I hope this is appropriate content, the table is in fact only about 3 weeks old, but I could already use your expertise. I recently purchased a coffee table, but accidentally spilled a bit of food and was left with an oil stain. When rubbing it with a wet paper towel, the stain was unimpressed but the color appeared to come off. Here is a picture of it: https://imgur.com/a/9uF058l

Is there a way for me to remove the stain without damaging the table further? Is is perhaps possible to restore the color? I'm unclear what kind of finish is on the wood that would come off so easily.

I have been ordering some RAM as an upgrade but unfortunately I am getting an error code 53, meaning "Memory initialization error. Invalid memory type or invalid memory speed". It seems to me that the memory should be compatible but I would appreciate it if somebody could double check and tell me if I'm wrong.

The mainboard is an Asus x99a: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/X99A/specifications/

Before I read more about how to set up a hypervisor and enable pass-through I am hoping you could let me know what is generally achievable and what just won't work. I have a devils canyon i7 on a asus z97a (which, if I understood this correctly, would support pass-through) for a Machine Learning&Gaming machine. I also have a GTX 1080 as well as a GTX 970 and would like to run a hypervisor with Windows and Linux. My questions mostly relate to driver issues with any of the cards as well as switching on-the-fly. My ideal use case would be to use the cards for gaming on Windows if no training is running on the linux system and assign them to linux otherwise. E.g. if the 1080 is busy training

I'm currently stuck on a Core 2 Q9300 combined with a GTX 970 for a couple of weeks due to gpus being easier to take out and transport than cpus. I was wondering whether anybody has any experience getting the game to run somewhat well on such a weak CPU or if I'm just out of luck

I posted this over in r/buildapc, I hope it's ok if I cross post this.

I'm looking for a 27" monitor with good colors to play games on. While there are many reviews and recommendations out there, I'm not exactly sure what properties I'm looking for so let me give some examples:

I'm currently gaming on a Asus pb278q which has gotten great reviews for good color accuracy (at the time) but while the colors may be accurate, they are also incredibly dull and options with the Q model (as opposed to the qr model) are limited. Perhaps this is due to a combination of low contrast and bad black levels.

For comparison, I also have a new XPS 13 with touch screen and a Vizio e50 TV. The xps 13 has go

Hi everyone, I got a brand new XPS 13 9350 but it appears that one of the keys is loose, the lower two clips don't seem to snap. See here. Has anyone encountered this? Is there a trick to this? Simple pressure doesn't seem sufficient.

Hi, I am experiencing some slowdowns in games and could use some help figuring out what causes them.

The slowdowns happen in different games and can typically be fixed by a reboot. However, they happen on a fresh windows install and no CPU or memory hog is running in the background. I also do not start any programs before playing the game except for those that always run automatically and are running whether the slowdown occurs or not. Unlike the CPU, Memory or SSD, the GPU is reporting near 100% utilization in either case so I would assume something is limiting my GPU, my full configuration can be found here: http://pastebin.com/Yuy8JRyZ

I recorded GPU-Z logs in the case where the slowdow

I was walking through home park and saw building called home park school at 11th and state/ home parth st. and state. Nowadays this seems to be an apartment complex; however I couldn't find any information about this one. Does anybody know more?

Hi, I have already asked this question on the terraria subreddit, but I thought I might have more luck on this one. I recently started a new game on vita and got a world with all the alternative ores. However, all the original recipes are missing.. For example, I can still craft a chest by asking the guide about wood but not by asking about lead or by going to the crafting menu. Has anybody encountered this before? Am I simply missing something or is this a game breaking bug? New world or new character don't help.

Hey, I recently started a new character and a new world after not having played for a while (never have played that long) and got a world with tin, lead and all that stuff. Now I tried to make a chest but couldn't find the recipe. I went to the guide and was able to craft it by going on wood; however it wouldn't show on lead. The same issue happens with most (but not all) of the iron recipes: they just aren't there. The problem didn't go away after changing the world either. Anybody any ideas? Or am I just stupid and this is how it is supposed to be?

Problem

I'm having issues with my system slowing down for no apparent reason. The symptoms are that the audio (USB speakers) as well as the video is stuttering (In games Geforce Experience reports 30 FPS during the stuttering but it is definitely not a smooth 30 fps). The video affects games as well as the windows modern UI animations (e.g. the spinning circles), all audio is affected. However, once I do a quick reboot of the system everything will work fine (and it won't start acting up even after hours of GPU intensive gaming). I could swear that it always acts up when I start it the first time for the day but that may be a coincidence. I rarely start any programs other than chrome,

Hi, I just got my PB278Q and connected it via hdmi to my laptop (Dell L502X). According to the specs, the PB278Q supports 1440p for hdmi input. Also according to specs(Nvidias and Dells), the GT540m supports HDMI1.4 and therefore 1440p for hdmi output. However, the 2560x1440 resolution does not show in the windows or nvidia settings. I did install the driver from asus' website and Windows (8.1) does identify the monitor as PB278Q. Power Strip tells me that the monitor does have a profile for 2560x1440, I just cannot select it anywhere

(I also tried a mini-displayport -> VGA adapter with the same results)
