    8700k Temperature jumping randomly

    If you're overclocking, you might want to play with the voltage. Like trim the voltage down a bit. What cooler are you using? If you have automatic overclocking on, then that too could be the issue.

    Windows XP Custom Throwback

    The drivers for the motherboard you've chosen don't support Win XP. The drivers at MSI's website for Windows 7 might work, but I have my doubts. I'd look at the LGA 1156 platform. I don't even think the GT 1030 has a XP compatible driver.

    Install Windows from Linux?

    Welp, I'm not a Windows 10 fan, so there's that. But you probably could install Win 10 on it. All you do is boot from the OS disk. It will then load a bunch of things, reboot and ask if you want to boot from CD again, don't. Just let it boot this time. To boot from CD in a Dell, while the...

    Laptop help

    It looks like indeed this laptop just has one RAM slot. And its max RAM is 8 GB. So if you want 8GB you'll need to buy an 8 GB RAM stick. He posted the link.

    Do I need to unplug USB cables to save power?

    Just your computer being plugged into the wall being powered off will probably pull an idle load more than your USB ports combined. I mean, the PSU its self has circuitry at that will have a load on the wall outlit even when the computer isn't on. If you have an USB mouse or keyboard, Bluetooth...

    Can you download a Youtube video for offline viewing?

    You can do it with a browser add-on or an independent dedicated App on your computer. I don't know if I can recommend what you can use on here though. I could have sworn the use of "Google it" was frowned upon here.

    I can't go to bios

    Or even better, read the motherboard manual and learn how to use the CMOS reset jumper. Before you do that though, just try hammering the key needed to enter BIOS the very nano second you power on the puter. Then change your options back to normal boot.

    Good malware removal?

    They're all idiots, too. In fact, they use Microsoft Office when you could use Libre Office. If I ran a company I wouldn't do this, and I don't care what you or anyone else thinks.

    Good bluetooth device for phone /being located from phone number?

    Do you have a car with Bluetooth already built-in? If so, your phone would already have Bluetooth so no adapter needed. If your car does not have Bluetooth and you want to transmit your phone to your car stereo, then try something like this...

    Are these compatible?

    And just to let you know, you may want to check the motherboard's QVL list for that RAM. It's not necessary, but I do this to save me from having any and all possible incompatible issues or RAM issues down the road and having to go through a BS RMA.

    Remotely locking a computer down

    If this was me, and this little bastard stole my laptop, I'd remote in, grab the IP address he's connected to and tell the police about the stolen laptop and report the IP the laptop reports back. Then the police can subpoena the ISP attached to that IP address, get a warrant and arrest ass...

    Is Avast still the best free antivirus?

    In the past I used Bitdefender Free which is lightweight and cloud-based to help catch polymorphic malware. I put it on all the computers I work with. It doesn't have loads of crap with it and it just works. Definition-based anti-virus isn't a full prof solution though. You might want to read...
