    LCD Salvage - Newbie - Dangerous?

    Hey guys! So I recently replaced an old flatscreen LCD monitor with a brand spankin' new one for my desktop computer, but being how I am, I don't like throwing technology away. This monitor is at least 5 years old. It's an HP W17e LCD (240V). The issue with it is that it fizzles out upon...

    Frequent Irreversible Crashes / Freezes on PC

    I used HWMonitor to check my temperatures. The screenshot below is of the results. Motherboard 50-51C; core temperatures fluctuated between 50-57C; GeForce card 49-50C. Also, I have dusted my CPU fan in the past month, so it is not clogged. I will look into new thermal grease, but can I do...

    Frequent Irreversible Crashes / Freezes on PC

    Hello all! I have been having frequent crashes of some sort on my 5-year-old ASUS laptop. This crashing occurs about once a day, seemingly at random, as I have not noticed any specific factors (or processes/programs) that may be the cause of it. I'm strict on what I put on my computer, so I...

    Is it possible to update the default factory settings programs?

    Hey guys, I tried to make my thread title as clear as possible, but I'll elaborate right now in case it wasn't as clear as I thought. My computer is four years old, and I don't have much trouble with it, really. The CPU has it's slow moments, but it's a good computer. I do not currently...
