  1. I have a retina MacBook Pro 13" Early 2015 running MacOS Sierra I was using my computer and all of a sudden the screen just faded to black like it was going to sleep but everything else was functional, and the backlight was on after pressing a key. I tried rebooting, as well as resetting the PRAM and SMC but all that has resulted is the Startup chime upon boot and a seemingly functional computer except for the fact that the screen is just backlit black displaying nothing. It came back on earlier today however returned to this state about an hour later. Is there something I am missing or another means of attempting to resolve this issue? Or is it a hardware issue? It seems like a software issue.
  2. try using another program like Unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
  3. Or if you just want an extra drive explicitly for media accessible by both, format it as exFAT
  4. There are NTFS patches you can install in Terminal in mac OS so that you can access windows drives, and you can download HFS Explorer on a PC to access mac OS drives Hope this helps and saves you from buying a 3rd hard drive!
  5. cheapest mechanical keyboard I could find, some MechanicalEagle generic blue switch one Easterntimes Tech Silent wireless gaming mouse
  6. Bootcamp is a Mac OSX exclusive program that allows Windows to be installed on an Apple machine, not Mac OSX to be installed on a PC. I actually managed to dual boot Windows and OSX El Capitan myself, using this guide from macbreaker.com http://www.macbreaker.com/2016/03/dual-boot-windows-mac-os-x-hackintosh-clover.html There are ways to partition your drive in Windows for Mac OSX to be installed beside Windows (http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/08/mountain-lion-mbr-unibeast.html) but it would be simpler to just install OSX on a separate hard drive. Here is the Hackintosh install guide: http://www.macbreaker.com/2015/10/install-osx-el-capitan-unibeast-hackintosh.html You will need a Mac or a friend with a Mac to install OSX on a PC because of the way that the programs access the install files
  7. I just saw that your case includes a power supply, and those are generally unreliable
  8. i would go with an Intel CPU rather than an AMD one, and also you are missing a power supply
  9. **in advanced boot options**
  10. Do you currently have a Mac or a PC? If you have a Mac, then boot camp should be cake to install windows through, as it automatically partitions the hard drive to your preference or you can select a new disk altogether If you have a PC, then in order to run Mac OSX you would need a second hard drive and essentially install OSX as you would on a hackintosh. However you do need access to a Mac either way, as a crucial part of building a Hackintosh is getting the OSX install from a Mac.
  11. Well if you're looking for the best out there, the MSI GT80 Titan reigns imo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16834154033 But if you're looking for something that won't set you back $4500 I suggest a Razer Blade Stealth for on the go and programming work and purchasing a Razer Core and a desktop GPU for gaming http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade-stealth
  12. open command prompt and type "diskpart" then "list disk" "sel disk #" (# of disk that you want to edit) "list part" "sel part #" (# of the partition you want edited) "del part override" do that to achieve unformatted disk space go back to disk management and format the disk and create your volumes
  13. I think it's a greatly engineered device and would be amazing to use especially since you can keep it closer that other projectors and get a huge great quality image
  14. I think SSDs are a great addition to any system and I would really like to win one of these because my dad's system runs slower than a pile of whale poop (and that's even stretching it) and adding an SSD would make it much snappier and less crappy(er) (had to make it rhyme) (what's with all the parentheses) ((((()()))())())()
  15. I think I'd like the Kova. either one would be nice considering I'm still using the generic Dell mouse that came with my first computer. B)
