    Am I out of luck?

    Well I installed my new 830 256GB SSD and my windows 8. Had to do the registry work around and once that was done windows activated fine after reboot.

    How to install Win 8 from an HD to an SSD Same PC

    I'm doing the same thing, SSD to SSD and I already have Windows 8 activated like you do. I'm just going to install on the bare drive. It probably will not activate but I did some searching and there is a registry work around you can do. Its the same thing MS does when you call in,they take...

    Am I out of luck?

    I think you could be right all along. I got a samsung 830 for a decent price as the 256gb model. The only reason I am over thinking is because most do it yourself don't have the integrated bios windows key in there. So I've been reading that the windows 8 upgrade media will be fine as long as a...

    Am I out of luck?

    I wont be installing on any other machines just the new hard drive. I'm not sure I kept the windows 7 key in case they ask me since I recently moved and I'm not sure where the cd with the key is, probably in some boxes. Should I format the 128gb SSD before I take it out the system and replace...

    Am I out of luck?

    I've heard about cloning the SSD but I'm not sure how good that is performance wise. I would think a new install would be better. Weird thing is I have not found anyone who has done this. There's people that have upgraded to windows 8 and wondered if they could use their upgrade copy to put on a...

    Am I out of luck?

    I just put windows 8 on my pc. Its on my 128gb SSD. I upgraded windows 7, paid 40 bucks and that is how I got it on my computer now. Thing is, I just bought a larger SSD as I need more space with all my programs. Do I need to pay 40 bucks again? I have a bootable usb of the media the upgrade...

    msi gtx lightning problems

    Did they say the voltage is locked? I have read threads were MSI has not built the functionality yet into after burner to allow unlocking the voltage one time. The card you most likely got back might be refurbished.

    What am I expected to do?

    Yeh I am not sure why CS at newegg had me contact HIS in the first place or why they wanted a ticket number from HIS to prove defectiveness. They told me that there would be a restocking fee if I just returned the card and it was not found defective. Good thing I was able to contact Newegg CS...

    What am I expected to do?

    Hmm it does not say Ghz edition, just OC. Also some reviews say coil whine which is something I can't tolerate, sorry maybe its just me but the card I had squeeled like a piggy. The card is 16"? I took out hard drive bays in my NZXT 410 dunno if that would fit still.

    What am I expected to do?

    Forget calling, they never answer plus I am usually at work when there is a reasonable time to call. I just used the email or chat section. I guess it depends who you get really. I shipped the card today. Hope nothing else is wrong from here and will be spending couple hours deciding what to go...

    What am I expected to do?

    The reason why they were asking me to prove troubleshooting with the MFC was because maybe a lot of people in the beginning returned cards. And many Reps have no idea what you mean anyway. The ones that say let me look into this for you, not just quickly respond after you say something, are the...

    What am I expected to do?

    Well it took a while with contacting a few Newegg Reps. I had to first contact HIS and deal with non native English speakers which was tough. Then HIS wanted me to ship it to China..ok no thanks. I don't even think they understood when I said Newegg needs a ticket number proving I troubleshooted...

    What am I expected to do?

    I've checked that one out. I'm only considering the 7970 GE Vapor X because of the premium components that the toxic edition has. Which basically means no coil whine.
