My laptop (HP DV2422) took a fall the other day and I think I might have killed the screen.
When I turn it on, I can hear everything boot up normally but the screen stays black. I notice that I can see a faint outline of the startup but it is extremely dark to the point where I can barely...
Thanks for the suggestions. What are the major differences among the 4890, 5770 and 260? Other than price, of course. Any reasons to get one over the others?
I would also like to note that I'm running an C2D E8400, would the upgrades cause a bottleneck or any other issues that may arise?
I've been using my HD3870 for about a year now and it runs fairly quickly on almost everything considering it runs everything at 1280x1024 on a 19" monitor. I ordered a new monitor 23.6" monitor recently that runs at a native resolution of 1920x1080. I'm expecting an FPS drop if I try running...
Hi everyone,
I just put together my computer and when I boot it up, everything seems to be working properly until it says "no hard disk detected". I bought a 500gb WD SATA hard drive and it seems to be spinning and powered up but the system doesn't detect it. Anyone have any ideas on whats...
On the Intel C2D stock fans, the there is a thermal pad on the bottom but it does not cover the surface area entirely, is this okay? I thought the thermal pad would cover the entire contact area between the cpu and cpu fan??

Hey guys, I'm putting a new computer soon and I was wondering if you guys see any problems with the following specs? This is going to be a low-end gaming computer and it's also a budget machine so I'm keeping the cost as low as possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
MOBO - ASUS P5Q...
I'm debating on these two low end C2D processors and I'm wondering if the extra $10-15 increase justifies buying the E7300 instead? I only see a difference in clockspeed so I don't know if its worth it..
I'm configuring a new build and I'm looking for a fairly cheap motherboard that would fit these components. This is

Hey everyone.
So I'm not a total beginner when it comes to computer hardware but I haven't been too updated with the whole computer hardware scene for the past little while.
The motherboard on my old computer recently died on me and instead of replacing it, I'm thinking about getting a...
