My concern is that I got a 250 gb SSD in my old laptop, and my new laptop has a 1tb HDD. If I simply transfer my old files-- image, video, text, music, what sort f change in performance can I expect to see? New one has a dedicated graphics card so I expect to be able to run some games better, i7 might make some difference but I'm unsure. Ideally I would like to have my files on my SSD in my new computer, but from what I've read I wouldn't be able to just swap it out because of a different OS (widows 7 vs 8.1), hardware and drivers. What im thinking is I'd move the files over to the HDD then wipe the SSD and clone all my stuff from the HDD back to it. Is there an easier way to do this? For reference: Old laptop, Asus u46e http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/U46E/specifications/ with the 250gb SSD replacement, i5 and 8gb ram New laptop, Acer http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16834314591 I was going to wait, but that $100 off got me :/ Edit: SSD is currently 200/250 gb full. A good chunk of it is video games (skyrim, path of exile) which I can probably dump. I'd estimate that I want to keep less that 50gb of stuff from it. | ||

Maybe response time is the proper nam) my tv has all sorts of weird settings like dynamic contrast, film mode etc. I turned off what I thought might be a problem but for the rest I'm not sure. think I said that right. Response time means something completely different to input lag/latency in TV/monitor context I think the biggest one is to find whatever game mode setting on your TV if there is one | ||

Thanks for your help ! What are your exact system specs? I would try doing a complete clean reinstall of GPU drivers (complete removal in safe mode using display driver uninstaller from guru3d) and reinstall of newest ones after a restart. Also Memtest, maybe hardware problem with RAM or PSU | ||

I launch him casually, see that it freezes during Windows startup and since I was said to just "make this work, no data to safe" I started with checking stuff. I checked everything I could, RAM few times, HDD, GPU and CPU, nothing showed any errors. Cleaned inside, checked connections. All fine. I decided to give it another go and Windows startups normally. Few restarts, cleaning of the system, all fine. Weird. Next few hours off, the issue reemerges. Randomly freezes on startup, sometimes even on DOS programs. BIOS doesn't tell anything. Flashed BIOS to newest version, replaced the battery. Still the issue is here. Curious: if I check the RAM with MemTest or anything else, then I can just launch the PC and Windows starts and everything works like nothing happened. If I let it off for few hours, I'm sure I will have the freezing issue again. My only guess now is that motherboard itself is faulty, but I can't confirm that for 100%. Any ideas? I'm curious actually myself, what might be wrong. Remember this post? Well... Bought new motherboard. Placed everything. LED is turning on, power is on. Click! Nothing. PC shuts itself after 4-5 seconds. Not even BIOS beep, nothing. Returned to old mobo, that worked at least partially. The same thing. 5 seconds of turning up and the shuts down without a sound. Got new CPU. Same. Got new PSU. SAME. What the hell is wrong. I can't believe I'm chasing this issue for so long and still can't fix it. I have no idea what to do with this. | ||

There's no button on the mobo (it's a bit old), but used the screwdriver to "power on". Always the same. Stuff powers back, the fans are spinning (all of them) and after few seconds it just shuts down completely. | ||

With modern Intel boards at least, there is a ~24 pin as well as a ~4+4 pin. | ||

Not the case, motherboard is few years old and it's on AMD tech. Got two different PSU, one for 20 pin and one 20+4 pins. Gonna try checking every possible configuration, but this is driving me quite insane. Like, what else can be wrong in there? | ||
