    Screen angle turns off laptop? o_O

    Thanks. I just wanted to confirm I'm understanding this, I'm more of a software guy. Are you saying that one of the cables going to the monitor (or to the power control) is touching another component when the screen moves and shorting out the laptop? Could I fix this by opening it up and...

    Screen angle turns off laptop? o_O

    Hello all, I've got an Asus UL30A-X5 that has been working absolutely wonderfully. However, a few weeks ago I was cleaning and flung my bedsheets over my head without realizing that my laptop was on them. It fell to the floor and the casing cracked at the hinge between the laptop body and the...

    Is my GTX 285 fried? (boot looks strange)

    I did not. Thank you all for your help. I ended up finding a great deal and bought myself a GTX 660 Ti for about $200. I couldn't pass it up :).

    Is my GTX 285 fried? (boot looks strange)

    Is my GTX 285 fried? (boot looks strange)

    Card replacement is the only way? Yeah, I don't think that's the problem :(. I have a very old GeForce 6600 that I borrowed that I'm using as my temporary graphics card and it's not showing any of these issues.

    Is my GTX 285 fried? (boot looks strange)

    Hello all. I've had an EVGA GTX 285 for a few years now, and it's consistently been running hot. Far too hot for what it was doing. It would regularly hit 80 degrees on just playing League of Legends, which isn't a very demanding game from what I understand. One day it just up and quit. My...

    What happened to DDR3 prices?

    I'm a bit confused. In June I bought 12 gigs of triple channel DDR3 RAM (1600 Mhz, 7-7-7-20) for $180. Now 6 gb would cost as much? I don't get it I came here reading all the threads and was wondering why nobody chose these particular sticks before I noticed the price jumped up to $150. Is...
