My Asus DVD drive was working perfectly fine for 3 years and recently has stopped functioning after formatting my HDD and doing a clean install of Windows 7. Windows 7 installed fine with the disc that I had but shortly after installing it, my DVD drive gradually stopped functioning. First I...

I cloned my old Western Digital 500GB HDD to a new 1TB Western Digital HDD and am now videos stutter every few minutes when I play them on my computer. The old HDD is out of my PC and I am only using the new HDD. Windows 7 boots fine and I have tested several programs and they work fine. I...

The case I'm using is a Gateway dx4710-07 case. The dimensions are 16.1 x 7.0 x 17.25-in (H x W x D). My motherboard is 9.6 x 9.6in and takes up the entire space where the motherboard sits so I guess I could say those are the dimensions of the interior of my case. Another problem with space...

I have an mATX case and I plan I getting the ASUS z97m-plus lga 1150 mATX motherboard. I will be pairing it with the intel g3258 processor and will need a decent cooler that will fit in my case and motherboard for overclocking. I have measured how much space I have on my current motherboard...

Never mind, I figured out by measuring the interior that my case is an mATX case.

I have the Gateway DX4710-07 desktop and I think it is an ATX case but I'm not totally sure. I am getting the intel g3258 processor and want to combine it with an ATX motherboard. The dimensions of my case are 16.1 x 7.0 x 17.25-in (H x W x D). I also plan on getting an aftermarket cooler...

I was going to get a cheap $45 micro atx motherboard to overclock on but am concerned about an aftermarket cooler being able to fit on the motherboard. Anyone using a cheap micro atx board to overclock the g3258 with an aftermarket cooler? I'll also note that my case is a gateway midtower case...

I am planning on getting the intel g3258 processor but am not sure which motherboard to get. There are some cheaper boards that you can overclock this processor on such as the MSI H81M-P33 but is this board both safe and good to use for overclocking or would I be better off going with a z97 board?

I am upgrading an older computer to be able to run the Dolphin (Wii and gamecube) and PCSX2 emulators. I have read that the intel g3258 processor is very good for this when overclocked. I want to go with this processor because is is only $70 but I also want to know how much money I need to...

The ambient light is pretty good. There are three sets of fluorescent lights in my acoustic panel ceiling. The fluorescent lights have always helped a lot. Typically I leave all three sets on but with my Gateway desktop I sometimes find that only leaving two sets on helps me see the screen...

I was previously using a vga cable but now am using a DVI cable and the DVI cable has made no difference.

I don't have access to another monitor to test with my desktop but my dad has an apple laptop and an imac and the image looks fine to me on those. I want to note again that I have no problems with the image on the windows laptop that I use.

I wear glasses and had an eye test recently and my eyes are fine.

I recently upgraded from integrated graphics to a Radeon HD 7750 card in my desktop because I have been experiencing eye strain with my monitor and it doesn't matter what I set the brightness and contrast at. Here are my system specs: Computer: Gateway Desktop 4710-07 PSU -Rosewill Capstone...
