    Problem with my Radeon HD 4850 driver not responding.

    C2D 2.13ghz 2GB RAM Vista 32-bit Home Visiontek Radeon HD 4850 card. I've owned this card since the very day it was released, which I think was back in July. I purchased it from Buy.com and got it a week before most other people when Buy.com made a mistake and sold it a week earlier than...

    4870 vs GTX 280 Devil May Cry 4 Benchmark

    Here's my benchmark @ 1600x1000 on a single 4850. 1600x1000 is the max resolution I can select because my monitor is native 1680x1050. I'm also using 8.6 drivers and my 4850 is overclocked to 690mhz Core, 1123mhz memory. It ran at around 85C during the benchmark. Also, the 2nd and 4th...

    I'm running 1680x1050 and the with the games I'm playing, I get like 70-120fps on most of them. I'm currently playing Bioshock and TF2 getting insane frame rates. I benched it with the Devil May Cry 4 demo tool and if you average all 4 scenes, I get 78fps with everything maxed. The Witcher...

    Anybody else have a 4850 that's running hot?

    Got mine today that I ordered from Buy.com over the weekend and I've noticed that its been running hot. I don't have any special cooling in my case at all. I've only got the 3 stock fans that came in my Antec P180 case. Its been running around 74-75C idle all day, around 80-82C at...

    Wife's laptop keeps restarting

    She turned it on last night and all it does is keep restarting itself. Its got Windows XP Pro w/service pack 2 on it. I'm out of answers on how to fix it this time. Windows takes forever to load up and just before its supposed to pop to the desktop, it restarts the whole computer. I hit f8...

    Need help finding a thread about overclocking Gigabyte motherboard

    Yeah that's the exact same thread that I have bookmarked, but it is not working for me. I get nothing but a blank page. No 404 or anything... just blank.

    Need help finding a thread about overclocking Gigabyte motherboard

    I bought a Gigabyte 965p-DS3 motherboard last June and I had bookmarked an extremely detailed thread about overclocking it from this forum. I've now got time to sit down and play around with the motherboard, but now the thread seems to be gone? Can anyone help me find it?

    To anyone playing games in Vista...

    I put Vista Home Premium 32-bit OEM on my new build last month and I haven't had any problems with gaming, although I've only tested out Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander, Half-Life 2, and World of Warcraft. I've never had any of these games crash once on me during game play. The DX10 in...

    PCI Slot Video Card that can run mid end games

    Its going to be very tough to find a PCI card that can do that. If he finds one, he's going to have to turn pretty much everything off. I would also suggest a RAM upgrade because 1GB barely cuts it for WoW. I've ran WoW on 3 different builds and here's what I've gotten so far: P4 2.8 ghz...

    Fast Loading XP vs Feature-Rich Vista

    I put Vista Home Premium OEM on my new build 2 weeks ago and it takes exactly 92 seconds to load from cold boot to a fully loaded desktop, including Avast anti-virus. My new build isn't even anywhere near top of the line - C2D 6420 2.13ghz, 2gb ram, geforce 8800gts, seagate 250gb 16mb cache...

    Uninstalling Nero under Vista problems

    I built a new PC with Vista a couple of weeks ago and my new Samsung DVD burner came with an OEM copy of Nero. I had never used the program before, so I installed it and thought I would try it. I didn't really care for it, so I uninstalled it 2 days later. My old PC used to be a Media...

    Has anyone gotten a Sony camcorder to work under Vista?

    Wow thanks for that tip. It didn't even occur to me that they made PCI Firewire cards, since most Firewire connections I've seen have went straight into the motherboard. Now the next task is to find one that works with Vista...
