OK so I had to get a new motherboard as my old one had 3 dead ram slots and overheated like a mofo, all is good now I have installed the new mobo, I didn't even need to reinstall windows, just a few drivers and i was good 2 go Until that is i found taht both of my 1TB hard drives were missing...

after I posted that I opened her up and redone the thermal compound and reseated, i also turned the fan around 180 and got the fan on the back of the case blowing outward, and the fan on the side blowing inward, and it now only goes up to 71c under load (acceptable in my books) Is there a way...

I think my PC may be getting a tad hot, the cpu under load reaches 110c and i can feel the side of the case is really really hot, I've not overclocked and have never done so Oh and there IS actually 16GB of ram in there as speccy says, windows only sees 8GB max edit: if i try to render, or...

My trusty 24" sony crt has started showing a green tint to everything, it's a lot fuzzier than it used to be and it's started making a whining noise at random times, I think it's time for a new screen. I tried the Dell u3011 but had to sell it as it had this stupid effect over the screen that...

doesn't matter now, neither graphics card is working and my pc's fucked itself

Not sure what's wrong, but 2 of the 3 screens aren't working, and nvidia graphics drivers for either graphics card won't install, the progress bar just sits there for around an hour, then it says it failed. Computer cost me £2000 fucking pounds, and I can't even use the piece of junk for what I...

guess having 3 screens hooked up 2 1 computer is not possible yet :(

OK so now I have them both installed, but the Quadro has an error message "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" If i disable the GTX 470 it works flawlessly so it's not the drivers.. or the card any help would be greatly appreciated.

i've found a vista 64bit driver, it installed and seems 2 be working, but now its korked both graphics cards, and i can only get a resolution of 800x600. see this is exactly the reason why macs win over pc's, wish i spent my budget on an imac now, as i should be working on this new city (i'm a...

Uuuugh this is a headache I really can't be dealing with right now. I bought an NVS 280 as a secondary graphics card to run my additional 2 screens (i have a 3 screen setup) I have a dell u3011 and 2 dell 2007fp's (i use the other 2 screens for work not gaming) Anyhow the graphics card...

OK so i followed some advice on the internet and created the partition WITHOUT formatting obviously, but now it says I need to format the drive in order to use it. Both hard drives do this when in raid or independently, How to access my data or shal i take my hard drives to a specialist, Maybe...

OK strange problem, and one that i can't find the solution to. I upgraded my ram from 1333mhz ddr3 to 2200mhz ddr3 (and from 6gb to 12gb). So i install the new ram, everything goes as it should until I noticed that I couldn't access my projects folder for work, it said the infamous death message...

My card gets used A LOT, but i need it for work, i use it for photoshop (openGL accelerated), 3dsmax 2011 and rendering, it gets used nearly 24 hours a day. FFS isn't there a graphics card around today that can last me more than 6 months, the only card I have had that lasted me a long time was...

It's only about 4 months old, it's a Palit GTX 470 (the version with 2 fans on) and it's running kool (i have one of those snazzy temperature controls on the front of my pc)
