Thanks for the suggestion.

Just realized my monitor doesn't even have an HDMI input—it's just VGA.
Any alternative for the card? Or should I just grab a VGA to HDMI adapter?

As for upgrading the CPU, I'm holding off until the next GTA drops, then I'm jumping over to the PS5. 😁

Hey,

I'm looking for a GPU just to run GTA V on some low-to-medium settings at 720p.

Here's what I'm running right now:

-Intel i3-3220@3.30 GHz
-Asrock B75M-GL
-8GB RAM

I'd definitely prefer picking up something new.

Thanks, it was set to 20 minutes, and I was just getting worked up because it kept flickering on and off. Thought something had gone sideways.

Hopefully, we’re all good now.

Yeah, sounds like it happens during startup. I did a little digging online and saw a few spots suggesting this might be a sign that the hard drive is dying.

I actually went to click on the drive, and the second I opened it, I heard that noise. Everything looked empty for a second before the folders finally popped up. Is it normal for it to stay powered down like that, or should I change some settings to keep it spinning constantly (if that's even an option)?

So, I recently swapped my OS over to a new SSD and kept my old HDD just for storing movies and shows. While I was messing around with the partitions on the HDD, I ended up converting it into a dynamic disk.

Ever since that change, my PC has been making this weird noise every once in a while—it’s that same loud beep I used to hear during startup before I installed the SSD. It’s a sharp sound followed by a few seconds of something quieter. Everything runs fine though; no freezes or glitches, nothing.

Anyone have a clue what might be causing this?

Hey,

Looking for some advice on a printer. It’s mostly for a student who needs to churn out maybe 20 pages a week. Scanning isn't a dealbreaker, and while copying would be nice, it's definitely not a requirement. Doesn't matter if it's laser or inkjet.

Budget is around $167, assuming the ink/toner stays cheap. Ideally, I want something that plays nice with those budget third-party replacements.

I spotted this one, but it only does black and white, and even then, the replacement toner is sitting at $60.

Is there a better B&W option out there, or maybe a color printer that won't break the bank?

rapidridge42 said:I'm running into the same issue. I have Bitcoin, and I thought the passcode was supposed to be the one-time code from the app, but nope—nothing happens. For Mastercard, you just register on their site. For Maui, I have no clue what the passcode is meant to be.

*edit: Turns out the one-time code from the Bitcoin app does work; it just didn't take at first because I probably waited too long.

How long can you wait before it times out?

I tried entering mine after about 5 seconds and it rejected me. Now my card is blocked because I kept trying and couldn't get it to work.

I’m looking into selling some stuff online and have a few questions.

If I list an item for, say, $33, and go with Cash on Delivery, the buyer pays the mailman those $33 and it eventually hits my account after some fees are taken out ( Question How much do those fees usually run me?). Also, can I set it up so the buyer covers the shipping costs too? If so, what does that look like?

It said March 31st yesterday, now it’s April 30th. You guys are really blowing this out of proportion...

Every time I hit "find more posts" on someone's profile, I just get the same error message.

Thanks a lot 👍

Hey,

I'm looking for an external hard drive to stash my movie collection on.
Need at least 500 GB, USB 3.0, and I don't mind ordering online if it stays under $167. Anyone got any solid recommendations within that budget?

Thanks

Hey,

I'm looking to grab another 4GB of DDR3 RAM. Any suggestions on what I should pick up?
