I have never laughed more about something in computers So my friend was playing Crusader Kings 2, and in the middle of the game it supposedly froze on him. He said he turned it off after waiting for an hour for it to unfreeze. Then he shut it off, he didn't want to wait nor he does know much about computers. He brings in his laptop to school the next day and asks me to look at it, and said there was a problem. I opened it up and turned it on, I was treating to some text that said it could not find a bootable media. At this point I asked what he did, and he told me the story. So I tried opening the BIOS and it was unbootable, that gave me an error. So, before I put the clues together, I attempted a factory restore. I pressed the factory rest

Slow Laptop My laptop has been slower than usual lately, taking about 2-4 seconds to load most webpages, Basil seems to load in 1 though. I had Avast! Free installed, and after I uninstalled it my computer sped up considerably. Like it was fresh new. But after watching a 15 minute YouTube video, it went back to what it was when I had the performance hog AVG installed. Any suggestions? I'm going to try cleaning out dust when I can, I understand it probably wont help much but its still worth a try. I also have CCleaner installed, but that doesn't help for very long. Its not my internet speed, since I get 1.9 megabytes down but only a measly 200 kilobytes up. If nothing works than at some point I'm just going to factory restore my laptop after

Unable to finish installation So I keep trying to install AVG PC TuneUp 2014 and every time I try, it cannot complete. It says "undoing actions" and says an error made it unable to finish installation.[url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2825354]Is it possible it has anything to do with this?[/url] I was trying a PC tune up software because my laptop has been incredibly slow as of late. This is on Windows 8. Other than the slow computer and inability to complete that installation nothing strange has been going on. I need

Thinking of getting back into Maple So yeah, as of recently, I've been thinking of coming back. I don't know what it is, but I've wanted to relive the fun times I had playing back in like 2012. Grinding was decently fun, but if I do come back I want a server with some people I can become buddies with, and go questing and stuff together. I have about 12 mil stored up on Mardia the last time I checked my account. So basically, I want to know what changed while I was gone, and find a new server with people that are actually social. This means I'll probably have to go unfunded sadly. :~(

Windows 8 Memory and Disk Usage I have this strange problem, It started today it never happened before today. I go into task manager and my disk usage is super high, sometimes it stays like that, sometimes it goes back to down to 0-20% range. Memory is being weird. It says 77% consistently, yet when it adds up the amount being used in the Users tab, it says its using 400 MB, I have 4 GB of RAM. Well disk usage isn't really new, but I never had this memory problem. Windows has even been auto-terminating chrome when I have 2 youtube videos open. TWO. Does Windows 8 have accuracy errors or something? I doubt its a virus since Malwarebytes and AVG having updated just before I scanned, turned up nothing. EDIT: I did a restart and now Windows isn

Am I being hacked? Do I have a keylogger? I accidentally accepted a contact request from a person with the username playful.fresh7, he didn't send ANY links, he just wanted contact information. I removed him immediately and proceeded into a call with my friends. As the call progresses two strange things happened. 1: A bunch of internet explorer windows opened up, I closed them all immediately with task manger. 2: My screen resolution unexpectedly went down. I turned it back up as soon as it happened. Then my friend in the call had a bunch of file explorer windows open up. My one friend in the call was entirely unaffected, I would believe it was him but I would need evidence it couldn't have been anything else. I blocked all communications f
