    My girlfriend mentioned to me recently that she wanted to pick drawing back up again, and remembering I had an old monoprice tablet (model twa60), I dug it up out of the box I had it in and plugged it into her PC. Only then did I realize that the drivers required for it were on a disk somewhere in my parents basement hundreds of miles away from me. I've searched high and low online for downloadable drivers. The merchant's site has been entirely redone, to the point where they don't even have that model even listed, let alone driver support for it. The other sites claiming to have a download have been reported to most likely contain various nasty things that no one would ever want on their computer. I've contacted monoprice, only to get no response back. The tablet is usable, it just doesn't have pressure sensitivity, and that's really what I'm trying to fix here. Am I completely screwed? Or could there possibly be another way around this? We're working with windows 10 here. Not sure if system specs is actually needed for this one.

    I have two SAMSUNG HD254GJ Hard drives at 250GB each, will those be ok?

    Not sure, why do you ask?

    To give a bit of background I have some experience with PC builds. What I'm running now is a standard refurbished office PC with windows 7 pro installed, DDR2 ram that I had to cannibalize from another, crappier office computer, and a GTX 1050Ti I shoved into it due to the fact it pulled power from the motherboard and was the only card I could find like that that could fit in the case. I'm pretty proud getting this thing up and running, but I want to not only get something more geared toward gaming, but I also want that experience of building a PC from scratch rather than Frankensteining one together. I have little knowledge in the fields of what is compatible with what and stuff like overclocking, heads up. I actually posted a long time ago before setting up what I have, but couldn't follow the suggestions I was given due to some medical issues that cropped up and took up my time and money. Any help is greatly appreciated. 1. Budget & Location I am in the US, my budget is around $300.00-400.00. GTX 1050TI already obtained, graphics card not needed. 2. Aim System is going to be used for getting into Overwatch competitively and, when it comes out for PC, Monster Hunter World. 3. Monitors Really only running one monitor, it needs an upgrade as it doesn't use HDMI, but it works for now. 4. Peripherals I already have adequate peripherals. I may need help figuring out how to turn over my windows 10 key from an old laptop I don't use to this PC though. 5. Why are you upgrading? Looking to be able to run things at higher frame-rates. My current PC starts Overwatch fine at around 60-70 FPS, but after about 15 minutes of playing will drop to around 30-20 without any immediate reason other than old hardware.

    Do you know how I can check to see what CPUs I can upgrade into that won't bottleneck my graphics card?

    So I came into possession of two office pc's recently, both with clean copies of windows 7 running on them. I have stripped one of its ram and hard drive and installed those into the other. I recently purchased a GTX 1050 ti zotac mini since that was the only graphics card that a) fit in the case with the giant heat-sink that's already in there, and b) could power itself off the motherboard itself. Foolishly thinking that I would be able to play anything with decent graphics, I recently found that league of legends stutters and floats anywhere between 40 to 20 fps. Of all the games I expected to not work on my computer, I wasn't expecting this. I tested other games as well. Saints Row IV works fine, however Fez does not. This seemingly random selection of games that work and games that don't continued as I downloaded and tested them. I know now that it's probably some of the older components causing the issue, but the problem is I'm not sure which one? The ram? The CPU? I was hoping you all could look at the specs and tell me. I appreciate any and all respectful input. Model: HP Compaq 6000 Pro MT PC Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16 GHz 3.17 GHz Installed Memory: 8GB (this is DDR2, not sure if that matters or not, came with the computers) OS: Windos 7 Professional 64-bit PSU: HP 320W (also came with the computer, I plan on replacing this with a better power supply soon) GPU: GTX 1050 ti Zotac Mini 4gb Bios ver: 786G2 v01.09 I am by no means an expert in the slightest, so I don't know what is a red flag as far as performance goes. Thank you all for your time.

    That fell though. Since my computer isn't under warranty they wanted to charge me. I'm connected to the wifi again, but I don't know for how long, so if anyone has any ideas still let me know.

    I'm also going to try contacting HP themselves, maybe they can help me if they don't try to charge me an arm and a leg

    I read somewhere that I should try reseting my bios to factory settings, would that reset my whole computer?
  10. ramshack
    Couldn't find it on google and I removed my battery and had no luck there either.
  11. ramshack
    So that didn't work. Where do I find my wifi module's name, I am unfamiliar with the term.
  12. ramshack
    I will try the windows driver update first, I forgot that was a thing.
  13. ramshack
    I haven't done that before, how should I do it?
  14. ramshack
    That's the thing though, the drivers disappear entirely when this happens. My first instinct is to go and update them and they've vanished.

    The problem I'm having is that whenever I wake up my laptop from hibernation it occasionally (about 1 out of 3 times) forgets how to connect to our wifi completely, to the point where the drivers seem to be completely missing, but then after anywhere between a few minutes, and hour, or the millionth time I've restarted it, it suddenly can connect again with no issues. I don't understand what could be happening, I've already run Malwarebytes and my antivirus software at least 3 times each now to see if there's something malicious doing this with little to no results. Has anyone else had a similar issue or know what could cause this? Because I'm about ready to just reset my computer if this keeps up. OS: Windows 10 Processor: AMD A8-5545M APU 1.70 GHz RAM: 8.0 GB (7.20 Usable) System Type: 64-bit operating system. Any help you can offer would be most appreciated. I would like to avoid resetting my computer if possible, but if not then so be it.
