Are laptop keys interchangeable

The way to check is to plug in a USB desktop keyboard into your Toshiba and try that to see if something worse than just the keyboard is damaged. It's probably just the keyboard at the moment. The issue is that the laptop keyboard is made of several layers of thin plastic sheet. Obviously your milk (I guess you had milk on your cereal) has got between these sheets causing changes in conductivity.The unit may dry out over time and get better, but it's more likely that the milk will find it's way further into the notebook and then cause corrosion on the motherboard or cable connections. I've lost keyboards this way myself... so don't beat yourself up over it. You really should take the notebook to someone who can remove the keyboard. They should be able to make sure no fluids got any further into the notebook. If you have to replace the keyboard you can usually find one on eBay for $30 (like here - http://ebay.to/1zE8uj4) It can be tricky to do the replacement (those ribbon cables and their sockets can be hard to deal with) but if you feel confident or have a nerdy friend they should be able to do it. Without too much fuss. Good Luck.

First, I already tried a USB Keyboard and it worked perfectly. I would like to know if I would be able to plug the keyboard from the other laptop in the socket and if it would work. Thanks,

Tomas.

Okay the short answer is No.

As far as I am aware there is no set specification for the pin out on the ribbon cable connector for notebook keyboards and I wouldn't risk trying it.

The GPU temp is fine. Have you done any recent overclocking or had any changes in software?

The GPU temp is fine. Have you done any recent overclocking or had any changes in software?

Nope, i have never overclocked, or changed anything in the software.

Does any bluescreen or error show up on the display during the crash?

Does any bluescreen or error show up on the display during the crash?

No it's just freeze.

When does it freeze? Startup?Gaming? What temp does the CPU get @ during idle & gaming?

When does it freeze? Startup?Gaming? What temp does the CPU get @ during idle & gaming?

It only has crashed while i'm gaming, the temps on idle is under 20°C and on load it's about 40-50°C

Ok, so your temps for the CPU & GPU are fine. Since there is no recent software changes @ this point im kind of stumped, I would try first to run antivirus & Malwarebytes (full scans) and see if that turns up anything. If not then try to update the BIOS to the newest version (possbile driver/hardware conflict maybe?) and see if that helps. Try those and if they don't help then let me know or repost this thread, when I get home from work ill try to do some research and see if I can find something that will help.

I just got my new SSD today, and reinstalled, so everything is fully updated. and the chance that i got virus in this short ammount of time is very low!

Hello, What CPU cooler are you using? Having very good temps for an FX9590, I guess you have the boxed liquid cooler. Your motherboard has the latest BIOS version installed?

Try to do a better airflow around the CPU socket, by adding a fan blowing air towards the VRM and NB heatsinks.

I'll try change the rear fan, to pulling air in, to try get a little flow up there.

You could get cheaper prices if you look around. These prices all came from 1 shop so just go hunt for deals.

that would be around will be around 3000+

so your budget is 800-950 Malaysian Ringgit? That equals 220 - 260 american dollars. You can't afford a GTX 970 with that.

Really? You can't afford anything with that.

The i3 will perform really well, until you can upgrade to a 4690k and throw an ssd later on. For now this will suit all your needs.

Yeah, man. But he has a 1000$ 2 spend. A THOUSAND DOLLAHS!!

But the problem is, the 8350 is old technology. With an lga 1150 you have upgrade possibilities for the next few years, and newer technology.

I've looked into using linux, I've tinkered with it a bit to save money on a future build but I don't know if I'm fully convinced.

I am a full time coder bro. I live for customizations. I run some 10 OSs mostly linux, and OpenSUSE: SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD!

Depends on your resolution and which games you will be playing, but I just built a computer with almost the exact parts that you have picked for a friend and he is very happy with it. I also have almost the same build myself. I would recommend a semi-modular PSU because it will save you a lot of work when building the computer. Also you could consider swapping the 8350 for an 8320 (which basically is an underclocked 8350) and be able to get an GTX 970 within your budget. Suggestions: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/DT3WwP

But to answer your question I would say that the build is good

I would skimp a bit on the fast ram as it doesn't make much difference anyway.

