Plenty cleared up and understood. All good, thanks a lot.

Well the d770 it is then, which model best to use with my yamaha receiver? Seems I'll be at the tv more than pc for movies now, especially with the 3m cable there. I do actually still care about virtual on pc but i now see that's software side with a good stereo pair than a a pair with 5x tiny...

As you mentioned audiotechnica, heard that from a friend too. What do you think of Audio-Technica ATH-M50X in comparison to dt990? For my tv, ofc I can plug straight into the receiver for great audio but for pc? For pc, seems I'll get the creative z if built in sound card isn't enough for a...

Well thank you for that very well explained explanation. Didn't think of the quality impact of smaller drivers vs two large on virtual. Sounds like a good stereo/virtual set would be the better option now. Please do state your options for a pc/usb, wired/wireless no preference. I want them to...

Yeah, I've browsed through a lot of bias, fanboys and cupids lol. I love this forum so decided to take a whirl and ask here, hope for some good suggestions, idea's to lean on etc. I've used several virtual but didn't really feel the depth of it as i expected it to be. IMO for gaming...

I have done a lot of googling but there is simply too much out there and too many things to consider, not enough reviews etc to help me make my mind up. As well as not being experienced in the high quality audio section Looking for True 5/7.1 Dolby TrueHD? Headphones, microphone not necessary...

Benchmarks, install, data transfer etc. times are as would be expected of an ssd. It's just this long blank sreen on boot that is the issue. Boot drives are set to primary drive only. I bought a 1TB ssd recently for my main pc, decided to try cloning with the original hdd the laptop used to...

Above answer seemed to be auto marled as solution... This is a fresh OS install on a brand new ssd, also same issue on another brand new ssd, a simple disk cleanup and registry fix have no impact. Seems a laptop hardware/advanced bios settings fault. Bios advanced settings inaccessible. Since...

Secure Boot shows up as unsupported amd to intel gpu (powerplay/switchable graphics) works fine as configured, no impact on boot time when set to perma-amd

...So i decided not to sleep waiting for hardware/ Memory Test and dang it takes long. The BIOS is InsydeH20 which has Advanced Settings locked out and unfortunately everywhere i've looked, cannot be 'normally' unlocked. Found a thread where a user was trying to aid people in unlocking it but...

When i stated updated drivers, it included bios check which was already F.1C And intterface is SATA 3 - 6Gb/s 3am, Will play with bios in the morning, along with seeing results of installing one into the other laptop. May also format the tower installed drive and into this dv7 just to check if...

Gotten used to the speed of SSD boot to desktop and loading times so upgrading laptops HDD to SSD but experiencing such long delay compared to my PC's 3-5sec boot to desktop... Windows 8.1 on original HDD had approx. 3min boot, upgrade to Win10 approx 4.5min to desktop. Laptop - HP Pavilion...

In most cases, HDD would make a clicking type sound, Fans give off a "whirring" sound. In many cases, S.M.A.R.T. HDD checking tools can read the drive to be good but still end up failing, so best to backup data as said previously. If it really is more like a whirring sound, you may be able to...

Web search the laptop model for instructions on how to open/dismantle it to get to the parts. Or do so if you feel comfortable and adventurous. Alternative - take to a repair desk. First thing to try is cleaning out dust if there is a lot, which you'll want t odo anyway since you've opened it...
