  1. Can onboard sound card fail to deliver enough power?

    Especially high impedance headphones (e.g., Sennheiser 580/6xx, Beyerdynamics DT990 Pro etc.) are not enjoyable when connected to on-board sound devices. Those just can't drive these headphones. For low impedance they can be viable for very general use.
  2. Is anything truly random?

    With zero serious scientific background my personal opinion is that very probably nothing is truly random. "Definition of Random for this topic: Lacking any consistent rules or order or purpose that can lead to any patterns." I think this should probably be changed into "Definition of Random...
  3. Games which deserve a sequel

    Anachronox.
  4. do people still use defrag type software? or general pc optimizers?

    PC optimizers will go out of fashion about the same time as weight-loss pills.
  5. creating a script to delete TONS of files

    Make sure you have a backup because even the slightest error in code could end in disaster. Any script/prg would require serious testing before allowing it to comb the folder structure. Perhaps you should make the test program/script copy the files somewhere and only then delete them...
  6. Best 4x Space Game?

    HAEGEMONIA is good.
  7. What was the last game you played that made your jaw drop?

    Areas with crowds in Hitman Absolution are very interesting to look at / wade through. There aren't many games (in fact I can't think of any, not even MMOs) that have that kind of environment.
  8. How Much Energy Would be Required For...

    Almost completely irrelevant, but I'm wondering if it would be possible for an asteroid to flawlessly touch down on the surface of the Earth. What I mean is a scenario where the Earth catches up with an asteroid (the right time and place, velocities being right etc.) in a way that in the end...
  9. Some websites don't load properly - but work fine over proxy and other pc's

    That's funny. You use Google's DNS servers? So what's your actual experience when the page loads on the problem comp? Items are missing? Won't load a thing?
  10. Built Computer-Now problems, need help!

    Make sure the CPU fan is connected properly AND to the proper (usually named CPU1) port. Check if CPU power is connected (4 or 8 pin). Check if PCIe power is connected. Reseat the 24 pin mobo connector. Check if the CPU heatsink is sitting properly on the CPU. Reseat everything. Pull...
  11. Some websites don't load properly - but work fine over proxy and other pc's

    A bit hard to say what could be wrong but if it works on all other machines and won't work on a particular machine and you have already tried everything mentioned in the thread then you could try some other stuff: - check if switching ports on the router makes a difference (e.g., swap two comps...
  12. Motherboard headache

    As it has already been mentioned, it's not obvious what your problem is. Also, you could just use the reset button to turn on your comp (by connecting the reset button to the power pins). That is, for convenience if the connector attached to the wires coming from the power button got damaged or...
  13. Trouble when moving an XP install to a new machine

    There can be two major issues: 1) DISK/PARTITION number is off (you can correct that manually, better yet, create SEVERAL entries in the bootcfg and try them all, best way to avoid getting locked out for good, just clone the lines and alter the DISK/PARTITION numbers, basically create fake boot...
  14. Problems installing Win 7 (heeelp!)

    You could also try setting the SATA controller to IDE mode if possible. You can always change that later.
  15. Win 7 or Win 8?

    Win7 FTW
  16. What games did you all get for xmas?

    Hitman: Absolution - quite nice, bought it two days ago, already finished it. Flawless (played 22 hours). Also Gemini Rue, have already played 3 hours. Loving it. Mark of the Ninja, thought I would like it but couldn't get into it. Perhaps in a few months I'll try again.
  17. Rage really is pretty bad isn't it...

    Played it for a few hours (maybe 4-5) then I got bored. I especially disliked vehicle handling. Some may like it. Think that was what put me off.
  18. New/Rebooted games that you want made.

    Anachronox 2 Freelancer 2 Baldur's Gate 3 Knights of the Old Republic 3 (single player, straight to unplugged comps) AVP3 (a real AVP3, hopefully Colonial Marines will be good) Fallout 5 (and 6,7,8 and 9) And many more adventure sci-fi like Gemini Rue
  19. Witcher 2 -- Any way to skip the QTEs

    It's a lot easier if you parry and do not attack when being attacked. Otherwise you get pwned real hard.
  20. Best headset for gaming (VOIP/chat only), while other game audio utilizes speaker?

    A PC360 + an ASUS card (even a Xonar DG) should be adequate. I have to say that if you MOSTLY offline/solo play games and only do occasional multiplayer (using Ventrilo, Mumble and TeamSpeak) then I'd definitely go for both a PC360 and a Sennheiser 600 (or equivalent like the 595 and maybe the...
  21. Best headset for gaming (VOIP/chat only), while other game audio utilizes speaker?

