Long story short, after many years of exceptional service. My sig rig is dead. There is a long boring post on the Mobo section of the forums about it. (RIP Z97. You will be missed.) I have a bunch of new parts coming in on Wednesday. I already tried to upgrade with a Gigabyte B550 UD and a...

I recently had a bad lightening strike that took out my old intel system. I went hobo mode and grabbed a used CyberPower prebuilt ryzen system from someone who said they never got it to work right. Suprise, it doesn't work right. The Bios battery socket is apparently jacked because I have...

I'll try to keep this short so you busy guys wont TLDR on me. My ASUS Gaming monitor just decided to turn it self off and on about five times and then shut off. I unplugged it for a while then plugged it back in. I have managed to make it stay on for the time being. I am typing this on it...

If you want to get in on some early Hawken action go sign up. They are populating the closed beta.:) https://playhawken.com/v7tqsg4k So many mech games coming out and so little time....

I know you guys run into this a lot. So I though I should ask. What can I say to certain family members who just keep installing limewire and other assorted bullshit on their computers? Just pulled an allnighter emergency virus cleanup for one of my cousins who has a paper due later this week...

My brother just gifted me Crysis on Steam. Are there any tweaks I should consider before playing it?

Is it just me? None of these new crap games have me excited at all. I have a minor fascination with Bullet Storm, but Cliffy B is a D-bag and his prior statements don't exactly fill me with confidence. I remember having so much fun playing Hitman, but I stopped buying them a while ago when I...

Version17 appears to work the best. 18 was kinda buggy when I tried it. It works with UT GOTY(436) for me. It looks good too. The page explains how to change the video settings. http://kentie.net/article/d3d10drv/

I don't know what has changed, but the last three linksys routers I setup would not pass DNS information properly. I had a customer swap one out for a different model but it had the same problem. So for now, I am entering the DNS manually. It's not a big deal for me. My customers won't enjoy...

Every time I see a video of this game, I want it. The story appears meaningless but the game play looks like a riot. So, go ahead, lay it on me. It runs like poo on a PC right? I have a PS3, but I wasted my money on Batman for that and not my PC. I really hate game controllers unless I'm...

I'm not really sure what is going on. This is absolutely the strangest problem I have ever had. Every hour on the hour, (currently happening at the 53min mark) the system becomes completely unresponsive for a period of not longer than 20 seconds. During this time the HDD activity light is...

What do I need to cool an i5 processor? I just ordered two of them but newegg's cooler selection was decidedly crap. I did see one cooler made by thermalright but it looks a lot smaller than the TRUE and plan to OC the crap out these things...

Ok gents. I currently use WinXP32. I plan to upgrade to a Q6600 and 4 gigs of ram. Will I have to purchase Vista 64bit or can I somehow get XP64 for nothing. I have been told that if I have a licensed copy of XP32 then I should be able to get a 64bit copy for free. Is this true? I really would...
