My kids want a desktop. I have an old Dell up in the attic. It's an Inspiron 530s ,Intel Pentium Dual Core processor E2160 (1.80GHz,800FSB) that had vista on it. I replaced the fan in it a couple yrs after I bought it. Would it be worth setting up? Will it play the new games i.e. cuphead, subnautica, etc?

Happy #LevelUp day
Minecraft... Do I have to buy it again!?! My kids love Minecraft and between us we have purchased it 6 times! One copy for 360, one for ps3, 2 p.e.'s for their tablets, & two pc downloads. My son just bought an Xbox one (he worked & saved for 2 yrs for it) and the other kid is saving for a ps4. Am I going to have to buy minecraft 2 more times? Can't they just stream it or something?
Checkers baby!! Woot woot!!
Can a Steam controller be used with ps3 or is it strictly for pc games?
Our new favorite game
That's my boy!! \o/ I made a highlight reel of my kids quad races. What (free) video editing software do you use?
I feel so stupid right now. I totally got scammed and I know better. I received a phone call from someone claiming to be from windows. (Clue #1) Told me they had been trying to contact me about errors on my pc (Clue #2) Asked me to install fixme.it and took remote control of my pc. I was distracted getting the kids fed and just did as they said without thinking. Halfway through I got suspicious hung up and shut down my pc but it was to late. They locked me out of my pc by changing the password, corrupted… See More
my Bios, ruined my day.
Last post. Once you have gotten back into Windows, backup all your files (external harddrive, online backup site, another computer, etc). Once that is done, do a full clean wipe of your computer. Who knows what they may have left behind when they were fiddling with your computer and they may have left a password sniffer or some other malicious software behind... —

Windows 10 login password recovery is a bit easier apparently. If you are using a Windows Live login then just goto account.live.com/password/reset to reset your password. If you are using a local account then you can use your windows cd (or someone else's windows 10 cd) to help recover your account.

If they have encrypted your files then you maybe out of luck though. If they have encrypted your files then… See More
decrypting them maybe a matter of getting the correct key to decrypt them (usually by paying them, their program gets hacked or they get caught and forced to release the decryption keys). But it all depends on what they used to encrypt things.

That sucks but they usually cannot write to the BIOS like that. Assuming that your laptop picture is correct and you have a HP laptop, try following the instructions found at support.hp.com/us-en/document/c0412673…
A summary:
Turn off your laptop
Hold Windows Key + B
While continuing to hold the above keys, hold down the power button for 2-3 seconds
Do not release the Windows Key + B combination until your computer starts beeping at you or your BIOS screen appears. —

I know this doesn't seem gaming related but it was video games like Pure that got my son interested in quad racing, he's only 7 & I want to give him some encouragement. I hope I don't get in trouble for sharing this but...

Weeks of searching in the dark wishing for a flashlight only to discover your pip-boy light halfway thru the game #fallout
Thank you GTribe & Logitech G!!
He learned all his moves by playing Pure Took home a first place trophy at the races this weekend. Proud momma moment.
My son wants to make youtube videos like stampy does for Minecraft and other games or like he's seen some of y'all do where we can still see you and the gameplay at the same time. He has a birthday coming up and I would like to get him the equipment to get started but I don't have a clue. He has an HP laptop w/ intel i5, ps3, and xbox 360.
Any product suggestions? Advice?
Nichole Smith, just create a new status, click on add image and find the speccy screenshot to upload it. In the posting box, just put in something like "Erwin Klein Haneveld, here's that speccy screenshot!" and click post. —

Rocket League is on sale for $11.99 - 20% off w/ voucher code SLICK20 or APR20 = $9.60 But I don't know if I can share where to get this deal because of Gtribes posting guidelines?

will probably be running on the iGPU so the games it will play will be very limited.
I fixed up an old PC for my niece but that was a quadcore (Q8300) and put a Radeon HD6850 in it and a Samsung 850 Evo SSD, so it will run basic games but I have no high hopes for recent titles on that.
What u can do is check the specs at systemrequirementslab for games with that PC and see whats possible. —
