    Solved Graphics Card Upgrade Problem-Nvidia GTS450

    I have the opportunity to buy a used Aerocool Integrator 600W 80+ Bronze power supply for £35.00. Is that likely to be of sufficiently good quality to power the GTS450 card?

    Solved Graphics Card Upgrade Problem-Nvidia GTS450

    I knew the PSU wasn't the best quality, however I didn't know that there was a risk that it wouldn't do what I bought it to do, i.e. to power a graphics card. One of the attractions-apart from the quoted power and DC output of the PSU-was the 6-pin PCIe connector. I'd really like to know why the...

    Solved Graphics Card Upgrade Problem-Nvidia GTS450

    Hello, so as well as having an incompatible graphics card upgrade, I may also have an incompatible PSU upgrade. I’m not doing very well, am I? I had no idea that there was so much involved in upgrading a graphics card. The original PSU was a Liteon 300W model PS-6301-6 with 18A max at 12v+. The...

    Solved Graphics Card Upgrade Problem-Nvidia GTS450

    Hello and thanks for your response. I followed the link which confirms that the GTS450 card is too weak for the processor. Whilst I don't completely understand the technicalities, it seems that the GTS450 card isn't compatible with the CPU. I'm somewhat confused as to why the GeForce 210-which...

    Solved Graphics Card Upgrade Problem-Nvidia GTS450

    I've been trying for some time to resolve an issue whereby my attempts at upgrading the graphics card in my desktop PC have been unsuccessful. The reason for the upgrade is that the existing card (Nvidia GeForce 210) isn't quite powerful enough to display all the graphics content in a particular...

    Dell XPS HDMI Output Problem

    I've just bought a Dell XPS 9560 laptop in great condition. I've updated all drivers using Dell Support Assist. I also installed the latest driver for the internal NVIDIA GTX 1050 graphics card. I'm really pleased with the laptop. It enables me to run an important program which my older PC's...

    Desperately Trying To Rescue Photos From External Drive

    Hi Bruce, both drives were stored in a place where there would have been no magnetic or electrical interference. I'm not sure what you mean about each drive needing a drive letter. They each have a letter. Are you suggesting that I format the drives? My understanding is that formatting a drive...

    Desperately Trying To Rescue Photos From External Drive

    Earlier this year, I finallly got round to gathering up all the digital family photos and videos going back a number of years. The photos were put onto an external hard drive and then copied onto a second HDD as a backup. The last time I viewed the photos from both external drives was around a...

    Solved How to Restore Data and Files From External Drive After Clean Reinstall

    I appear to have made some progress with the clean reinstall of Windows 10, however it has raised some questions: The first two attempts at installing from the ISO resulted in an 'Installation failed' error message. The third attempt was successful, however at no point during each of the three...

    Solved How to Restore Data and Files From External Drive After Clean Reinstall

    Ok, I have a thumb drive. however it's the only one I have. At the time when I was backing up the system and disc, I downloaded the Windows 10 ISO to a DVD. Please see screenshot of DVD contents. I'm aware that if I boot from the DVD, I will have to change the boot device order in the BIOS. Will...

    Solved How to Restore Data and Files From External Drive After Clean Reinstall

    Hi, screenshot attached as requested. Just prior to receiving your last post, I attempted to reset Windows. It began to go through the process, but stopped, advising me that it isn't possible to carry out a reset. I think that's an indicator that something is wrong with the installation and a...

    Solved How to Restore Data and Files From External Drive After Clean Reinstall

    I understand that it wouldn't be wise to clone a disc from an installation which has problems. Cloning individual partitions isn't something which I'd feel able to do. It seems then, that making system and disc backups is of no benefit to me in this case. With regard to Dell drivers, the PC has...

    Solved How to Restore Data and Files From External Drive After Clean Reinstall

    Sorry, I don't know how to create a partition. I tried the 'Shrink Volume' route, however it only gives the option of Mb, not Gb. Also, I need as much disk space as possible. Is there any way of creating a smaller partition for Windows? I have both a disc image and system image, each on separate...
