  1. Invalid Partition Table error

    I have a Dell E6440, and sometimes when I press the power button to wake it from sleep or to boot it up after shutting it down, it doesn't boot into Windows and says "Invalid Partition Table" instead. Hitting the power button to shut it off and then again to turn it back on will usually result...
  2. What was your most significant CPU upgrade?

    Pentium D & 1GB of DDR RAM to i3 330M & 4GB RAM was a pretty big jump for me.
  3. Lenovo used Windows anti-theft feature to install persistent crapware

    They do offer a tool that is supposed to remove that https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product_security/lse_bios_notebook
  4. Pole: Droid Maxx by Motorola vs. HTC One (Verizon)

    If I was going to spend $600-650 on a Verizon phone, I'd probably be seriously considering the Moto X Developer Edition, although they're out of stock.
  5. Survey: Does your monitor have backlight bleed?

    Yeah. It's an old 19" no-name monitor from 2006/2007, it's getting ready to die (it flickers on anything but high brightness). My laptop's display does as well, in the bottom right corner. I'm looking at a U2412 or something similar when I finally get a new desktop at some point. I might go...
  6. Does the GTX prefix mean anything anymore?

    Maybe then I can get a 660SE to replace my 6600LE. /s
  7. Is AnandTech bias towards some companies?

    First, the word you're looking for is "biased". To answer your question, I think this is one of the most unbiased sites for reviews of products.
  8. Best PCI x16 I can get to upgrade old computer?

    That athlon x2 will choke on BF3. My best guess is something like a 6670 might work.
  9. nVidia vs. ATI - Driver Quality?

    I've had occaisional issues with both, as have my friends. I think my AMD driver issues are more the fault of the fact they're put out through HP. My NVIDIA card was a 6600LE, so it was pretty old. My friends who've had issues had a 9800GTX+ and a 5570.
  10. Best Video card\combo for gaming rig

    I would always go with a faster single card and avoid the little issues and annoyances of SLI/Crossfire. I have no experience with either game.
  11. Have you ever had a processor fail on you?

    I had a machine bit the dust over the summer. Not sure if it was the CPU, PSU, or MoBo. I swapped PSU's, but it still wouldn't boot or even do anything. I didn't bother to investigate at that point, because tbh, I don't give a shit about a 6 year old Pentium D machine.
  12. How long has your computer lasted?

    We have a Pentium D system that was running fine for about 5.5 years, until the PSU (I think) gave up the ghost in July. I didn't bother messing with it because it just wasn't worth it. It really depends on what you're doing. If I built a new machine right now with a Sandy Bridge Pentium, i3...
  13. Graphics Card for Dell Inspiron 620 S?

    I think a 5450/6450 would be more than fine. I suspect that for the original CS, the HD 2000 would probably even be fine. The HD 2000 is far faster than a GeForce 2 afaik. Whatever RAM the HD 2000 uses isn't a big deal, since you have 8GB of RAM. A proper GPU will perform better, but I'm...
  14. My radeon hd 6670 is bottlenecked. Anything i can do without buying a new cpu?

    GTA 4 runs like shit on most setups, it's not a great port. My laptop's GPU should be a bit slower than OP's (6770M 1GB). Even at 1366x768 GTA 4 runs like shit with an i7 2630QM (turbos up to ~2.5GHz most of the time in games)
  15. do oem amd cpus come with a warranty?

    afaik, the warranty on the AMD OEM chips is 30 days, that's what I see on newegg at least
