I have an HP Omen 2019, and the power cable and battery pack, but the power cable (the top cable) is a bit short. I was wondering if: (1) I could use a Power Extension Cable - IEC C13 to C14 between the top cable and the battery pack to extend the length. (2) Alternatively, I can purchase a...

I'm due for an upgrade as I bought my last gaming computer nearly 13 years ago (specs in my signature). It runs surprisingly 'well', but due to lack of video card driver support I'm getting random CTDs or just black screens which force restarts. So I now want a clean mobile setup i.e. a laptop...

Today suddenly out of the blue whilst I was playing Wasteland 2 the screen froze. I couldn't bring up task manager or do anything; the computer was totally unresponsive. The sound kept on playing though. Had to manually press the reset button but this kept happening when I tried to play the...

I've always formatted my hard drive through Windows - but someone told me there are tools you can use to wipe out everything which may be better than the Windows standard way. 1. Is this true? 2. What could I use? I'm looking for something as straightforward as it is when you format the...

Hi all, Firstly, I went through the sticky on troubleshooting and downloaded 3 programs: CPU-Z, GPU-Z and HD Tune 2.55. My computer is 5 years old and I've never had this problem before. Specs are in my signature. In the last couple of weeks I've been noticing the following issues: - When...

My choice is between these two 32" TVs: http://www.doneo.com.mt/Product.aspx?prodID=2099&MainID=1 Or http://m.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/television/led-tv/UE32ES5500KXXU They seem exactly alike. Which one should I go for? They're the only ones within my budget. I'll be...

I've just got myself a tablet. Any recommended apps for it? It runs on jelly bean 4.1. I'm also looking for useful widgets (especially a weather widget - I've looked at the top apps and none of them seem to have a clean weather widget). Thanks!

So, I decided between either the Asus Transformer TF 101, or the Asus Transformer TF300T. I can get the TF 101 (16gb) + dock for €475. I can get the TF 300 (32gb) + dock for €595, which is expensive. I've just went to the store and asked them to notify me when the 16gb version...

I realise what all the downsides of a netbook are, but that's what I want because it's very small and portable, and I will only be using it to type notes during my lectures. I can no longer keep up using a pen. Or I could get a tablet instead, and one of those keyboards which can stick to a...

Apart from the usual Control Panel > Uninstall method, should I use some tool or delete some registry keys to ensure full removal of the old graphics drivers? I remember there used to be a tool (driver sweeper) but it's no longer avaialble. At least the version I have is several years old and...

So...could you guys share the apps you've got installed? The good ones. They could be anything from games to utilities, just try to give some information about what the app is about. I'll start with some recent ones I've installed: - Airdroid: You connect the mobile to your computer through...

I own an HTC Wildfire S, and I was wondering if it can be rooted? When I bought it a few months ago this wasn't possible. Can I know? And is there are an easy to follow guide on how to root it? I've never rooted a mobile phone before. Thank you. PS: I actually asked on an official forum some...

I'm looking to buy a touchscreen mobile or smartphone for my father for xmas, and I could use some pointers as to what I should look out for. It does not need to be high tech or anything like that, my father isn't tech savvy at all, but he enjoys using gadgets. Basically, if I were him, I'd be...

My mate has just bought a PS3, as well as a 42" Phillips LCD television, but we've got a small problem. We're playing Fifa Soccer 12 and we're experiencing mini stuttering and ball trails sometimes. It is not playing very smoothly as is to be expected from a console. On the other hand, we also...

I'm transferring a song but the sound volume comes out too low on my htc wildfire S. It's only some particular songs from a CD and I'm trying to find a way to increase their volume. Is it possible? PS: The songs that were already in my mobile + other songs like techno and dance songs' volume...

I'm looking to buy a UPS for christmas, however I have no idea what to look for, in terms of wattage, brands etc. I went to the local store and found these today: 1000VA Centralion Blazer Vista And a Titan VIsta 1000VA too. I believe the capacity of the UPS has to match the strength of the...

I'm looking to buy a good USB pendrive/flashdrive for my father, max capacity of around 32GB. I was wondering if the Corsair 32GB flashdrive is a good choice? There's also an Intenso 32GB flashdrive, and it's 30euros cheaper than the Corsair one (still costs 60euros though). Thanks.

I've got a mission to set up another set of anomaly scanners in the area around jupiter. I've went to Number 33 on this map: It's at the top. Anyway, I get to the market, yet I can find no anomaly in the area. As you can see here: I can't place the scanner, and there isn't even any...

I'm in need of an ergonomic, reliable wireless mouse. I currently own a wireless SEPIA keyboard and mouse, and whilst I haven't changed the keyboard batteries in 2 months, I've been changing a pair of batteries for my mouse every five friggin' days. So basically I want a mouse which does not...

Hey, I've ordered parts for a new computer which should arrive next week, and I was wondering what's the latest driver and catalyst for the 5850? I haven't upgraded anything in YEARS, so I'm well behind in the technology department. To give you an idea, I still thought the nVidia 8 series were...

I'm having problems with my 8.11 driver, I can't load up the catalyst control centre, I get a send/don't send error report. So I'm thinking of using an older driver, one which works with current games obviously. Suggestions? And link to said driver, since on the official ATI website I can only...

Over the past few months I sometimes get a BSOD telling me that the system had to shutdown to prevent any serious errors. I restarted and everything went on fine. This could have happened once in 1-2 weeks. Today I turned on the computer and I got a BSOD immediately after booting up. The...
