  1. My old fast PC.


    Can someone explain this to me. I have and old HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF, 4GB ram, 250 SSD and 1TB HHD. It goes like a train. I also have have PC with an AsUs motherboard, 16GB ram, 1TB SSD , 250 M2. I also have a Lenova E570, 8GB ram, 500GB SSD and 250GB M2. The HP seems a lot faster than the other two. Can't work it out, very strange.

    :)

  2. 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??

  3. Pricecheck on my old pc.

    `

    Hard thing to do
    it varies by local market
    You would probably get more if you sell individual (or bundled) components
    Suggest you see what individual components go for on Ebay as a price guide

    My old fast PC.

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond My old fast PC. :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
