Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy a laptop so I can do some application development on the go. Most of the programming will be C++ using VS 2012. Here are things I'm looking for: - 15" display, at least 1440 x 900 resolution - i5 - Good keyboard. I realize this is highly subjective, so...

My machine has been experiencing weird stability issues for almost a year now ( http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1648541 ). Since posting this thread, I've replaced the RAM and swapped out the video card to no avail. I work from home and lately it's gotten a lot worse, so I'm looking to...

I'm looking to set up a code repository that I can access from multiple machines within my home network, but not online. Right now I'm considering two options: 1) Setting up NAT on an external hard drive attached to this guy 2) Setting up a cheap, small form factor PC. Pros? Cons? Will...

A couple days ago, my machine started freezing after logging into Windows for a couple minutes. It completely locks up, can't launch task manager, etc. Sometimes the audio would continue playing for a couple seconds before stopping. Either way, it doesn't end up blue screening, it just stays...

Hi, I recently bought a Samsung 2333sw monitor and use it with my laptop as an extended desktop. However, my eyes start to get sore after using it for only a few minutes. I've tried playing with the brightness/contrast but that hasn't seemed to help. It's entirely possible that I'm sitting...

Hi, I'm running Windows XP on an older Macbook Pro (purchased in late 2007) and recently purchased a Samsung 2333sw monitor. Windows XP picks up the monitor fine and extends the desktop, but the option to set this monitor as primary is disabled. First question: Is there a way around this...

Hi, Recently I've been having trouble with my CD/DVD reader on my laptop. At one point, it was able to read all types of discs just fine, but lately it has only been reading DVDs. Whenever I insert a CD-ROM it doesn't see it at all. It doesn't even sound like its trying to read it. Could...
