Hey, I've been having problems with my internet for a long long time. Basically, it's inconsistent. When i test it at speedtest.net, it gives me 5 MBPS which is what i pay for, and 1 ms jitter and 80 ms latency, which is all good honestly. I also download at 500 kb/s most of the times. But...

Hi! I am planning on purchasing this baby right here. Beautiful isn't it? Can't wait to select turn v-sync off on all games and enjoy that smooth smooth screen. BUT, i'm in a dilemma! I can't decide between 1080p and 1440p. People say 1440p looks better, but is it really worth the sacrifice...

Hi, I was diagnosing a problem i was having with my computer that was annoying me a little. Basically, some things would take a little while to load, like a folder or whatever. So i made a SSD test to see if everything was all right. It isn't, the 4k read/write values are way down. So i...

My system has the 6.3.96000.17238 and apparently the latest one is 10.0.13 I have downloaded it but it keeps on failing to install. Any suggestions? My system specifications are in the signature. Here is the log file [12DC:12A8][2014-12-08T16:53:11]i001: Burn v3.7.1224.0, Windows v6.2 (Build...

Hi, I'm a newbie to overclocking, and i have been reading some guides on how to do it, and i finally decided to give it a shot. I did everything correctly, i assume, but the temperature is way too high for the H80i. I have overclocked it to 4.5@ GHz, with an offset voltage of + 0.025 CPU pll...

Bad title, but what i'm really asking is, if you were given a computer filled with viruses and important information, so you can't just format, what would you do to clean the computer and have 100% guarantee that you removed all of the viruses?

I noticed that when i manually set my memory to 2133 mhz (as instructed by gskill, since my memory is 2133 but if i don't change it there it will be 1600), my cpu temps go like 5-8 ºC higher. Is this normal? Is there a correlation between ram performance and cpu heat?

Hi, I'm having issues installing the 5 following updates: KB2961072 KB2973201 KB2973351 KB2962872 KB2971203 All of them have the "800F0922" error. I have tried running the windows update troubleshooter, installing them individually, but whenever i restart the computer to complete those...

Hi, I might have done something very very stupid. Well, whenever i had a problem with permissions, if i used the take ownership context menu option, it would allow me to do whatever i wanted with the file. So i figured it would be a good idea to take ownership of both Program Files folders, my...

Simple, list a tweak you used to think was great but then discovered it was harmful. Like using registry cleaners, setting page file to zero, that kind of stuff. I'll start: I used to disable page file because i thought it would use my ram instead. Also, i used to disable QOS to improve my...

Hi, I have been having problems with my internet being too slow / some packet loss. I want to know if the stats i posted below are good or bad, since i have no idea on how to grade them. Thanks in advance, Alex.

Hi, I've been having a weird icon bug for some time now, and i was hoping it would fix on it's own, but no luck. So, sometimes, some icons simply disappear, as shown in the picture below, and it takes some time to load everything, like 1 minute. All of the files shown in the picture below were...

Hi, I had been having problems with Lineage 2 crashing and having white lines on the screen when it did, but i didn't pay too much attention to it since i thought that was the game's fault. Well, yesterday i was playing another game, and it crashed too, and not only that, the computer shutdown...

Hi, Recently, my UPS stopped working for unknown reasons, so while i sent it to repair, my computer had no backup power. Then, there was a storm here that made the lights flicker in a way that my computer shut down abruptly. Not only that, for 5 seconds it turned on and off really quickly. I...

Hi, Recently i have tried using D3DOverrider in skyrim, but it seems that if i try to run it as windows 7 compatibility mode, it forces the game to run windowed (not aero windowed, but basic mode). I have tried changing the game's settings, pressing alt enter, ctrl enter, windows key F, nothing...

Hi, I have tried to install D3D Overrider on my computer, however when i open it, the mouse icon shows as working but then nothing happens. The program won't open, however the process is there in task manager. I have tried running it in compatibility mode for windows 7 and as administrator...

So for some reason, windows 8 thought it would be funny to change my user name to Al Ex instead of Alex, AND since you can't have space on the address bar, the folder ended up calling Al. This annoyed me a lot more than it should have, because i have tried changing the user name through control...

Hey, i was wondering if it is still too soon to start trying out Windows 8. I used windows 7 beta without any problems, because it was ready but needed a little polishing. Are games compatible with it? Are there any downsides? From what i could see, the UI changed a lot. It looks like a smart...
