You mixed different ram? Never mix and match ram. It is always a bad idea. Best case scenario is it works in mixed mode with a hefty performance penalty or worst case you system won't boot at all. I wish you had shared this fact sooner. The only fool proof way to make sure ram runs properly with...

Yeah an undervolt will bring down your temps. You may need to down clock as well...find the sweet spot tinkering with both where you can boost 100% of the time or close so you get the max frequency out of your GPU and help stabilize frame rates.

Nivida GPUs throttle at 84C...this is likely the cause of your frame drops. most laptops don't have decent cooling and yours seems to be no exception. A laptop cooler may help some. Something like this... https://www.amazon.com/Havit-HV-F2056-Laptop-Cooler-Cooling/dp/B00NNMB3KS

You may be right but you may not be. Regardless if hardware like that is damaged you should be taking it in to be checked. Either way with broken bits you could have shorts happening and tons of other very harmful/dangerous things that you won't know about unless you take it in. To me it sounds...

Possible, yes...Will it can't say without seeing the damage and why i recommended you take it to a tech. l

If you hear something now you didn't before, clearly something broke loose. Now as for a fix..that is tough. We would need to know what broke off, and if it affected system power. Likely you just broke some plastic hold downs and damaged your battery a hair. If your laptop is still under...

try to replicate it while monitoring temps. lmk what you get.

What are your temps when this happens? Also have you run DDU yet? if no do that now... https://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,9.html

If you don't like steam big picture mode steam OS is gonna drive you nutz. Can't say I know much of other launchers as most gamer's aren't eager to add more processing overhead to their machines.

Please only post once...

Sounds like the feature I was asking you to look for (seen a few names for it). Some receivers have it on or tune it for you...mistakes happen and things like this pop up. However it sounds like you checked yours already. Was worth exploration though. You default your receiver yet and try...

Does your receiver have a setting for audio delay? Sometimes this can help but not all models have it.

If making your list within 10% of the performance of the XB1. So 10% less then, equal to or greater than XB1...(so everything ≥ 1152 GFLOPS or 1.152TFLOPS makes the cut). So then the list looks more like this: 670mx 680m 680mx 770m 780m 870m 880m 960m 965m 970m 980m gtx980 1050 1050ti 1060 1070...

The 480m for example is less then 1/2 the performance rated at 46% of the power. I am not sure how you came up with your numbers but they are very very flawed. I am happy to help you narrow down a proper list of mobile GPUs with xbox one equivalent power if you like.

Not really... 480m = 598 GFLOPS https://www.nvidia.in/object/product-geforce-gtx-480m-in.html 485m = 883.2 GFLOPS https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-485m.c390 570m = 772.8 GFLOPS https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-570m.c1495 580m = 952.3 GFLOPs...

Still possible on 8.1 just follow this walkthrough...basically what Saga Lout was saying https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-open-disk-management-2626080

There are some freeware partition setups I also find helpful... https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html https://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/epm-free.html

Also try this if on windows 10. Right click the start button in the lower left and choose disk management. Scroll down to see if your disk is there. It may well need to be initialized under disk management for the OS to use it and allow you to format and partition it. If so do that now. If you...

Slime laboratory?

I also suggest a full format and reinstall of windows if you can get your files back. And as always do back ups. They prevent things like this from happening.

Djvu is a ransomware virus. Your files are being held captive for payment via encryption. Now you can remove the virus but trying to decrypt the files can result in them being deleted. Here is more on it... https://howtoremove.guide/remove-djvu-virus-file/...

Are you sure you came home with the same harddrive? That's a scam I have seen run. Bring in a computer for repair...after initial inspection they say its software related. They claim windows is reinstalled and all is well, usually pretty cheaply. You pick up the machine and use it at home to...

Is it possible? Yes a good tech/hacker can get a system to do damn near what they want it to...but they could only do so much without hacking uefi/bios that you couldn't fix yourself. So I label it as unlikely. I'd check your uefi/bios make sure all the settings are good there. A small tweak in...

AS a VR user...I would not get anything less then a GTX 1080 as even since VR launched games that stated a GTX 1070 would be enough...have ended up requiring a GTX 1080. As a whole yes you can play VR with your set up but you will be limited on titles with that GPU.

