I recommend using Hiren's Boot CD and boot your computer from live cd. You'll find there plenty of tools to check the status of HDD. For HDD I recommend Crystal Disc, HD Tune, Victoria For memory check: Memtest, run at least few full passes. If there's even a single error, you found the culprit. | ||

I just got this PC recently. Help? sometimes electrical noise does that you can try to plug it directly to the motherboard (back of the computer) instead, though I'm guessing that will reduce wire length | ||

Question: Are Osaka and Tokyo the only real places I can go for computer parts? Fluff: I went around to three different big electronics stores and none of them sold anything beyond prebuilts, but I want to price check and see what kind of selection I'm dealing with. There's a place called Marutsu near where I live, but its part variety is limited, to say the least. Japanese computer parts sites will also be appreciated. Alternatively, keywords to toss at Google Maps so I can run on down and see things like cases first hand. | ||

For example you could play music in TeamSpeak like this. Shitty paint for better understanding: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/smOIwzc.png) Or would that result in some kind of audio short curcuit or feedback or something like that? | ||

In Windows 7 it's something like this: http://www.vietvodao.co.za/images/external/Bioshock1-Win7-SoundProblem-StereoMix.png change your default recording device to stereo mix, you should have this option somewhere. | ||

Ever since 1/9 google has blocked NPAPI plugins, and my pepper flash (PPAPI) doesn't work. This wasn't a problem, because I could always just run the adobe one, but that's no longer an option. I can't find anything on the net about why pepperflash would not work, and I've tried reinstalling chrome. Any suggestions? | ||

Only requirement is that it can't be a mac, since I don't wanna run parrallels or vm to use the software for school. I'll be doing some dev work on it, don't know how intensive my cyber security classes are, and web dev. Also want it to be light since I have to carry it around for work/school. Thinking about the asus zenbook, and maybe the dell xps. | ||

Even writing this post now, every letter display with ~1sec delay. Mouseover on thread titles too. Is it only on TL? Try disabling adblock if you have one, refreshing browser could work too. Obviously something is wrong with your browser, could be some viruses even. Running Malwarebytes Antimalware is worth doing as well. But it could be something totally different as well, hard to judge over few words on the internet. | ||

Thinking about the asus zenbook, and maybe the dell xps. There are a lot of Dell XPS models, each quite different from the others. I have the XPS 12 (2-in-1). With Windows 8 I occasionally had issues where after waking from sleep the wireless was slow (some kind of driver issue?) and the touchpad didn't have multitouch. With Windows 10 both of those problems seem to have been resolved. Battery life is 8-10 hours on light use (reading / writing) and 4-5 on heavier use (videos/streams). It's expensive full price ~$1700, but you can get it for half that if you get it used or refurbished on Amazon. I've also used an hp revolve 810, but I wouldn't recommend it primarily because the resolution is ~1366x768 and it's battery life is only 5 hours on light use. Can't say much else about other laptops. I wouldn't expect much of anything you do in school to be overly computer-resource intensive. They'd likely have virtualized servers to use if things were going to need significant amount of resources. | ||

Got stationary scanlines suddenly appearing on the right side of my monitor and giving off a reddish tint (happened when I was browsing in chrome). Everything on the left half of the screen looks normal. I thought it might be a video driver problem since I recently updated a few days back, but the horizontal lines and red tint are still there after rolling back. Tried reconnecting the DVI cables but that didn't fix it. Is my monitor (Asus VS229H-P) broken? Or could it be my video card (gtx 650 ti)? | ||

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/259335-ips-monitor-suddenly-has-red-tint-on-one-side/ I think it might be a problem with the monitor since mine looks exactly like that, and the guy ended up RMAing it. Well this sucks, barely had it for 2 years. Asus RMA it is, this is going to take forever. Or maybe I should just buy another one for $134  | ||

All I can think of is PSU. Both computers I have are older HP's with 475W PSU. Before I chose the 660Ti I checked it had a max power of 150W and required 2x6pin (same as HD4870). But then I bought an ASUS one which the website says 225W not 150W like the reference NVIDIA card. Would this prevent it from POSTing? | ||
