Computer Randomly Freeze While Makes Loud Noises

I ran Long Generic passes on each drive which passed. I also ran MemTest which passed too. Any other suggestions?

Computer Randomly Freeze While Makes Loud Noises

Every now and then my computer would randomly freeze for a few seconds while making a clicking noise. This is most noticeable while gaming as my game would be frozen for a few seconds. When this happens, I noticed that my Skype, Windows 7, and Chrome is not frozen. This lead me to believe I have...

Which Headset Should I Get: DXL1 or Fatal1ty

I have a chance to get either a Turtle Beach DXL1 or Creative Fatal1ty headset for the same price ($35) and am unsure which one I should get. I see that normally the DXL1 is about twice the price of Fatal1ty, but I looked at the reviews for DXL1 and people are complaining about the flimsy...

2650x1600 - GTX770 SLI - 2GB vs 4GB

Wow, interesting. Seems like the GTX770 4GB is pretty much useless ATM.

2650x1600 - GTX770 SLI - 2GB vs 4GB

I'm building a computer for a friend at 2560x1600. ATM, it looks like the best bang-for-buck GPU at that resolution is the GTX770. I'm currently planning to get him one 770, and then grab another one in a year or so to SLI. I've been reading lots of posts saying that 4GB is great for...

Install Games on SSD

Sorry, just to be clear: When I first run the game, my computer will be loading the game from my system drive instead of my game directory. However, once my game has loaded, my computer will be running the game from my game directory? So in my case, as my OS is installed on my hard drive and...

Install Games on SSD

I have installed my games on my SSD, and my OS (win7) on a 7200 hard drive. Since the OS is installed not on a SSD, I'm wondering if my loading times for games will suffer?

Streaming Media = High Gaming Ping

When my family is streaming media (480 quality) of Funshion.com (asian movie website) and I am gaming at the same time, my ping jumps from ~50 to ~300. I am wondering if there is anyway for me to reduce the ping while streaming media. Are there some settings in my router? I am using a Linksys...

Change Default File Partition For Installing 32-Bit Files on Windows 7

Oh, I see. Where would I find this 32-bit section of the registry? Also, should I be modifying the other keys such as CommonFilesDir, CommonFilesDir (x86), CommonW6432Dir, ProgramsW6432Dir values to reflect K: instead of C:?

Change Default File Partition For Installing 32-Bit Files on Windows 7

I am trying to to install software on another partition (change from C: to E:). I changed the values in the Registry Keys ProgramFilesDir and ProgramFilesDir (x86). This seems to work when installing 64-bit software, however, this does not work for 32-bit software. For example, I was installing...

Intel 335 240GB - Missing 40GB

I bought an Intel 335 240GB SSD and I am missing about 40GB worth of space. I installed a clean Windows 7 on the SSD, which took up 10GB. I did not partition the SSD in any way. When I take a look at the 'My Computer' folder, I see two partitions: Local Disk (C), and System Reserved (E). Local...

Ram Fins Touching CPU Cooler Heatsink

I just installed my Cooler and RAM and noticed that the top of my 4th RAM is just touching the bottom of the CPU Cooler's heatsink. Is there going to be a problem? In addition, my power cable for the CPU is wrapping around the top of my RAM. Is this safe to do? Mobo: AsRock Z77 Extreme4...

Suggest Me a Mobo - 670/7970

I'm thinking of getting a new gaming rig this weekend and was looking into SLI/XFire 670/7970. After doing my research, it seems that both these cards have more or less the same performance and scale similarly. As a result, I've decided to buy which ever is the cheapest. So far I've picked out...

Need PSU - i5-3570K, 7950 CF

Are you sure? I don't mean to question you, but the Newegg PSU calculator says I need ~825W, and I'm not sure if they factored in OC-ing GPU/CPU.

Need PSU - i5-3570K, 7950 CF

I have selected my components, but am unsure how much power my system needs. I heard that it is very important to get a quality PSU as a cheaper one may damage your system. I plan to Crossfire my 7950s, and overclock my CPU and GPU to within safety temperatures. After doing some research on...
