noob.

I just built my computer, I am in the process of getting Windows 10 installed, and I realize I'm going to need drivers for anything to function. What drivers will I need and where can I get them?

The green light on unit went out. I checked output voltage, it was 2 volts. Replaced power cord and the green light is blinking. What does this mean?

A friend of mine has a laptop about two years old. It is running Windows 8.When he types into MS Word or an address into Firefox, the laptop freezes. The only way of unfreezing it is to press the start button (I think he means the start button on the front of the PC, he didn't make that clear)...

The start menu opens and closes every second and I can barely navigate my desktop, Holding the Alt key helps until I let go, I restarted my MSI Apache pro which I had for a few months now, I tried powershell,command prompt,turning off cortina,etc.

Sorry about the long title! I have recently done a complete PC upgrade and purchased the Samsung 850 3D-NAND (250gb) 2.5" SSD. This is massively faster than my previous HDD (which I have kept as additional/main storage). If I had been aware of the option to use a PCI-E SSD, I would have done...

I want to overclock my AMD Athlon x4 860k to 4,0 ghz (Is 1.3750 a good voltage btw?), but there is one problem. AMD Overdrive doesn't let me overclock higher then 3,8 ghz for some reason. Maybe it's because I need to disable turbo core? Or is it something else? If anyone knows, write down a...
