Question How to know if branded PC's m2. 2230 slot supports CNVi?

CNVi is supported. A bit late to the party, I know, but I had this exact same question, and couldn't find an answer. This thread was one of the Google search results, so I figured I should update this thread, in case anyone in the future stumbles upon it like I did. In any case, I decided to...

SAMSUNG 840 EVO What to do with it?

Since the problem is with the "drifting" (i.e., euphemism for "degradation") of the stored voltage over time, I can't see how that doesn't call into question the issue of data retention. Samsung's claim to the contrary is likely just damage-control PR. It may very well be the case that the...

Samsung Exynos Thread (big.LITTLE Octa-core)

Already? It seems like just yesterday that we started using 20nm, and 14nm is already starting mass production?? I mean, even Intel is just starting to trickle out 14nm. Did Samsung just substantially shrink Intel's process lead, or is this press release full of hot air?

Reformat Preinstalled Windows 8.1

Yes, it does. It uses a recovery image that the OEM has customized (to add things like drivers, branding, etc.). So unless unless the OEM prepped a recovery image without bloatware (seems unlikely), it'll include all that, too.

Reformat Preinstalled Windows 8.1

I clean-install everything, always. It's pretty easy with 8 and 8.1, though admittedly slightly more complicated than it was with 7. 0) If you haven't done so already, read your current key from the MSDM table. I use AIDA64 for this, but there are other freeware utilities that can do this...

Contraption Maker (sequel to The Incredible Machine)

Made by the same people who made The Incredible Machine. It's basically a modern high-def remake of TIM, with the same components, mechanics, and much of the same style, and it's very faithful to TIM. http://store.steampowered.com/app/241240/ Anyway, I noticed it because it was on sale this...

Problems with latest Adobe Flash Player?

With the number of security vulnerabilities that regularly pop up in Flash, you must either keep it up-to-date or get rid of it. Avoiding Flash updates isn't some "middle ground"--it's recklessness. (And as discussed in the other thread, the problems that you had seen with the updates was the...

Windows 8.1 connects to random guest network

The Windows 8.1 WiFi connection manager will connect to a network if and only if 1) you've connected to it before and 2) you checked the box to automatically connect to that network. That box is checked by default only for password-protected networks; it is unchecked by default for public guest...

Unintrusive Antivirus?

Who cares? AV is optional. It's a backstop. A last-ditch defense when the primary lines of defense fail. People who expect AV to act as the front-line and who expect it to do oodles of wonderful things are 1) deluding themselves 2) practicing bad security and 3) opening themselves to loads of...

DVR program for Windows 8 with on screen controls, short skip ahead (10 sec)

Any reason why you aren't using Windows Media Center? As far as DVR software goes, it's the best, IMO. It doesn't have a skip per se, but it does let you speed up playback and fast-forward. But for material that has already been fully recorded, I actually prefer watching using VLC (the newer...

Weird Win 7 black start menu/unable to open items

It's likely that the problem builds up over time until it hits the limit, instead of thousands of handles leaking instantaneously. It's likely a slow-motion train wreck that you can spot long before it actually happens. Just keep procexp running in the background and take a quick look at the...

Weird Win 7 black start menu/unable to open items

As I've already said, the symptoms are consistent with a resource leak. You're not going to find the answer in the event log or in any standard diagnostic. Download and run Process Explorer (run it with UAC elevation so that it can show the details for privileged processes as well). Turn on the...

Windows 9 Start menu, posted on arstechnica

Aero is still there in Windows 8. In fact, they removed the fallback mode so that Aero (which is actually the new compositor in Vista) is always active, even in a VM or over a RDP session (which, BTW, is fantabulous). What Windows 8 removed is the Aero Glass style. Which is exactly what it...

Windows 9 Start menu, posted on arstechnica

That... is already there in 8.1. Hit the Win key. And start typing. The only difference is that in 7, you see the text box immediately after hitting the Win key. In 8.1, you don't see the text box until you start typing. But that is merely a cosmetic difference: the process in both cases is 100%...
