omg that worked - thanks so much! you just saved me from buying an external dvd rw drive lol. i ended up using NTFS and using the settings you provided, then hit F12 to boot menu, selected HDD and it showed 4 drives, 1 of which was my usb drive. This wasn't working previously when using FAT32 -...

what options should i select when creating the bootable usb thumb drive from Rufus? defaults?

Hi All, I'm trying to do a clean install of windows 10 (specs in signature). I upgraded my PC already using the free upgrade from win 8.1 to win 10. I created a win10 bootable usb drive using the MediaCreationToolx64 tool from microsoft. I have a Kingston DataTraveler usb thumb drive...

i've tried the back USB ports where my mobo is, and i've tried my front case USB ports (which are connected to my mobo). no improvement

at first, i used plug and play drivers from windows. then i tried upgrading to newest drivers from their website, same results. i never tried the one that came with the CD (i threw it away).

Hi everyone, I recently purchased this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833315091 Since it was cheap and it had awesome reviews. I needed it for my desktop (specs in sig), however it is VERY slow. I ran several speed tests to see if i could find the issue, but i'm...

just got this to replace my older 2.1 promedia that recently broke. the new subwoofer is significantly lighter, but overall it sounds the same to me. however, one annoying thing that they didn't seem to have fixed is the loose pre-amp connection. anyone have similar issues? from time to time i...

not sure what a dust cap is, but i googled it and it looks like something in the speakers? but it's my woofer that is damaged, is there something similar in my woofer? never opened my woofer before.

yes same level of bass, but the more bass, the more crackling noises coming directly from the woofer. and i assume you mean woofer is blown? the speakers are fine. if i turn the subwoofer knob all the way to min, there will be no bass and no crackling noises. but once i turn up the woofer knob...

So my roommate decided to crank up some music using my speakers 1 night (subwoofer turned up to maybe 70-80% and main volume turned up to around the same levels 70-80% on the turn knob) The day after, I noticed crackling noises coming from my subwoofer even on low settings. 2 questions: 1)...

Good idea, not sure why I didn't think of that earlier. Just tried it, and same blue screen problem. Can't boot off windows 7 dvd without blue screening on another PC with this SSD connected. I upgraded the firmware, same result. Time to RMA it :mad:

I think I might have found the culprit, it is my Crucial M4 SSD - After I unplugged it, I was able to get past the "Starting Windows" animation screen. After plugging back in, same blue screen.

Hi All, Lately, my computer (specs in sig, no OC) has been freezing once or twice a day. I would need to restart it and everything will be good for rest of the day. This started happening for about 1-2 weeks. Today, the same thing happened, except now I can't boot into windows without a blue...

where was this deal on slickdeals?! sad i missed it

found the issue... appears to be my video card... i borrowed an old video card and swapped it out. haven't had issues since. RMA'ed the sucker.

...

it's so hard to troubleshoot because i can't reproduce it on the spot. i have my suspicion in my vid card as well, but not sure how to test without another vid card. it was a replacement card from evga

oops i forgot to mention i'm running stock speeds and i've ran memtest for the ram already, they all passed. though i didn't run it for like days. i just ran it for like 24 hours. i've also gone down to 2 sticks of ram just incase.

specs in my sig. So I've been having issues with my computer for the past few months. I get random freezes a few times a week, but I just live with it. However today, I thought my computer was completely done. After a few consecutive freezes (freeze after booting into windows), my computer...

might just be pure coincidence, but i went from rarely getting legendary/set items to getting a legendary sword and 2 set items yesterday farming A3, granted they were mostly trash, i've never gotten a set item before EVER and i've logged about 200 hours total, but last night, 2 in 1 run!

this is the build i currently use, works wonders if you stack crit dmg + crit chance: hydra (venom), diamond skin (crystal), force weapon, force armor. primary - celestral orb, secondary - blizzard with chance to freeze enemy. see a pack of enemys, drop hydra, then 1 blizzard will snare/freeze...

my dell 2407 is about 6-7 years old as well, still going strong, don't see a reason to upgrade

can someone post patch notes for those of us at work? :D

any suggestions for a minimalistic clean rainlendar skin? trying to look for a metro style skin, but cannot find. trying to stay away from rainmeter also

should I put in all 4 sticks and run memtest, or do i need only have 1 stick installed to test them individually?

Thanks, I will try MemTest first - didn't think of that. So far i've been running much longer than I have been this morning using the other 2 mem channels.

Need some help here. specs in sig (currently running stock speeds) I recently installed a new SSD. I reformatted and installed a fresh copy of win7 on it with ahci enabled through bios. I started OC'ing again (i was running stock speed for a while, but i used to run at 3.0 ghz stable...

what about the blacked out start menu icons? is that part of the omnimo theme, or separate? thx

Does anyone know how I can get this Line In setting to stick? I have it set at level "10" as you can see in the screenshot above, but after I restart my computer, it resets to the max 100 level which is annoying. I use this for my ps3 and I have to set it at 10 otherwise it's loud as...

I recently upgraded from a 8800GT to a GTX460 (free RMA upgrade woot!), after upgrading, I no longer get picture when I use Windows Media Center. I get audio, but no picture. I tried reinstalling the drivers for my tuner and my video card, but still does not work. Basically it's just a black...

Thanks I will give that I try. I also do gaming, not super heavy (LOTRO). At this point, after that memory management blue screen, I removed 2 of my 2GB sticks, seems to be running longer than I have been able to, might just be a coincidence though, who knows.

Thanks for the response. What makes you think it's specifically the PCIe slot?

Hey everyone, I need some help ID'ing a problem I have with my PC. Specs are in my signature. Everything right now is running at stock speeds. Recently, my computer has been "blacking out" randomly. What I mean is that, the screen would basically just turn black and my monitor enters power...

ugh, looks like this solution doesn't work also. it seems that my dns settings get reset to "auto" after sometime, either a restart/sleep wake/reconnect vpn, one of those, not sure which yet, not consistent.

i don't really want to mess with the router since it is not my place though

yes that worked! i'm not connected to my work vpn right now and i'm posting this. hmmm now what? is it bad to leave my dns like this?

the apartment lease holder probably set it up, but my friend's laptop works perfectly fine. my ps3 works perfectly fine and my iphone browsing works fine, so i'm assuming it is something on my laptop that is causing the issue here's my ipconfig when my vpn isn't connected: C:\Documents and...

my DNS is set to auto. also my vpn is just a simple software install, no setup required. and as i said before, it worked fine at my previous location, that is, internet worked fine connected and not connected to the work vpn. route print with or without connected to vpn?
