Hi, I have a Fusion IV and ever since I got it, it runs slow and the fans run crazy with Windows 10 & 11. The laptop gets hot, but there is no excess dust. Does anyone else have this problem? I run Ubuntu mainly so it's not a huge problem and runs exceptionally without any of the above issues...

Hey all, So, my current Lafite 2 has gone to laptop heaven. I'm looking at getting a new laptop running Ubuntu 20.10. Ignore the SSD for now. I have one 1TB SSD and my 500Gb SSHD from my old Latife. Is there space for that on this chassis? I don't need the 128Gb so will swap that out. Ideally...

Hey, So, my last latife 2 is no longer repairable. This is the new build I am considering. The laptop will be used most for study, general web browsing, reading documents, Netflix. No gaming, with the last Latife I installed and played Tropico only and it was more then capable. OS wise its...

I bought a new GTX660 installed and updated the drivers. However my desktop still looks like its running from the intel graphic chip. The resolution is at the highest recommended. The icons are fuzzy. Text is large on applications too. What could be causing this? Thank you,

Hey, I'm suffering with a hugely annoying BSOD issue. Everytime I try to boot into windows it occurs and I can only boot into safe mode. I cannot system restore as my PC wasn't making restore points (stupidly forgot to check). It seems a driver issue or something similar has caused this. How...

How has everyone managed this? I just accidently overwrote my C: drive windows install with ubuntu. I meant to partition my secondary hard drive. However it didn't even recognise windows was installed alongside! its so annoying I need this installed and am seriously thinking about paying...

I fiddled around trying to install ubuntu. Needless to say I wasn't success so removed it and after it mucked up my MBR (it did a semi-install) before I had to cancel. I had to use a recovery disk to repair my windows MBR. However, my second HDD which I had tried to install it on now had no...
