    Windows 10 really slow resume from sleep

    I built a new Skylake system with Asrock Z170 Extreme7, Corsair DDR4 3000 memory, and geforce 970 and Windows 10 takes a long time to resume, like 8-10 seconds. It would be in random places in the resume session. Sometimes the screen is black for a long time, sometimes i get the login screen but...

    Whats the cheapest graphics card that can display 3440x1440?

    I'm trying to find a cheapo card to run a 34" ultrawide for my friend. He only does office work so doesn't need any gaming card. I have it hooked up right now to a Radeon HD 5450 on HDMI running at 30hz. Its not that bad for office work, but would rather get it at optimal refresh rates. Most...

    Weird PS problem, only turns on if I "jump" it with a tester

    I have an old Antec 500 Earthwatts. It works as long as you turn it on with a power supply tester i used this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16899261023. I then have a few seconds where it will turn on and stay on and be 100% ok (can game for hours) unless I totally unplug it or...

    What does AMD have to fight the 780?

    I'm team green, but i rarely play games anymore and rather than having my gpu site idle, i mine litecoins. I just sold my 670 a few months back and going to build a nice haswell system with something nice, maybe the 780, but rather stick in something that could mine. How long will I have to wait...

    Asrock Z87 Extreme 4/6 Owners Thread

    Hot off the heals of the Z77 Ex4, the Z87 Ex4! For those uninitiated, the Z77 Extreme 4 was one of the best Z77 boards for the price. It had nearly all the features of boards twice its price. I would often find the board for $100 on sale at NE and have built almost two dozen systems with it...

    Watch Dog to have "gloriously graphical detail and animation"

    Yeah i am making fun of that max payne thread. I enjoyed 1 & 2 but really wasn't going to bother with 3. But since I just got a 670, decided i need to use it for something other than SC2 and D3. I was really disappointed in everything about the game unfortunately. The graphics reminded me of FF...

    Why did they call it "i7"

    I remember when it was first announced, it was stated they would have a full explanation on why it was called the "i7". I never found this explanation, it seemed to come from nowhere and the number is off. I mean i7 has 8 threads, i5 has 4 cores, i3 has 2 cores. 2 ,4, 8 would make a little...

    Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 Owners Thread

    Lets start a Z77 Extreme4 thread. I would say this is the spiritual successor of the real popular, super budget, note quite full atx, high feature board, the Asus P5NE-SLI (nforce 650). Anyways I just got a pair of Extreme 4s(was going to go with Sabertooth, but decided I can get 2 boards for...

    Do all three next gen consoles have a Radeon in it?

    That doesn't seem fair. All the console ports will be optimized for radeon! Time to jump ship from nvidia? Lol. At least AMD will have a lifeline. That 5.4Billion might pay off finally.

    RAID 0 SSD, any real improvements in the real world?

    I used to play with RAIDs a long time ago, but found they can be a big headache when anything goes wrong. I got addicted to buying SSDs and now have 2x 80GB G2 and 2x samsung 830. I was planning to do samsung boot and programs on the intel 80gb on each of my two systems, but since they are...

    Fastest version of photoshop for XP machine w/ about 2GB mem?

    I use CS5, but it runs like a dog on a 32bit win7 system. It eats up whatever you have left of the 4GB pretty easy. I don't really have a problem with my main systems that have 12GB. I'm trying to run photoshop on older laptops and remember that one of the CS2 or 3 ran pretty nice. I seem to...

    Any suggestions for tracking my stolen laptop

    I recently had a laptop stolen. I had groove installed so I could theoretically copy files to the laptop, but is there anything I can copy there that can help me track the IP? Though most of my important data is password protected, I'd also feel a lot better if the data is erased too. Thanks for...

    Are there any scanners that can hook up to laser printers for instant copying

    I have a nice old HP Laster 6MP, its old, but works decent and i have like probably a lifetime of toner for it. I've had lots of old crappy scanners and it was pretty ridiculous to copy documents with them. I also have an Epson CX3000 that is all in one, but its still pretty slow to do copies...

    Data transfer rate in XP

    One of the coolest features i found in Vista is showing the xfer rate when copying files. Unfortunetly it was at the actual cost of the transfer rate which is horrendous in both local and network settings. Anyone know of any low overhead program that can show this in XP?

    Defrag program like the one in Win95/98 for XP/Vista

    CG movies vs current games

    Have we gotten to the point where games look better, more realistic than cg movies? It looks like they have given up with the realism dream and only create cg movies that are cartoony whereas the new games are getting closer to realism and actually look better than full cg movies ala beowulf.