    I have positive experience with my Sennheiser PC 320. It's circumaural and open so it's very comfortable.
  22. Deadlight

    It has a Prince of Persia, Deathlands and Fallout feel to it. Surprising quality from a platformer. Addictive stuff. Gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50nHNs7QarA
  23. Eyefinity or 3D vision on Budget

    Well, they are two completely different things. I can only say what I have experienced: 1) Eyefinity It's a nice concept and probably works for a lot of peeps but it didn't for me. I bought all the stuff, set up three monitors but I just couldn't utilize the extra space. It looks...
  24. Comparision of Graphics card

    http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-7690M.67737.0.html Here you can compare the GPUs. The Pavillion likely has a 7690M AMD btw. If the comparison charts confuse you then you can still rely on the classification list in the middle part of the page, with CLASS 1 being the best category.
  25. Retiring Intel X-25M G2 160GB as main drive, looking for recommendation

    So, I'd like to move my G2 to a secondary role and buy a new one as my main. I do realize there's a bench database here on AT, it's just that I keep hearing how various stuff affect real life performance that are perhaps not always captured by benchmarks. E.g., how much space is occupied by...
  26. Help with any of these browsers pls

    I have tried Flash 10 but then some videos would not play. Flashbock would not be a really good solution to this problem since the issue is that the Flash player freezes sometimes. It would prolly result in less freeze-ups as flash videos would not start automatically but what about the videos...
  27. Help with any of these browsers pls

    Thanks, I'll try the extension.
  28. Help with any of these browsers pls

    So, here's what I'd like to have: - a browser that won't hang on Adobe Flash - is capable of opening Google.com as an opening page without any fringe stuff Details: Mozilla FireFox 13.0.1: + can open a preset page no problem (Google.com in my case) even if I open several instances of the...
  29. Would you snuggle this woman for $60/hr

    Certainly. She straps it on and bangs you away.
  30. Help! My first build won't start.

    You could double-check if you have connected the PSU to the motherboard properly (mobo power, cpu) check if your video card is also connected via PCIe connectors. Check if there's a constant RESET state (shorted the reset pins, connected it to a switch, or perhaps the reset button is stuck...
  31. VB.NET help needed - refer to a control by an integer

    I'm not sure why would you need like 500 textboxes but I'm suspecting that perhaps you are trying to create some sort of an itemized list, perhaps with a scrollbar. If that's the case, you don't need to create literally 500 textboxes. You need to create a control that always displays the...
  32. (likely) quick SQL help

    Any time you are in such wonder make sure you run the exact opposite of the query. You should get the rest of the records as a result. If that also results in 0 records then you should prolly scratch your head. That is, if the source table/join is not empty to begin with. e.g. ... WHERE !(...
  33. Switching between 120Hz and 60Hz monitors

    Need some input from multi-monitor users who happen to have mixed refresh rate monitors. So, I'm planning on buying a 120Hz monitor. I already own two 60Hz displays but I would get rid of one of them. So, I'd use a 120Hz and a 60Hz monitor. Both would be set to 1920x1080. I don't want to...
  34. Windows 7 & two AMD cards

    Shameful bump.
  35. Risen 2 Thread (ETA April 27th)

    Excellent game. Love my musketeer char. One also stumbles on treasure sites all the time. A lot of loot to be had. Fun crew. Especially the swearing gnome.
  36. my browsers keep crashing on pages

    Don't know if it's going to help but a relative's comp would freeze/bluescreen/etc randomly with all browsers on certain sites and it turned out to be the Flash plugin. To be more exact, I had to disable hardware acceleration for the Flash plugin. I have tried a different video card and various...
  37. Windows 7 & two AMD cards

    One of the DVIs has "VGA" printed next to it and that one indeed supports the adapter. The other won't (and has no VGA printed next to it). Some search turned up that it's normal for certain video cards to have such feature set. I'll have to live with it. I'm just trying to find out...
  38. Windows 7 & two AMD cards

    So, I need to install a second video card in a comp. Currently it has a 6870. The 6870 has an HDMI port and two DVI ports. One of the DVIs allows for attaching a DSUB adapter while the other would only accept standard DVI. Two DSUB monitors need to be attached to the comp. The displays...
  39. Most Frustrating games ever

    Guy Spy.
  40. Legend of Grimrock (Real Time RPG) - April 11, 2012 release

    Loved it. Relatively simple game with fun challenges. I couldn't make myself play it again though.
