The weirdest crap happened tonight on my Windows 10... Start button and other icons on the menu bar not working... Anyone knows 'why' this happened?... I already fixed it... Just wanted to know why this happens... It seems that this has happened to alot of people...

its just a random bug in windows, most people who experienced this problem are those who did the upgrade from a previous version of windows

usually installing all the windows 10 updates fixes the problem, make sure you have the updated drivers as well

How did you fix it btw?

CTRL + ALT + DEL > Task Manager > File > Run New Task > Type 'msconfig.exe' > Hit Enter > Boot Tab > Under Boot Options Check Safe Boot > Click OK > Restart...

Once restarted in safe mode you will have access to the start button from that mode so do the same procedure above but just Uncheck Safe Boot and restart and it should be working again...

http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2016/06/amds-new-radeon-rx-480-built-for-vr-half-the-price-of-nvidia/

At its Computex 2016 press conference, AMD has taken the wraps off its brand new Radeon RX 480 graphics card: a brand new 14-nanometre chip designed for 2016 and 2017’s most demanding games and virtual reality graphics. It’s a card designed to compete with Nvidia’s mid-range GTX 1070 and previous-generation GTX 970/980, but at a fraction of the price. AMD says its new cards will be out by the end of June at a price of $US199.

Based on the brand new Polaris architecture designed on the 14-nanometre FinFET semiconductor production process, the RX 480 has over five teraflops of computing performance — not too far off the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070’s 6.45 teraflops, but impressive given that the Radeon RX 480 is aimed at almost half the 1070’s $US379 price point at $US199. AMD is being a bit shy with gaming performance benchmarks for now, but it looks good on paper.

We do know that the Radeon RX 480 will come in both 4GB and 8GB configurations, both using standard GDDR5 RAM rather than the faster GDDR5X or the faster and more expensive HBM used on R9 Fury cards — it’s the 4GB version that’ll hit than $US199 price point and challenge Nvidia’s mid-range graphics ownership.

Yo, got a question:

I got Dirt 3 and Dirt Rally on Steam sale this weekend. Concerned about the install size and need some direction.
Dirt 3 install was 6.7 GB despite the page stating 15GB.
Haven't gotten round to Dirt Rally install but the page info says it's 50 GB.

While my PC's hard drive has space to accommodate Dirt Rally, should I uninstall a few games I hardly touch? I just bought them to have legit versions of what I pirated.

Eyeing for uninstall are Double Dragon Neon, GRID, F1 2012 and the complete Race 07, which take up a fair amount of space.

I know Steam allows for infinite reinstalls but it should make sense to make room for what's definitely going to be played, right?

if your hdd has space then leave it...its really up to you whether you want to uninstall those games or not.... what you should be concerned about is if your pc meets minimum specs for dirt rally... if it does then game on!!!!!!

[Les Bain]

Thanks, yo. I waiting real long to make the Pike's Peak run in Dirt Rally, so I really hope the machine up to it.

[amd-dude]

Woi fellas, anyone want to sell me either a 240 or 360 radiator?

[kamakazi]

Why do people build computers with these cheap fire hazard PSUs... If people only know that they are risking their lives and property by saving $300... It just not worth it. Funny thing is most system builders don't even use these things in their personal rigs.

[sMASH]

Is like this, people generally don't know, and don't understand WHY should there be a difference. It just has to work.

[kamakazi]

I am sure that if you explain to anyone that they can either, spend the money now or save it with a very high risk of their equipment/house going up in flames.... They will get the picture. People spend on average about $2000 on core components, why try to power it with $100.
