I am going to build a pc in the near future, and the case I will be using has no optical drive slot. I still use my blu ray drive for burning blu ray home movies, and will be using it to back up my data to m-disk, when I one day get around to that. There are no Sata cables long enough to allow...

Let me make sure I've got this straight: The pc turns on using the little microswitch that you circled, but If you press it again while the pc is running, it doesn't shut down? Also, did you add those yellow wires or did they come with the pc?

I had this happen to a pc a while back and the problem was really unusual in that it was a bad stick of RAM. I don't know if this is a common occurrence or not...

Why do you want to change the GPU? The Quadro 3000m is a pretty powerful card, and although it won't be as good as a dedicated gaming GPU, it should perform just fine.

Try M-Disk. They claim they can store data for thousands of years. Most new Blu-ray burners support it, and they should have it in the logo on the front.

Your motherboard is an ASUS PRIME B450M-A according to the listing. My research says that the board should have four RAM slots This means that you could get your memory is running in dual channel for optimum performance. You might notice that the colours of the slots alternate. Make sure you...

When you say "glitchy, and choppy", what exactly do you mean? Are you getting stutters, where the game just stops in the middle of the action, or is the problem that when you move the character from one place to another, they seem to teleport back again, or when you try to place a build, it...

The Core2 Quad is a pretty old CPU by today's standards. I recently gave a q9400 based system to my nephew to play Fortnite, but it even struggles with that now. I'm considering trying to overclock the crap out of it, but I can't get it to work atm... The Quad is also missing the instruction...

I am one of those weirdos that still owns a CRT monitor. I also run a home tutoring business that has had to move online due to you know what. To demonstrate maths problems and help kids with their worksheets, I have to switch to using a document camera and write out problems by hand. I love...

I have an ongoing project that involves moving files and data into a folder structure. I've set up a kind of workflow that involves having the input folder and output folders in separate windows, and the spreadsheet of where the files and data should be going. The project spans both screens and...

The only way to overclock the CPU that I know of is to use the AI overclocking tool in the bios. Under manual settings the only options I can get are: CPU Frequency [333] (default, I tried changing this to 400, but nothing happened) PCI Express Frequency [Auto] NB Voltage [Auto] SB 1.5V Voltage...

I'm building a PC for my nephew, and decided to try and overclock the Core2 Quad 9400. It's using an Asus P5g41t-m/LX board, and I've tried using AI overclock and manual overclock but nothing seems to happen. The bios says that overclock is working, but when I run a benchmark, task manager is...

There are Firewire to USB converters, although I don't know how well they work. One such example is the Pinnacle Studio Moviebox, which you can find on eBay for all sorts of different prices. It might be worth a try, rather than wasting what appears to be your only PCI-E slot on a Firewire card...

I've tried that, but it doesn't appear in "programs and features."

I recently installed Adobe Shockwave on my pc and I must have forgotten to uncheck the "install Norton crapware 16" button that they somehow managed to hide from me yet again! :mad: It seems like Norton have gotten a whole lot more aggressive than usual with their marketing because this...

What sites are you looking at to find RAM? I think sites like Crucial, where you can tell them what PC you have will try to charge a fortune for RAM, because it's "guaranteed to work." In fairness, it'll work, but you can end up paying through the nose for it! I think it's better to look up the...

I recently installed Windows 10 on my Dell Vostro 260. It has a Nvidia EVGA 750ti graphics card, 8 GBs of ram and a core i3 processor. I have encountered a problem from day 1 of the install that is really annoying. It seems that every second time I boot it up, the start bar doesn't work...

Does the hard drive no longer boot? Does it still work when you use it in the original machine? The garbled text you showed there looks like it's a product of a corrupt file, but there may also be encryption. In either case it doesn't look too good for recovering the data I'm afraid... :(

I bought a cool little device for my car that pairs with my phone on Bluetooth and transmits into the car radio for music and as a hands-free kit. Problem is, whenever it's on, my RoadAngel Gem speed camera detector won't find the satellites! Now I'm dozy as hell and not a very good driver, so I...

Thanks! Maybe I'll give them a ring tomorrow and see what they say... ;) How did they manage to butcher the spelling so badly?! The pronounciation should have given it away! XD
