    THANK YOU times a million :) OMG, screen has turned on with the BIOS has been reset message! Interesting enough, the DVI to HDMI did not work but the HDMI to HDMI cord works.

    Computer restarts after 10 seconds

    I live next to a Fry's. I was thinking of letting them test out what's wrong. I have never had anyone else look at my computer for repairs as I have done everything myself since I have seen prices from Best Buy being outrageous. I don't know about Fry's but so far, they have won my approval for...

    Computer restarts after 10 seconds

    Yes I have. I re-seated it but the power turning off then immediately restarting is no longer an issue. It was just restarting within the first 10 seconds and it continued that loop until I turned off the computer which is usually after the 3rd restart then waited a few seconds to try it again...

    Computer restarts after 10 seconds

    I reset the ram, then tried to start it in each of the 4 spots. I found my screwdriver and uninstalled the GFX card and attempted the integrated GFX HDMI and DVI. I tested the monitor on my laptop and the monitor works fine. I tried pulling out the CMOS battery and resetting it. All the...

    Is this an upgrade?

    What I'm wondering is, if I did only have a budget of $300-$400, a purchase of 8GB of RAM and SSD between 128-256GB would range me from $200-$300 so I could replace those parts on my current laptop. The other option is I could try to sell my current laptop to offset buying the i5 laptop and...

    Is this an upgrade?

    The database is local on the laptop. The software populates the database actively. I can always upgrade RAM relatively cheap. As far as GPU, I guess integrated is only option in this price range so I May have to cough up more money

    Is this an upgrade?

    I travel extensively so I'm constantly on my laptop for online poker. Currently, I have a HP Pavillion g7-1075dx laptop. I have some tech background but laptops are a bit foreign to me. I play 9 tables of online poker on PokerStars with HoldEm Manager 2 with a standard HUD. I lag constantly. I...

    Multiple modems at a home?

    Unfortunately, it's a leased 3,500+ SQ ft house with roommates so running a line will be about 50+ feet from the modem to my room. They wouldn't appreciate a long line running from downstairs to upstairs and I can't drill a hole through the house. I'm thinking powerlining maybe an option?
