  1. I'm going to be buying a laptop soon, my budget is around £800-£1000 and i have narrowed my choice down to the dell Inspiron 15 7000 gaming laptop (i5 7300HQ, 8GB RAM, GTX 1050 and 256 GB SSD or the i7 version if i save a little longer) but the only problem is the TN display as I've heard that it isn't too great, i'll mainly use it for gaming, college and programming as well as taking it to university next year, so it must have a decent battery life and capable of upgrading the ram and storage. are there any other laptops at this price point you guys could suggest as i would happily get the dell but the display is putting me off, also if there are any users of this dell laptop, is the screen really that bad ? thanks.
  2. i didnt really have a choice tbf, also my pc is working completely fine its just steam what isnt working and reinstalling it doesnt fix the problem and any game what isnt on steam works fine
  3. when i load up my pc steam loads up and its kinda laggy then i try to load up a game it just freezes and doesnt respond, this has happened to me before and i just reinstalled windows, i dont have any problems with any other programs on my pc its literally just steam and im pretty busy with assignments so i dont have time to reinstall windows and download everything, does anybody know whats wrong with it. also when i restarted my pc it instantly went into CHKDSK then it was looping in recovering orphaned files so i restarted and skipped the chkdsk and everything is working except for steam. any help is appreciated, thanks.
  4. I managed to get it up and running by reinstalling but even after I reinstalled windows and installed drivers it still got stuck on starting windows screen (it's on that screen right now)
  5. I managed to get it up and running but the reason I reinstalled was because it kept getting stuck on "starting windows" and I restarted after installing drivers and it's still happening
  6. When you say windows install itself are you talking about the installation disk or something else
  7. The problem is I don't have another machine to do this with also I've reinstalled windows like this before and everything's worked fine which is why I'm confused as it hasn't worked this time
  8. Okay so I just put the motherboard driver disc in first before I install windows 7
  9. What drivers do I need to load though I haven't got anything installed on the ssd
  10. Fx 6300 Asus m5a97 le r2.0 8gb ddr3 ram Gtx 1060 6gb Kingston ssd now 240gb WD blue 1tb hard drive I tried the msoobe thing where it forces the installation but it just goes back to the same error
  11. I'm installing windows (windows 7) on an ssd with nothing on it and that error came up while I was trying to install
  12. Yeah I was gonna do that but is there a way to stop my pc from trying to go into safe mode every time I load up because if I can stop that I'll be able to get into my pc to backup some of my data before I reinstall
  13. But when I try to it gets stuck in "setup is starting", I was gonna try running Linux from a USB and then would I be able to wipe my ssd and then install windows
  14. Before I was gonna do it I booted into safe mode through msconfig and it goes to load in and just black screens and now when I restart it just keeps trying to get into safe mode so I have no idea what to do
  15. yeah those didnt work but i did change the number from 30 to 3 and when i restarted it did seem to load up quicker on a restart but im gonna shut down my computer and see if it works from when i turn my pc on and if that doesnt fix im just gonna reinstall my OS
  16. never mind i loaded up this morning and it didn't take 30 mins but did take around 8 mins to load up i think i might just reinstall windows
  17. sorry i forgot to mention its windows 7 and yeah ill give that a try now
  18. AMD FX 6300 Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 8 gb Hyper x ddr3 KFA2 gtx 1060 6gb 1tb WD hard drive | Kingston ssd now 240 gb super flower 450w platinum king and no i havent tried that.
  19. I've been having this problem for a while now, when i boot up my computer it stays on the starting windows screen for a very long time and i have no idea why, i was just going to reinstall windows and see if that fixes it but before i do that, do you guys have any suggestions on what might be the problem here, thanks. UPDATE: I reinstalled my OS and it still hangs on starting windows for ages so I have no idea what to do
  20. well id go for the 1400 provided my ssd doesnt break lol, i got a feeling my ssd is on its way out so i may need to buy another
  21. the new ryzen 3 cpu's are released on the 27th and was thinking about upgrading to them i know they aint out yet and there are only simulated benchmarks for the chips but would it be a viable upgrade from an fx 6300 or would it be worth it to go for an i5, currently im only gaming but i occasionally do a bit of coding for games as a hobby
  22. is there really that much of a bottleneck my friend has the same gpu as me with an i5 6400 and only gets 10 fps more than me on gta 5
  23. exactly thats what i thought i looked at benchmarks and the i5 performed alot better than the fx 6300 in gaming theres no big deal hes just being a bit ignorant so i needed some second opinions lol
