    Buying a used gamer pc - are the specs OK?

    Most likely a FSP500-60APN 85+, but FSP for sure. They call it a SharkGaming Bloodpump :p You have the option to upgrade to FSP Hydro Gold or a Corsair, but that would only be a jackpot.

    kinguin.net legit or scam? - Win 10

    I've bought two Win10 keys there. It's an OEM key usually, which means decreased support and you supposedly can't use it more than once. I'm pretty sure it just means you can't have two activated at the same time, as I've never had issues with reinstalls. Microsofts wording is terrible though...

    Buying a used gamer pc - are the specs OK?

    Neither would I, but buying from new you might get an i3 / RX470 build or equivalent. Ryzen 3 hasn't launched in stores here yet. However I'm a big fan of buying new, because you don't know anything about the used parts.

    Buying a used gamer pc - are the specs OK?

    Still a decent 6 core CPU, the cheapest 1060 is about $360 and entirely quality components. Not too bad a deal to be honest.

    laptop: swapping SSD's w/ dif O.S ?

    If you got the space for it, as Darren says you can dual boot on one disk. Just install Windows first, and Linux will ask if you want to install alongside Windows during install. But yes, you can absolutely do that.

    BIOS Update led to BSoD

    In IMG_1656 you have two options, CSM and SecureBoot. Did you fiddle with them after BIOS update?

    Does "Do Not Track" really work?

    All in all it's pretty much useless yeah, but it might save you a click on a popup.

    Uninstalling a driver

    You might be able to disable the device in the BIOS (Spam hit F1 or Delete during boot). Otherwise you'd need to take the wireless network card out of the laptop, which is possible.

    Windows 10 on old computer

    I've found Windows 10 32-bit to use very little memory at idle compared to Windows 7. For me it's like 450MB vs 750MB. And as for drivers, Windows 10 is much better at auto installing the various crap. Would recommend/10 With a slow CPU like that (currently using a 6400+ 3.2GHz as ETH mining...

    Windows display goes blank.

    Only the software you've installed then. Did you use the driver CD or download them online? Did you check your advanced power settings for HDD turnoff/spin down? Default is 20min. Never had that on, just a thought.

    Restart to disable signature drivers, computer won't boot now.

    Drivers can be signed with a signature, and you can reboot Windows to disable that check. Same menu for Safe Mode. From MSI Forums: POST CODE "99" DEFINITION is "Super IO Initialization". Try updating the BIOS, check for any shorting (maybe a standoff is incorrectly placed etc) or you might need...

    Windows display goes blank.

    Is it a PC you built yourself or bought from a store? Store bought will have third party applicatiions installed, one of those could be a screensaver app. There's also a setting for when to turn off your HDDs in the advanced power settings. I have those on never.

    connecting new desktop to laptop?

    You can't just plug a USB cable in both of them and transfer. You could with an ethernet cable, but there are easier ways. Are they both connected to the same internet? If so, you should be able to enable/use sharing, ie. transferring over your local router. This should also be faster than USB...

    Mail probs

    GMail or even Hotmail are great email providers. Then use Mozilla Thunderbird as a client, and you will have no more problems.

    Monitor wont detect custom PC.

    Your motherboard has connectors for monitors, but you don't have an integrated GPU in your CPU. They will be released later this year. Your PC will only work with a dedicated GPU, which you must plug the cables in to. But I assume you figured that out by getting something on the monitors as per...

    1st build nearly completed...I have reached a stalemate.

    Why wouldn't you get updates? The only thing stopping you from that is KB4012982, which changes a 0 to 1 in a .dll file. Just don't install it, and it works completely fine. There will probably be other future updates doing the same thing. Accidentally install it? Use a patcher to make that 1 a...

    1st build nearly completed...I have reached a stalemate.

    Kaby Lake can absolutely run on Windows 7. What you're experiencing is most likely a driver needed for your disk, but the motherboard only comes with Windows 10 drivers. The only obstacle is Windows Update, which will artificially block you. Either use PortUp to go around it all together, or you...
