    Solved! Laptop 118 degrees

    Feels like its radiating from the Video card. Dust free and new thermal paste. Am I about to blow up my GTX 850m? Or will it survive games? Everywhere else was far cooler.

    Running External Graphics Card?

    Thanks, I'll look into that. I've been out of the tech loop for a while. Pilfering through all the new stuff, checking compatibility, and not buying flashy crap that under-performs will be fun. I'm over this 30 FPS Xbox stuff.

    Best budget laptop/desktop for gaming

    Looking for recommendations for a decent gaming Laptop/Desktop. My son wants to be able to play games like Fortnite, PUBG, etc. Don't need a crazy expensive one, but not a POS lol. Xbox One already lags those games enough.

    Solved! Asus N550JK Black Screen

    I know this has been brought up a billion times. Asus N550JK screen randomly works on extremely rare conditions. If it boots up and works, it works until I power down. Always displays to A TV just fine with use of an HDMI cord. I tore the dumb thing apart and no ribbons were loose, nothing...
