    GTX260 - Problems switching resolutions

    Aha! I had it set to perform the scaling on the display side. Switching it to GPU seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks.

    GTX260 - Problems switching resolutions

    I recently bought a new monitor -- an LG IPS231 -- and it's having some strange issues switching resolutions. Pretty much only 1920x1080, the monitor's native resolution, works properly. If I have a game that runs at, say, 1280x720, I end up with an image that fills the monitor vertically but is...

    Windows 7: Replaced video card, system won't boot

    I still haven't found a solution to this -- does anyone have any ideas as to what I should be testing? Again, I can boot in Safe Mode without any errors, and it's detecting the card properly. It's only when I try to do a normal boot that the computers shuts off half-way through the boot, always...

    Windows 7: Replaced video card, system won't boot

    When booting, the second adapter port displays the same thing as the first -- until the keyboard lights blink, and the computer shuts off. In safe mode, the card is identified properly (GeForce 7100GS).

    Windows 7: Replaced video card, system won't boot

    My video card died on me, so I'm trying to put in a replacement card while I wait for the repair. I nabbed a GeForce 7100GS, put in it, and started up in Safe Mode. I made sure the old drivers were nuked and installed fresh drivers for the 7100. When I rebooted the computer, Windows started...

    Will a Nvidia GT 120 from a Mac work in a PC?

    I have to send my video card in for repair, so I need to borrow a video card for a few weeks. One of my friends has a spare PCI-E GeForce GT 120 that he pulled from his Mac -- will this work in my PC?

    Regular freezes while gaming

    I'm still struggling with this issue. I've ran every test I can think of, and absolutely nothing is producing any errors. I finally tried running OCCT while playing a game -- Arkham Asylum seems to freeze the quickest. When the game locks up (after about twenty minutes of play -- the sounds keep...

    Regular freezes while gaming

    I ran the GPU OCCT test for an hour with no errors. However, I noticed that the fur pattern it was using was moving for the first couple minutes, then froze in place for the remainder of the test. Is this normal? Was it supposed to stay animated? Here's the result:

    Regular freezes while gaming

    Starting about a month ago I've been experiencing regular freezes on my computer. I'm having a lot of trouble finding the cause. This is my setup: PSU: Corsair TX750W CPU: Intel i5 750 LGA1156 2.66 MB: Gigabyte P55A-UD3P RAM: OCZ OCZ3G1333LV8GK (2x4gb + 2x2gb, 12gb total) GPU: MSI...

    Games (kind of) freeze when video card gets warm

    No, 75 is the peak temperature on a full load. It idles at around 55. I've spent the evening going back and fourth between more taxing and less taxing games -- if the game never pushes the card to 75 degrees, it never freezes, no matter how long I play (I just played Split/Second for an hour...

    Games (kind of) freeze when video card gets warm

    Lately, when I play video games, I encounter weird freezes. The freezes always happen when my video card hits around 75 degrees, which is around where it peaks. The game becomes totally unresponsive, all sound effects stopping but music still playing. The computer itself is fine, though; if I...
