  1. Game is pure vanilla. Have never modded it nor had anything hook into it
  2. Im an Avid GTA player. Its pretty much all i play. I built me a Gaming PC little more than 2 years ago with the purpose to blast games max without problems. Eventually a year later i came into a bit of a problem. GTA had absolutely terrible frame drops; But the game still maintained its high 60FPS gameplay; just with a few dips. GTA being the main thing i play and me not standing for this junk anymore, went out and bought another 8GB of DDR3 1866MHz DIMMs after trying everything. It fixed the dips. Now a week ago i launched GTA after having no problems and running my game with no issue at 60FPS ultra; And hopped into Storymode and was greeted to a horrific 48 frames. Getting outside brought me down to 29 with a high of 39fps. I havnt changed any of the graphics settings since finding a great 60-fps ultra setting (in linked thread). Even attempted to turn textures from ultra down to high which had little to no effect. Still 30fps Specs: Please help D:::::::
  3. This Asus laptop of mine(Asus UX303UB-DQ155R) was bought for reliability to complete my business tasks and my studies - But so far its just been really really slow considering its an i7 6th Gen with 8 gigs of ram and a dedicated GPU. When i start it up till i turn it back off, the HDD Disk usage is permanently at 90+ up to 100% Usage, without me even having run near any apps with the majority of startup apps turned off. Specs: i7-6500U (2.5GHz) 8GB DDR3 GTX 940M 2GB 1TB 5400RPM HDD I'd just like to know what would a fix for this be (And please; I know someone is going to be like "If you can afford a laptop like that; just buy an SSD" If that was the case i'd have done it by now) Thanks!

  4. Its working; and I can get it to do exactly what i want it to do (Push the graphics out of onboard VGA on boot) But i'd just like to know if it will still use the graphics card for processing
  5. I have one - But i do not want to sell this computer with so many loose parts. Its much simpler to pop in solely a VGA cable than this adapter and the cable. Shouldn't be necessary #JustSouthAfricanThings
  6. I want this computer to still use the graphics card for gaming/processing - But i want to be able to use the onboard VGA port for the main output (Yes... We still use VGA here; DVI is non existent). Currently i only see Initiate graphic adapter [PEG] with an option of [IGD]. I would like to know if i change it to IGD, will the computer still use the GPU for gaming/video processing?
  7. The classroom i was in did not have internet access and was basically running a plethora of LAN devices rather. The only thing im still uncertain of is how it worked just minutes before it showed as 'offline'
  8. The printer wasn't a multi function. Was solely for printing. Didnt do anything with software/driver related as i had no access to my normal troubleshooting utilities and didn't think about device manager at the time
  9. I was called out by my teacher today in class as i'm 'That Tech Guy' (Considering im level 1 and 2 Service Technician at local PC shop); to help her with her printer that wouldnt detect. She had a relatively old Samsung monochrome laser printer which has worked multiple times in the past. She had a relatively alright-specced laptop and a working USB Printer cable. The teacher wanted to print a list from word but the printer kept showing as 'Offline'. What she's tried and I've retried was to unplug and plug back in the USB Printer Cable; Turn the printer off and back on; and to restart the laptop. Same Results. I then went further to reset the 'printer spooler' service which lead to the same result. Printer troubleshooting for the Samsung printer (Also the default printer) did nothing either. Sure its now 10:49pm and its 14 hours since I've had that class - and im assuming the teacher found a workaround by now: But i'd like to still find out - What did i miss? What could the problem have been?
  10. "My laptops keys didn't want to work properly, so I thought the Q20 will do the trick"
  11. Thats what i've currently done - but i havnt set it to any modem mode yet (dont think its sophisticated enough to have that feature); Its working for now but then we're again relying on another bottleneck in the way The router thats dieing that we now need to use as a modem. Would this one be sufficient to work as a modem? Then its ISP - Modem - Router (http://www.tp-link.com.au/products/details/TD-8817.html)
  12. Because our DSL from the ISP goes through a splitter which splits it into telephone and ADSL
  13. Where would i go to buy that one now :/?
  14. So we unwrapped this router to replace our old dieing router today. We plug it all in and we get this error: That is when we have our 'DSL' (Because thats what my country runs on; and thats what the previous routers port it goes into was called) in the "wan" port in this new router. The new router is a Huawei Mediarouter W319S The internet light doesnt come on with the DSL connected - But does come on when its connected through the old router via a normal rj45-ethernet cable. The old router then having the regular DSL input. The box for this router shows something different though - Is this where PoE comes into play? I've never had experience with this kinda thing
  15. In situations where your sitting with a machine; riddled with viruses; malware; adware and spyware - What would you do? Its been a year and judging from your experience - Which program would you give the best antivirus award to?
  16. So i've done the "Repair MS Office" feature where it basically redownloads and installs office again - It finished but its still doing the same not responsive thing
  17. And now Safe Mode one is evens Not Responding anymore too
  18. I apologize - Just restarted and its still doing that
  19. I would guesstimate about +/- 50 times this year. I work as a part-time technician at a level 1 Computer shop; So
  20. 'knew' * And good choice of music btw I +1 this
  21. I've turned off One Note Notes about Outlook items and Outlook Social Connector 2013. The crashes are no longer occuring - Are these two add ins necessary?
  22. Yes that one works perfectly fine - Sending and receiving doesnt make it not respond nor does closing that one
  23. Will try now for you - Just need to restart because it just crashed
