I think that will work for updating the BIOS, but doesn't the windows boot file need to be the only data on the drive?

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my old PC: i7 3770k Asrock Extreme4 Gen3 32GB DDR3 RAM Maxwell Titan GPU XFX XTR 650W PSU 500gb Samsung SSD I'm going to keep the parts in bold and upgrade to: Ryzen 5600x MSI B500M Mortar 32GB DDR4 RAM I understand that the motherboard can support AMD 5000...

The launch of FS2020 and Star Wards Squadrons this year, combined with lockdown, has decimated the entry/mid-level flight peripheral market. I'm a PC GamePass member and have downloaded FS2020, which looks great and I really want to get into it - but it's not the same with just a controller...

Thanks for the response. I know the full size mobo is a barrier at the moment. How about changing out the mobo and going down to micro ATX? Would changing the mobo cause any issues? Windows 7 is installed on the SDD currently.

Hello, In preparation for WoW Classic I am attempting to reincarnate my mid-range gaming PC I built in 2011/12: * ASrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Motherboard * Intel i5 2500k CPU * PowerColor Radeon 6950 GPU * 2x Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600mhz RAM * XFX XTR 650W-BEF PSU * Antec Kuhler H2O 620 CPU...

Dragon Age! I can only speak for the first one as that's the only title I've played, but yeah - pretty much what you've explained.

I'm personally looking for a good CPU benchmarking application, but I've noticed the OP in the sticky was last updated in 2009... What's the consensus these days on good software?

I've had my HP LP2475W 1200p monitor for 4-5 years, it's got 5397 backlight hours! Yeesh. It's developed this pixely red patch in the center right of the panel. It's not completely red, but more seems like every few pixels are stuck red in a uniform pattern which fades as it moves out from...

Should be picking this up soon. Always been a FF fan and am craving an MMO right now. Any tips for a new guy?

Thanks for the suggestions. I did play Rift for a few months after it launched but couldn't get into it and found it far too similar to WoW. Does FF14 come with a free month? I think I'll give it a try as it's so cheap.

I've decided to get into one of the above MMOs. I played WoW for several years, and last year tried to get into TERA. I've always been a fan of the FF series and never played GW1. I don't have as much time to put into gaming as I did in my WoW days so I'm looking for the title that suits...

Unfortunately you can spec the above laptop identically with a competitor computer specialist using the same Clevo chassis and it comes out cheaper.

I'll be sure to check it everyday. I've found a well known brick and mortar shop whose website offers some good savings on laptops and ultrabooks, however hardly any of them are 1080p.

Unfortunately none of the Inspirons in the Outlet are 1080p.

I will do some light gaming, but nothing hardcore - I have a desktop for that. I will probably only play Kerbal Space Program if I'm honest... I want designated graphics in case I do find myself gaming in the future on it. I'm open to the idea of discreet, I guess..

I'm looking to spend under £1000 on a laptop with the following specs: 15" screen, 1080p is a must, 3rd gen i5 or i7, designated graphics. The Dell Inspiron 15 SE and the XPS 15 both fit the bill, but are there any other competing laptops from other makes?

I've got the official 360 wireless PC controller, but it doesn't work in San Andreas (Steam version). It's worked in GTA4 and other games, but not SA. The in-game settings seem to have all the buttons mapped, but nothing happens... What can be done?

Shouldn't 920/1350 for a 6950@ 1174mv be enough? Googling around it seems quite a sensible OC.

I'm getting what seems like a standard "not enough power" GPU lockup, followed by loads of desktop flickering and eventually coming back in every game I play. I've got an Asus 6950 currently at 920/1350. I've tried bringing down the clocks to stock and that does solve the issue, but what's...
