So in "screen resolution" you don't have the option of 1080, right? What are your top options?

I do have the option of 1920x1080, and it is currently set to that, which is the top resolution for my monitor (P2214H).

My actual problem, which isn't the one I originally stated in my first posts, is that the screen looks ever so slightly blurry and not as crisp as my original monitor which has the exact same resolution.

Sorry for the confusion!

Oh. Did you try swapping the monitor connections to see if that changes blurriness (reverse the two).

If whichever is connected through VGA is blurry, you try swapping the cable. I vaguely recall reading about potential quality issues from mediocre VGA cables being used near their limit.

Just tried the problematic monitor with my DVI cable, and it looks amazing, must be some problem with the VGA then. I'll try a new cable, thanks for your help!

In windows 8.1 how do you pin a folder to the task bar such that when you open it's "used"?

You cannot install video card drivers outside of Windows drive. If you are talking about creating a symbolic link than no, that would be a waste of time.

VGA approximates the image. You need to use the auto adjust button to make the image clearer.

Anything special about Lithium-Polymer batteries compared to Lithium-ion batteries for laptops? I was going to buy my wife a Yoga 2 Pro and the Lenovo seller told me the battery was Lithium-Polymer and that it needed proper care, and that it was recommended to use Lenovo's maintenance service to do some sort of calibration every two months or something, otherwise the battery would swell or something.

After doing some research it looks that many manufacturers including Samsung and Apple use them in their high-end products even if the main advantage of Lithium-Polymer batteries is their lower costs. Other than that my research did not yield very interesting results. Lenovo also offers a regular Lithium-ion battery for a cost barely higher than the Lithium-Polymer one, what should I get?

Hi,

i do have a 5770 graphicscard in my pc. My dad has a 5770+ (overclocked) and i would like to use my dads one for crossfire. Will there be any problems with the different speeds of the graphics cards? Are there any solutions if so?

Cheers

You should be able to crossfire them with no problems. If I'm wrong about that you can either overclock the stock 5770 or underclock the 5770+ one to match speeds.

My cpu cooler is dead I think, fan on it doesnt work suddenly. PC says i have "new hardware", but does it mean too if I remove something or something is dead? :D

Any suggestion for a new heat-sink? I used a Scythe Mugen 2. I dont think I can plug one with more than 158mm height. Mainboard is a ASRock 870 Extreme3.

Well if only the fan is dead you can just buy a new fan, no? The heat-sink itself is still good, no?

How do you know that only fan is dead? I have 2 fans bit I think they are just for airflow, not for cpu.

The "cooler" is just a chunk of metal with heatpipes that has a few fans attached. The vastly more expensive part can't really break

It has its own fan/s, not your case fans, and if they're not working you can easily replace them with alternate fans, even get quieter or more powerful ones than it came with if you feel like it

If something is gone it's not new. New hardware means Windows picks up on something it doesn't know about and generally corresponds with an attempt to get drivers for it; if it's gone it has nothing to detect. Heatsinks generally don't register in Windows as hardware, since the only thing usually connected is fan power to the motherboard. Some heatsinks make use of a USB internal connector (e.g. a Kraken CLC to let you change the fan curve or LED), but most don't have much use for that. Even when that's done you don't even need to keep it constantly connected, just connected when you want to set the settings, then removed to free up the USB connector.

I believe it's possible for an unchanged device to be picked up as new in a few cases, but I believe that usually involves software changes (like uninstalling drivers).

If something is gone it's not new. New hardware means Windows picks up on something it doesn't know about [...]

Another expert assumed that "new hardware" is possible if cpu automatically underclocked extremely due to heat and Windows thinks "mmh, something has changed here".

The normal idle behavior of CPU already underclocks it to like 30% of normal and lower voltage to match. Doesn't make sense that a simple clock or voltage change up or down would make any difference to the CPU model being reported, since under and overclocking are already well-established, commonly done things.
