    Windows 11 factory reset - doesn't meet system requirements

    The laptop is already running Windows 11, and in trying to do a clean install of it my girlfriend gets the "doesn't meet system requirements" problem. I can't do it myself and just had her use the typical Windows 11 installer, which doesn't work. Do I have to run her through Rufus and burning...

    Disable GPU throttling while gaming on AMD 480?

    My gpu downclocks for energy savings, which is fine until i game on it. I download the Crimson drivers with the UI and took off AMD Chill and everything that seemed like it would do that, but to no avail. I also put the computer in 'high performance' for the Windows energy plan and nothing yet...

    How to adjust output-specific equalizers in Windows 10?

    I've only recently migrated to W10 and I'm looking to turn my 3.5mm Realtek output down, because my sub is just overwhelming at stock levels. In W7 I think I used to just go through the Sound Devices and add a "effect" that was an equalizer from within Windows. Is there anything similar now? I...

    MSI x470/AMD 3600 temp fluctuations

    I'm using MSI Command Center to set a real basic cpu temp/fan speed plan. However my cpu temps will jump around in ~5-10c increments, cause my fan to fluctuate enough to be noticeable (the fans themselves aren't very loud, a few hundred RPM difference, but it dips above and then under a...

    Best HDD for multimedia storage?

    I was looking at various drives, and was wondering what the best drive for my situation would be. I only need a 4tb drive, and the only thing put on it will be various multimedia (various types of audio/video types.) Stability and longevity is my biggest concern, and I only stream within my...

    Problems with voltages (I think) AMD 290 and HD 7950

    I'm on W7 64 with a 750w corsair psu, MSI 970 Gaming, 8gb 1600 ram, an 8320e, and an AMD R9 290 (xfx core). I've never had problems with the card before, and a few weeks ago it started randomly black screening (sometimes during internet surfing, but almost always during a game, be it dota 2 or...

    Best midrange (~150) graphics card for casual gaming?

    My 290x just fried on me and I need a decent card to tie me over awhile till I fully upgrade. I play a lot of low-impact games that don't matter, but also play a few that're more taxing. Has to play well (~60fps avg) at med/high settings on most games at 1200p. I was looking at the 1050ti, and...

    Best keyboard and mouse for under $80 (total)

    I'm on quite a budget as my vehicle is deteriorating, but my mouse and keyboard are as well (both are generic, about 6 years old, low dpi non gaming mouse.) I'm looking to upgrade this next check, and have been all over newegg and the for sale threads here, but I'm not very knowledgeable on the...

    Windows 7 vs Windows 10, should I make the jump?

    I'm pretty stubborn when it comes to changing OS, because I've got a lot of editing software, games, etc., that take forever to reinstall from backups. I mostly am interested in the interface of 10, and whether anyone has experienced driver issues with the Radeon R9 series cards. I understand...
