Thanks for the replies everyone. I agree with the comment above about "how backwards compatible can it be?" Seeing as how UEFI doesn't work with Windows 7 which isn't all that old if you think about it.....I guess it is possible to install Windows 7 on a UEFI based computer but I heard it...

Hi, I've been out of computers for quite a bit now since I have had my laptop (6 or 7 years), and I haven't built one in longer than that. I have a question about UEFI. Is it just the motherboard that uses UEFI or does all the associated hardware use it as well? In other words, if I get an...

Is this what people find funny these days?

Haha, thanks man, good to see you too

Not read all 1881 pages, I know that for sure...lol

Yeah, I do remember you, you've been around for a long time.

Are you using the integrated graphics?

All processors are replaceable, so yes you can. However, I don't think it is your processor that is bogging the game down. 2 things that matter in games are graphics cards and RAM. How much RAM do you have? And as for the graphics card, as long as you have a PCI Express x16 slot available on...

It sounds to me like a motherboard issue. It should always work regardless if the battery is bad or not. It will just use the power adapter instead. As you mentioned, it works with just the power adapter connected so you know that is good. And it works with just the battery inserted so you know...

Yeah for sure...lol Housed can be like that. My cousin and her husband have a house they bought like 2 or 3 years ago and they just found mold in the basement, all inside the walls and everything. From what they say it's all going to have to be torn out so the mold can be taken care of. It's a...

lo, thanks! How have you been?

Maybe you could look around for a first generation Nexus 7, I'll bet you could get one fairly reasonably. It's not the newest model, but still very good.
