I have refurbished an HP TX2500. Upgraded it to an SSD and managed to get Windows10 installed and all drivers working. In monitoring the hardware activity closely, I can see that the main bottleneck is the CPU (and also very likely the GPU). Typically with these older system, it is the HDD. So...

Howdy all, I own the Razer Blade Pro (first gen, with a single USB 3.0 port, http://************/k3f55r9) with a 256GB SSD. It boots Windows 7 so fast that it is usually waiting for me to enter the password before I even get a chance to finish plugging it in. It literally cannot complete the...

I don't know anything about Catleap. But, the Apple 30" Cinema Display is an old monitor. It came out in 2005 or so, and thus, has DVI only. It predates DisplayPort, so that is of little use. Clearly, what is needed is simply an HDMI-to-Dual-Link-DVI active adapter. No such thing seems to...

Doesn't look like it -- I've searched all over. No such thing seems to exist. I'll just have to buy a new monitor, unfortunately.

Well this is depressing. So I need a new monitor? o_O

Thanks for your quick reply paperwastage! The exact model is hard for me to say, as I don't know what they're called. But it's the Razer Blade Pro, with a 256GB SSD and a just one of the USB ports has 3.0 capability (green colored). According to Razer, in an e-mail to them, they responded...

Howdy all, I have an Apple 30" HD Cinema Display. 2560x1600 resolution with a DVI connector. I also have the Razer Blade laptop which only has HDMI-out. The specification for the HDMI should support that resolution. So, as I understood it -- I just need a dual-link DVI capable adapter. So, I...

Guys. This is a problem that can be fixed. HALP!

This does the same thing as "uninstalling" via the Device Manager, unfortunately. When I plug it back in, it reinstalls the iPhone driver, then prompts to reboot. Still returns the same Code 38 error message in Windows. Any other thoughts?

Thanks for your suggestions. Nothing works. Enabling and disabling just prompts to reboot -- which would solve the problem anyway. Any other suggestions? It seems to me that it is Windows' job to automatically figure out how to unload the drivers if they're persisting in memory. How can I...

Upon fresh boot of my brand new Windows 7 Razer Blade laptop, my iPhone works perfectly. But, once I unplug it a single time and re-plug it in, the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver no longer functions correctly in the Device Manager and returns the following error message: "Windows cannot load...

Racharound, Are you referring to this product? http://www.kasercorp.com/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=4 If so, they appear to still sell it (shocker!). However, included in the massive box of Cornice drives that I purchased were several 4GB drives which were slightly...

Howdy everyone. When explaining how a computer works -- I can do a pretty decent job until I get to the CPU. Yes, the "brain" of the computer. I am not a math guy. I have a really difficult time explaining this in general terms to anyone. I understand they employ the use of "logic...

Thanks for all your replies. I understand there are alternatives out there that are quicker. But, I suppose it comes down to what C1 mentioned about a single loop bringing down a super computer. It seems to me that we've reached the point of diminishing returns. I notice hardly any difference...

Curious -- I noticed this metal bracket over the platter of the 4TB HDD depicted here. Anybody know what that's for? :biggrin:
