    Clear CMOS settings in HP OEM IPISB-CH Cleveland 623914-003

    After disabling 3 entries of "Windows boot manager" under UEFI in BIOS, now all i get is blank or black screen. Monitor doesn't even come out of power saving mode and keyboard caps lock / numeric lock lights are not coming up either. As you can see i'm by no mean expert on motherboards...

    Need help finding 8GB PC3L 12800U Desktop Memory

    I need help finding equivalent to 8GB (single DIMM) PC3L 12800U memory please. Right now it's 8GB and would like to make it 16GB. The PC is a brand new HP Envy 700-210xt. The reasons I'm little worried are, "L" in PC3L, and "U" in 12800U. Does that mean low or ultra low voltage or something...

    Windows 8's greatest weakness: DPC latency
