What is Hardocp's opinion of this monitor? Good for gaming? Good for spreadsheets? Good for movies? Browsing the web? I know it sounds counter-intutive, but I almost think 32" might be a little too big for a desk. Although, I've done the dual monitor thing for years and never really...

Am I the only one who gets lock ups everytime they open the control panel? I've never ever encountered a problem with their drivers until about a year or two ago. I'm not an avid gamer, so I don't obsess much over drivers and you can see from my video card choice that it's not a critical...

I can't tell whether it's my monitor or my video card. I'm guessing it's the monitor, but I just want some opinions. My fan on my video card doesn't seem to work, but I've never had a problem with overheating. I have an arctic cooling contraption installed on it, so it's not the default. I...

I try to shut down the computer. But then it turns back on again. It powers off fully, then a moment later it's as if some ghost presses the power button. I've checked the power settings, but I can't find anything related. Is there some BIOS switch somewhere that does this? And who would...

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T400, which is a pretty standard "old school" thinkpad. I'm happy with the performance, but the resolution just sucks. It's like 1300x900 or so, and I want 1920x1080. Is there a compatible screen available somewhere? The closest I've found to this information is this...

Are there any decent email clients? Outlook seems to have too many bugs and annoyances.

I have a habit of installing chipset drivers from either the chipset manufacturer or motherboard manufacturers website. But they all seem to not work very well. It turned out that my motherboard blew up, so I got a new one. After I installed all my drivers Win10 gave me a BSOD and it was only...

Is there a such thing as an application that tells you what component is broken? My computer has been randomly crashing and I'm too lazy to swap out components. It just seems to me that someone somewhere would have concocted such an application.

How do I upload to an ipod without itunes? Preferably something that is very low in resources. It's a fairly recent ipod and the foobar plugin doesn't work with it. Thanks.

Is this possible? Or am I just sool? I have ipod nano. I'm not sure which version. It's circa 2013-2015. It's rectangular. On the back it say Model A1446.

How would it compare versus a four monitor workstation? Has anyone used it for this purpose?

Does it even still exist? Maybe it's on some server in the dark deep corners of the innerwebs? Is it possible to retrieve them? Assuming I remember the password...

As the title says, I'm looking for a highly portable laptop with ~14" screen, 16gb of ram and a trackpad. The rest of the spec don't matter much, so long as it isn't running an 8086 or something really old. The only thing I've found is the Carbon X1, but that's 1500$, so it's out of my price...

I keep getting this error anytime I try to play a short video on twitter. This happens with all the browsers I have installed. What codec pack do I need to install? Thanks.

I have a first batch Razer Naga and I've had a ton of quality issues with it. Right now the scroll button is sticky and doesn't function the way it should. I have a Diamondback and I used to have a Copperhead, both of those never had any issues. I'm just wondering if Razer had just gone...

Sometimes when I plug in a usb device, it doesn't matter what is is (a smart phone, mp3 player, hard drive, whatever), my computer hard resets. Why does it do this? Thanks.

I have Sony Xperia C5 Ultra (E5553) and I've tried a few methods and they've all failed. I've tried kingroot, kingo root(I'd warn against that one since it appeared to have installed other applications on my phone without telling me, so maybe my problems are bigger, but whatever) and towelroot...

Is there a way to force websites' menubars to stay at the top? Or is there a more accurate name for this monstrosity? What I mean by menu bars, go to yahoo.com and scroll down. You will notice that the top of the page follows you no matter how far you scroll. This is the most irritating...

I'm just kind of wondering whether I should just buy more RAM, which would probably entail a complete overhaul or upgrade to Win10?

I don't know how to describe this properly, but here goes anyway. Every now and again the mouse cursor sticks or jitters in place. Like, I would move the mouse, but the cursor would stick in the same place, but jerk around within a 20 some odd pixel circle. It's sort of reminiscent of the old...

Has there been any studies that show the relevance between RPM and disk failure? My HD just blew up (not literally) and I'm in the market for a new one and I'm just wondering since speed is not a concern, would a 5200 RPM disk be more reliable?

It seems like in the past week or so I've gotten a few virus'/malware, when I haven't gotten any in years. I'm just wondering, if there was maybe like a recent outbreak of them or something? Or maybe I've just become complacent on security? I use MSE for my malware/virus remover/detector...