Semi modular means that only the essential cables are attached to the PSU, and you only attach the cables that you need other than that. Will save you a lot of issues with cable management.

No doubt will it run anything and be a good workhorse/gaming rig. One question... do you really need to spend $180 on keyboard?!

With that budget and the parts you picked, you should have no problems running any app. I would say since you are doing your work in photography, a higher resolution monitor with just 60 HZ would probably suit you better than a 144 Hz 1080p. Games would also look better since your won't get as much tearing vs trying to run every game at 144 FPS. If your SLI 970s are able to produce 144 FPS in a game, a significant drop such as below 100 FPS and the game will need Vsync or look pretty annoying while playing. I'd definitely sacrifice refresh rate for a higher resolution especially in your line of work. Maybe a 1440p or 4K monitor if you can find one within your budget.

What are the benefits of switching the VII Hero Asus to the z97?

Indian market .. if u are looking for unlocked cpu u will have sacrifice budget on gpu as i5 4690k + z97 mobo worth around 28k to 30k . which takes half ur budget . u can look for this build :- cpu- intel i5 4460 13000/- motherboard - GA h97 - 7200/- ram - G.skill 2x 4gb 1600mhz 5300/- hdd - seagate 1tb 7200rpm 3700/- psu - antec vp 550w 3600/- GPU - gtx 970 27000/- optical drive - 900 to 1000/- (LG/asus)

as u know gtx 970 is one of the best gpu n can handle any game at 1080p with ease . H97 mobo for future upgrade incase u want 5th gen cpu . i5 4460 will not bottleneck any gpu .

it is possible .. but u wont be able to run the listed game at high to ultra , gtx 750 ti can run older games at high but for newer games it wont be able to handle them much at med 1080p even less .. more over gaming doesnt require more than i5 processor .. i5 4690k and i7 4970k will give same performance
newer games like witcher 3 ask for gtx 760 to be able to play at med setting 1080p

And also plz suggest me a good monitor for gtx 970

gtx 970 antec vp 550w/ seasonic s12 520w psu would be good enough .. expensive mobo gives better phase for overclocking and good heatsink as well .. z97 mobo supports 5th gen cpu , for future upgrade aspect it good to get that mobo .. cooler CM hyper 212 evo is cheap and awesome air cooler .. if u want water cooling u can go for h100i or h80i from corsair . budget for monitor ?

ssd are good choice , if money isnt the issue get samsung 840 evo 128gb (4900/-) .

Thanks for everyone's help especially momo eric........ thanks dude

no worries .. enjoy ur build

Right now, DDR4 memory has such high timing that it has no benefits from DDR3 in gaming and it costs WAY more. The only reason why you should consider building a X99 rig would be if you want to SLI (2 or 3 cards) and don't want PCIe limitations from your cpu. i7 5930k has something like 40 pcie lanes and therefor will not bottleneck any of the graphic information provided by your cards. Other than that, X99 is useless for gaming (in my own opinion). You're better of paying MUCH less for DDR3 memory and select higher quality components in z97 chipset that will last at least 3 years of ultra settings gaming.

But wouldn't that mean, in 3 years I'll just have to fork out for a x99 setup anyway? If I go x99 now, I pay a bit more but I won't have to upgrade the whole system for a lot longer, and I plan on buying a second 970gtx a few months after anyway

As I understand the way Intel work with the chipset market (and I might be wrong) is that they develop two types of market. On one side you have the 'gaming enthusiast' market where we saw the z77,h87, z87, h97,z97 chipsets. On the other side you have the 'work station' market where we saw the x79 and recently x99 chipsets. X99 motherboard, the same way x79 motherboards did when it was first released in ~2010-2011, offers a different socket type (LGA2011 and LGA2011-3) that offers more contact pins and some features (like ECC memory support, quad channel memory, etc) that benefits to work station power users and professionals.

So your saying x99 is not really needed for gaming?

So your saying x99 is not really needed for gaming?

Exactly.

Now for your other concerns, I'd go with 8Gb RAM since all new AAA titles tend recommend 6 to 8gb. And it's fairly easy and cheap to upgrade to 16Gb in 2-3 years. And if you ever plan to change your monitor to higher resolution or refresh rate, I'd consider purchasing the gtx 980 since it has 4Gb of vram and performs fairly better than it's little brother on 4k resolution. And 2 GTX 980 SLI will still kick ass in 3 years.

