    Grrr PC started to reboot during games recently

    How is your PSU mounted, and where does your case set? If you have the PSU mounted with the fan on the bottom like the case is designed for, and the case is setting on anything other than a hard, flat surface, then most likely your PSU is overheating and restarting your pc. A friend of mine had...

    Have they set the Over/Under scan slider setting to default at 0% yet? I have my PC hooked up to a 40" LCD TV and every time I install a new driver I have to manually set this to 0% as it defaults at 15% underscan.

    360 no longer reads discs...

    Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. I bought my 360 not quite 2 and a half years ago and already the dvd drive is taking a dump. What gives? I've had the same dvd-rw drive in my computer for over for years and it still works flawlessly. Hell, the computer I built in 2002 still...

    Am I missing something here? Is the 5870 now the best bang for the buck?

    Would it be wise to run a 5870 on a Antec TruePower New 550W PSU? Expecting my tax return any day now...

    Time to retire my 4850 1GB

    Thanks for all your input. 6870 seems to be the best option for me as far as budget is concerned and if it is twice as fast as my current card I will be more than happy as I thought my 4850 handled most games pretty well.

    Time to retire my 4850 1GB

    That card you linked to is recertified. While it may work fine I don't really like buying used or refurbished electronics. And only a 90 day warranty to boot.

    Time to retire my 4850 1GB

    It's tax time and I think I may treat myself to a new GPU. The 4850 1GB has served me well. Plays many games at high settings but lately I've been experiencing a good number of BSODs while gaming; Just Cause 2, Dead Space, Lotro, and Fallout all occasionally crash with the same result. The video...

    Better to keep my OC or add more RAM?

    Thanks for all the replies. I had more time to experiment with all 8 gigs. With all 8 installed and keeping the memory speed at 961 adjusting voltages made no difference. As soon as I began a stress test the computer froze. That said, backing the memory speed down one multi to 801 made the...

    Better to keep my OC or add more RAM?

    My system: Intel Q9550, Asus P5QPro Turbo, 4 GB Memory (2x2), HD4850 1GB, OCZ Vertex 60GB My dilemma: I have this system OC'd to 3.4GHz with the ram at 961MHz. The ram is Kingston 1066. I have another set of the exact same ram, but when I install it the computer will not post. I have to...

    2 player game like Burnout?

    If I remember correctly all burnout games after the original and not including Paradise have split-screen racing where you can knock the other racers into traffic/walls and cause them to wreck.

    OCZ 750W Died, Looking for Affordable Quality Replacement

    Thanks for the replies. I wanted to make sure I had room to expand. 650W is kinda what I had in mind but the S12D 850 just seemed like a great deal for the price since the X650 costs the same. I will most likely go with the Corsair. Thanks again.

    What system is this for? I'm pretty sure they released Burnout Revenge for the 360.

    OCZ 750W Died, Looking for Affordable Quality Replacement

    My PSU was just about to hit the 4 Year mark but it died last week from a power surge I think. I had an OCZ GameXtreme 750W. I'd like to find a replacement that is affordable yet still of decent build quality. What I would really like is the Seasonic S12D 850 but it's a bit out of my price...

    Windows 7 Shuts Down but does not turn the computer Off

    It's Windows 7, their is not a button that looks like a power icon. I believe you are thinking of Vista. In 7 there is a button that says shutdown. I know it is not sleeping because if I hold down the power button to shut it down after windows shuts down and I turn it back on I do not get the...

    Windows 7 Shuts Down but does not turn the computer Off

    As the title says, ever since I installed Windows 7 on this computer when you click on shut down windows shuts down but the computer does not turn off. All drivers are up to date. Bios is up to date. ACPI/ACPI 2.0 are both enabled. Any ideas? Specs Asus P5B-E Intel C2D e6420 4 GB DDR2 800...

    Recommend a Video Card, Cool Quiet Cheap

    I did not notice that, I will give it a second look. I usually take newegg reviews with a grain of salt but they are a good place to start. The GT 220 looks decent at those resolutions but I doubt it could keep up at 1680x1050. Looks like I'll give the GT 240 a shot. Hope it is still on sale...

    Recommend a Video Card, Cool Quiet Cheap

    The 5450 doesnt seem like it has enough oomph. That GT240 is tempting but the reviews are low and most of them say it gets hot. Guess I will wait a few weeks and increase my budget.

    Recommend a Video Card, Cool Quiet Cheap

    I want to replace the video card in my wife's computer, an X1900GT. For such a small card it is loud and hot, and the P182Se tower it is in is not known for keeping things cool. Sure looks awesome though. I'd like to get something in the $50-75 range preferably closer to $50 that is comparable...

    Intel Raid reporting an error

    It would work in a 0+1 (160+160=320), but i just back up manually. I'm not too worried about it, seems to be working fine. For now I've marked the drive as normal and it has not given the error again.

    Intel Raid reporting an error

    I sat down at my wife's computer today and moved the mouse to wake up the monitors. The monitors woke up but I was greeted with a blank black screen. I reset the computer and noticed when it showed the Intel Storage Raid screen one of the drives that is part of the Raid 0 array said in red text...

    Compatible? "Yes". Recent Upgrades

    I apologize in advance for the story book, but I felt like sharing... At the beginning of the year I decided it was time to upgrade my 4 year old PC. Acquiring a free copy of Windows 7 Professional 64bit through work was the catalyst. Due to budget constraints starting from scratch with an i7...

    How to safely switch from AHCI to IDE

    Which OCZ drive did you purchase? I just installed Win7 on my new vertex drive following the instructions on OCZ's forums. Most things I read say to install in IDE mode then switch to AHCI for best performance. What is taking a long time, post or Windows 7 booting?

    How high does your value RAM overclock?

    Bought the same stuff last week for a friends build, Kingston ValueRam KVR800D2N5K2/2G. Running at 890MHz on stock voltage, 5-5-5-17. Have not tried any higher. Just wanted to get the CPU, X3 435 Rana, to 3.2GHz. Prime95 stable for 10+ hours.

    Borderlands coming Oct 20th

    A good chest to farm for new gear in the first area is where you do the first weapon scavenger quest. Its that structure on the side of the mountain across from the Circle of Death Challenge area. Got 2 very nice orange weapons out of that chest yesterday. A shotgun called The Bulldog and what I...

    Borderlands coming Oct 20th

    Use a static weapon to take down his shields if you can find one. Then switch to something more powerful and spray bullets at his face. Helps to take down his cronies first though. The fifth chest is up some stairs. You will see a washing machine, jump on it then jump on top of the building.

    Borderlands coming Oct 20th

    I've got quite a bit of playtime in the game already. (I've had some unplanned time off) Started with the berserker Tuesday night with some friends and got to lv13. But unfortunately when we hit around lv7 everything stopped attacking us. So I started over yesterday as the Siren and I'm enjoying...

    Borderlands coming Oct 20th

    A couple friends and I picked this up at midnight and played for a few hours. Its definitely fun, but we hit a major glitch. Enemies stopped attacking us after about an hour of playing. Has anyone else experienced this? Made the game a bit boring.

    Star Ocean 4 heading to PS3

    That is good news, considering the dismal number of JRPGs the PS3 currently has in its library compared to the 360. I was disappointed to read that MagnaCarta 2 is also going to be a 360 exclusive. The playstation used to be "the" system for RPGs, what happened?

    Looks like the 360 Elite at $299.99 is confirmed

    Its very simple to swap your 20 or 60GB HDD for a $55 120GB HDD. Just do a google search. I bought a 120GB HDD for $56 and swapped it in my 20Gb's place and it works great.