For the reason mentioned above 9 times out of 10 you want to better GPU. This is on of those times. Grab the 1070.

I have been Using VPN express for a while now but starting the last week or so when using the forums I sometimes can't stay logged in, others it won't log in at all until i clear the cache and if I am in the forums logged in and I try to click the Tomshardware Banner to jump back to the main...

Yeah no not really. You ideally want 6C CPU for that or better.

First you got what you had coming...I hate cheaters but I hate an infected PC worse so you are in luck. therealduckofdeath pretty much nailed it across the board. You very likely have the worst of the worst malware/virus, a rootkit. You need to back up all documets, photos and videos on an...

i only use the play store so my apps should be okish but i do have some free apps with ads. I know I have accidentally clicked those before. I guess that could be the vector. Only other things I can think of is a hacker Sylvia (handle not name) who has hacked me several times before because I...

yeah I figured. I only use it for checking the tides when I am fishing as far as web surfing goes. I know phones are not as secure. So I already avoid the web as much as possible. So besides avoiding web pages anything else I should do? Thanks paladin. Always like working with you in the...

Update found more stuff: Someone hacked my phone note 5 and tried to hack my PC accounts but failed (google and ubisoft warned me). They altered texts, made it so I can only charge if I turn the phone off, added apps to my drawer and they changed my security pin (I got that part fixed though...

Believed my phones SMS was hacked. Is it possible to inject an SMS message on a phone? And is there a way to tell who did it to me?

While likely spam it is the kind of text I would still alert the police about.

Unless you wrote it down your out of luck. Asking for any help to hack your phone to retrieve your password is against Tom's TOS.

Time to search your house and car. Being dead using your eyeballs is about the only option, unless you know a really good psychic. If so I also have a bridge I want to sell you ;)

Also have you made sure to set the resolution using HDMI through the nvidia control panel and not just the display settings when right clicking the desktop. If you just use display settings I have seen it be an issue for other users only being able to hit 60hz. Your HDMI 2.0 connection should be...

Honestly you would be better off getting a new monitor if you want to run 144hz from a laptop. Laptops don't typically have dual link DVI. They use display port to hit high refresh rates which your monitor doesn't have. As for the CS:GO issue I need more info. What is your CPU and GPU usage and...

not at 60hz...gsync starts to fail at 50hz (some users say it fails at less then 60hz)...so you have a 10FPS window at best. Not worth it IMHO. I'd rather have to set vsync at a higher refresh rate like 90-120hz then gsync at 60hz. Gsync is pointless as far as I see it on anything less the 90hz.

If you can buy the used one that's not a bad deal...though I have had issues with deals that good on amazon. Usually its BS and it will never show up at half the cost...but you never know. Amazon covers you if it is fake so there is that. Cost/performance wise it is the best "deal"...after which...

Your GPU (GT 330) is way too under-powered for a decent frame rate on GTA V. Sorry the news is not better.

I'd go with an r5 1600 if i were you. 6C/12T and has shown to be an excellent gaming CPU for the most part, though we all know Intel still holds the gaming CPu crown. The r5 should be plenty future proof and much cheaper then an Intel alternative. As for the motherboard...unless you are dead set...

GPU wise you have VR covered....it is your CPU that is the issue IMO. Without a proper CPU you won't hit the 90hz/fps needed to minimize motion sickness. Now that said AMD says your CPU is enough for entry level VR, though Oculus recommended specs disagree. Even my i7 3930k doesn't meet the...

https://support.oculus.com/help/oculus/170128916778795/ As you can see your system falls short.

You computer is wholly inadequate for VR. You need a PC upgrade long before you can run VR.

Yeah with laptops you generally need to replace the whole thing. Sorry the news is not better.

Nope they just want to continue to compete/beat with Oculus Rift and increase user base at the same time.

I saw the the posts. Not sure if i trust them or not. Personally I'd take CR over some random posts. That said my personal issues with surface is, over priced and to hard to fix. If those two don't bother you. You'll probably love it.

Not if you believe consumer reports. https://techcrunch.com/2017/08/10/consumer-reports-pulls-microsoft-surface-recommendation-citing-high-breakage-rates/