Okay so running with an X99 build personally I know the difference. DDR4 RAM is just the next level with higher speed (though cost to performance is worse). The CPUs are better, better processing, more cores blah blah all the stuff you know.

X99 mobos feature more USB 3.0 ports and with my mobo they stay powered when the rig is off. Infact everything except the CPU and fans stays powered when my rig is off. The X99 Rig is worth it if your gaming at 4K or wanting do do video production. If you have the money to burn, do it however wait till the new line of Graphics cards till you purchase those!

I won't be gaming in 4k for a while to be honest and I don't think any games currently being released support 4k do they. From what you guys have said I think I'll go z97 route, I'll probably stick to the 16gb of ram since it's not too expensive and I can only really afford a 970gtx but I'll end up sli'ing that soon after.

Another question is. As the motherboards get more expensive, do I actually benefit from that since all they seem to do is have more slots. I only need my mobo to run the sli cards, one SSD maybe another in the future, and I don't need 10 USB ports, just 3 or 4. With that said, do I need an expensive motherboard? Will it benefit me

The word 'expensive' can be relative. You need the motherboard that will suit your needs. Most Z97 boards will have good quality build, solid power phase design and plenty of features for any average gamer. What size will your case be? Atx, micro atx or mini itx? Do you want M.2 slot? Do plan on setting a RAID array? Will you overclock your cpu?

I think AsRock z97 extreme4, Asus Z97-A and MSI z97 Gaming 7 are good mid tier gaming board.

I want an ATX. And as for raid, I'll probably only be using one SSD, for the time being anyway. Too be honest I don't fully understand what m.2 is. Overclocking, maybe in the future

What I'm after is a desktop that will run some new releases on ultra settings, and hopefully for a while

Ok so I've built this, tell me if it's in your price range or not :

That looks quite good! Bit more than I want to spend now as I've decided to buy it sooner than I was originally, think mis going to go for something like this:

What do you think to this? Any no no's or advice?

In My opinion you should go X99S, since. 1st. They had DDR4 (Quad-Channel, New tech, which they gonna use also in LGA 1150 later) 2nd. 8 Slot of RAM, Future use Max ram ? 64GB!! 3rd. Processor had minimal 6 big cores! (Even with 5820k) Yes maybe you don't need these for ULTRA on games right now. But remember, for Future use. Great Investment. You can even 4 Way SLI your GPU if you decided to change to 1440p / 4k gaming (Which soon or later the prices will drop and all people gonna use 1440p)

Check my sig if you interested in picking parts of X99S!

I don't know, I'd be a bit cautious of relying on future games to need all those cores. Workstations and mainstream markets are completely different. Too many quad cores and under still around and by the time games do reach that point (if they do) it will be so far down the road that it won't matter as everyone will have upgraded by then. Look at the backlash games receive requiring top end big bucks video cards. It won't help them out any to require people either go old fx 8/9xxx or $500+ workstation cpu's. The biggest perk to x99 for gaming would be the expanded pcie lanes as others mentioned for supporting crossfire or sli both at full speed rather than limiting the speed of the second card. I really don't see quad channel coming to lga 1150 since skylake will be socket 1151 and things will be progressing forward rather than adding tech to old hardware. If anything, there might be ddr4 added to 1150 just like some boards in the lga775 which was ddr2 began offering a few ddr3 variations. 64gb ram is overkill. In quite a few cases games don't even use all 8gb, 16 is overkill, 32gb is way overkill and 64gb+ is just pointless for gaming.

ddr3 would be plenty sufficient and current mainstream (non x99) tech is plenty for gaming.

Well its depends what games you play, if you multi task 16gb is good. For example the witcher 3 that gonna comes out. Yes but i agree that 32gb is kinda overkill.

So actually x99s is for workstation?

That power supply is not made for gaming. CX and CS series from Corsair were made for office computers and light gaming machines. And 450W is far from being future proof, especially if you want to add another graphic card in the near future. Try something like this that will handle 2 GTX 970 in SLI : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

The X99s is definitely meant for workstation tasks in my opinion.
