  1. Activation on one pc but not the other


    So I have a pc with a i3-4160 that when I use my ssd on it windows is activated since I upgraded from win 8 but i decided to switch to a slightly older pc with a i5 in it but when I use my ssd on the i5, windows isn't activated. I dont need it fixed exactly but its a inconvenience to have to move my ssd over to the i3 for basic stuff such as changing my background, and if I can id like to do something about it.

    :)

  3. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??
