I have a laptop with HDD currently running windows 10 I'm planning on putting a SSD ( in place of optical drive) on this SSD I want to install Ubuntu. For initial few days when I'm setting up my developer environment in linux I want to dual boot after that I want to completely erase all traces of windows from HDD and keep Ubuntu as only OS. But I don't want to loose the data on other partitions. I'm no sure How I can link the dual boot in different drives and especially not sure how to completely erase windows. I don't want to format the old HDD in linux file system ( since then I will have to format it completely) I don't mind formatting SSD. Can someone help me here. Maybe point to some resources ?

Ohh I see

If I put it back will it cause same problem later ?

Yes I removed CMOS and PC booted

You mean remove CMOS or replace it ?

No nothing like that I haven't even opend case for 5-6 months it just suddenly stopped

My desktop pc suddenly stopped working I press boot button no response I opened cabinet and noticed when I press button no fan are spinning nothing is working everything silent I tried few thing 1) checked PSU and its perfectly fine (connected 15-16 pin together and fan of PSU spin) 2) checked power on button on cabinet it work perfectly also ( tested it by connecting button to external Led circuit ) Whenever I switch on supply from board before even pressing power on button a light on Motherboard glows and that's it nothing else happens No fan spins , No beeps nothing boot up nor PSU fan nor CPU or GPU fan everything sits still What might be the problem Specs CPU - i3 2200 GPU - gtx 1050 PSU - xpro 500 watt

My Gaming PC (ohh ! i don't even have one) sorry my Shitato laptop even gets Fungus all over it in Rainy days i have to specifically turn off trackpad because it was behaving randomly also water was coming out from it just Mumbai monsoon things ?????? Hope I win Because that's my only hope to play MHW and new iceborne ??

My Laptop suddenly started behaving weirdly Right click of mouse continuously happening randomly Things I have checked 1) no problem with external mouse 2) no software problem (since I have both ubuntu and windows same problem persists in both os) What might be causing it Is it's short circuit or Loose connection in trackpad Or moisture since there lot of humidity in here Plz help

definitely, it will but we have to wait for sure since CDproject has a reputation of optimizing their graphic pretty well

Go for Gt 1030 or gtx 750 Ti for lilttle higher performance but dont expect to run modern Titles because even if this gpus are capable of running them on low - med setting at 30 fps due to old CPU won't be able to cope up with the performance of those cards there will definitely be bottlenecking but both gpu will increase performance significantly over GT 710

upgrading to 1660 won't improve performance significantly You better of with 1060 there only 10-15 % performance improvement you gain over 1060 which is not a good value for money since you will only gain 4-5 fps average . If you are going to upgrade it go with rtx card or 1660 Ti else just stick with 1060

yes that is definitely a thing but I am more concerned with GPU I ran a few test I realize GPU does get hot when motherboard is given start signal and also fan on GPU spins but there isnt any display o/p So I am concerned if the GPU is faulty or not

PSU is actually very old and whole system is old actually i3 2100 4 Gb ram Gtx 1050 2 gb mini Psu is from my older Pc it had Pentium 4 and Gt 210 with 2 gb ram

Yes I intend to replace it immediately and will get something good with 24 pin

everything else Seems fine to me because PC run no problem without GPU but I will verify everything one more time since 20 pin connector wasnt noticed until now

Thanks For the Help people. I will try my best testing it but first I'll change the PSU

Ok Thanks for the help I will try best to test it out

Yes I get the point PSU need to be changed but I'm more concerned with Gtx 1050 since it is more costlier component

Yes it is very old I live in kind technologically backward region Before getting i3 2100 which is currently istalled in system i had pentium 4 and GT210

Its not from a respectable brand It is from Enhance Company which I guess a local Brand it has model no ATX-2300f and is of 300 w

I had Zotac GTX 1050 2GB mini for almost 2 years it worked fine no random Restarts but suddenly it stopped working. It is't givining black screen it just ain't booting at all monitor turn off so heres what excately happening 1) If graphics card is inserted computer just dont boot up neither from GPU output nor motherboard output.(which technically should work) monitor shows message "Power Saving mode" which is unusual because it show No Signal if its VGA pin is not connnected (both messages are monitor generated ) 2)If Graphics card is removed from system then only System boot No problem This concern me since pc wont boot even if the monitor is connected to motherboard if GPU is inserted So is it that my Graphics card is out of service or I'm lacking power Also I noticed that motherboard has 24 pin connector but it is connected with 20 pin connector and 4 pins are open and my PSU dont have 24 pin connector since its old and it is of 300 W but It worked well for 2 years i dont understand what excatly wrong
