    What broke? Need a little guidance...

    Thanks for the info. It’s not on the carpet, it’s on a raised stand. There’s space all the way around it and it has good airflow. Can’t check the temps right now as I’m not getting Windows to even recognize that it’s there. This room is somewhat sealed off from the rest of the house, so the...

    Two problems, I don't know what to do.

    First, my desktop pc takes forever to load Windows. I ran the memory test and it didn't find any issues. It's been loading for over 30 minutes now. Second, I transplanted the desktop into a smaller case. I plugged everything back in where it was, and my 2tb storage drive is not showing up...

    I'm very conflicted, my wife is convinced I need a laptop.

    I still have my desktop. I'm actually using the larger monitor as a dual screen setup for iRacing with the laptop. The desktop still performs very well, even though I built it in '09. But I needed to be able to get away from the desk itself. For, it has all my storage and will be used as a...

    Bluetooth True Wireless and gaming

    I've been looking for a set of TWS earbuds for gaming, but I've seen in the comment on some that there may be a latency issue. Does anybody here use them? Any issues? Which ones are you using? I'm not looking for anything pricey, just something that will have decent sound quality. Thanks.

    https://www.newegg.com/p/2WC-000C-01BA9?Item=9SIAA0SBA43702 Much more than I wanted to spend, but it has everything I wanted/needed. So far I'm very pleased with it, although I still have adjustment period. I have a cheaper/slower laptop that I keep in the workshop, but that's hardly used and...

    I want to set my old pc up for storage

    After tooling around with it I think I have a completely different problem altogether. I can't find the desktop pc on the network from the laptop. This seems to tie into some other issues I've had with the desktop. The desktop it wired to the router, everything else is wireless. I can't even...

    I'm very conflicted, my wife is convinced I need a laptop.

    Coffee table, kitchen, deck, etc. I do a ton of photo editing and some video as well and she doesn't like it that I'm tied to my desk. That said, I did raise my budget a bit and found my new laptop. Using it now actually.

    I want to set my old pc up for storage

    I have my old pc with my pictures and videos on it, and a new laptop that I'm going to be using full time now. I'd like to be able to access the older pc whenever I want to access the media on it, and to move new stuff to it when needed. I see that Windows 10 no longer makes it easy to do that...

    Looking for suitable case

    The case I have right now is just too big and bulky. I'm looking to switch to a laptop, and retire my former gaming rig to a storage rig. I need the smallest case I can to fit an MSI B85M-G43 motherboard and four or more hard drives.

    I'm very conflicted, my wife is convinced I need a laptop.

    I need a gaming laptop, or so my wife thinks. She wants me to get away from my desk. I found this, which pretty much has what I need it to have. I feel like I can do better, so I'm asking you. https://www.newegg.com/p/2WC-000C-01BB5?Item=9SIAA0SBA43708 I'll be gaming and doing video/photo...

    Printing problems

    Right place? Move if needed I guess. I have an HP 6962 that has been a thorn in my side. First it won't stay connected. (That may be rooted in my garbage AT&T Gateway) When I am connected and I try to print, I get an error message that it won't print. No code. When I open the printer queue...

    Yes. It was plugged in when she first had the problem, and I unplugged it to move it over to my desk to work on it.

    Lenovo WiFi Issues

    I don't know if this belongs in this forum or not. I can't tell if it's a hardware issue or a software issue. My wife has a Lenovo Z70 laptop with an Atheros QCA61x4 wireless adapter. Her connection speed dropped to 8mbps while all of our other devices, wired or wifi, are recording speeds of at...

    Latest Win10 update and command prompt box.

    I installed the latest update for Windows 10 the other day, and now at random time the command prompt window will come up. It doesn't stay up, but it will flash on the screen for a split second and disappear. I can't see what it's doing, it flashes by that fast. I can't even see for sure that is...

    Looking for a specific type of plugin for a Wordpress setup

    I have been using Wordpress now for six years. I'm gotten rather used to it. I can usually find plugins that serve my purpose. Thanks for the info though.

    Looking for a specific type of plugin for a Wordpress setup

    Done! And thank you. I ended up using CFormsII and creating a submission form the way I wanted it. In the end it was much easier than the other options I had found.

    Crashplan 1TB limit?

    I'm having an issue that is really bothering me. I'm running Crashplan to backup roughly 3TB of data, most of which being my RAW photos. According to tech support, the software is designed to stop at 1TB. The workaround that they gave me, was to enter "java mx 2560, deauthorize, restart" into...

    The Division - officially announced for PC!

    So is this game geared at the hardcore gamer? During the week I can hardly ever game with my work schedule, am I going to be at a huge disadvantage if I can't play often? What's the deal with Season Passes? Will I need them right away? How much of a solo game will I be able to play, or will...

    Can't upgrade to Win10?

    So I finally decide to pull the trigger on the upgrade from Win7, I click on the icon that's been bugging me for ages, and a window pops up that says "Please Wait". The window disappears and nothing happens. What the hell? I restarted and the same thing happens.

    Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

    Big fan of D1 back in the day. How is the gameplay different from that? I was a solo player, occasionally playing with a friend, is the solo game worth it? Is there a solo friendly game?

    Looking for a home storage solution

    I'm starting to get to the point where I need a new solution for my home storage needs. I'm a racing photographer, and I save all of my RAW files. I currently have about 3TB in need of backing up, and I will probably be adding at least another TB by the end of the summer. Cloud services, to...

    I'm torn.... Have questions related to 7 vs 10

    The way I understand it, W10 will be free for one year to 7/8.1 users, so I decided I'll hang with 7 for now.Maybe come spring time they'll have all the initial bugs worked out and I'll put it on the laptop first. Thanks for the info/advice.

    I'm torn.... Have questions related to 7 vs 10

    I just bought a new SSD to replace the HDD in my desktop. Before I install it, I need to get some info. I'm currently running Win 7 SP1 on my desktop, and I installed Win10 preview on my laptop. I'm used to 7, been running it for a couple of years now. I could just do a clean install of 7...

    Grand Theft Auto V

    That's not even the issue though. There was a point when the character was just running around on the beach, I wasn't even touching the keyboard. There have been several instances where I'd be driving and turn, takes my finger off the button, and the car would continue to turn, even if I tried...

    Grand Theft Auto V

    Anybody else having issues with keyboard controls? Seems like alot of the time I don't have control, almost as if the keys are sticky, but they're not. For instance, make a turn, take your finger off the key, and it keeps turning. At one point I lost control for a good 45sec to a minute.
