Is that really a good Motherboard? After some googling it seems as if that board has a lot of problems with video corruption. If you google 750i corruption you'll find a lot of results. I just don't want any more problems but maybe its just a select few of those boards that are bad. As for...

Short Version: I don't know much about PC's, so if anybody can recommend me a good motherboard and PSU that would support 2x 8800GT's in SLI, I'd really appreciate it. Longer Version: I've been having lots of problems with my PC lately, specifically with it freezing up on me when playing...

Hey all! I am not the most technologically savvy person in the world, but I think I know how to install a new PSU into my computer. The issue is that lately, every time I am playing a game, or sometimes just browsing the internet, my computer will completely freeze and I'll have to do a manual...

Hey guys, after talking to a lot of people I FINALLY think I know what is wrong with my PC. As some people here have already mentioned, my PCI-E link width is only 1x when the max is 16x according to CPU-Z: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/DragonfireXV/CPU2.jpg I asked two of my friends...

I haven't had any success fixing my system. Here's what I've done to troubleshoot so far: 1) Disabled SLI in Nvidia Control Panel - No success. Same issue with FPS jumping all over the place 2) Took out the two 512MB sticks of ram, and alternated the two 1GB sticks of ram (First ram slot has a...

I did two things; I took out the 2x 512 MB sticks of ram, and then I spread out the 2x 1GB sticks of ram. By that I mean, the slots on my motherboard are from left to right, yellow, black, yellow, black. So I made sure that both 1GB sticks of ram are in the same color. After doing that, I ran a...

So I finally got my gaming PC in the mail (whoohoo!) and I was extremely excited to start gaming on it until I noticed that it was not performing up to my expectations. Since I just received the computer, I haven't been able to really try any games besides World of Warcraft, and to be perfectly...

Hello once again Hard forum. Some of you may remember that I recently purchased a new pre-built PC from Newegg. To make a long story short, the PSU that is coming with the system is border-line sufficient to power all of the components. It is a 580 Watt PSU that will be used to power 2x 8800 GT...

Alright, so I just purchased a prebuilt system from Newegg because I am honestly too scared to attempt to build one on my own. It is this one here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227052 Basically, although I don't know too much about PC hardware it seems to me...

Thanks for the fast reply guys, I honestly appreciate you helping a newb out. Yes, I just noticed that the CPU doesn't come with a heatsink. I might just stick with the OEM and purchase a decent aftermarket one. As for SLI, I have a 22 inch widescreen LCD that I have in 1680 x 1050 res. Would I...

Alright, so I've done some browsing on newegg and I think I have completed my final build for a PC. This will be the first PC I will ever build, so I am very nervous. I think I've done my homework well, but I am still a novice, so I am hoping somebody can take the time out to look at the parts I...

Hey, thanks for the reply! Yes, I noticed it is out of stock, but it has an ETA of the 24th of this month. I don't mind waiting a week, its not an emergency or anything (I use this PC I am on now for work / email / etc). The thing is that I am really a novice when it comes to PC's. I'm not sure...

Hey all! I realize there are a lot of extremely intelligent people on these boards so I am hoping somebody out there will give me a hand or two on purchasing a gaming PC. Newegg is a very trusted name (I've done shopping there before and have always been happy) so I went there first. What I...

I currently use a 19" Dell CRT and as you can imagine it is extremely bulky. I am looking to purchase a widescreen flat panel for mainly gaming and I am having trouble deciding between a 20" and a 22" flat panel. On one hand the 22" is obviously bigger but I have heard that the picture doesn't...
