Windows Crashes at startup

Axel95 — Fri, 31 Oct 2014 14:23:34 +0800

I bought this laptop used pre-installed with Windows 7. So, after upgrading it to Windows 8.1 Pro, I noticed that the 2nd GPU(AMD HD RADEON 7670) has a driver error. So I did the natural thing and updated the driver via the update driver option in Device Manager. Failing that, I googled the problem and received the instruction to uninstall the device, scan for hardware changes and naturally Windows will install the driver. After doing so, Device Manager reported no error. However, after about a minute, the laptop fan started spinning really fast and loud and the whole thing just shuts down. I tried restarting it but it crashes a few seconds after the windows loading page.

Windows 8.1 Pro is genuine

Installed software:
Google Chrome
uTorrent
Spotify
Rainmeter
League of Legends

I think thats about it. Let me know if you need more info. I'm currently on my MBP so i can't post any screenshots

Lenovo T430 vs T430s

Axel95 — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 11:13:09 +0800

Assume that they both are priced the same and they are both in the same good condition, which would suit me better? I'm gonna use it mainly for Visual Studio work, some graphic works and the occasional MOBA games like League of Legends.

Thanks

Thoughts on the event? I joined in 30mins late so I missed out on the ios8.1 keynote. I'm kinda disappointed how the iPad mini gets like 10s of screen time and theres no update on the product line! But holy shit that 5k iMac

PC won't start

Axel95 — Wed, 08 Oct 2014 07:28:47 +0800

After installing my motherboard and connecting it to the PSU, I tried to turn it on and it work for the first time. The fan is running, LED is up. So I switched it off from the main switch and 5 mins later, it won't start up. I'm still waiting for my RAM and HDD to arrive hence there's none atm. The case is an Aerocool Qx-2000 mATX tower, PSU is Raidmax Cobra RX-500, motherboard is Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 and CPU is AMD FX-4160.

Thanks in advance

Shorts

Axel95 — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 19:51:57 +0800

Any tips on how to pair shorts with shoes/sandals?

I have some knee-legnth beige shorts with side pockets. I have a black dress shoe, a converse hi-top with the metallica burning skull at the back and an obermain casual leather shoe with beige laces and optional orange laces. And of course, a cheapo fli flops. I'm thinking of getting either a boat shoe or a loafer and probably a better looking sandals.

What do you guys think? Let me know if you need pictures.

NGD!

Axel95 — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:06:02 +0800

Finally got it today

After explaining how old the guitar is and the fact that it is a used guitar to the guys at the custom, I finally get to carry Arya (No comments on the names ) home.

The tone is bright. It is very loud acoustically. It has 3 toggle switch. there's a boost, coil splitter and i haven't figured out what the third one does yet. It seems to make the bridge pickup tone thinner when i coil split it. It only works on the bridge pickup. Gonna do a gut check later. The neck is smooth and fat. sorta like les paul fat. It is a wonderful guitar overall. loving it

I plan to jump ship(or not) from olympus to canikon territory and i can't decide between Nikon D7000, D300s, canon 60D, 7D or Olympus new EM-5.

so what do you recommend or just give me your thoughts on the camera for me to decide. budget is short at RM3-4k body + lens.
