Computers: Frequently Asked Questions

Try thermaltake, that's my mouse at the moment. Pair it with a good mousepad para silky smooth ang headshots.

Coolermaster storm. Just fits my hand perfectly

May nakapag try na ba sa inyo nung tecware pc case? pinoy ata may gawa niyo..

 

Maganda ba?

[thepressurebomber]

If AMD platform, I always recommend these parts for affordability and performance:

 

Processor: AMD A8-7600

Motherboard: any FM2+ motherboard would do, but I recommend buying a well-known brand

Ram: 4x2 Gb 1600Mhz minumum

HDD: Toshiba 1-2TB

PSU: 500 watts PSU

Monitor: I recommend 1080p, but 1600x900 is perfectly acceptable for budget builds.

 

Note that the integrated graphics here is sufficient to play most games at lower resolution. If just for viewing purposes, you can use 2x2 GB ram, and lower HDD capacity, even the PSU from the case is acceptable, but not recommended.

Good day sirs,

Question lang po... These past few months pag nagshshutdown ako ng pc, hindi namamatay yung green LED light kya kelangan ko pa i hard-shutdown (long press) pra mawala ang ilaw.

Ano po ba problema nito, motherboard, psu, or wiring? So far wala naman major side effects pero natatakot ako na bka masira sya in the long run. Sinubukan ko na po i-reset yung wirings sa motherboard pero same pa rin nangyayari.

 

Bought my pc few years ago.. I have a Sabertooth P67, Pentium i5, 16gb memory, thermaltake PSU 600Watts, and Asus gtx 960 (upgraded from gtx560 last week lang dahil nasira, white stripes sa bios)

it has something to do with the BIOS settings.

Try to load the default settings and just set your boot order to your first hard disk and let us know what happens.

[thepressurebomber]

kung hindi mo ma-access bios, pwede mo hard reset via removing the CMOS battery and replacing the same battery after a few seconds hahaha

[Dprizoner]

Question saan mas maganda mamili na makakamura sa gilmore ba? Sm annex? Greenhills? Thank you for recommendation

[thepressurebomber]

Recommend ko tingin ka sa tipidpc.com or kung gusto mo mabilisan, sa PCexpress ka na lang, OK service, pero kailangan mo bumili ng windows license.

Hi guys. Can you recommend a program to monitor my data usage?

 

Lately, i've been getting the fair usage warning from Globe, notifying me that I'm almost over my daily usage of 10GB (DSL). I haven't watch a movie or downloaded anything since February pero this month lagi ako nag-oover. I wonder if this is just a ploy for the users to upgrade. I want to verify if their tool is credible. I just called them earlier to check on my usage and to see if there's a link where I can check my data consumption since they can monitor it anyway. Pero ang sabi sakin di pa ako kasali sa accounts na na-migrate na with a dashboard so di ko pa machecheck ang usage ko.

 

Thanks!

What's your hardware?

Try installing it using the disk supplied by the unit itself.

Supposed to be, it has no compatibility issues. Windows 10 is backward compatible.

I have an acer 2nd gen i5 w/ bluetooth built in.

I just noticed it recently that my bluetooth is missing.

I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10.

So is it a possibility that it's not compatible?

I checked for an update on its driver but it's only up to win8

you can install the Windows 8 driver. It is almost the same in Windows 10.

However, i still sense some abnormalities. If there is an existing driver for Windows 8, it should be included in Windows 10 already.

 

Two things you can do:

 

a. Try to install the Windows 8 driver.

b. In Windows 10 device manager, try to scan for new hardware.

c. See if there is a switch (or a keyboard combination) on manually turning the bluetooth on and off.

Try to find the device manufacturer then visit their site. Look for drivers compatible for win 10.

[JRose]

specs: i3, gtx 960, 16gb ram, 250gb ssd.

 

question: anong upgrade muna?

[OrangeNLemons]

What's your pc main use for? I think your specs are good as it already is. But if you want to upgrade, I'd start with the proc.

[Google]

same question. what would be the purpose?

for performance, it would be the processor.

and you may need extra storage. i usually recommend not using the SSD as a storage space but on a separate drive.

[Alex2003]

SSD usually the boot drive. For fast access.

[JRose]

Moderate gaming and light demand programs, encoding. Already have a 1tb hdd for storage. Ssd is boot drive and some priority games.

Oh any reco for a good 27in budget monitor? 1080p gaming only

Last pala, overclocking... may nag ooverclock ba dito?
