So my motherboard died, and now I found out that if you replace the motherboard on a HP computer then your copy of Windows is no longer valid unless you buy an exact replacement.

The only exact replacement I can find is $200 for the most basic board ever:beli:

They are selling entire new computers with the same i5 I have for $200. So I'm just gonna buy the new PC.

Now I'm gonna have an extra i5 CPU. Is there any web site I can easily sell or trade it at? Don't want to go through the trouble of eBay or Craigslist.

Windows 10?

is your monitor near a magnet or a speaker?
that could be causing the problem.
Nah, the right third has a yellow tint, and it turns on and off randomly for no reason. I plugged my 1440p widescreen back in and all was good. I already requested a replacement from Amazon. Here's hoping the new 5K is all good :sadcam:

Has that seagate 8TB gone up in flames yet? I have never seen someone with so much trouble with hardware.

First off I got this:

But you might say, that's just a normal 27" monitor Cig? What's the big deal?

Well, let's look at it closer

I gotta say, problems aside, this 5K monitor is the fukking shyt. Everything is so clear. I thought 1440p was clear, but nah, this is a whole other level. It's kinda unbelievable. It shyts all over 1440p (not to mention 1080p :huhldup:).

I can't believe how fukking clear it is. It's like having iPhone earbuds and moving to Bose headphones. It's fukking insane :wow:

I know a few of you have recommended the Zinus Memory Foam mattress but have any of you tried the Casper/Leesa/Turf & Needle of the world?


was really thinking of getting a Casper but that Zinus is half the price

I gotta agree with @Ruck, The Zinus green tea foam mattress is the shyt. I have no complaints. I slept on a tempur-pedic at my old place, and this is almost just as good. Highly recommended. I sleep so well with this shyt :ahh:
