  • How much memory does the NVIDIA GTX 560M really have, 1.5GB, 2GB, or 3GB?

    I have an Asus G53JW-A1 that can have its GTX 460M upgraded and the best option I have seen is the 560M. However in eBay and sites on Google, they tell me different memory sizes from 1.5GB, or 2GB and even 3GB. Which one is the correct memory size and why are there different ones being said in the internet?

  • My laptop hibernates on HDD, sleeps on SSD unexpectantly, and it happens sooner when playing GTA5, help?

    Basically, I play GTA5 for 10-20 minutes until suddenly the screen blacks out and saves everything for hibernation and turns off. When I turn it back on, it boots normally and continues where I left off. This was all on my normal hard drive. If I'm not playing, it does that in 3-6 hours.

    I switched to my solid state drive and did the same things above and instead of hibernating, it sleeps. I wake it up and it continues from there.

    I check the system logs and on the hard drive, it gives me many errors for peer networking and no log when it starts to hibernate. On the solid state drive, it tells me it slept because I closed the lid or pressed the power button (WHICH I DIDNT).

    I changed the settings to do nothing when power button is pressed or lid is closed. Since then, whenever it should have went to sleep/hibernate, it gives me a black screen for 2 seconds and goes back to normal and repeats every couple of minutes.

    Laptop is CLEAN in the inside, especially in fans so its not an overheating issue. What more can it be? Thanks for reading.

  • Can you replace any device's battery with another battery with the same voltage and higher battery capacity (i.e. mAh)?

    I have a tablet with horrible battery life and since this tablet only has two wires (positive and negative) soldered on the motherboard, can I in theory, replace the battery with one with higher battery capacity? For example if the battery it has is rated 3.7 volts with 3000 mAh, can I replace it with another battery with 3.7 volts with 10000 mAh and still works? (Obviously the charger it came with will not be enough to charge it completely so a better one must be used.)

  • Why does my multimeter show overload on resistance all the time?

    A few days ago I was checking voltage on two normal 9V batteries in series and connected them directly to the probes of my multimeter via alligator clips. I turned on the multimeter and got the voltage for them. Recently I wanted to check the resistance on some resistors and found that the number on display keeps going up to overload without measuring anything. When I check in henries, I get that problem too. On voltage, it does not stay at 0 and gives random values in millivolts. With/without the probes I still get that and battery for it is fine as well as the small fuse. However there is a big fuse there and I dont know if its ok or needs to be replaced to fix this problem. Any solutions? Thanks.

  • If I leave my android phone with root access, am I making my phone less secure?

    Let's assume I am smart enough to not go into suspicious sites and/or download suspicious apps and such and let's assume it will never fall into the wrong hands, am I lowering the security of the phone if I leave it with root access?

  • Should I unroot it after gaining root access on my phone?

    For example, I got root access just to get rid of bloatware that came with my phone. After that I really dont need root access anymore so is it worth it to unroot it again? Are there security risks if I keep it with root access, even though I am not gonna do anything root-related anymore? Thanks

  • Why is it showing more RAM than what is installed?

    I have a laptop which has 125 MB of RAM, however its telling me it actually has 1.125 GB of RAM. Here is when it gets weird:

    - In BIOS, it tells me it has 1.125 GB of RAM

    - By right-clicking Computer and selecting properties, it tells me it has 125 MB of RAM

    - In crucial.com, it tells me it has 1.125 GB of RAM (1 GB in one slot which is unnamed and 125 MB in the other slot which is specifiied)

    - Physically, there is a 125 MB RAM memory chip in the laptop and the second slot has nothing

    Its an HP Pavillion ze4101 and its using 32-bit Windows XP Professional SP3.

    So what is going on?

  • Is there some truth to the retirement ages players have in FIFA games?

    I dragged on a manager mode profile I have in FIFA 12 to the year 2020 (and still going) and I wonder if the age certain players retire are actually based in real life - what those players plan to retire on. For example, Buffon didnt retire until age 40 and Ronaldinho is still going at age 39. So do they show some truth as to the players of today want to retire at?

  • What is wrong with France's national soccer team?

    They have very capable players and can be seen as a strong opponent to other countries but why does it seem like they cannot prove that in their matches? Is it their management, which pretty much got them eliminated from last FIFA World Cup (2010)? Coach? Something?

    Also, do you think they can improve on their chances for this FIFA 14 in Brazil?

  • What happened if I sent a FB message they never 'seen'?

    I have a friend on FB who most of the time views FB through their mobile phone and when I finally see they were online (green spot in chat, not the phone logo), I sent them a message. I left the chat open for 2 hours and I noticed they never 'seen' my message, since FB lets you know if they saw it at a certain time or not in the chat. I just see my message and how long ago it was sent, nothing else. Then they finally change their status to the mobile phone logo again.

    So what just happened there, did they ever see my message or even know I sent one to them? Appreciate the help.

  • How fast should you go given a certain speed limit when you drive?

    Lets say you come across a speed limit sign of 30 MPH. What is the speed you should go to not be so slow and not so fast to get police attention? I have seen people drive about 27 MPH and others from 35-45 MPH on a 30 MPH speed limit sign. I'm not sure how fast you really should go but im guessing you cannot be slower than 30 MPH but not faster than 40-45 MPH? is that correct? Appreciate the help.

  • How do you make FR cars more stable in Gran Turismo 5?

    while they do have big horsepower and all, they skid so easily when you take a simply turn and if its tires arent soft, it tends to do that or if it had soft, it will turn but later burn up the tires and end up skidding again. so does anyone know how to reduce or remove this risk of skidding with these drivetrain FR cars like the dodge viper? there is a setting to replace the skid with automatic braking but that reduces speed.

  • How do they show the team logos and score on the field on TV?

    Lets say a team made a touchdown. Once they go back to huddle, I see the team logos and their scores on the field which they're on and the players can 'step on' these logos and scores. Then right after they kickoff the logos and scores disappear. How do they do that?, its so nice.
