Little update, my wife's video card worked just fine in my machine and my card did not work in hers so it was the video card. I am planning on ordering a new one today. I also forgot to mention I need a Mini-display port on the card as that is the current active converter I have plugged into...

I currently have an AMD Radeon 6850 Hd video card and last night everything worked perfectly. Went to turn on the machine this morning and I got the normal motherboard splash screen and then nothing, blank screens. So I am assuming something happened to my video card from last night to this...

I knew I was going to forget something. Currently game on a 22" Acer Screen at 1680X1050 I believe. Thanks for the replies so far.

I have an older 8800 Gt that I want to upgrade. My machine is mainly a gaming rig and eventually I will need to run BF 3, Diablo 3 and SWtoR when it comes out. I would like to upgrade my video card to something a bit more modern for a price somewhere between $100 and $200 dollars. Any help...

Thanks for all your help guys/gals/its, I appreciate it and I did go with the corsair and bought it from Newegg as they also had a 20% coupon going with the rebate. Now they just need to get off their butts and ship it to me.

I am putting together a machine for a friend and I was going to use some extra parts I had lying around as he is somewhat strapped for crash. He has the following parts: GA-MA790X-UD4P Antec 300 case Western Digital Caviar SE16 640GB G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 - PC2 8500 AMD...

And now I just re-hooked the 5th hard drive and it seemed to start up just fine without a hitch. Forgot to mention I am using a Crosshair motherboard with a 9850 Phenom processor and running BIOS version 1103. Computers irk me some much sometimes.

I just bought an Antec 1200 case and moved everything over form my old case to the new one. When I hit the power button all the fans start up and everything seems to be fine, except I get no output to my Video card. Now I have since unplugged the Vid card and reseated it and still nothing. I...

And this does not help me with my question at all. I am pretty sure I won't be able to use 8 gigs but with memory being so cheap why the hell not upgrade to 8 gigs since I can do it. I just need to make sure on what is the max speed rated memory I can use. Thank for not helping.

I am about to nuke my system's hard rive and install Vista 64 Ultimate. I have an ASUS Crosshair, with a AMD 9850 and I believe the 9700 CPU fan with the 1103 bios. I want to get 8 gigs of memory but am not sure which memory to get. I went to crucial.com and had them scan my system and got a...

Yea I was wondering myself about a rackmount chassis (probably has some construction idea to be built into his home) but I would just go with a normal full-sized tower for now.

OK a friend of mine has asked me to help him build his "Dream Gaming" machine with the following requirements... 1) Has to be built into a rackmount chassis or your pick 2) 64-bit Vista (preferably I buy the components and assemble myself) 3) Intel or AMD - I would suggest Intel being the...

I am very interested in getting a Bluetooth headset to work for my cell phone (which is not the problem) and my computer system. Currently I am using onboard sound (ASUS Crosshair MB) to power my desktop speakers where all sound from games and movies and anything else comes from. I then have...

I currently have 2 speakers going through my motherboards onboard sound, A8N-SLI Deluxe and using a Turtle Beahc USB Amigo with heaphones/mic plugged in on normal Vista. Is there a better way to have all sound (games, movies, music) go thorugh my speakers and have Teamspeak just go through my...
