Using a default issued gateway [ network + router ] from cox. Monster internet speeds for residential area, like 50mb down 30up. When I use two ports via ethernet modem both computer lag when playing dota2. But if only one computer is turned on and playing dota2, even if other devices like cellphones and tablets are streaming video there is no lag. Also one computer gets consistently better speeds than another. I hate networking. I tried to hook up a standalone tomato-installed router but it won't work since the Cox gateway has its own software and can't be put into bridge mode. | ||

Win10 especially with graphics drivers still seems to be in alpha/beta stage | ||

Perhaps this version of the NVIDIA thingy gets the list of available resolutions from what's configured in the Intel settings tool for the integrated graphics? You might trick it into working by adding your resolution over there. | ||

ASUS Z97-A ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboard Z97-A and Intel Core i5-4690K Processor 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 eventually. I was told that I would have to reformat my computer after getting these because Windows was installed on my old hardware or something along those lines. If this is true and I plan on buying the motherboard and installing it before I get the CPU will I need to reformat each time I install a new piece of hardware? | ||

Sometimes Windows does not boot after being moved to a different machine and you have to install again or repair, sometimes everything just works. Windows 8 seems to be more robust about this. It seems people report more problems with this about Windows 7. It might happen that Windows works but has to be activated again. How to do that is explained after clicking on where it says that it's not activated. It involves calling a free number where a robot will answer. You will have to type a code on the phone's number pad and will get a code for the PC. I don't know what the activation problem means for the free Windows 10 upgrade. It might mean reinstalling Windows 7 or 8 and then upgrading again. | ||

Microsoft are crazy and/or incompetent when it comes to people changing anything with their computers and product keys - http://imgur.com/a/6v0jx - that's just one example but i've seen too many. | ||

So how do you go about upgrading your hard drive, then? | ||

In the Windows 10 installation program, you are supposed to skip entering a product key. It will continue installing without a key. After installation is done and the new Windows boots, it creates some sort of fingerprint of the machine it's on and contacts the Microsoft activation servers. It will then activate if your machine is already known from a previous Windows 10 upgrade. People say that the main thing about that fingerprint is the motherboard. It should still activate on your laptop after you have changed the drive. | ||

Same system though, same hdd, ssd, gpu, case, coolers and such (even same RAM sometimes) but the mobo+cpu combination breaks everything. Seems like microsoft support is set up only to help those who bought an OEM PC off the shelf and never touched it | ||

However, now I have a single much stronger (gtx 960) card that I want to use instead of the crossfire set up. If I want to only use my one new card can I simply unplug the previous setup up plug the new one in and it will work? Yeah i did sorry ~ You might want to uninstall your GPU drivers from safe mode and then power off before removing your old ones, going cross-brand can be a little bit awkward if you still have old software from the other brand installed. | ||
