    Upgrade needed for Fallout4?

    Interesting point about the new generation. In general my goal is to run games at 1600x1200, with settings on medium, at above 30fps.

    Upgrade needed for Fallout4?

    I haven't been keeping up for a while on my computer upgrades and am wondering whether I need to upgrade my PC to play Fallout 4 on moderate settings. My current specs are: CPU: AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core 2.5 GHz Socket AM2+ Motherboard: MSI K9A2 Platinum AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD RAM: 8GB...

    Laptop stalls out

    Having some issues with a laptop stalling out intermitently. Most frequently when playing games but also other apps, watching youtube movies, etc. Video will freeze for 5-20 seconds and then often will freeze again after recovering for a split second...then when it recovers again it will go for...

    Too old to run skyrim?

    It's been several years since I upgraded my PC and I'm wondering whether my ps3 would have noticably better graphics than my PC for this game. Modding, of course, is a separate consideration but I'm trying to understand what I would or wouldn't be sacrificing simply from a framerate/graphics...

    Anyone know of a DVD player that supports .AVI?

    Does anyone know if any DVD players out there support playback of avi files natively? That is, if I have a CD or DVD with .avi files copied from my computer - are any DVD players capable of playing these back without me having to burn them as SVCD or DVD format first? I know that the PS3 and...

    AIM 6.5 and Vista

    A friend of mine just got a new laptop with vista. I helped her set everything up but for some reason IM windows sometimes don't show up. For example, I IM her and she sees it in the bottom right AIM notification window but can't see the actual message. Other times when I double click her SN an...

    Alt Tab Lag

    I believe my MB doesn't support SATA2. I use a MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum. Someone correct me if I'm wrong in that assumption? I'm probably going to place an order for new RAM over the next couple of days, would it make sense to add 2 more 512MB so that I have 4x512 or just toss my old memory...

    Alt Tab Lag

    The hard drive I have: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 16mb cache I'm pretty sure he's just using an old Western Digital 8mb cache ide drive, so I have every reason to believe that my HD is newer. Would I notice a difference in MMOs (that's all I play) between 2gb and 4gb?

    Alt Tab Lag

    I was recently playing World of Warcraft on a friend's computer I was shocked at how smooth his alt tab was. When I alt tab from the game I normally deal with 2-4 seconds of a black screen and then maybe another 1 second of the computer just being a little slow. Same with tabbing back into...

    Computer randomly shuts off

    I returned the other PSU once I realized I had fried my original mobo so I never got a chance to try the new mobo with the new PSU. The thing that's weird is that it hasn't yet died under stress (as in, running a game or something). It seems most likely to die within a few minutes of when the...

    I just bought a new video card and i've been having major issues I have an MSI k8n neo-4 mobo with a amd64 3000+. I have a COOLMAX CX-450 ATX 450W Power Supply that I bought off newegg a couple years back. I just bought a new Radeon 1950XT to replace my old 6600GT. When i put the card in, my...

    SATA vs IDE?

    Hey, my current hard drive is about to die so that has unexpectedly put me in the market for a new one. I see all sorts of info on newegg about SATA, PATA interfaces. I guess I'm just outdated in that the last time I bought hard drives everything was just IDE. The motherboard I currently have...

    Microphone acting funny

    I was talking over Ventrilo the other day while playing a game and I noticed a curious problem with my microphone: No one could hear me when I would talk EXCEPT if I went to control panel and opened up the Speech menu. While this menu was open, people could hear me fine. When i closed it...

    Modem was acting as a router and now...

    Media players don't work correctly during games

    I tried changing the overlay setting but that didn't help, any other ideas? I'm not sure I agree with you DasFox on that point but either way I think I'm willing to risk it - i've been multitasking with games for the better (or maybe worse) part of 10 years.

    Media players don't work correctly during games

    When I'm playing World of Warcraft and I try to alt tab to watch a video on WMP, WMPclassic, or any other media player I get the sound but no image. If I close the game, the video will play perfectly. This used to never be an issue and I'm not sure what's changed between now and then. I tried...

    Northbridge fan makes noise

    My MSI K8N Neo mobo after being moved from home to college makes a lot of noise from the Northbridge fan. I unplugged the fan but I'm not sure whether it's safe to run the mobo without it. Any ideas? (Running a non oc'd AMD64 3000+)

    Major artifacts after a crash

    Yesterday morning, after playing World of Warcraft for about 10 hours, my computer crashed. I was tired so i just shut it off and went to sleep. When i woke up and tried to play it, I had serious artifact issues in WoW. I'm not entirely sure if the game was crashing but it got to the point where...

    7800GT is out, and it is cheap

    Hmm... my Geforce2 Ti can play FarCry at 1024x768 with 0 lag, WTF??? So does that mean it's pointless to buy new video

    That's because it's the best. /Was hoping my screenname would someday sound stupidly old fashioned. /Just not happening.

    UPDATED POLL: Do you believe defragmenting an NTFS volume produces a significant performance increase?

    People often fail to consider what type of fragmentation they have. If your HD is "50% fragmented" but that fragmentation occurs because of a couple dozen large files (movies, cd images, etc) then you may not notice a difference. However, if your hard drive is 25% fragmented because thousands of...

    Clear the last 3 used passwords for XP

    I had forgotten to enable "password never expires" under computer management and now I was forced to change my password. Windows, however, does not want to let me use any of my 3 previous passwords. How do I clear this/go around it? Note: I am not on a domain so this is, in fact, windows forcing...

    Prevent OS restart in XP?

    I think you're talking about 'shutdown -a' which is in theory what I need. I tried to use this via a shortcut on the desktop but it didn't end up actually stopping the shutdown. Does it work for you?

    Prevent OS restart in XP?

    CrackaLackaZe, the thing is that the software I'm installing is generally so *un* important that just about anything that I'm multitasking with is more important - for example, what prompted me to start this thread was that I was that I wanted to download a cpu temp reader without restarting and...

    Prevent OS restart in XP?

    Well, really the issue is differences in the location of the checkboxes. My brain is trained to check the bottom box of an installation because Yes is usually on top. If the bottom box is checked by default, the inclination is to just click Finish. However, when that bottom box is "Yes" then...

    Prevent OS restart in XP?

    While I see what you're saying, that's not really a solution. I save more time than I lose, I'd just like to lose even less time. Dialog boxes I always click the right thing on. It's the "The installation is complete" that I instinctively click finish on sometimes before noticing that the...

    Prevent OS restart in XP?

    Most installs ask "would you like to restart your computer?" and the answer is, invariably, no. However, sometimes I'm clicking too fast and i click yes by mistake. Is there any way to disable software dialog boxes from being able to restart winxp pro? That is, I want the only way to restart my...

    $2K budget for a computer.. what would you do?

    Buy her the absolute nicest monitor and speakers you can find. Figure out the other parts after that. Unless you game all the damn time, encode video, or have a penchant for extracting 10gb compressed files (or, if you're like me, all three at once) then there is NO REASON to spend 2000 on...

    Data recovery tools
