Thanks, I'll have a check through those :) I'd love to try another monitor to see if that fixes it. This monitor uses two display ports together, which I imagine increases the chances of unusual behavior. Puffnstuff, agreed on it being very annoying! Interesting that it happened before the...

Update: If a Window is snapped then minimized, it'll move and shrink a little when the screen comes back on, but not much. If it's not snapped to either side of the screen, and minimized, when the screen comes back on it'll be tiny (as per the screenshot in my post above). Likewise any windows...

Thanks for the replies. I've attached a sequence of screenshots here also. Top is the window open before I minimize it. Middle is using Peek, it appears to remember the size and position Bottom is when I actually click it, and it becomes tiny and goes up the top left I just used Chrome as an...

I'm running Windows 10 on the Dell UP2715K 5K screen, which worked really well before the Creators Update. But since then it's got an annoying habit of forgetting the window size and position every time I turn the monitor off. It defaults to extremely tiny windows. I wondered if anyone else had...

Just having troubles turning on and narrowing it down. Is this how the thermal paste should look when pulled apart? It doesn't look ideal to have air holes, but I doubt that's bad enough for it to not turn on (or rather, keep rebooting before it actually loads the bios - I suspect the...

Ah that's good to know, thanks! I will do :)

I'm just having trouble getting Asus Thermal Radar 2 to seemingly do anything to my i7 4770k and wonder if anyone might have any hints as to what I'm doing wrong? I tried various settings leading up to going all out max here... http://img.acianetmedia.com/i/i7QgY.jpg But my CPU temp and...

I upgraded my hard drive to 4tb (Windows 8.1 64-bit) and installed Windows on it, but it only recognizes 2tb. I see there's a program to convert the drive to GPT so it'll recognize 4tb, but it says to check my motherboard supports EFI/UEFI boot, otherwise it won't boot next time. My...

Hmm this is weird, I went to go try that today (disable GPU acceleration) and I see it's fixed already. It was a new install a Windows 8, and it did do numerous updates today. Random though.

I'm having an issue with Windows 8 (at first I thought just some websites in Chrome but now I've seen it happen in other programs) and wondered if anyone could offer advice? Some text in Windows 8, like a little of the text in DVDFab appears too bold and blurry. Some websites ( Facebook...

I was wondering if anyone knows of a Haswell motherboard where if I put the graphics card (MSI GeForce GTX 770 OC Lightning 2GB) into the 2nd PCI-E 16x slot, it actually runs at 16x? Ideally I was looking for a micro-atx board, but all I've checked seem to run at 8x if you put the only graphics...

Thanks, I checked my settings just now and I couldn't see a great deal to change but I turned off "Alternate DVI operational mode" and in power options for Windows I disabled hybrid sleep. Honestly I don't know if either of those will make any difference but I'll see :) If they fail I might try...

Last week I got the "Sapphire ATI Radeon HD7750 Ultimate 1GB PCI-Express Video Card fanless" and it's great but I've noticed a few quirks... * If I turn my computer on, then turn my monitor on after it's already past the BIOS, the monitor will stay in power saving mode and not display a...

For Windows 8 and it's live tile based start menu, I was wondering about having a second monitor. In particular a smaller touch screen sitting under my main monitor, sloped down from the bottom of the main monitor towards my keyboard. Then I'd run the Start menu, and Metro apps like music etc...

I wonder if anyone could help recommend what I look at it here. I've got a Windows 7 computer that keeps freezing... * Freezes once or twice a day, no blue screen, no crash dumps (crash dumps are enabled) * Ran MemTest over night and it passed, SeaTools found no problems with the hard drive. *...
