My computer started installing windows updates (running windows 8.1), and turned off. It never came back on. Said something about the BCD being corrupt. Well I went into the Bios and noticed "UEFI" was selected as the 1st boot device. I went and changed it to the HD my OS is on, and now...

I have two Hard drives, a WD 2TB, and a Seagate 500Gb. During a fresh win7 install, BOTH drives showed up. After 7 installed, I don't see the drive in My Computer. I checked "disk management" and it's not there either. What's the prob?

The zalman is larger though?

AMD 8 Core cpu on the way. I didn't realize how beefy the heatsink is. As oversight on my part, I bought a Zalman cooler. Thing is, it says MAX TDP 95 watts. My cpu is 125, will this work, or did I waste my money. Here is the amd heatsink. So IF the zalman will work, will it...

I have a gigabyte EP43-UD3L Mobo. Yes I know it's old but I have a Intel Dual Core 2.7 clocked to 3.2 ghz, gets the job done. Anyway, the spec for the onboard sound is as follows. Realtek ALC888 codec High Definition Audio 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel Support for S/PDIF In/Out Support for CD...

No....4th. Managers don't have their shit together big time. A couple of the ones we have now have their head up their ass 24/7. If I need help with my register it could be 10 minutes before they bother with it. I have even ran out of change before and it took another 5 minutes before they...

Ok, so I'm a cashier at target, well my official title is cart attendant, because I get carts besides cashiering. At every job I have worked, I go it at A time, and leave at B time. If I have to work over, I am usually asked "Hey would you mind working over for 20 minutes or so?" Today...

About 10 years ago when I 1st started building systems, used computer parts were PLENTIFUL. I used to find dumpsters at college or other schools filled to the brim with old towers, which I would often find tons of parts in. There was about 8 computer shops, that had used parts fairly cheap...

1366x768. Full resolution of my monitor. I thought dirt 2 was a real power hungry game?

We can make a really cheap electric car, but the oil companies lobby car manufactures to keep them highly priced.

How so? With my intel e5400 2.7Ghz, playing Dirt 2 at full rez only uses about 30% of my cpu.

I have had antec and rosewill psu's and they always croak on me. I love thermaltake, and they have decent customer support. As far as the video card, $140 is my budget, I think the 550ti will toss what ever I will throw at it. The psu right now is a TT Purepower 350 watts...

I'm talking about the intel pentium sandy bridges like the dual core G850. It says the board supports i3/i5/i7. I should not of said older, I mean the lower-end socket 1155s.

It's a ThermalTake. One year old. It has been good all it's life. It also has dual 12v rails.
