  1. This is honestly really strange. Can you make sure that you have properly created a bootable ISO drive and that you have used the correct type of windows (64 bit on a 32 bit pc will cause problems)
  2. Ok, type Bootrec /RebuildBcd into cmd.
  3. Ok, try pressing f8 right from the beginning of when you are starting your computer. See if it brings up anything
  4. BOOTMGR is the boot manager. An error as you are indicating means that the boot sector is either missing or is corrupted. It's been a long time since I have installed Microsoft, but is there any way that you can access command prompt even though windows still isn't installed?
  5. That is certainly not normal and a first-timer for me. Can you check whether or not you may have any BIOS updates? Also, you can check for the latest intel CPU driver update and seeing whether or not it fixes the issue. Link to intel utility: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html
  6. To be honest, Xeons are technically targeted for servers which have high load and require heavy multitasking. You can try running a game on it as I'm not too sure of the outcome, but the GPU should in theory boost the performance of the gaming experience higher. I would give it a try, but you might be better off throwing in an i-series intel cpu such as an i7.
  7. To be honest, I totally agree with @Enderman. Boosting your RAM to 16 GB shouldn't dent your wallet much. This will help 'future-proof' your pc too.
  8. Ok. So by connected, do you mean that wireless bridging is enabled on the 2nd modem but you are just unable to access the internet?
  9. You could either try disabling it in the BIOS or you could follow these steps: [Source: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/disable-onboard-video-install-video-card-69176.html] Step 1 Turn on your computer and sign in with an administrative user account. Step 2 Install latest GPU drivers. Upon completion, restart your computer to complete the setup. Step 3 Press "Windows-R" to open the "Run" tool, type "devmgmt.msc" into the box and then click "OK." Step 4 Double-click the "Display Adapters" category in the Device Manager window to display its contents. Step 5 Right-click the graphics device labeled "Onboard" or "Integrated" and select "Disable." Step 6 Click "Yes" to confirm the disabling of your onboard graphics. Close the Device Manager.
  10. Actually, this video seems interesting and may cover what you need:
  11. I would go for Linksys AC1200 ea6300. It's cheap on ebay...
  12. As far as I know, not through WDS. You need to access your router's control panel and you need to set the wireless mode of the hg630a to wireless bridging. I highly doubt that the option is available as it usually requires a more professional-grade third party firmware flashed and installed to the router - such as DD-WRT which is what I'm currently using. You can for sure connect the routers by ethernet cable by selecting bridging mode on the hg630a modem and then connecting the wan port of that router to port 1 of the main modem.
  13. The Lenovo ideapad Y700 seems great: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/y700-series/y700-17-inch/ It's a gaming laptop.
  14. "People often incorrectly assume that a download speed of 1 Megabit per second will allow them to download a 1 Megabyte file in one second. This is not the case, because one byte contains eight bits. A Megabit is 1/8 the size of a Megabyte, meaning that to download a 1 MB file in 1 second you would need a connection of 8 Mbps. The difference between a Gigabyte (GB) and a Gigabit (Gb) is the same, with a Gigabyte being 8 times larger than a Gigabit." [Source: SoftPerfect] With you getting 500 kbps, have a look at your router. There are many factors that contribute with causing a lower speed. Low-end router mainly use only single band 2.4 ghz which phones and even microwaves can interfere with it. Many new dual band routers utilise both 2.4 & 5ghz. Note that 5 ghz is a lot more stable to interference but the range is greatly reduced due to its wavelength. How bittorrent works is that you are theoretically downloading something off of someone elses computer that they already have downloaded data - meaning that there is no central server therefore the speed is affected in this way. You need to look at your ISP (Internet service provider). It is possible that they can be throttling your speed for bittorrent as it is mainly used for software piracy and, according to ToS of some providers, they are greatly against that. How can you get a stable internet? - RJ45 ethernet cable preferrably cat 5e due to your speed. Nothing beats the ethernet cable as it is less prone of getting interfered from the environmental conditions. Remember, you will never get the true speed that the ISP is telling you. You sometimes may get less, or like me you may be getting more than your prescribed speed. What type of connection to your ISP are you using? ADSL? Fiber optic? ADSL works by sending data through the telephone copper cable which means that the speed is theoretically lower than ISP advertised speed due to little resistance to the environment. Fiber optic works by sending the data through thin pieces of fiber glass via total internal reflection - which results in little to no interference and therefore achieving the speed. You also need to be looking at your router. Stock firmwares on the router are a total nightmare and are the worst things I have ever seen. I own Linksys ea6900 and after flashing it with DD-WRT third-party firmware, I'm getting super fast speeds - although flashing is not preferred for the inexperienced as there is a chance that you may brick the router in the process.
  15. According to tech sheet, the I/O read/write speeds are as follows: Sequential Read/Write: Up to 540/5200MB/s Random Read/Write: Up to 93.5/75k IOPS From what I can see, it would be more than enough for modern games.
