That would explain a lot. How would I do that? What would I use and where would I run it to? Nothing in this room is grounded to my knowledge and the only grounded outlet in the house is in the living room. This house is old.

The surge protector is plugged into an adapter that uses 2 prongs.

This isn't a question about my laptop, but more of a question about my own personal health! My laptop is metal, when I type on it plugged in, I notice the ground light on my surge protector flicker on. When I stop touching my keyboard, it goes off. I'm acting as a ground... Now I've...

Took those, the game is beautiful.

I've given up on Bethesda making any good DLC that actually exceeds a few measly hours.

I have played ArmA 2, and I have to say that if the milsim genre had a bigger fanbase, it would have a chance at GotY. Sadly most people don't have the patience for them.

If it wasn't for Apple you probably wouldn't be infront of a computer right now.

Am I sensing some role reversal between ATi and Nvidia now? Is ATi starting to become THE graphics card company again?

I don't think I did, I didn't know I needed too. Do I? :confused:

Ok, so here is a good question. Before I install my display drivers, (for my ATi Radeon HD4850) I can get very big resolutions. Like up to 1280x1024. But when I install my drivers, I am limited to 800x600 to 1024x768. Also, I have been using the right drivers. Why is this?

So yeah, essentially I am very confused. I never peak at monitors too much, but I know I need a new one. My question is though, how do I know if my monitor can support HD content? I never really see it advertised (seeing as I don't peak at them too often). Will it just say it?

So yeah, after I install the P35 intel chipset software and reboot, my keyboard and mouse just stop working. They work on boot up, but when I go into windows, it just stops... anyone else had this problem? Did I even have to install that software? Also specs are in sig, + an ATi 4850...

Well it is definitely dead now. I thought that maybe the 6pin adapters on my PSU were broken, so I used the adapter where you hook up 2 3pin adapter. I made sure all connections were firm, then I turned her on. Smoke came out of the fan, confirmed dead, so now I can return it for defective...

So yeah, I replaced my old video card, ATi Radeon 9250, just took it out of the pci slot, and I placed my new 4850 in the pci-e slot. The 6pin power plug is plugged into the card, and on my first boot, it got to the windows xp loading screen, and then it just shut off. Now when I try to turn...

Sorry, I forgot all about the displays section. I thought of this and mod popped into my head. My mistake.
