  1. so there's a metal piece or plastic I think that's blocking it. which is very weird because it's my first time seeing something like this. can this be opened? is there a mechanism for it? my friend bought it from newegg it's an ibuypower pc. it's using an asrock z97 anniversary motherboard and I've built a computer with this mobo before and I never really remembered seeing something like this. so I'm guessing it's not the default IO Blackplate? she really can't plug usb's into it.
  2. I've been recently trying to update my windows 10 but the problem is once the installation is finished and it restarts I get a BSOD. I've also done sfc scan now problem is it's stuck at 25%. I tried another command line "Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth" however it gives me error 193 and the process cannot continue. I've already done registry scans but to no avail. I am using genuine copy btw. thanks to whoever can answer
  3. hm it started ever since I've been playing it. I bought the game like 3 weeks ago since there was a sale...
  4. So i'm not sure what's really going on with the game or it could just be my specs... whenever I play campaign mode I get 60 fps at ultra no problem and stable. but, whenever I play multiplayer I've been having a lot of fps drops. I would understand when there's a situation where the explosives are all over the place but I get 60 to 20+ to 30 drops at the start of the match and it goes back to 60 and comes back down to 30. it's kinda annoying.... here are my specs i5 7400, MSI GTX 970, 16GB DDR4, and the game is in an SSD.
  5. thanks bud guess I'll have to check the shops today.
  6. oh I use the phone and connect it to the pc. I was thinking it could be formatted if I used a media card reader but that means I'll have to buy one ughhh.
  7. it's this. wasn't even sure with the brand tbh but it was cheap so I'm guessing it is locked or something.
  8. it's a micro sd card. doesn't look like that although it could be lock I guess I'll have to find some info about this card then.
  9. So I got this 16GB SD CARD that keeps unmounting itself. I was wondering what should I do to fix this. various forums suggest a reformat to fat32 problem is windows can't format it. if I right click on the drive format options are unavailable. I have also tried formatting using the phone itself still no options for it.
  10. ah! well this makes it easier thanks bud. I was getting concern because my shop can't find any x30's I guess I can just find some single rad AIOs like the h50
  11. So, I kinda won a raffle in my local computer shop and I won the Kraken g10 gpu watercooling bracket. after reading the label it appears it doesn't support gtx 900 series. so my question is anyone using a 970 or 980 using this bracket? right now I am using an MSI gtx 970 and if the bracket doesn't support this card then I guess I'll just sell it.
  12. RIP the price of the rx 470 is the same as the 1060 so the 480 is a no no darn.
  13. I'll have to check if its the same price as the 1060 3gb. for the 480 I mean
  14. hmm good idea I'll have to see if I can squeeze a 240gb for it. because it was just an additional 30 dollars to make it 16 GB if I convert it.
  15. I'll be using this mainly on gaming and a bit of word processing for work and Router UI testing. I won't be using pc part picker because I don't live in the u.s and the prices aren't the same. all I'm asking is, are the parts okay? i3 6100 (stock cooler) zotac gtx 1060 mini 3gb msi h110m 120gb Crucial SSD 16gb g-skill 2400mhz RAM 2 8gb's seasonic 620 watt 80+ bronze Tecware Quad
  16. So recently I purchased my first gaming laptop. the MSI leopard pro it's pretty good has a gtx 960m, i7 6700hq basically runs game at decent framerates. so I tried hooking up an old monitor, this monitor has a resolution of 1366x768 and only has a vga port. I made the monitor my primary via windows options. my goal was to run games at 1366x768 and see the framerate difference. the first game I tested was witcher 3. now I already set witcher 3 at 1366x768 using nvidia geforce experience. The problem is when I open witcher 3 the external monitor doesn't show it. it only gives the error " Input error display". so what I did was I made my laptop's monitor primary again and voila the game opened at 1366x768. so what I did was I made it into 1280x720 and made run it at window mode, then drag the game to the external monitor. then what I did was make the external monitor the primary one again and made witcher 3 run at borderless window mode. then it worked! so my question is any solution for this input error display? cos doing this whole procedure is a bit of a nuisance.
  17. so, I was testing geforce experience. I tested three games, Witcher 3, Far cry Primal, and black ops 3. Geforce experience recommended a 1366x768 res down from 1080p for witcher 3 and far cry. however they were set to high to ultra (especially witcher3) so when I tried the games they look quite excellent. I couldn't notice any Edges even though the games were running at 720 and fxaa ( witcher 3 had only 1 option for AA). now black ops 3 was quite different. Geforce exp optimize it at low to med at 1920x1080 (no aa). I tested the game and I guess it was okay I was running it at 50 to 60 fps. So I tried lowering it to 1366x768 and set everything at high + FXAA. the game was running good still at 50 to 60 fps but boy oh boy it looked quite horrible. Edges are everywhere and the game was quite blurry. so what I'm asking is, is there an option in the graphic settings that indicate that game runs okay at lower res? or the game runs better at higher res? (also I'm using a laptop that has a gtx 960m on it) or perhaps it really just depends on the game's graphics on the way how the developers made it ? I think it seems cool that Geforce experience can determine if the game would look good even at lower res like witcher 3.
  18. I've never had this issue before. have you tried updating windows? patches might help
  19. it is but. I'm also trying to learn ubuntu's interface and troubleshoot for a few months its like training myself. as someone who works in the IT industry its kinda frustrating knowing the fact that you only know windows, windows server and a bit of OS X so I've challenged myself in learning ubuntu and other linux distros.
  20. mhm yeah External BD would be the better option
  21. TBH, I do have my fair share of fixing computers and laptops and there are times that I really need a cd drive because of drivers. its cheap so I don't see a reason not to get it except you don't want to see extra sata clutter in your computer
  22. I would change the power supply since "Iball" who I've never heard of before might be a generic power supply. you don't want that paired with your rx 470
