    How do I find a scammer's location with skype? He scammed thousands of dollars from me and I want to call police in that area

    If anyone could find the location of anyone that easily, it would be a very different world. You can contact the police and they can do it.

    Solved! Cannot for the life of me figure out how to type <>

    If it has a number pad you can use alt codes. Alt+60 and alt+62. I don't know if that works on mac actually.

    Solved! if i buy an egpu can i use a thunderbolt 3 to usb a and will it still work?

    No because usb does not have pcie protocols. Tb3 is not the only port with pcie. Every laptop with wifi has a slot, either mpcie or m.2, that the wifi card is in. There's also expresscard but that's on older laptops and also the older versions of tb.

    Solved! how do I play games on an acer with no optical disc drive??

    I haven't used a cd since...sim city 4? Most pcs don't have them anymore. You'd have to use a usb cd drive.

    hp probook 4540s motherboard upgrade

    1050 or rx 560. It's going to bottleneck but you can't help it.

    Depending on what gpu you get, yes. It may also depend on the game.

    hp probook 4540s motherboard upgrade

    You could possibly look at an egpu if you are willing to be stationary and have an external monitor. The bottom panel comes off easily and if you take out the wifi card, you can use an adapter there with a gpu.

    There is only 1 mobo, the same kind you have. You can't add a gpu and the igpu isn't meant for gaming. The only option you have for a gaming pc is a new pc.

    Does Asus X455LD support eGPU ?

    That post was towards jojesa. Mpcie only has 1 type of connector and those are not mpcie. Those are pcie x1. Risers are not what you want. Those are like extension cables and are for desktop. Pcie is not mpcie.

    Solved! pc game controllers

    92% including ps3, ps4, xb360, and xbone. A lot of the people who are using controllers also have consoles so they just use the controllers they already have. People could also buy those in case they do ever do buy a console later. Quality is also a concern. Over the years, I've used a couple...

    Laptop at 118 degres Celcius

    Yup that's a third party software and the other low temps tells me it's just not reading it right. Use mobo software.

    Laptop at 118 degres Celcius

    That's not a laptop mobo and that's not a laptop cpu. Is this really a laptop? It's likely it's not actually at that temp as it would shut off. There's a lot of these threads and every time, they are using third party software that isn't reading the mobo correctly. Mobos sensors are not...

    Does Asus X455LD support eGPU ?

    That's the same one I linked to that can be used as either full or half. Most of the adapters available all come from the same manufacturer.

    Does Asus X455LD support eGPU ?

    The exp gdc isn't the only adapter and others have had less issues and cost less. https://egpu.io/forums/expresscard-mpcie-m-2-adapters/us7-50-generic-mpcie-egpu-adapter/ You also don't need 300-400w psu just to power a 90w gpu. Although the better quality psus aren't going to be much smaller...

    Does Asus X455LD support eGPU ?

    Ok so you have no issue with what has to be done to get to it. Then yes the mpcie slot (not pcie, they're not the same) could run an egpu. You still need a mpcie to pcie x16 adapter, external psu to power the gpu, external monitor, and from the disassembly possibly a mouse and keyboard.
