    Solved! Acer Predator Helios 300 running slow

    If i remember correctly this laptop uses the i7 7700 HQ which is notorious for getting overheated. First of all check your cpu model by using CPU-Z. Then check your cpu temps while gaming using MSI Afterburner, RealTemp or a similar software. If you see very high temps you may have to downvolt...

    Solved! 120hz vs 144hz gaming laptop?

    That would depend on the rest of specs as well as their price difference. i.e. buying a 144hz laptop that cannot run games at 144 fps is not a good option. In general, you cannot feel any difference between 120 hz and 144, especially for titles as mentioned above. It could make sense for shooter...

    Solved! My old hp just crashed & I am in desperate need of getting hold of some data. I removed the hard disk (wd 750 GB :WD7500BPKT)

    If the drive is Sata and not IDE (i assume it's Sata) then you can directly connect it to your pc using a Sata cable and a psu sata power calbe. Modern laptops use standard 2.5" hard drives that can be connected to any system using Sata ports. It should be fine

    Solved! Asus switch to battery mode even while it's plugged in

    Are you sure there isn't an option for "more power settings" among the screen? If not you can edit the balanced power plan to your desires. I heard people complain about losing files, not this one though. Maybe you could leave a report of your problem at Microsoft. Also check the settings at the...

    Solved! Asus switch to battery mode even while it's plugged in

    Inspect your power settings at control panel. Select High Performance if needed. I heard Microsoft will release a patch to resolve issues.

    headphones are orange but my setup is white and blue

    That shouldn't really be a problem except for you 're one of a pro streamer where having a mismatch in colors for your headset would hurt your image. Honestly, don't put your hands on them. Respect the hardware and buy another set.

    Laptop fan turns on when charger plugged in

    When you connect the charger, the system probably starts running in High Performance mode while without it should run in Power Saving. You can revise these settings at Power Management through Control Panel. Your fans may be triggered by either a false or an other temp reading like motherboard...

    My Watch Has Ended (i'm goin to fry this PC)

    It really doesn't worth the money and effort. Performance wise, it isn't going to lead anywhere that justifies the working hours and possible drawbacks to replace with a compatible cpu, not to mention that the chip maybe soldered on the motherboard. Wait for additional answers to verify. You can...

    Charging light going full green and not orange why

    Which is the condition of the battery? Does it actually charge or does it die quickly when disconnecting adapter?

    Headset mic not working

    You can try these things: Run the Windows Device troubleshooter in control panel Run sfc/scannow Check the integrity of cache files through each gaming platform Eventually re-installing a game should fix the issue

    Headset mic not working

    That may not solve your issue but you can try. Since it works with some programs but not in games, it indicates a driver issue. Was it always like that? Did you change anything or had an OS update? Post your specs and we may find the root cause

    Headset mic not working

    Check your drivers. Try to clean and re-install your audio drivers. Download them from your motherboard's site and select the proper OS.

    Headset mic not working

    Which games exactly. Usually you have to configure/select your mic settings within the main platform, e.g steam, origin etc
