Okay, I will try that this weekend. I installed the HD Tune Pro software and it did not find any errors on all of my drives. I will also look at event viewer to see if that finds any issues. Thank you for the suggestions everyone.

Hello, I think I have a failing SSD but am not sure how to test or troubleshoot. When I start or restart my system, the D: drive (one of the WD Blue 1TB drives) behaves like it isn't turned on or ready for use. Windows explorer stops working for that drive but functions perfectly for my C: drive...

Okay, thank you. Motherboard manufactures wouldn't want a giant list of compatible memory modules with every version listed. Makes sense!

Hi guys, I'm putting together a list of components for new Ryzen-based pc. This will be my first pc build in about 8 years and have a question about motherboard memory compatibility and memory versions. I'm looking to pick up an MSI Gaming Pro Carbon X570 motherboard. Here is the list of...

The Local Group Policy Editor is not available for Win10 Home users, IIRC.

Just sent a PM.

This patch finally made the game playable for me. I can actually get a decent framerate on all the maps now.

BF4 is on sale right now at the Origin store. Base game is $30...digital deluxe is $35. Is the China Rising DLC worth the extra five bucks?

Beginner question here: Say I am playing a Marauder...do skill gems that are Red do more damage than Blue or Green? Do strength focused classes make better use of Red skills? I am playing in normal act 3 at the moment and find myself wanting to use spectral throw (green) instead of ground slam...

Just found this amulet...should I sell or keep it?

Here is my rig...still runs like a champ! Specs are in my sig... I've been using a Pinnacle bottle as a stand for my headset :)

Would Audiosurf fit your needs? The time required would be the length of the song you choose so it may work.

Here's a new pic of my 2 year old rocketfish pc :)

I <3 kar98k I play bf3 because there are more dynamics than just personal firearms (as in cod) & higher sound and video quality

SS from TF2...the soldier's username and what he's doing in the pic make it funny to me.

the quick brown fox jumps right over the lazy dog CM Storm Quickfire Rapid (mx blue) on USB

Yes I believe you do. I assume you lose any gear you followers had equipped as well.

Just got my quickfire rapid. I'm still getting used to typing on it but it has been great so far.

With the G500, there is a small button beneath the scroll wheel. This button changes the scroll mode to either the smooth roll or a click-click motion. Just fyi.

I'm building this pc for my friend's sister. By casual gaming I meant that this pc will not be running games more demanding than world of goo, sims, plants v zombies, or any game of that sort.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Casual gaming, web browsing, school work, email, ect. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Price needs to be below $500 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city...

I don't understand how people can say hats ruined TF2...hats don't affect gameplay in any way. I could understand; however, if you said the weapon unlocks changed the game. I sometimes feel the same way...the lasers are pretty ridiculous. Trading in TF2 never really interested me. I've only...

Bring up the console by hitting the "~" key in game. Type into the console: fov n (Where n is the fov number you want) The default number is somewhere between 60 and 70. Many people like the fov to be closer to 80 and 90. I believe doing this will make the setting stick. Edit: Beat to it by...

Any other suggestions? I may use just about every one of your suggestions Danny Bui. :D The only one that I"m not sure on is the video card. I'll have to see how much money is left over after shipping is calculated in.

Hey guys, I'm looking to build a budget gaming rig for my brother. I already put together a build that I think will be a good start. I'm just looking for any suggestions you guys have. :) Thanks for the help! 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Mostly...

Diablo Team Fortress 2 Half Life series

Kk, thank you.

I need some help here. Do I install the 11.5 drivers and then install the hotfix afterwards....or do I just install the 11.5a hotfix?

I've had one 8800GT die....good thing I was using SLI and still had one card left! :)

Always compatible with my systems and never fail!

1. CoD MW2 and Black Ops (The first CoD games were great, but I don't understand the hype of the last two) 2. Halo series (Never thought the games were that great) 3. The Sims

I need to hear my games better because hearing your enemies is often more important than seeing your enemies. $10 walmart earbuds cannot accomplish that! :)

Aha! Yep, changing the folder options helped. The xrm.ms file was indeed hidden or was a protected system file. Thanks for the help!

Is there a certain way I have to search for it? Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

For the life of me, I cannot find the xrm.ms file on my acer laptop. I did a search for all xrm.ms files on my c:/ drive, and had lots of files found, but I can't find one that looks like the one I'm looking for. None of the files have the word "Acer" in the file name, but is that what I should...

Thank you very much for the writeup. I never knew any of this existed before today, so because of you're hard work, I now know more than I did before! :)

I know you have explained it as easy as possible, but I'm a little confused at the steps I need to take to get a clean install of windows the laptop I recently bought. I've never done or read anything like this, so this is all new information for me. Would it just be easier to contact Microsoft...
