first I would like to make a backup of it, in case I need it in the future.
I know that there's a "Create recovery...

Hi,
I built my pc in late 2012 and it's starting to struggle with modern games. I've recently bought GTA V and it plays okay at normal settings for a while.. But then my framerate drops very low and stutters after about an hour of gaming. I thought I may get an aftermarket cpu fan as I'm just...
This is something I've been noticing for a long time (since November 2013 when I built this system), but my Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H is giving me temperatures that seem really unlikely given the minimal load the system is under and flat out common sense.
The BIOS routinely reports CPU...
Hi,
First, sorry my bad english. My OS is in finnish, so I don't know all the right wording.
My PC was in "sleepmode". Then happened power failure. I restarted pc. As it was starting, my 2 y old son repeatedly pushed power button. Computer started up and it was complaining that it wasn't shut...
Hello everyone.
First off, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read this thread and again for replying.
Secondly. I need to explain that I am on an extremely tight budget.
So. I was researching a new CPU to completely replace my old Core 2 Duo build which is getting old and having...
I have a WD My Passport Ultra portable HD. I plugged it on my computer, it made sound it makes when a USB is plugged in. But it's didn't appear on My Computer. I tried plugging it into another USB port on my laptop. Again, it was recognized, it appeared on My Computer but it doesn't have any...
So, since I'm getting a lot of money thanks to my new job, and my computer before "took a dive too deep," I've been wanting to build a 4K rig. Since gaming is definitely something I want to do on it, I did some research and found that SLI is a must and the GTX 980 is the true champion. But...

I wanted to know people's thoughts on this. The min specs and recommended RAM specs for Unity are 6GB and 8GB's respectively.
I noticed that a lot of the newer console ports require high levels of Vram and Ram. I'm pretty sure this is because of lazy optimization and the developers would rather...
I have the stated motherboard from Gigabyte, I know it has North Bridge overheating issues but my board seems to be okay with that, the problem/inconvenience I have is that when I turn my PC on it turns on for 3 seconds then back off and then turns back on and boots normally. My PC has a FX 8350...
So after reading some reviews on how well the 970 is doing at 1440p I wanted to know if it's worth me selling my current 290 Vapor-X and buying a 970 and saving for a second 970?
I will be spending $320 on the GPU and another $170 on a new PSU if I go the 290 xfire route which would put me at...

I can't tell the exact spot from where the sound is coming but it appears whenever I use my CPU very much ( mostly games, like Battlefield 3 , DotA 2 (+ streaming) CS:GO.
My computer is brand new, except the HDD ( i bought a SSD and using the old HDD for more storage) and the graphics card (...
Hi I'm looking to upgrading to gigabit Ethernet and I'm curious on how to do it. I'm also curious as to if your wireless plan has to allow it for you be able to make the upgrade? And if they do let you, why don't ISPs make you pay for that capability. Links to good routers and Ethernet cables...
So my roommate cannot connect to the wifi at our apartment complex and when he tries it says the error "problem with wireless adapter or access point". Myself and our other roommates can cannot and his other devices connect fine. Also his laptop connects to other networks just fine. He does not...
Hi everyone :)
I am looking to buy a laptop for gaming but I am very confused. I figured the best way for me to explain things clearly is through bullet points, so here goes:
- it needs to be a laptop and not a desktop as I am nearly always bed bound
- I have a budget of £1,000 (although if I...

I am going to be cooling my 770 with an all in one liquid cooler using the g10. A fan is the only thing cooling the VRM. I am curious if just a fan would suffice for the 770 and if it would work for an overclock as well.
I've been using a MSI Z87-G41 (PC mate) in junction with my 4670k. I've been forced to use the Intel Tuning Utility because the mobo only overclocks with OC genie, not manually. Is this normal? If it is I am rather disappointed. This looks like a nice chip.
I was recently playing a game, Diablo 3, and noticed that there was this weird smell coming from my computer. I didn't think much about it until my computer completely shut off. I immediately thought it was the video card, because I have had problems with it in the past. So I turned it back on...
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I’m completely stumped after a lot of Crossfire problem-solving. Even though both cards had the exact same item number on Newegg (checked my receipts), they were purchased a year apart and to my surprise, one is built with a Pitcairn GPU and one with Tahiti. They’re...
