    Another way to turn on the computer besides from the switch?

    My parents computer stopped turning on, at first i thought it may have been just the switch but then i pulled out the switch (from the motherboard) and tested it with just 2 wires and shorting them, and that doesn't turn it on either. I also changed the PSU to make sure it wasn't that the...

    My supreme idiocy

    Like everyone said should really clean it off and re-apply if you want to go hardcore use rubbing alcohol (with cotton buds), but if you don't use new thermal paste it won't blow up, might just run a few degrees hotter, those CPU's run up 100 degrees C anyway, I've done it before (not changed...

    Gaming Monitor

    Just go with something 1080p, There all pretty much the same I'd say, unless your a photograph or a designer that deals with images all the time you won't notice much differences. I doubt anyone notices the differences between 2ms and 5ms response time, I don't think they make them slower...

    RAM + Gaming??

    depends if your getting 32bit or 64bit windows, 32bit windows can only address max of 4GB of RAM and then it reserves space for graphics memory and other stuff, so realisticly only 3GB of usable RAM so installing more than 3GB of RAM on 32bit is a bit pointless, where as 64bit can address alot...

    Cloning a boot drive? software?

    I'd rather not do a fresh install, i'd rather it run a bit slower than spend hours and hours reinstalling and resetting up everything, I don't mind it being slower than normal, as long as its faster than the old drive.
