Wow avast eats a lot of your internet connnection I did a test to see how my internet preformed with/without avast pro antivirus free trial. Mozilla Firefox. CCleaner was used before each test. Speedtest.net was the website I used Test 1: Without Avast Pro my speed was about 10mbps Test 2: With Avast Pro my speed was about 3.7mbps Test 3: With Avast Pro in silent/gaming mode and all shields deactivated my speed was about 9mbps I was really surprised by these results and didn't expect such a big difference.

Help no video on newly built pc I just finished building my computer and I tried starting it bu there is no video, no light on mouse, but I think the light on the keyboard flashes, what could be the problem. Specs. Motherboard: MSI H55M-E33, dual channel ddr3 ram, i5-760. The fans start and motherboard lights start but there is nothing on the screen. EDIT: No light on keyboard but everything hooked up works except those things. I tried swaping the memory modules and only puting one and stuff still nothing.

How to keep this laptop cool? I have and HP Pavillion DV2000, you know, the one with the faulty GPU causing it to overheat. I tried to open it up but stupid hp has some damaged screws on there which causes the screw driver to slip and you can't open them -.- so I can't put thermal paste on the gpu and cpu . I was thinking of taking some of the panels off and buying this laptop cooler;pagenumber=1&RSort=1&csid=ITD&recordsPerPage=5&body=#ReviewStart so air can get into the laptop and keep it cooler. The max I'll play on the laptop is maplestory and some boxhead bounty hunter. The HDD gets warm quickly and I was thinking of adding some thermal paste around the edges where no metal parts are, would this work? I know it is a poor

Would this be a good idea? I was thinking of starting a business on building computers. I could build a computer and add 50 - 100 dollars onto it to make money. If I built a comp for $950 and added $100 to that it would make it $1050 while at a store like bestbuy it would be around $1400. I could get loans from my parents and pay them back when I sell the pc. I would personalize each computer to fit the costumers needs and have it built pretty quickly. It would probably take me 1 1/2 hour max to build the computer and I have built computers before. This is just something on the side I can do on top of school. I won't have a lot of costumers at first but i will build my way up. I have a large family I can build comps for them and they would

Any ideas on taking out damaged laptop screw? I want to use my sisters old laptop but HP poorly designed the cooling system for the GPU. I want to add a copper shim and some thermal paste to replace the cheap thermal foam that was put in. The problem is there is a damaged screw which I can not take out and is the only thing stopping me from using this laptop. What I mean by poorly designed is that the GPU is 70 - 80 C on idle. I know people have been able to drop there temperatures by 20C by the method I mention. If I don't fix this the GPU has the potential to fry the motherboard.
