For one, I am not convinced this is a Registry problem because that should have been reset when you did a factory restore. Are you saying that...
That is a very bad idea!!!! You, the user, and ALWAYS the weakest link in security, need to ensure good "physical security" too. That means...
There is no reason your system should still have these problems after a factory restore so I am really confused here. Are you creating more...
But, in his opening post, elcajongunsfan said, So, what gives, elcajongunsfan?
I don't think so, Doc. The OP's image clearly shows a SATA cable, not IDE data or power.
I wish the image was more clear so we could see the model number of the old one. I agree with rsinfo - the drive needs to get power from...
Yes, but (1) it is also a great way to have a highly destructive electro-static discharge scorch a Grand Canyon size (microscopically speaking)...
There would be absolutely NO reason to re-apply TIM unless, as I noted above, you dropped your computer and broke the cured bond. Cleanout the...
Sorry. Forgot to answer this. Note the GPU is the graphics processor unit. This is a microprocessor, just like the CPU is a microprocessor. Only...
Exactly!!! It must be remembered, and contrary to popular belief, TIM (thermal interface material) does not wear out, dry out, evaporate, go bad,...

I gave my opinion on that in my last reply. It depends on the price, warranty, and reputation of the company. If those conditions are met, I...
The initial times are often at really odd times, like 2:27am. Some will wake your computer, some will wait until you wake your computer. I changed...
The problem is, we don't know what "refurbished" really means. That has become a catch-all term to mean any product that was returned (for any...
I recommend you visit your motherboard and case (and other major components) websites and download your user manuals now. Then read up on...
Check the scheduler again. Often, tasks that are scheduled to run when your computer is off or asleep are set to run when your computer wakes again.
Yeah, get about 6 months too, longer on my keyboards.
I don't see where you have stated what you will be using this system for. Are you a gamer? My concern is your PSU. While Seasonic is certainly...
I think there is some confusion here. Touch screen support is NOTHING but a tiny, almost insignificant (for most users, anyway) added and...
