The Optiplex 790 is running Windows 7 64 bit. I want to put a 1TB SSD, load Windows 10 64 bit on the SSD and make it the primary hard drive and the existing 500GB hard drive containing Windows 7 as the secondary. I watched the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmFbrBkauBc and estimate the...

UPS ? by philo
I have a 500VA Patriot (brand) UPS that has been working fine for many many years. I have a "mini" computer hooked to it, one that uses a "mini" PSU mounted above the CPU which is also used to cool the CPU. It is very loud, so I decided to re-case the machine and use a standard PSU and the...

nVidia GPU reccomendadtion please. by ~misfit~[_16_]
I'm running an ATI HD7770 (with a QX9650 CPU) but the game I play is getting more and more complex. Also apparently it's better optimised for nVidia cards rather than ATI / AMD. So I need an affordable card that doesn't draw (much) more power than the HD7770 (~120w). Obviously it should be...

Keyboard Problem by [email protected]
I have inherited a HP PC 2026 that is working great even with W10. But it seems to have a keyboard problem that I do not know how to overcome. When I boot up, I see 'keyboard error' flash on the screen at the start of boot. Other than that the keyboard works fine when W10 is up and running. ...

"Ethical" Printer? by ~misfit~[_16_]
I've just junked yet another inkjet printer for parts (PSU mainly) and, as with the last one I see that there is more ink in the silicone tubes that go to the waste sponge and dried into the sponge itself than ever went onto paper during the ~2 years and ~3 sets of carts. How do they get away...

friend needs new laptop, recommendations? by Mike S
My buddy needs a new laptop, his is over 6 yrs old, runs out of RAM and slows down often, and crashes when more than 2GB RAM is installed! A computer shop spent 2 hrs with him trying to install more RAM, then get it working again when it crashed each time. Due to its age we think it's smart to...

Beep codes by Bill Cunningham[_2_]
Does anyone know anything about BIOS beep codes? Someone gave me a computer and it doesn't do anything but beep so many times. That sounds to me like a BIOS problem. Would that be easy to fix?

WakeUp Noise by SteveGG
About 2 out of 3 times, when waking out of a sleep state over night, I get several seconds of a sound, like something winding down. After, everything is normal. Happens only after an overnight sleep. During any other time, no sound. Sounds for all the world like something mechanical, but fans...
