    Any recommendations for a good gaming laptop?

    Don't really have any price limit. I would prefer to stay under 1500 if possible, but will go higher if the hardware warrants the price.

    Any recommendations for a good gaming laptop?

    Okok, I know that laptops aren't as good as desktops when it comes to gaming, and I do have a high end desktop. But, it is at my home and I am a truck driver gone for weeks at a time, so I need a laptop as only being able to game for a few days a month really sucks. I do have a laptop already...

    New PC build - constantly reboots at bios post screen

    It seems that is the case. The computer boots fine with the flash drive. Thanks. Wow though, out of all the bad hard drives I've had over the years, I've never once seen one that made the computer reboot over and over. First time for everything.

    New PC build - constantly reboots at bios post screen

    Building a new i5 system for my moms birthday to replace the old core2duo I gave her a few years ago. Using an ASUS P8H77-V mobo, i5-2500K , and 8gb Corsair DDR3 1600. no GPU, mobo supports graphics via cpu, and the cpu provides it. Set it all up, turned it on, it went to the initial Bios...

    not able to use full disc space

    i know. hence why i was saying their full capacity was 1.81gb :p i wasn't complaining about the less in space due to seller/user binary/decimal system differences. the issue was that there seemed to be a missing 800gb+ from the drives 1.81gb formatted capacity. problem seems to have been...

    not able to use full disc space

    put in the blank drive, and even it was saying there was 838gb used even though i hadn't copied anything to it after formatting it. updated the chipset drivers in the media pc and did a quick format on the empty drive, it now shows the full 1.81tb as being available. so guessing it was just the...

    not able to use full disc space

    took one of the drives and put it in this pc. drive anylizer claims only has 346gb on it, yet windows says only has 314gb free here's the odd thing, i know for a fact that i copied more then 346gb to the drive. there's 2 main folders on the root of the drive. show properties on one folder says...

    not able to use full disc space

    sorry, but i don't quite understand how that is possible. i copied 690gb from a 750gb drive to a newly formatted and empty 1.81tb drive, how is it taking up 1.47tb on the new drive? i copied 405gb from a 1tb drive to a newly formatted and empty 1.81tb drive, how is it taking up 1.19tb on the...

    not able to use full disc space

    i've seen my fair share of these types of topics myself, but i don't think i've seen any with this exact problem. its usually windows or bios that doesn't see a full drive and thus doesn't allow a full partition. in my case, both see the full drive. i got six 2tb sata hard drives for my media...

    gta san andreas slow on xp

    ok, this is odd. my pc specs are in my sig, yet san andreas is very laggy when running on it. all drivers are up to date, and its a clean new xp installation. whats even weirder is that when i had 64bit vista on the pc, the game flew with maxxed out graphics settings. so why is it now...

    G25 Wheel + Games

    LFS? realistic? i hardly think so. not when a front wheel drive car understeers to the point that it goes sliding in a nearly straight line across the track even when only going 60mph. most closed course racing games have cars that handle like they are on ice. theres many driving games that...

    Help Before I Throw This Piece Of Crap Out The Window

    can just copy them to a different directory before doing the uninstall and then just copy them back when you install again. might be better actually since i've had times where installing a game deleted the old saves in the folder, think oblivion did it.. if you changed anything since making...
