    How long does laptop battery last

    There's always the miniature cold fusion reactor option. Or just contact NASA and buy yourself a radioisotope thermoelectric generator. You could always buy more batteries. But that's a pain because depending on the game it may not be practical. Like if you are in a FPS. But if you're playing...

    In addition to Ccleaner run System Ninja. It will find temp files that Ccleaner won't. In fact, massive amounts of them. You may be surprised. I use both Ccleaner and System Ninja.

It was a project I had in mind, but other stuff is holdig me down from doing it at the moment. Be a great blog entry with my results. I have to wonder if the built-in key logger sends...

    Anti-Virus... General Protection Software

    No signature-based anti-virus will catch polymorphic malware like ransomware. You need a sandbox environment for your browser. I highly recommend you check out Sandboxie for your browser. It's free and after about 30 days you'll get a nag screen every time you launch your browser. But it's a...

    Donating and Want to Erase

    If the hard drives are platters, meaning they spin and are mechanical, use DBAN. If the hard drives are SSDs then you need to purchase Parted Magic. Parted Magic is a bootable CD. You would burn Parted Magic to CD with something like Imgburn portable and then boot the CD like you would a...

    Need help deleting a Virus my friend got

    You can try a Bitdefender live CD or any number of other anti-virus live CDs. If all else fails, format and reinstall. You've been owned. Next time he'll learn not to quote,"download from shady ass websites" and make periodic clones of the system to an external HDD.

    Is the GTX 1050 a good upgrade right now?

    It should fit, and if it doesn't, according to this website your upper HDD cage comes out if it doesn't fit. The 1060 I listed in post #3 will definitely fit.

    Is the GTX 1050 a good upgrade right now?

    Looks good, I don't foresee a bottleneck at all. I talked about you cloning your HDD. You might want to heed that advice since your HDD is like 10 years old? and it's a Seagate and I don't trust that brand at all. Just some food for thought.

    Is the GTX 1050 a good upgrade right now?

    What kind of CPU do you have? I don't foresee a bottleneck since you upgraded everything 5 years ago. PSU should be fine. I wouldn't wait too long for a GPU. I hear the Bitcoin craze may be increasing again and GPU's will go through the roof. As if they aren't overly priced now already.
