  1. Wiping PC and Windows install


    I am putting a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM into my system tonight. I want to get rid of the drive I have windows on because it is slow and very old. I also want to perform a complete wipe of my PC. Do I factory reset and remove everything and then remove the drive and then add the new parts and boot to windows usb? I want to make this like my drive are brand new.

    :)

  3. Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage
