I set up my brand new HP Envy 360 laptop last week. I don't have wireless so I have wired cable. This suits me as I never move the laptop from my desk. I noticed last week that even when I power off the laptop at night, the ethernet port stays lit up. I've been told not to worry about it...

On Can You Run It it says that I have 465mb of dedicated video ram, but on my system settings it says 512mb.... *confusion*

So recently, I've been trying overclocking my CPU because I got a new cooler and I just wanted more performance out of my system. I was aiming for 4GHz, and that was fairly easy so I tried to get it to 4.2GHz. When I raised my multiplier to 41, and stress tested, 1 second in, a crash...

So, I put together a new gaming system, and honestly, I kind of rushed into some of these components without proper research, and I'm afraid I made some mistakes. I put it all together last night, and it powered up, but no video. I was too pressed for time to do any problem solving and I'm...

Hey Tomshardware! You guys helped me immensely when building my comp about 2 1/2 years ago but I need your help again. I'm having weird problems with my cpu and maybe ram. My cpu usage is getting maxed out when I'm simply updating league of Legends. I can't browse the Internet or do anything...

Hello! I was wanting to start building a dual use PC with an emphasis on gaming as I'll be looking to replace my Xbox 1 (sell it if I can along with my copy of AC: Syndicate and if it'll help me afford this build.) and use it as a media center for music & photos, with some video transcoding &...

I love my MSI GTX 980 TI. But I have very loud coil whine. This is NOT a problem as far as noise is concerned, because 99.9999% of the time I'm using my headset when the card is in action and I don't even hear it anyway. So I'm COMPLETELY unconcerned with the sound of it: I'll never hear it...

My nephew plays lots of League of Legends and similar games. I literally cannot use the internet while he's doing it; he starts to go into a blind panic about his sudden lag and freaks out. He's really anxious about it; our ISP is also kinda shady so he's a little justified, as a sudden lag...
