Your main system DDR3 and the memory are separate things.

There is a possible upgrade path for your CPU to an i7-3770 or i7-3770k. You would gain a faster CPU and the ability to overclock with the K.  Youl'd also get hyperthreading which some apps use to improve performance.  Whether or not this is important to you depends on your use case.  On Lazada, the chips appear to be going for 2-3000 baht.  (Still don't kknow what your budget is...)

I still agree with Eindhoven that there's not really any point in going for a GT 710.

Maybe something such as a GTX 750 ti  would be an option for slightly more than the GT 710?

I'm sure you're right,  but looking at the profile of both cards seems neither of them have a fan, just big badass heat sinks  

They are both passive even though only one is explicitly described as such.

I realize it's not much of an upgrade, but this is more of sort of retail therapy for me than actually needing an upgrade.   

 

Yes I have a SSD but don't do any gaming, just mainly download movies 

Between the two, the Asus would appear to be the slightly better option as it has GDDR5 RAM while the Galax has DDR3.  However, as already pointed out, it's probably not even worth it,  What CPU do you have?  What's your budget?  This will help people suggest a good match on top of those already suggested.

Quite right, but having power to the drives should indicate that the power supply is indeed working, so even more confusing when the BIOS screen does not appear. 

Just because it can power up and possibly produce the right voltage, it doesn't necessarily mean it's capable of delivering the required current.

What is the motherboard model and what processor is it?

Are there any diagnostic LEDs on the board?  If so what are they showing?

Are you using a graphics card or internal graphics?

Are the fans spinning up correctly?

Are you using a graphics card?

Does your CPU/motherboard have internal graphics?

What happens if you you switch on the PC and wait?  Does anything eventually show on the screen?

What is set as your primary graphics adapter in BIOS?

Having a bit of a brain freeze, I just factory rest my PC, everything is fine updated and running perfect and i now want to use the debloater, which I have done before. My problem is I can't get powershell in my right click context menu to open debloater with.

 

Looked online but can't seem to find the answer. I have opened and run powershell as administer. I know it must be something simple I am missing.

I do not get your first picture when I search for user accounts, and cmd/net user administrator /active:yes denies me access even though I am signed in as administrator.

Make sure you run the CMD prompt window as administrator also.

There is a notice on my torrent website which says "you have seven torrents that need seeding".

What do I do about this? Do I need to get this Seedbox? That seems a bit complicated to me.

That (probably) means that some movies/series that you have downloaded in the past now have no one "seeding" them.  This means that there is now no way for anyone else to get a complete copy of the file.  If you still have the complete files then the "polite" thing to do would be to add them to your torrent program again.  You would do this by adding the file again as if you were downloading it again.

In your case, I wouldn't recommend a seedbox at this time due to your lack of confidence with tech.

How does the "Q" key "feel" compared to the rest?  Is is level with them? Does it feel natural when you try to press it?

Since you have already reinstalled Windows, it's almost certainly hardware related - maybe something as simple as a piece of debris stuck under the key.  This could be pressing the actual "switch" or pad on the membrane,  Best to take it to a shop if you're not confident.  You can prove this by following OneMoreFarang's advice.

As for your sound issue, since you've reinstalled, that's probably a driver issue.  Get the driver from the laptop website.

I don't use qbittorrent so I'm not familiar with it.  I've found a screenshot,

Try selecting the download you're having a problem with and then click on peers (circled).

It's also possible that you have a problem with something called "port forwarding"  but the fix for this depends on your torrent program, your router, and possibly your ISP.

You could try yo Google that one.

I have a spare tyre - ผมมีพุง

Got one of those already.

Thanks.

I knew the word "เหลือ" already in the sense of left over or remaining but I wasn't sure if it would work in this context.

How would say something with this meaning in Thai?

I mean asking someone if they have something surplus and don't need that they could "spare"?

AR is Aspect Ratio.

It means the difference between the the width and height of the screen.  

A standard modern tv has a 16:19 screen. Older TVs that were more square had 4:3 aspect ratios.

Many films are even wider on cinema screens compared to the height. Which is why they don't fit on TVs or computer monitors.  This is the root of your problem.

I've had a look at the site and they do have some info on the resolutions.

Look for 1280x720 or 1920x1080

That will mean that the video itself will fit your screen.

However, there is no guarantee that the black bars are not part of the video itself.

You'll just need to try it out.

Realistically you have two choices.  Black bars or distorted picture and fat shoulders. You're going to have to decide which one annoys you less.

You're also going to find it very, very difficult to consistently and reliably find videos that have been specifically formatted to suit a specific monitor size and shape.

In Thai but you can try to follow it.

Just for future reference, snakes are not poisonous ,but some are venomous ,

Whip snake,Golden tree snake, they will both quickly retreat,both beautiful snakes, 

that should never be killed,that's the problem some people will kill anything that

comes into their space and moves.

regards worgeordie

 

Just for future reference some species of keelback snake are arguably poisonous. They secrete venom they have ingested from toads they predate on - they don't actually produce the poison themselves.  They are also venomous of course.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Seriously, switch the phone off and then the router.

Leave the router off for about a minute (or a little more) and then turn it on and wait for it fully boot up and all the lights are blinking normally, Then turn your phone on again ad try.

Try the simple stuff first.

Paid mine as normal via the app, was hoping they would say go away, or discount it, no such luck, situation normal, paid in full. Maybe we'll get something off next month.

I'm going to say that you're the lucky one!  My bill (okay my wife's) is now overdue but the PEA  app still shows zero balance due. Doesn't mean that I'm not still paranoid about being disconnected though!

Just want to be able to pay something to put my mind at ease.

My understanding is that over 800 units gets a 50% discount rather than "free".

Forgot about the 800 unit bit.
