    I honestly really like Virtual Shot, reminds me of the live pictures (I think that was what they were called?) in the new Lumias.

    I just performed a full, clean install of the OS.. And the problem is still here :'(
  3. Tomate
    I did disk checks and nothing came up Yeah, a clean install is what i'm trying to avoid.. Is there any chance it's anything else? (I know that's a pretty dumb question in troubleshooting.)

    Did that upon re-assembly (sorry to have missed it in the main post). The only driver out of date was my GPU, updated it, but problem's still going.

    I didn't change a thing, i just swapped all the components into a new case, so it's the same, functioning copy of Windows 7 64-bit, it's just acting up now

    Hi everyone, and thanks in advance. I had my machine running on an old case, it had been running for about two years without any problems. I bought a new case, so i took the system down, dissasembled it completely, dusted it off a little (with compressed air cans and such) and re-built it into the new case. Now i'm having this strange problem, where one every two boots gets into windows normally, but after a few minutes of functioning, Windows seems to stop responding (for example, i can't CTRL+ALT+DEL, or access any windows dialogues). I've noticed that every application that is installed on my SSD (boot drive) also stops responding. (For example, if i go into my music library, which is in my secondary optical drive, everything works fine, but if i try to access anything on the SSD, explorer stops responding). Also, when i leave the computer off overnight, as i turn it on in the morning, it'll boot up to the "ASUS!" splash screen, and then stop outputting video signal to my monitor? This is extremely strange, and is fixed by hitting the reset button. I don't think it's a MOBO problem, BIOS is all good. System: Asus P9X79 pro motherboard. i7-3820, was overclocked, but i took it down to stock during troubleshooting, so 3,60 Ghz. GTX 650ti - Zotac AMP! edition. Samsung 840 EVO SSD (as a boot drive, OS and a few select apps on it) TOSHIBA 1 terabyte optical drive. (Which seems to have no problems at all) Thermaltake 500w PSU (80+ bronze certified) Thanks in advance, everyone. So far, i've tried checking the SSD with Samsung's magician tool, and everything seems okay. I also tried changing the SATA ports on both drives (?), even trying the same configuration i had before the case swap, and still nothing. EDIT: In case it matters, i did remove the CPU cooler to replace thermal compound, it's working fine and it's got OK temps though. I also did an error check on the storage drives, nothing.

    It might be my testosterone, but damn it i actually like how it looks!

    Do you have any experience with these kinds of convertibles? I'm just curious, because on paper it looks like a great idea, but maybe it's just one of those things that, in practice, don't work very well
  9. Tomate
    How so?
  10. Tomate
    Right, and do you think the i5-4200u would be enough for something like Dota 2 to run okay?
  11. Tomate
    What impact would that have on day to day use? I'm a lot more concerned about the integrated graphics on the Yoga VS the R9 m275
  12. Tomate
    These two are roughly 1200$ USD after conversion.. I know this is not what these are worth in NA, but that's my budget considering the price differences.

    Hey! (Sorry if this topic is in the wrong section, couldn't find another suitable one) I live in south america, so prices are completely different (and in most cases, much worse) than in north america. I've got a pretty limited budget and i'm debating between these two options: Lenovo Y40: With an i5-4210U, 8 gigs of ram and a R9 M275. 1080p 14" screen Lenovo Yoga 2 (13) With an i5-4200U, 4 gigs of ram and Intel HD 4400 integrated graphics, 1080 13.3" touch screen. Now, i know the Y40 is just a plain better computer in paper, but my use case scenario complicates things for me. I mostly use my laptop for college and on-the-go stuff, that's why the Yoga appeals to me: it's a convertible. It can go into different modes and turn into a (pretty hefty) tablet (and i was planning to get a tablet anyway). So in terms of portability it's just plain awesome. On the other hand, the Y40 just has more raw power, and will handle some games in moderate settings a lot better than the Yoga. The only game i would really see myself playing on this laptop is Dota 2 (and maybe some others casually), so my question goes more into: Would i notice the difference between these two laptops' performance on a day to day basis? Would the Yoga 2 run Dota decently? Would the difference be noticeable in other kinds of tasks? I feel like if the Yoga can run Dota decently it's just the best option for my needs, yet, i'm skeptical of the specs. Thanks in advance!

    Hell, i'm in! I just realized i have no idea what Canada's typical food is, if this is drawn, you guys have got to tell us in the WAN show

    I absolutely love the fact that they've done away with the old screen!
