    Word docs

    many thanks for responding and trying to help me. the problem is that all of the docs in various folders that were word docs are no longer word docs - they only open on wordpad (and so parts of the docs cannot be seen). does anyone know why that would
    happen?

    I actually don't know if I have a current subscription to office.

    thanks again for any help anyone can give

    Blue Screen after installing a 8 GB RAM

    Hello.

    So, my problem is that, i changed my 4 GB RAM to a 8 GB. Before, with the 4 GB RAM I was playing on GTA 5 and it was slow but it worked. Now, I changed my old 4gb ram to the 8 gb and now it works well on higher graphics but after some minutes it stops and
    there's the blue screen.. I bought a DDR3L RAM. It works but in this game it fails.. I don't know what could be the issue :/ Can anybody help me, please ? (Sorry for my english :/ )

    SSD vs. RAM for Gaming

    16 GB RAM is plenty for gaming. 32 GB of RAM is overkill. Better to put the money into other options. Because you are asking if 64 GB RAM for a gaming laptop is a good idea I am wondering how balanced the rest of the options you are considering for this laptop are. Would you list the site you are looking at and let us have a look at what you are thinking you want for GPU and CPU.
