Computer Shutting Down Randomly

Thanks guys. I don't have a spare power supply around the house, but I believe the PS is still under warranty, so I can give them a call and see if they'll swap it for a new one. I'll have a close look at the board for any caps that look like they may be going before I head to the store. I...

Computer Shutting Down Randomly

I started having a strange issue with my computer a few days ago. It runs fine and then just shuts down by itself. This can happen while gaming, browsing or even when the computer is just sitting idle. When it shuts down, I can start it back up right away without any issues other than the...

How are these games ?

The first one was great. It had a really dark feel to it that the others didn't. The later ones were more action oriented. While the controls got better, the series got worse. I never played the fourth one though.

I got my copy of Baroque in the mail last night. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to try it out. I've heard very mixed opinions on this one though.

does your ps3 resume on dvd playback if you shut it off?

Mine does the same thing. I wish there was a way to change this, but I haven't found any information on if/how it can be done.

Westinghouse L2410NM vs. Soyo DYLM24D6

This was a bit of a mess. The initial batch of monitors shipped with specs and manuals indicating a TN panel. From what I understand, these were the initial specs for the monitor, but they switched the panel to M-PVA and didn't update the packaging/manual. They corrected this in later...

L2410NM now a TN panel?

The CS response I received seemed switched around to me as well. I figured that they were probably confused so I set out to find one anyways. Best Buy didn't have any floor models, but I managed to pick one up while it was still on sale (the box had the 700:1 contrast and 5ms response specs)...

FYI - Price drop on 80GB PS is now in effect. And looks like Motostorm is still bundled in.

Is this one still backwards compatible? If so, just through software emulation?

L2410NM now a TN panel?

After playing around with this monitor, I'm pretty sure it isn't a TN panel. The viewing angles are pretty good and it seems way better than the TNs that I use at work. I found another thread about this lcd over at hardforum. http://www.hardforum.com/showt...d.php?t=1226712&page=5...

L2410NM now a TN panel?

Thanks, I'll check into this and probably pick one up so I can try it out. I'll check out the blackening at the different viewing angles and see how it looks. Also, I read someplace that one way you can tell the difference between a TN and MVA is by pressing lightly on the panel and...

Power supply question

I have picked up parts and built a new computer. It doesn't seem to run very well and I can't install windows without it freezing up. My case is a raidmax storm with a 350 watt power supply. Is this power supply decent enough to run an Athlon 2800+, a7n8x mb, and a 9800 pro?

9800 pro problem

I have checked and the connectors are all plugged in PSU->HDD->video card. Everything is new so there are no drivers or operating system yet. Is there anyway that the card could get fried if the fan is not running? For the time being I'm just trying to install xp and troubleshoot.
