Well, the Phenom II is only a 3.4GHz and the FX 8350 is a 4.0GHz. So far I've been seeing a lot faster FPS in the games that I play, sometimes even doubled over what I was getting with the Phenom...
I believe it was based on Windows 8 Pro, as I'm looking at the Windows 8 pro box right now.

Also, if I buy a serial key to Windows 10, does that allow me to reinstall it even if I change the Mainboard?
I keep...
I figure that Windows 10 has been out long enough for a definitive answer at this point.
I'm upgrading my CPU this week... Will I have to reinstall Windows 10 and will my current license work when...
So, I'm thinking about finally upgrading my CPU.
I have Windows 10 installed, it was done as a free update from Microsoft. If I change my CPU now, will I have to buy a copy of Windows 10, or I...
After installing the last big fall creators update, I'm getting mouse lag, not only in games but also inside of windows.
The mouse will sort of pause when I mouse over things that might highlight...

It allows me to see all of my HDD's and know what is on them and see which are the biggest offenders (in my case it's always my Steam games coming in at close to...
1. Save your game often.
2. Indeed as others have suggested it sounds like your CPU might be overheating and automatically shutting down at the determined temperature in the bios settings to...

Thanks Kari,
I'll give that another shot tonight when I get home. Indeed when I first installed 10 (upgraded to 10) I used my Microsoft account but then I converted it to a local account and got...
Hey,
So I thought I'd give Cortana a try since I can turn it off again if I don't want it, however I get to the point where it makes me login, I enter my email address and password and then it takes...
Ya, my laptop's upgrade still isn't ready yet either. I suppose I could force it with the MCK that I've got on a USB but I'm really not in any great hurry as I've heard some folks talking about how...
Hey,
Just sort of curious, I noticed that in disk management that I had 4 drives listed
C:
GAMES (H:)
STORAGE (F:)
HONDA AND VOLVO (D:)
But then there was another drive simply listed as...
Okay, so there seems to be a lot of tasks under media center. I don't want to mess things up so am I really to delete "ALL" of these tasks:

Yes, this was an upgrade. I'm not prepared to...
Hi,
Still trying to figure out what it is that keeps waking up my computer from sleep.
I looked in the event logs and found this:
The system has returned from a low power state.
Sleep...
Yeah sadly, it was with a giant chain store that have a few stores in the surrounding 50 miles from me and the the first set that I returned I had to drive to one of their other stores further away...
Memory is funny that way sometimes.
What do you suppose the chances are that you go buy 2 sticks of 8GB of RAM and run MemTest 86+ on them and it finds errors on both sticks, AND you then return...
It does indeed sound like a virus or malware on your system. It may not be homing in on the start button but it sounds like it's homing in where the start button should normally be so... same thing...
While we could clean install 8, we're trying to avoid that, we were hoping there was some way to "upgrade" from 10 to 8 pro and not lose all of our installed programs, settings, etc.
I may try the...
Hey,
So we have one of computers that was using Windows 7 and we upgraded it to Windows 10.
Now I just found that we have an extra copy of Windows 8 Pro that I bought when it first came out...
That would explain why my partners computer doesn't have an expiration date on his copy of W10.
I have to admit, I'm surprised that Microsoft didn't learn. Sure they gave us back a start menu but a start menu that can't be easily customized by the user without using a 3rd part menu.
I like...
No expiration notice. Shows activated with no expiration date so maybe those that wrote those articles saying if you have Vista or XP and get into the insider preview before xxx date it will...
Okay, we'll check it next time that he turns on his computer. No harm if it is an expiration copy as I have a copy of Win 8 Pro that I bought for one of my computers, installed it, didn't like it so...
So I'm trying to figure this out over here.
One of my partners computers was running Vista and originally I read that if he got into the insider preview then when RTM went live it would update his...
