This is a carry on from this thread as I was told I should come here. To put it simply, I started having regular BSODs since I installed my GTX 780, I was pretty confident that it was just a driver issue, and decided I would be sending it back as I didn't want the hassle (tried lots of things)...

I realize that the MS Wireless Mouse is not Windows hardware but I don't know where else to ask. The MS wireless mouse 5000s used in both my Win 7 and Win 8.1 systems ignore their power management setting that is supposed to prevent mouse movement from waking the systems from "sleep". The...

Does anybody think that the life of Windows 7 will be extended like XP was? I had blood work yesterday and the hospital is just now switching from XP to Windows 7. Given the cool reception and now hardware problems with Windows 8.1 does anybody see major pressure from businesses about changing...

I ran a test on the PSU on my Lenovo Think Centre M52 8215 which won't power up any longer. It seems that while the ATX plug tests good, none of the others do. I would just assume that means that the PSU is bad, but what throws me is that I would have thought that at least the case fans would...
