LMFAO.

Sad that he never even acknowledged this

Still so bummed that I didn't realise it was him sooner. Was too busy eyeing up an insanely hot young asian milf in front of me, and then had to exit at the next station ><

Had my 20 seconds of fame today, on my stopover in singapore I managed to brofist-in-the-air linus on the MRT whilst shouting his name! Should have asked for a selfie, but interrupting his family time would have been too much, if slightly less embarrassing.

It's a 2009 laptop that I got from abroad with a very limited bios that was (up until now) refusing to install Windows. The drive was seen perfectly in the bios, but neither the HDD nor the SSD would accept windows 8. Thankfully, I slow-burned a Windows 7 image and it's finally worked..feels brand new! Edit: What I meant by the first part was that I'm completely unable to find sata driver controllers! Thanks again all for your help

Update! So after first trying two different windows 8 images and having no success, I turned to windows 7. I managed to get as far as being part-way through the installation but in both cases there were somehow missing files from the installation..I can't figure out how to get the damned operating system to just install! I would try installing the OS onto the SSD whilst hooked up to my main PC but then it wouldn't likely be picked up by my laptop. Really running out of options here!

The drive is a 90GB Kingston SSDnow v200+, it was one of the first two SSDs I ever owned, I ran a dual 90GB RAID 0 and so naturally I have tried both of them with the same result. I'm in the process of burning off a Win7 image as I type this so hopefully that will be okay as I sure as hell cannot put up with a core 2 duo@2.8ghz with mechanical drive! I did go to the bios to see if there was anything I could change, and I have honestly never seen a more empty bios! There are no voltage options, no clock adjustments, no means of changing drive modes between IDE/SATA/AHCI, no USB config, pretty much nothing at all aside from the option to enable or diable external boot devices and a boot menu that lets you sort up to 3 choices by priority

Hi all, I have a 2009 Sony Vaio FW46GJ laptop (Was bought in Hong Kong) and for some reason I seem unable to upgrade it with an SSD. Any time I try to install windows I get a message saying 'Windows cannot be installed to disk 0 partition 1, your computers hardware may not support booting from this disk'. At first it was just when trying an SSD but now it seems to be doing it even with the original hard drive in there.. My question to you guys is.. is my laptop actually too old to have Windows 8? Does such a thing even exist? I've already formatted several times, tried cleaning the drive through diskpart, I'm out of options as I can't even seem to format my current hard drive and start fresh! Thanks

What kind of temperatures did you get when gaming...I'm very surprised a fanless heatsink would be able to cool a modern Haswell CPU at all, let alone a Haswell-E! Surely you must have been idling above 45 and heading upwards of 85-90 under load easily?
