  1. Update: Thankfully I did a bit more research before going to the Verizon store because 3G phones are no longer being supported by Verizon so there is no way I can get this phone activated.
  2. Thankfully I use Verizon as my carrier so I will go to the Verizon store tomorrow and ask about it. Thank you!
  3. Hello good people of this forum I am almost positive no one here will be able to answer this, but I am here to try anyways. I very recently broke my phone, and because being in contact with people is important for me, I needed a new one ASAP. Although I will definitely buy myself a new one soon, my grandfather gave me his old one that I can use for a week or so. The only problem is, the phone he gave me is a Samsung SCH-i760... from 2007. And although I am perfectly fine with using it, that phone does not have an SIM card slot, therefore the process of me moving that data to the phone is proving to be hard. Does anyone know how to help with this? If not, I am not able to call or text on the device making it basically useless. Thanks! TL;DR How can I switch from a phone with a SIM card to a phone without?
  4. Not sure if I have to the provided template but here we go. Just ordered the parts for a new rig. I paid about $900 ($940 with shipping). From what I know, it's a pretty well rounded build. Since the Ryzen 5 3600 is becoming harder to get right now, I went for a i5 10400F paired with a from what I know to be a decent B460 board. I added 1TB of NVME storage because I already have an HDD from my old rig and want plenty of SSD storage for all of my games. I think the 5600 XT is also a good steal for $300. Although I already ordered the parts, if anyone has any somewhat substantial changes to the build, I could always return and reorder things. Thank you!

  5. Starting the system without the usb shows the reason I knew to try to reinstall windows in the first place. It says there is no bootable device
  6. I’ve been trying to. I plug the usb into the laptop and change the boot drive to it and it just gets stuck in a infinite boot loop. Not sure why it wouldn’t just go back to the windows installer. I need to figure out a way to wipe the drive so I can basically start over.
  7. I guess I forgot to mention that in the thread. When I charged the laptop back up and plugged back in the usb that’s what happened. It gets stuck on the boot screen. I think I screwed it up because the laptop died like halfway through installing windows
  8. I got an old laptop and I’ve been trying to fix it. Since it wouldn’t boot into windows when I turned it on, I decided to reinstall windows onto it with a usb drive. The problem is that after plugging in the usb and going through the process of installing windows, the laptop ran out of battery during the installation. Ever since that has happened and I charged the laptop, it is stuck on the manufacturers boot screen infinitely loading. I’ve tried to open startup repair but I’ve had no luck. Bios works fine though.
  9. Thanks for the answers guys! Btw this was just something I was curious about and I don't actually have a pc with 1 8gb stick.
  10. Just a quick question I have. Say I have a pc with one 8gb stick of 2400mhz C16 ram. If I want to add another 8gbs onto the pc, but cant get the same model of ram I already have, is mixing ram fine? Like if I get another ram stick off of amazon with the exact same speed and latency, will there be any problems? Is there any other spec I should be matching as well? (Voltage?) Obviously they are both gonna have to be ddr4.
  11. My computer blue screened out of the blue this morning. (I believe the stop code was MEMORY_MANAGEMENT) and even though it was supposed to restart like blue screens usually do, my computer stayed on with no output from my monitors nor keyboard and mouse. I’ve tried everything including reseating the ram, reseating the graphics card, and taking out the CMOS battery. No matter what, my computer when turned on, will seem like it works perfectly fine, but actually give no signal to my monitor and no power to my peripherals. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. (Keep in mind my monitor doesn’t display so don’t tell me to boot into safe mode or nonsense like that)
  12. My friends budget is around $1200 so I made him this parts list. Decided only to go with a R5 3600 instead of a R7 3700x to have extra money for the 2070 super. Also yes I know the h510 is a generic and overused case but I still went for it since it will be my friends first build and I don’t want the case to be too confusing or overwhelming. Edit: also decided to keep him with the stock cooler since he won’t be overclocking and it saves around $40 PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor $166.89 @ Walmart Motherboard MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard $114.99 @ Best Buy Memory G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory $79.99 @ Newegg Storage Western Digital Blue 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive $69.99 @ Newegg Storage Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $54.99 @ Newegg Video Card Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB WINDFORCE OC 3X Video Card $499.99 @ B&H Case NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case $69.99 @ Best Buy Power Supply Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply $99.99 @ Best Buy Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $1156.82 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-06-11 23:11 EDT-0400
  13. I setup a build for $1000. Is it good or are there things that I should change? The custom CPU I added is the Ryzen 5 1600 AF since it goes for $85 on amazon and has 16c/12t. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K4QLHB
  14. I'm not too experienced in overclocking so I need to watch videos to explain how to do it. In the videos, the core and memory clock values are labeled as +0 and you can just increment them by any number. In my afterburner, the values on the core and memory clocks just show their normal clocks and when you try to add on to them by typing in numbers like in the videos they just drop down to the lowest clock. I don't know if there is a setting or something but I can't really overclock if my afterburner isn't working the same as in the videos explaining to me how to do it. Thanks in advance! (I probably sound so stupid to all of you guys reading this thread)
  15. I’ve alreayd tried that also. I took out the gpu and I would get signal but it would bring me to that troubleshoot screen