Is there a such thing as a pointer type device that works exactly like a mouse? I hate track pads and mice are awkward to use with a laptop and annoying to lug around. Ideally, I'd like small pen-drive sized device that uses whatever kind of sensor that does not rely on sliding over a flat...

Is it really necessary to restart your computer when updating Razer's drivers? I just clicked 'no thanks' and opened the configure panel manually and it seems to work fine. I mean, because maybe the old drivers are being used instead of the updated version.

So, I have two monitors, Viewsonic something or other and a Samsung t24c550. There is no problem with the Viewsonic. The issue is with the Samsung. I replaced my old DVI to VGA cable with an HDMI cable and now the monitor looks too sharp. Or rather, sort of like the it's using 8bit or...

I've batcave.net, which allows you to have a subdomain for free. Which is fine. I'm not trying to do anything fancy, just a blog to learn how to code. The problem is that I cannot use encryption. So, I use Microsoft Visual Studio and there is no SFTP option. I tried a FTP client, just as...

I'm Stalker: Clear Sky w/ complete mod and I'm seeing textures that should not be there. They sort of blink on and off during gameplay, usually when I'm moving around. I'm wonder, what are these? Also, I get game crashes when I set/cancel the option settings, but I'd rather fix the...

Maybe I've been out of the loop for a while, but just checking google the last version of Rivatuner was 2.24 which was released ten years ago or so. Anyway, my 260GTX just bit the dust and I'm 100% convinced it's because at some point rivatuner just wouldn't work with nvidia's drivers...

To make a long story short, I use multiple desktops and switch between them often. I also like to keep the taskbar hidden. Ok, so, when I switch to a desktop some applications "demand" attention and give me the "pop up" notification you see in the image below. I don't know what the technical...

You know that stupid pop up that says something like, 'your desktop configuration has changed Are you sure you want to keep it?' and then it gives you a choice between yes or no? How do you get rid of it? There's nothing more stupid then my computer asking me if I'm sure I want to do...

Doesn't everyone have HDMI ports on their monitors by now? I hardly ever upgrade my PC and I have them. I basically only upgrade when something breaks or some game/program won't run. But, I was nosing around the video card section of Newegg and noticed that only 'budget' video cards have...

I had firefox open with only three pages and it took up 500MBs of RAM?! What gives? I remember way way back in the day surfing the internet with Internet Explorer 5 with a 96MB RAM/225MHz PowerPC Mac and I had no problems. Of course, I didn't typically have as many webpages open at a time...

MX100: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148821 M500: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148695 All I see is that one is 512GB and the other is 480GB. So, what's the difference? Also, is there a website somewhere that will explain to me this...

I have a Samsung T24C550 and the display settings keep resetting to the default after 10 or 20 minutes or so. It's getting quite tedious constantly setting it the way I like it as it is too bright for me on default. I'm talking about brightness/contrast things like that, in case that wasn't...

Is getting 100 spams a week normal? Or is that way above average? Or below? I'm just curious what the normal amount of spam people get.

http://www.advancedbackgroundchecks.com/email.aspx On a lark, I googled my alternate email address and my old address pops up. This email was supposed to be for anonymous internet accounts. But I guess it isn't so anonymous. There's some opt out sheet that I can mail in there to have them...

When are there going to be laptops that support 64GBs of RAM? 2015 maybe?

Anytime I try to access my files on my linux machine I this pop up saying that 'windows cannot access share' when I click 'diagnose' it fails to fix the issue and says, 'the remote device or resource won't accept the connection.' I had this issue with Windows 7, but the diagnostics fixed it...

The only clue is it say part number: aaa-ati-002-k06 It also says, "LOTES" It is a bendable "PCB." I don't think that's the technical term, but I don't know the technical term. I got it with either my GTX 260 or the Radeon 4800 series....I think. The Radeon was a contemporary of the GTX...

I'm considering upgrading because I don't have enough RAM. I want to future proof my system as much as possible. I know that there must be server boards that can do 128+ GB of RAM, but a server board isn't what I'm looking for. Most high end boards (that I've come across) have a maximum...
