    Best quality lowest size DVD rips

    Copy with DVDShrink then convert with whatever you like. Make sure the devices you want to stream to can handle x264 if you go that route.

    Hardware How much are these?

    Listing what we can get them for in the US isn't going to help you. Do any carriers in your area support the iPhone, even if you got one unlocked?

    Hardware BSOD - Memory Management, PSU related?

    What's the actual BSOD code? Get OCCT, then do a CPU burn in test, leave it running for at least an hour. If no BSOD, move on to the GPU burn in, again leave for an hour. If nothing, run the PSU test.

    Where to download windows legally

    Just clone the disk. http://www.amazon.co.../ref=pd_cp_pc_2 http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php Even if it's an HP with a tattoo, a 1:1 clone should work.

    Gaming This appears to be a virus!!! Help!!!

    It's Ctrl+Shift+Esc, not Ctrl+Alt+Esc. You may have gotten lucky and Avast! may have cleaned it, but I wouldn't count on it.

    Gaming Hard Drive Error

    It's a little more complicated, but you can run it from a flash drive. I have a nice setup on an 8GB, you'll need the iso and UBUSB, link and instructions are here: http://ubcd4win.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11375&st=0 - You won't need the kicker unless your bios doesn't support USB booting.

    Gaming This appears to be a virus!!! Help!!!

    This is bullshit advice. Check out the hard data from AV-Comparatives and you'll see that anti-virus programs are effective. No wonder your solution is to do a wipe and reinstallation if you don't think anti-virus programs work. Avast! is a top scoring program. Did you keep Avast! up to date...

    Gaming Hard Drive Error

    http://www.ubcd4win.com/downloads.htm - Download it, burn it, boot it. You can do SMART tests on the HDD with Speedfan to confirm a failure. File explorers if the partitions aren't corrupt, and recovery programs that can scan the HDD for files and transfer them somewhere else. You will need a...

    Gaming Computer hangs after login ?

    I find Speedfan's SMART test is the most accurate, much more so than HDTune's. So you should run the SMART test in Speedfan, and/or the manufacturer's utility, like Seagate has SeaTools. But HDTune has nice error checking and benchmark functionality. Chkdsk /r does the same thing. It doesn't...

    Gaming Lag Issue

    Yes, but performance shouldn't have decreased since your last GPU, you would have just hit a plateau where the GPU isn't being fully utilized (like it would be at 60% usage) while the CPU is at 100%. Power, heat, drivers, HDD (failure or fragmentation), RAM, pick one and test for it.

    Gaming Lag Issue

    CPU doesn't seem to be overheating, but you should still stress the system with OCCT and/or Furmark and run GPU-Z to confirm the video card is switching to 3D clocks. You also have a MASSIVE pagefile, which seems to be in use quite a lot. Do you see a lot of hard drive activity in games? Run a...

    Gaming Trying to remember a game.

    Kobold doesn't really help, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobolds_in_gaming - they are everhwhere in fantasy. If you can remember even a single line of dialogue word for word, google it inside parentheses. You may get luckly and someone could have transcribed it.
