  1. I need help with fresh install


    My computer was not running my games well, so i tried installing new drivers. (I have a Gtx 970) The driver completely messed up my native resolution from 1600x900 to 1600x1200. I went into device manager and uninstalled the driver, and restarted so i could get the default driver back. That still didnt work. When I looked into device manager, the section "Display adapters" was completely gone. My computer was running very slow and i couldnt play anything. I decided to back my files up and do a complete wipe of the harddrive (there wasnt much on it), but for some reason, when it was almost done or finished with recovery, it blue screened, and i guess the recovery failed. I can no longer boot into windows, it displays the windows logo with the loading thing, but it doesnt even give me a chance to do a system repair, it just blue screens. Ive tried booting windows 10 from a usb, but im still met with a blue screen. My bios does not give me any choice to do a memory check (which saved my last pc) My bios is labeled with award software at the top. I am afraid i will have to buy a new harddrive if nothing works. Sorry if my explaination here is sloppy i am desperate.

    :)

    Fresh windows install help.

    Hi.
    I have Samsung Series 7 NP7005ZA-S0AUS laptop pc. I decided to do a fresh windows install so I used a flash drive to re-install windows (I formatted the hard drive at the begnining of the installation). When the laptop booted first time in the installation process, I got a screen saying boot menu but it's empty. I clicked alt+ctl+de, the laptop restarts and gets me back to the same screen. I entered the bios and made sure the hd is on the top of the list and save/restarted but same issue. I tried loading bios default settings and that did not help either. I noticed in the boot menu that there are exclamation marks next to the HD and the SATA DVD drives, not sure what that means but they were not there before. I honestly think a bios update can do the trick but there is no way to upgrade the bios of a samsung laptop without Windows like my case so I am stuck.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Notice: The hard drive has 8GB msata built in.

    I need help with fresh install

    Install Diablo 3 on Linux

    Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

    Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.
