thank you.

Anyone know how to move origin games from one internal hard drive to another

@PwnyPony
 
For steam games, yes

Is it possible to move something like photoshop to a different computer without having to re-download it?  
Also could the same be done for a steam game?

@Frogster
 
Nice, thanks for the quick reply!

No. When you install windows you get to pick which partition you want to install it on and whether it should be formatted or not.

If I am reinstalling windows into the C partition, will my other 2 partitions get wiped? Just asking since I’m planning to reinstall windows soon
 
Also, yes I am aware this thread has been quiet for a month

Hope this page can help

I’m not familiar with radeon video cards and I need help.
 
So my new computer has two graphics cards; a nvidia 9500gt and a radeon hd4650. The problem is they don’t want to play nice though and I don’t know how to install drivers for radeon. Anyone know how to install the linux driver for radeon?

Well since it seems that chrome is causing the issue, a quick fix would be to just use another browser. As far as the problem, it may be that chrome just doesn’t play nice with your PC. It may have something to do with the windows update. I’m not all that familiar with 8.1 but even so it may be just updating something or changing to use interface. Anyway try a different browser and tell me what happens.

its got windows 8.1, intel core I5, nvidia geforce 640, 4.0 GB of RAM.
 
jsut as a note, this problem started happening a bit longer after my computer had a change of hard drives (cause last oen was damaged) before that, this enver happened, and i had windows 7, so ims tarting to believe it might be an OS problem.

@twistedmetalero  
Tell me the specs of it please. It sounds like it may be too low RAM or outdated programs, especially windows.

got a problem with my pc.
 
sometimes after turning my pc (normally after it has been off for a long time) i start browsing normally, and then it crashes, like nothing moves in it, so i excape, but when i try to open chrome again ti doesnt let me, so i use ctrl+alt+del to delete all instances of chrome in the pc (normally 5-6) and i can open it again, however after that sometimes it may doit again, and deleting the process wont work, steam will also freeze and it wont let me close my session or turn off the computer from the menu, so i turn it off manually and it works perfectly for the rest of the day.

Thread disappeared?
 
 
Rise from the grave!

I got a hold of a free laptop and I’m currently purging everything on the hard drive before I do anything cause I don’t know what the previous owner had on it.
 
Well my question is, well first of all I’m replacing the hard drive cause the current one is terrible, I’m possibly looking at replacing the video card cause the current video card is only 128 mb. It’s a acer aspire 1690 and the video card is a pci express. Can someone possibly help me find a possible replacement? I know in all probability it can’t be upgraded and haven’t really found one yet, but if you find a possible one to put in it can you tell me?
 
It’s this computer:

According to pricespy.co.nz, these ones do

Does anyone know of any socket 1150 boards for desktops that support ecc?

@jakcspellgood  
No problem, glad to help.

@someguy111  
thank you that should be all

@jakcspellgood  
Although i would recommend looking for a used case that can be had for about $10-15 if you want a new one I would go with this, it’s cheap and allows for plenty of room. It may not look like it but there are bays on the front, 3 5.25 inch and 1 3.5 inch.
 
You may also want a card reader

@someguy111  
ok i didn’t realise there was such little difference in price  
and can you recommend a case anyway

@jakcspellgood  
Sorry for the late replay, anyway the difference in price between a 500 and 320 is about $1 and the 320 is actually more expensive. Save a little money and get the extra space and go with a 500. However if you want more speed you may be better off with the 320 as it has a 64Mb cache as opposed to 16 Mb on the 500.

@someguy111  
500gigs is a little much for me do you recommend anything in the 300gig range
