    Why is harddrive space less than originaly stated?

    Bad title maybe? Here's my issue, and I don't know if this is common or not. I've just bought another SSD, 500 GB (shoulda got 1TB), however it was a pretty good price for my area and I didn't want to throw in another 200$ for a 1TB drive. So when I installed it, it's showing the max...

    Nvidia Control Panel Settings/ Dont Starve

    I made a thread a few days ago because I was having problems with low fps/game speed problems with most of my games. I eventually messed around enough with the settings in Nvidia control Panel, and now I can play most of my games with good performance. I was wondering if someone could post a...

    Could I have damaged my gpu?

    So I've tested out a bunch of games here, using Steam, Origin and battle.net. I'll leave a short description below, one thing I noticed that was never there before and that can be seen in the bottom right while playing, is some sort of symbol, it's like a grey colored circle/rectangle on the...

    Could I have damaged my gpu?

    Yeah It looks like mainly steam games are affected. This whole thing became a problem after I uninstalled my GPU, although I don't think the problem comes from that. Games like, "Overwatch", which is not a steam game plays fine, completly no problems. And then Compare that to a game that...

    Could I have damaged my gpu?

    I'm having difficulty finding multi-meter's, I went to a few places today and they are out of stock currently, which is wierd. I'm going to test my PSU regardless, even if I have to order it on-line. I was wondering if there are any other suggestions? Also would defragging my HDD's help? I've...

    Could I have damaged my gpu?

    Still no luck, it's slightly better but definatly slowed down still. Start up seems better, however when I play games it's still slowed down. I was thinking of uninstalling Java, I am wondering if that is somehow conflicting with something because I was prompted to update java the very first...

    Could I have damaged my gpu?

    I did the System restore, I experienced an error that told me that It did not change my program settings. Said to try again, or restore to a different point, did both of those options and it hasn't helped. I think I'm going to do the DDU again, but this time I am going to install it to the 2nd...

    Steam games running slow, other games running normal

    So here's the weird thing, I've tired multiple games on steam lately. All of them are running slowly, keep in mind though the fps are absolutly fine, 100+ as per usual. Except the mechanics in game are the thing that is running slower than usual. For example, In 7 Days to die: any action I do...

    When is it time to upgrade your SSD that holds your OS?

    I should also note that it's infact a 250 GB SSD, but you're answer has pretty much summed up what I was expecting to hear. I live in Canada so I expect the price will be higher, but perhaps you are right and it's just time to upgrade that SSD. The thing is, that I don't really want any games...

    When is it time to upgrade your SSD that holds your OS?

    I built this computer about 2 or 3 years ago, strickly for gaming mostly. When I built it I purchased a 240gb SSD, and put my OS (windows 7) on it, and bought another 1TB HD for all my steam games. I ended up buying another 2 TB HD and that's what currently plugged in for my storage space...

    Can updating drivers, affect a keyboard?

    I bought a gtx1080 recently, and updated my drivers for it. I may not have completly deleted the older drivers of my previous card, when I installed my new gpu and its drivers- could this somehow be related for my keyboard sometimes not responding Ie. not being able to type at times? My...

    I misread, I should have installed my new card by now. Quick question without making a new thread, but do I absoultly have to remove my motherboard when installing a new card? I'm thinking no but everywhere I read they are telling me to do so. I'm just swapping out an old card and putting in a...
