Gigabyte Warranty Service

The only time that I resorted to Gigabyte's warranty service, it was an unsatisfactory end. I paid for shipping and three weeks after shipping the board off to them, they sent the same exact board back (checked the serial number to find out it was the same). From what I could tell, all they did...

Word 2007 Problem

Thank you for the suggestion bwatson283. I'll be certain to try Ccleaner. As an update, I reinstalled Office 2007. Unfortunately, it exhibits the same errors (crash upon exiting, unable to highlight, documents don't directly open when double-clicking via Windows Explorer). Furthermore, Word...

Word 2007 Problem

Thanks for the response Corky. Well I went ahead and uninstalled Office 2007. I haven't reinstalled it quite yet though. Is there some sort of application or guide that I can use to sweep out any residual traces, such as registry type stuff? And... I really don't want to reformat my HD just...

Word 2007 Problem

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. The Computer Help forum appeared to be for hardware issues, and so I thought that perhaps this post would be better placed in a Software forum. If anyone has a good suggestion on a better forum to put this, I'll definitely pursue that. Lately I've...

CPU fan not getting enough juice. p35 ds3r

I've had this issue before with my DS3R. More concerning, a friend who had the same motherboard also had a similar issue. I think what always starts the fan for me is to simply turn off the Fan Control. I switch it from "Auto" to just completely off. --Garfield3d

Gigabyte P35 Motherboard Thread

For those of you with the P35-DS3R, what BIOS have you guys been using? My motherboard shipped with the F4 BIOS. I tried the F7d and the F7 BIOSes through @BIOS, but my computer became extremely unstable. The computer would randomly reboot itself and sometimes it couldn't even make it into...

Weak Performance in WoW

Try clearing out your mods, cache, and WTF directory (or at least rename all of them). Then turn off your mods and try running around Shattrah or a high population locale to determine whether or not it's just the core game that's slow. If that works, turn on your mods and see if it's still good...

Important Crysis Info: Get the DX10 effects while playing in the DX9 mode just by tweaking the cfg. No need for Vista

And Halo 2 is supposed to be Vista only. *cough* Stuff like this makes me wonder how much of this "DX10" and "Vista" only stuff is truly inhibited by programming. Is it merely easier to perform under Vista, or truly impossible to perform under XP? Or, are they just being lazy and trying to...

Q6600 vs. X3220

Thanks for the responses. I imagine that the Xeon is supposed to be better than the normal Q6600. It's meant for servers and people have said it comes from a higher bin. My question, though, is whether people have seen a consistent increase for Xeon in their experiences. There haven't been...

Q6600 vs. X3220

So it's that time for me to pull the trigger on a processor for a new computer. I was thinking of getting the X3220 from ClubIT at http://www.clubit.com/product_...il.cfm?itemno=A1938011 simply because it's a good price ($277 + $4.99 shipping) at a reputable vendor. Then, I saw a newspaper ad...

IT'S BACK 24" Soyo LCD for $299. @ Office Max is back

Does anyone have some advice on how to calibrate a monitor? Are there some easy-to-use test images out there, or any software that streamlines the process in color/brightness/contrast calibration? After returning two monitors, I could almost swear that the third monitor looks a little...

finally - i have a monitor that is going to push my video card

As per this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...key=y&keyword1=Soyo+24 . He's correct. The Soyo 24 incher is a P-MVA panel made by AU Optronics, which is the parent company of BenQ. This means that the monitor has the potential to be very good. Quality control and the quality of other...

HD 2900 Pro at NewEgg....Do You Dare?

Well, the video card does have 512 MB of RAM. It might be able to serve a segment of high resolution users that the 320 MB 8800 GTS can't quite fit as well. If the video card performed at 320 MB 8800 GTS levels with better tolerance for higher resolutions, I would probably go for it. However...

It is definite to get a G0 Q6600 from NewEgg or are B3's going out?

Right now it sounds like a lottery with Newegg. The reviews on their website for the past month and a half have been up-and-down reports of B3s and G0s. As someone said, Clubit has the G0 guaranteed in stock and their price is pretty much the same as Newegg's. What I'm also interested in is...
