when buying your new rig, be sure that the video card is 256mb and is running on a 256bit chip. The difference is about 200 bucks in terms of the cards and the performance is a huge difference. if you are a gamer, i would suggest getting high performance ram from Crucial, OCZ, or Corsair. i...
CS:Source surprisingly at the highest possible settings runs and highest possible res which is 1240x1078 or something like that gives me 91.7fps avg. with my eVGA6800gt OC'd to 375/1000
300W will not absolutely not can not carry that system. i have a 350W running my system which is about the same as yours, and i can not run my 6800 GT vid card with stability. I would suggest a minimum of 480W to give you enough power to spare. I would suggest a Thermaltake 480W PSU. The...
you might want to think about some custom case modding. Do a standard case with a side window but do a metal grill decal of Hello Kitty or something. have the case colored a pastel green as that is pretty neutral and not too girly. outfit the inside with cool cathode green light and maybe a...
well that's not what happened, the screen turn into a scrambled mess of colors and then the PC froze. From then on the screen scrambles whenever windows loads. Uninstalling the drivers results in a pretty stable environment. But after 30mins the screen randomly scrambles. It's definately a...
So I bought a custom built PC online from cyberpowersystem.com and my video card is corrupt! I'm not 100% sure and have no real way of checking and was just wondering if any of you can help me out here. Here is a list of what happened, nothing more nothing less.
I'm thinking the problem...
last card i recieved was a e-VGA 6800gt, but it was apparently DOA. I'm still very confused. I'm thinking the problem might just be a simple issue that can be resolved. I'll explain step by step.
1. I booted up the PC for the first time and installed all appropriate drivers, mobo first...
so apparently the card i have is DOA, so im sending the entire system back for a full refund, and decided to take some of your suggestions. take a look at the new computer im planning to get which only costs 150 bucks more.

everything initially worked fine until i started up counter-strike source. as soon as it was about to load the screen went crazy and problems have persisted since then. This is after multiply formats and uninstalling/reinstalling drivers. is my card DOA? works fine until i reboot.
ok exactly how do i boot up into safe mode? and ive discovered that the problems occurs right after rebooting after installing an update or driver, for example windows update
I just got a new computer,
AMD 64 3000+
Corsair 512mb XMS ddr
