    HP 15-ba018wm SD Card Slot 'Issue'

    I don't know why I didn't consider a USB adaper. But Im gonna try the thing with the tape. I used to always have a short in my headphone jack so I would often have to put tape on it to hold the jack in place. Im gonna try that though, thanks Carnage (even though its kind of a silly thing lol)

    HP 15-ba018wm SD Card Slot 'Issue'

    I want to go ahead and preface by saying that I'm not really looking for advice to fix this issue, I merely wanted to share it with someone. I've owned quite a few laptops in my day, and many of them came with a built-in SD card reader. It's a feature that I'm really pleased with, and my...

    Hello to all!

    Welcome to the site. Cyber security is definitely an interesting field. Just curious, and you're free to not answer, but do you plan to work for the US government? CarnageX is one individual I can vouch for on this site. However, tech specialists are spread out across the site. Moderation is...

    Can I support 4k @ 60mhz

    I don't know why they mention DisplayPort on the page for the motherboard. It's like they used the same description for multiple boards "4k ready" means that if you have the right set up (4k monitor, proper cables, etc) then it will just work without configuration. For this motherboard, it has...

    sleep-wake loop/ computer does not wake up from sleep

    Well first of all, if your system is only showing 8 GB, then you either have your RAM in the wrong configuration, or you have a bad stick/slot. First You'll want to test it by shutting the PC down and removing all the RAM. Then take one stick at a time and put it into a slot and boot the PC. If...

    Can I support 4k @ 60mhz

    It's hard to say if it will handle 4k just from the specs, especially at 60 Hz. Your machine definitely looks capable, but your OS can be a factor in the case of smooth video. I feel like something beyond a quad-core would be very helpful towards your goal. One thing I can say is make sure you...

    RIG 500HD MIc problem

    You're in the wrong section. This section is for New Member Introductions. You seem to be looking for the Computer Audio and Multimedia section First thought would be to check your OS's recording settings. Then the settings of whatever communication software you are using. I know Skype likes to...

    the information sharing is getting ridiculous how to stop it?

    Agreeing with the other two replies. There are tons of services that want to link to your Facebook amongst other things, but I've never seen it as a mandatory thing. The only example of that I can think of is Tinder, which requires the user to sign-in using their Facebook account, and they don't...

    HP Touchsmart 11 Touhscreen issue

    Yes I have. The BIOS is very bare on this machine. There isn't even an option to set a BIOS password. Just boot options and some various bits of information.

    HP Touchsmart 11 Touhscreen issue

    I finally upgraded to a new laptop! Yay! I went to format the old one then remembered that the touchscreen goes completely psycho whenever it's enabled. I had it disabled through the device manager, but there isn't a device manager during the Windows 10 setup. Now it's basically impossible to...

    Can I install Windows 7 on a newer UEFI PC?

    Okay well, question answered. It's not possible to get drivers unless someone writes them for me which isn't easy nor something a person would realistically want to do. I don't see it as 'using' Windows 10. For me, it's more of a 'dealing with'. I simply use my laptop for communication and...

    Can I install Windows 7 on a newer UEFI PC?

    That's not what I asked. I guess I'll just go buy an older machine. Windows 10 is complete crap half the time. Microsoft doesn't listen to what their users want. I also hate the fact that my computer reboots whenever it feels like, and messing with automatic updates breaks other features and...
