    Looking to buy a GTX 970

    Hi all. I'm currently running a EVGA GTX 460 FTW. It's served me well, but with Fallout 4 coming it just won't cut it anymore. I've pretty much settled on a 970 as an upgrade. I'm looking for some guidance on which one to get. With so many different manufacturers and so many different options...

    Replacing a Secondary Hard Drive - Windows 8.1

    Thanks for the suggestions. I found a solution. Go to the Windows disk manager and delete the drive. That wipes it and removes whatever partition, bootloader file, etc... was causing Windows to choke.

    Hello all, So I have a 250GB system drive, and two storage drives. One is 500GB and one is 2TB. The 500GB is failing. So I replaced it. When the new drive is connected, the computer won't boot (gives a boot failure error and asks for the disc). When I reconnected the bad drive it booted...

    Upgrade Advice Request

    Thanks for the input guys. I'm really not that concerned with getting cutting edge stuff when I make these purchases. I'm not a serious bleeding-edge gamer or anything. I only make major upgrades every 4-5 years or when failures occur. If the PSU ends up being an issue, I'll replace it...

    Upgrade Advice Request

    Fair enough. The case is the Rosewill Challenger U3 (http://rosewill.com/products/1807/ProductDetail_Overview.htm) If I have to upgrade PSU, I will. I'll have to eventually anyway.

    Windows 8.1 BSOD - DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    No overclocking. Everything is running at stock speed. I'd read that it could be related to the AHCI driver, to which I cannot find an update for Windows 8.1. However, this computer has been running 8.1 since it came out with no issues until the other day. I'll keep digging. Any other ideas...

    That's true. I went with one that doesn't keep logs, but it's always possible. It's just another layer, not the end-all-be-all. Anyway, back on track...

    Buy DROID now ? Or wait for N-1 / Incredible on V ?

    I've had a Droid for a few months now and would recommend it. There are only a few things about it that bother me. The first is the keyboard. I like having the physical keyboard, but the top row of keys is a little cumbersome, particularly if you have larger hands. It is nice to have though...
