I just installed windows 7 from a SD card. Not sure why USB drivers that were slipstreamed didn't work, but the problem is finally solved

Wow, damn touchscreen. I must have misclicked the topic. Is it possible for a mod to move it?

Why? Is there anything wrong with the way I created a topic? Is it in the wrong section? I am on public WiFi on my phone. I wasn't able to find any helpful info that works before I asked.

Hi, people I got a new HP 250 g4 laptop and I am trying to install Windows 7. I am getting a missing drivers error even though I sslipstreamed USB 3.0 and ahci drivers found on Hp's and Intel websites. I'm working abroad and my internet connection is very limited. I tried some bug fixes I found online (changing USB port, clearing gpt, some bios tweaks) but nothing worked.

I would say power supply because it would look great in my black&red ThermalTake Xaser 3

The only thing we can agree on is that a was kinda harsh on Linus for advertising too much. I am a long time follower and he always talks great numbers about the forum. I did say thank you to people who replies and I asked politely for thread locking. The forums that I follow use thread locking to avoid useless flame wars between fanboys (AMD vs. Intel, AMD vs. nVidia, etc.). @Stephie_Girl If you work in similar environment, I would appreciate your input ;) @WoodenMarker That topic doesn't help too much. I am trying to help out a friend. Not too sure about the budget. Will explain a little better later in the post. @asusfan I guess my preference is not important here. I am an Intel fan, but I don't know if those CAD apps are Piledriver buch-of-cores friendly. It is not about my preference, but CAD apps preference. If they do benefit from multicore CPU and work better with AMD, then AMD it is. Not sure about the budget yet. I think no micro ATX. If maybe some expansion in needed one day... Since I think the budget will not allow high end components, I was thinkink no OC, no watercooling. Not sure about OS. My guess would be Win8. xx-Grim-One-xx and ShadowRaven gave their opinions. The only problem is that they are opposing ones. Since I don't have a budget (need to make a few options at a few price points) so I needed general information about those programs. First thing I did is I looked for benchmarks at Anandtech, but I didn't find CAD related tests. I would say that no matter the price range, the same generation cards should work similarly. Either Cuda works better or AMD raw power is better. Or the apps are balanced for both. Quadro is out of reach, I think. 7970 or GTX 770 would be as good as it gets.

Why do all of you say I was rude? The first thing I said was thanking them for replies. I wasn't sarcastic. But I needed replies from people who do run that kind of workstations for CAD applications. People who have real-life, hands-on experience with the CUDA vs. OpenCl experience regarding the CAD.

Thank you guys for your replies. However, I was hoping to get replies from people who work with something that resembles my request. I am following Linus for a long time now and he is so full of it when it comes to praising this forum. This is why I hoped to get a good and accurate answer here. Mods, please be kind enough to lock this thread.

Hi. I would like to get some advices about a workstation computer config. It would be used for AutoCAD 2008, AutoCAD Inventor 2014 and Catia. Will i7 4770 be good enough or do you recommend extreme edition or Xeon processors? Also CUDA vs. OpenCL (nVidia vs. AMD)?

Hello there :) 1) Thanks to Linus Media Group for providing amazing gifts once again. Also many thanks to WD :) 2) http://www.facebook.com/sima.kosmos.336 3) @savagevs 4) Did all three :D

1) HTC is awesome. I am already a user, but much older phone. Thanks Linus for making this possible ;) 2) Facebook share: http://www.facebook.com/nikola.djordjevic.3954546

Unbelievable prizes. Great job guys :)
