Random Shutdown/Freezes

Well, I switched out my Radeon for the Geforce 3 and everything seems to be working fine now. I emailed Sapphire tech support hoping that they'll be able to help me with the card and have not heard a response yet, so I'm just crossing my fingers at this point. If anyone has any advice on how...

Random Shutdown/Freezes

Ok, well, I guess it may be the video card. I loaded up Warcraft 3 and set it to 1600x1200 resolution and then all of a sudden, the screen went black, then went back to my desktop where I saw a bunch of artifacts and could barely make out a small window that said 'ATI VPU Recover'. I'm giving...

Random Shutdown/Freezes

Edit: Spacing for better readability Ok, so I tried moving my resolution to 1280x1024, but as I suspected, that is not the problem. I'm leaning towards this not being a video card problem either because when it froze up this time, the screen went dark and nothing would work. I tried playing a...

Monitor won't display 1600x1200 Help!

If you right click on the desktop, select Properties, then Settings tab, Advanced Button, Displays tab. Click on the Monitor box and you have the DDC Information checkbox. If you uncheck this, you can select whatever max resolution and refresh rate you want, but be careful b/c if you turn it...

fatal error: registry keys are missing?

Is there any chance you ran Norton System Doctor and did a Fix All Problems? I did this before and it erased some windows files that it thought was not being used and I had the same problem. I never run the Norton stuff other than Antivirus now

I have the link above from Staples, here's the link from Samsung. Even this says it's 1600x1200, do you think I should return this to Staples?

The reason I overrode it was b/c I'm pretty certain that the monitor was advertised as max res. of 1600x1200, and it worked at taht resolution so....Does it sound like that could be my problem? Edit: Here's the link of where I got it from Staples As you can see the description says 1600x1200...

Random Shutdown/Freezes

Well, that usually causes it, but it also happens while I'm in windows. One thing, the DSC information on my monitor is max res of 1280x1024, but I override it and set it to 1600x1200 w/ 60 refresh rate. Do you think the problem is my monitor?

Setting Up Router

You need to figure out what the problem is. Hook up the cable modem directly to one of your computers and see if you can get on the internet with that computer. If that works, then the problem is the config of your router. If it doesn't work, then the problem is your cable modem and you will...

Setting Up Router

You need to set your router to DHCP and also your two computers, unless you have a server you need to have a static IP to. If that's the case, you can set the server IP to 192.168.1.XXX with XXX being something high like 255. If you don't need that, then you just have to setup your router with...

Cat 3.10 Driver Download

The new 3.10 driver is also WHQL-certified and fixes the Call of Duty crashing problem. Before these drivers, you had to download the non-WHQL "fix" for this problem. Seems good to me.

PSA: prince of persia SOT rocks

Sorry, but I don't see why people compare this game to tomb raider. Comparing this game to tomb raider is like comparing the matrix game to max payne, it just doesn't compare. As far as genre, ok, i can see it, but that's where the line is drawn. Prince of Persia is a great game. If you...

Truly great fps titles....besides the ones I already have?

Great Games for gamecube that are not at all a waste of money!

Metroid. Best console game ever. Period. If you have a Gamecube, you MUST buy this game. If you dont' have one, but one and buy this game along with it, you won't regret it. This blows Halo out of the water(and probably Halo 2 also). I'm only making the comparison because both are FPS, but...

Amen to that. I keep wondering what could possibly be better than CS as far as replayability goes. It's such a deep game that everytime I play, I know I'm getting a bit better, but still far from being the best. There's so many factors to it, and with the new weapons, CS will have even more...

What is code bloat?

I always thought a good example of code bloat was MS Frontpage. Do a simple page in HTML and then do the same thing in Frontpage and look at both sources. The code bloat is obvious at that point.
