    what are the pros and cons of antivirus

    If you want free, corroded hit the nail on the head with that. I've only had 2nd thoughts about them due to them getting caught slip-streaming patches on their antivirus program that helps them collect data about your shopping habbits for their personal gain. That's been a handful of years ago...

    Recommend anti virus?

    If you can get your hands on a copy of ESET, its the best imo. I've had two customers that call me every 2 weeks with software issues and I used avg and bitdefender and neither programs stopped the problem. I tried ESET, recommended by the microcenter rep and neither customer has had an issue...

    4K TV with somewhat old laptop

    No, you still have to have a higher bandwidth hdmi cable to support even 4k @ 30hz. I had this issue with the 295x2 and I had to get an upgraded cable to support it at that bandwidth. A standard 1.4 hmdi cable wont support it.

    4K TV with somewhat old laptop

    Even if your laptop was able to support 4k res, you have to have the correct hdmi cable (2.0) not 1.4, in which you likely have to support that bandwidth. If its an older laptop, I dont believe you can send 4k res to the TV...

    Need Help w/Converting DVD to Digital

    Well, hopefully you find what you're looking for. I'd try some dvd/blu ray rip forums as those guys are hard core and can probably point you in the right direction quickly. Good luck with it! =D

    Crash no BSOD!

    Conduit is very common and causes this. Look in your add/remove programs to see if you see anything with that program name. ESET should pick this up. Do you have a current paid for antivirus program installed? If not, I'd give the ESET full security suite a try as I have two customers that...

    Longtime Asus hardware? bios? issues

    Yes, you do need to decide if its worth investing in. If not, then I'd wait it out.

    Crash no BSOD!

    If your system will run well enough to do this, go here: https://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ That's simply the best antivirus around imo. If it doesnt pick anything up, Id go with it being a hardware issue and run to the place you bought it and let them tell you differently. Good luck!

    Longtime Asus hardware? bios? issues

    If you can get your hands on another hard drive, I'd try that first. I have an ASUS gaming laptop and I had a similar issue that was caused from overheating. I found a motherboard repair service on ebay and sent it to them and for 125.00 they disassembled, troubleshot the motherboard and...

    Need Help w/Converting DVD to Digital

    I have been down the road you're going down now. I used dvd shrink for years and you can still get version 3.2 for free. It may not have the bells and whistles you are looking for but it should copy fairly good quality overall. I then went to 1 click dvd copy pro and then dabbled with...

    Losing my mind, help.

    Do you remember if you did a clean install of windows 10 or upgrade? If you upgraded, you can revert back to windows 7. If you did a clean install, you have to install windows 7 as a clean install and cant revert back. I got that straight from Microsoft about 4 months ago when I did an RMA...

    Corsair H2100 Wireless Headset Lost USB

    The usb dongle is the receiver for the headset so I believe you will want to start searching hard for it or maybe get a used one on ebay.
