Meanwhile the prices at Microsoft official store are like RM900+.

The ratings are high and it seems the product did work based on the reviews..but I wonder how do the sellers can sell these for so cheap? What's the catch?

Unauthorized transaction on credit card

ballistix89 — Sat, 28 Jul 2018 15:34:16 +0800

So this morning I was awoken by a call from CIMB, asking me if I had done any transaction around 1k online..at first I thought it was a hotel reservation I made recently so I stupidly answered yes and revealed my IC last 4 digits. Then immediately I received an SMS saying I have done a transaction at EURO RAIL amounting to USD 1k+. Whats worse is the transaction was made twice so the amount was total to USD 2k++. I immediately call CIMB to cancel the card and sent a dispute form regarding the transaction.

What I am concerned, will CIMB charge me the total amount even if I have not done the transaction?

USD2k is close to RM8k+ which is no small amount for me..I'm afraid CIMB is gonna blame me for saying yes to the officer who called me earlier.

Any of you guys have any experience on this? What can I do to help myself in this situation?

Any of your feedback is appreciated. Thanks

CPU usage at 100%

ballistix89 — Tue, 22 Jul 2014 10:08:06 +0800

Guys, my PC has been very slow lately, sometimes the CPU usage shoots up to 100% even when no program is running.
I've run Spybot S&D scan, the speed only improves a little, not much. I suspect there's some malware lurking inside the PC.
Appreciate if you guys could check the HijackThis log as below. Thanks!

Windows 7 64-bit installation

ballistix89 — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 17:33:59 +0800

Guys, I need help..I'm previously using Windows 7 32-bit.
Now I want to upgrade my OS to 64-bit.
I have formatted my hard drive to do a clean install, then I found out I cannot continue the installation.
It says "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks."
How do I fix this? My previous Windows 7 32-bit installation works flawlessly, I did not expect this error to happen.
Any help, please?

My problem is, when playing open world games like Saints Row: The Third or Batman Arkham City, the frame rate takes a huge dip, especially with Saints Row. To fix this problem, do you guys recommend me to upgrade the CPU or RAM? Thanks
