    Craigslist

    Pros
    -Can be sold locally (no shipping required)
    -post free ads (avoid seller & listing fees).

    Cons
    -might sell for less than expected
    -can be dangerous if not careful

    hello its been 2 months since i have puchsed my gt780dx and currently i am experiencing really annoying lags,
    usually when i amrunning firefox or outlook... anytime i start outlook i can bet that these 2 programs will freeze stop working for a few minutes before everything get back responsive correctly switching between tabs takes between20 to 60 seconds!
    i have large .pst files and anytime i start outlook it starts slowing extremely the laptop, looking into the used resources i see that i am barely using 20-30 percent of cpu and memory usage
    the laptop is also extremely slow as soon as i open a few tabs with firefox only started...
    looking to the programs running i have

    THX prostudio
    s-bar
    msi keyboard led manager
    msi vga overclock tool
    and a few other programs


    note that when i received my laptop the original drive was defective (with bad blocs) and i switched to a primary ssd drive but had to download all the drivers via MSI site.


    what would you guys advise?

    @ jimy444

    Considering the topic of this thread, this is really an odd place for your post. Try re-posting your problem HERE, and you may get better responses. I'll give you m thoughts there, but yours is a difficult problem to isolate without physically being behind the keyboard. It could be several things and more information is needed. Also, it would be helpful if you created 'Signature' for your post, outlining your complete system specs.

    :)

    I remember when the *.forsale newsgroups on usenet were a thriving marketplace for used computer gear.

    Forums are easiest way possible, IMO.
