Boumsong Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Just a quick hi-jack here. On windows 7, how do I control what programmes start up when the computer is turned on? Is there a funky ::/@/:://: type command thing I can enter at some point? Theres some rubbish related to phones/updaters/ask b*llsh*t that I want to stop.

xTommyTickles92 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Built a PC at the Beginning of Jan: Spec: CPU: Intel i5 3570K @ 4.5Ghz CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO Motherboard: Gigabyte GA - Z77 - D3H Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB Video Card: MSI Twin Frozr III HD 7950 OC @ 1000/1575 Sound Card: Asus Xonar DGX Power Supply: Antec True Power 750W Hybrid Case: NZXT Phantom Full Tower Monitor: BenQ XL2411T 144Hz Now all this cost me over £1000, but this is all overclocked and can run Crysis 3 Ultra at around 30-60FPS. Battlefield will run High to Maxed settings with an i5 and a HD 7850, in my opinion you are better off saving and spending a decent amount on a PC so it is future-proofed as games will come out in the future that you will wish to play considering that developers now are stepping up the game with new engines, i.e Unreal Engine 4 that will require some next gen hardware. Best place to look around, ask and get some good info would be Overclockers.co.uk and reddit.com. Also I found PCPartPicker.com helpful for selecting parts and getting a rough estimate on hardware prices. Sign up and post a thread on Overclockers.co.uk titled 'Help with new build', everyone will help and give you some complete setups!

MadManMike Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 After all that I read the title, 'Updated Bought a Laptop'! That and the fact he stated several times that it was a laptop he wanted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Problem... Laptop is now broken, won't start up and after an hour trying to fix it with my dad who's never failed to fix a pc before its still not working. Basically it shows the dell logo then a few seconds later it goes to the black screen with a black back light and does nothing. Ran a diagnosis check and everything is performing as it should, graphics card, memory, processor etc. Thing is, in the past it would not always turn on first time too... Dunno what to do, obviously gonna see if the place I bought it from can do anything about it tomorrow but if worst comes to worst then I may have to sort it myself...

Muel Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Tried booting from a live cd? It sounds like an issue that's very hard to diagnose without being on site though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 A live cd? Yeah everyone I know seems clueless about it, it's weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Look at Ubuntu, you can boot it from a CD. If it boots then it shows everything is working fine and that the next logical step is to try reinstalling Windows on the laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Okay cheers dude! Might be a sign to install my last copy of windows 7 windows 8 has been annoying me a tad. Shame it'll delete all my files though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 You should be able to copy the files from the hard drive easily enough, just take the HDD out and connect into another computer, either natively or via a sata-usb adapter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Yeah would definitely do that, just not sure how to do it with laptops. Shouldn't be too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 You might be able to copy the stuff off from the Live CD should it boot, I think I've done it that way before but it was many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
