    Windows 8.1 To Let You Shut Down Directly From Start Screen

    While I agree it shouldn't have been removed, ALT+F4 is still faster anyways. One thing I will say about Windows 8 after using it for half a year. In an effort to make this system more user friendly to the lay person, they've only really confused them more and have only improved usage for...

    GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 670 OC Video Card Review @ [H]

    Is it possible for future reviews to have a category to compare sound levels too? I've built a pretty quiet PC and it's important to me, and since I like HardOCP's reviews, it'd be nice to have it all in one place. And regarding the ASUS TOP, yes it has better stats on paper, but it's a very...

    Antec Case & PSU Combo Lucky Draw!!!!!

    My old P180 was a great quiet case and I'd love the P280, but that case wasn't out yet when I was building my new rig. :\

    RIAA Going After Download.com

    As far back as I can remember, Windows always came with Sound Recorder no? I haven't checked in many years since I have no use for it, but really, switch your recording source to WAVE and just hit record... Maybe a suing of Microsoft should be done as well? That'd be interesting. :)

    first build - 2600k for gaming and work

    Are you up for spending a bit more for a better cooler since you're overclocking? I'd totally get the Noctua NF-D14 if you're sticking to air cooling and for the case maybe I'm a bit biased but I have the Corsair 600T SE (the white one) and I love it. Great to work with, lots of space, and...

    Slow to load desktop

    Hey guys, this is driving me crazy and I was wondering if it was an OS thing or an SSD thing. I was running Windows 7 on my OCZ Vertex 3 60GB since Christmas. On the logon screen, after I typed my password and pressed Enter, the desktop loaded in 0.5 seconds to 1 second. Everything ready to...

    OCZ Vertex 3 or Intel 520 120 GB?

    Hey guys, a local shop here is selling both of these drives, with the OCZ being $158 after tax + $20 MIR, coming to a final price of $138. The Intel is also on sale however for $179 after tax. Based on all this, what do you guys think I should go with? I've had no problems with the Vertex 3 60GB...

    No video during boot?

    Yes and while that's true, it doesn't make sense that it WAS working before during boot. It also doesn't explain why I also get no output while hooked up to an actual PC monitor during boot?

    No video during boot?

    I only have these 2 cards. And it doesn't explain why it was working before but not now? It's driving me crazy because if I need to do any repairing I can't since I can't even see the BIOS or anything.

    Audio Technica ATH-M50S $141 shipped. [Warm]

    It's routinely cheaper than that on Soundpressionals.com. It's currently $129.99 and during Christmas it was at $99.99. Great price for a great started headphone set.

    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    I've been hearing about these a lot recently. Anyone with a similar setup to me have experience gaming with this monitor on the native res? Was going to get a Dell 24" Ultrasharp before but now I'm conflicted...

    No video during boot?

    Hey guys I recently built a new rig and have had no problems so far, but the other week, when I turn on the computer I do not see the standard post screens or even the Windows 7 loading screen. However my computer DOES boot into Windows 7 just fine and everything works as usual. But this is...

    6950 = out of style?

    There really is no reason to buy a 6950 right now as the 7xxx series runs faster and with less heat and power as was previously mentioned. However if you can find one that's decently priced still and can unlock to the 6970, that would be another story. :D

    GK104 = GTX 680 (confirmed), paper launching soon [SA]

    I'm hoping they can give us some benchmarks of some sort. I've been looking to move away from my 460 SLI if possible for a while now.
