The ROG swift is definitely out of the budget. I was looking around 250 USD and I think the Benq I linked in the original post seems to be the best monitor at that price point from the research, unless anyone can show me one Ive missed.

Oh my sigs old. Im on a 4770k and a GTX 770 now, that's more than enough I'd asume

I use my PC mainly for gaming. Are the colors on these faster TN panels total garbage? Or are the "acceptable" for a non photo editor? Would the colors be same, better or worse than the panel I'm currently using? If its same or better I think I'd go for the upgrade

I've been hearing a lot online lately about how people really love these high refresh rate monitors, and how smooth everything is. I've been curious about upgrading my older monitor, but I'm not sure if the difference would be worth it. I'm looking at this monitor after shopping around for a...

I disabled the ability for the network card to wake the machine in device manager, no dice. This seems to work yes. I can shut down with the button inside WMC. However I still have to get up and go to the machine because it says "These apps are preventing shutdown" and it lists WMC. Pressing...

I have the latest drivers for it, however they are quite old

So my PC isn't strictly a HTPC but I've got a TV tuner with remote that I use with Windows Media Center in it so I hope this is the right section. I'm having a problem with shutting down the computer with the power button that's on the remote. I often want to just power the machine down when I'm...

I don't mean to thread necro but I wanted to post an update. I swapped to a Samsung 840 Evo and I got windows installed with UEFI and secure boot enabled and the boot times off the hybrid boot are around 2-3 seconds like the laptop and this seems to have fixed whatever the issue was.

I found it was actually installed in Legacy mode, I could reinstall to UEFI mode soon. The slow part is when the windows logo appears. I ran ASSD and atto with the intel RST drivers uninstalled and on the MS driver and I got worse results (specifically on the 4K and 4K-64Thrd in ASSD) on the...

I can not get it to create an event 100. Who knows, I'm not really worried about the laptop right now anyway. So anyway, when I get back home tomorow I'm going to check if Windows on the desktop is installed in UEFI mode. I found this guide on the net

Isn't that the Hybrid shutdown is supposed to do? It uses the hybrid file for a faster shutdow. I only use the shutdown command and my laptop hasn't had Event 100 since December 28th. (I use it daily for school) There are resume times from when I woke it up from idle and those are like 600 ms...

I'll look into doing this soon. So with the hybrid shutdown in Win8.1 my laptop is reporting a resume duration of 3304ms, and doesn't seem to create Event 100, but instead event 300 Standby Incident Time (UTC) : ‎2014‎-‎02‎-‎09T02:39:29.598561400Z...

Here is my boot log Windows has started up: Boot Duration : 32391ms IsDegradation : false Incident Time (UTC) : ‎2014‎-‎02‎-‎08T17:10:35.770693100Z - EventData BootTsVersion 2 BootStartTime 2014-02-08T17:10:35.770693100Z...

When I enabled secure boot my SSD disappeared from the BIOS until I reverted the settings. with secure boot disabled the system runs, just in the way I have gone over in this thread. The Windows BIOS time you are mention, I get 14.8 seconds. Anyway in that thread I linked about my SSD and z87...

Okay with CSM enable, I get this: Image The current BIOS setting do not fully support the boot device. Click OK to enter the BIOS Setup. then in yellow text: Go to Advanced>Boot>CSM Parameters and adjust the CSM (Compatibility Support Module) settings to enable the boot device."]The current...

I'll go make sure that Full Secure Boot is enabled. And I meant yes, it is disabled. My signature build is very out of date. My newer specs are listed above in the thread.

Yes, I do. Alright, well this is acceptable. I just wanted to make sure everything is going normal. This is my first experience with SSDs, and I haven't built a system since my Core2Quad I just upgraded from, so I'm a little out of the loop on this stuff. Thanks for the help! :)

I have the RAM at 1600 Mhz. The laptop and desktop both have 8GB. I had the other drives hooked up when I installed windows but they are purely storage drives, and unhooking doesn't affect the boot time. The swap file is auto I guess? Its all on default on both machines. The hybrid boot is...

I'm using the Intel rapid storage drivers. I tried moving the hard drives to I think the Asrock? or some other vendors controller but it didn't make a difference. EDIT: I was under the impression that the intel drivers were better than the Microsoft stock drivers, is it worth trying to revert...

Fresh install. I installed 8.0 and then upgraded to 8.1

Fast boot is enabled. My GPU is a PNY GTX 770

I have 2 Hyper X 3K Kingston 120GB SSDs. I have one in my desktop and one in laptop. The boot time in my laptop is very fast with windows 8.1 ( Quick video demo www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pEtIvgHDhg) However using the same SSD in my desktop which I just upgraded to a 4770k a few days ago boots...

Yes

I used to do this back in high school in the computer lab, Worked fine just copying the game to the flash drive and running the exe

Agree, I love my Sager , its a beast, too. :)

What. The. Hell?

Cause I always enter these hoping for a card

I LOVE my Intellimouse Explorer 3.0. Fits great in my hand. I like it wayyy more than the Razer mice I've used.

You can kill people through windshields as well

RMA? Have you tried different drivers?

Sorry for the late update, we were busy but I booted a a live linux CD and its the exact same so it is indeed a hardware issue. Thanks for the help

I wasn't aware anyone used it

Opening the laptop is the last resort, rather not void any warranties. I'll have her try a live linux CD

Yeah, we checked that. It didn't come with any software, we installed the software on their site in a hope of fixing it. All the settings are on default

My friend has a Sony VAIO VPCEH14FM. I'm out of ideas on how to fix the issue. Basically her camera color is wrong. It looks like: We installed the software Sony has on their site and tried different versions of Skype, and I forgot what else. Anyone know whats going on? The...

Does Mint have a alternative text based installer? I know some distros do and those tend to work better for older computers in my experiences

I had that happen once, wait a bit and try again after get a new steam guard code (forgot how long it takes before they expire)

I use it at home and I love it

Now getting double referrals :D http://db.tt/yOQt0Kb

I know for a fact Starcraft II zooms in on 16:10
