    Display Crash

    I'm having an issue where my display will crash to a series of horizontal lines about 1-2 pixels high and stay that way for multiple seconds then the computer will reboot on its own or occasionally hard lock and I have to manually reset it. The problem seems to occur in three primary ways: 1)...

    Next best thing?

    After exhaustively searching Digitalversus.com and Tomsguide.com I've come up with the top gaming monitors of the bunch. Everyone has their own definition of what makes a good monitor, but there are some specific qualities that make a monitor more suited to gaming. Fast response times, little or...

    Next best thing?

    Well size isn't terribly important, anything greater than or equal to 22" will do. Viewing angle also isn't a priority, I sit directly in front of the monitor the whole time I'm using my computer. A TN display is fine, as long as it meets the specs I outlined originally. I prefer widescreen...

    Next best thing?

    I'm looking for an extremely good gaming monitor. I'd like less than 20ms input lag (0ms would be nice), good grey rendering, and almost non-existent afterglow. Color rendering and viewing angle are of secondary importance. I found a lot of interesting articles about the Iiyama brand, which...

    Fried My Compy

    I tested the items in another computer that I have. It wasn't compatibility. I'm not really trying to diagnose what's dead so much as figure out where I went wrong so I don't do it again and melt another board.

    PSU Comments Needed

    The only thing I'm somewhat concerned about (and thus the reason I'm upgrading) is that I recently had a fried system and I still haven't completely diagnosed the cause. The only thing I know is that my video card, mobo, and CPU all got fried but everything else was fine. The 4-pin molex on my...

    Fried My Compy

    I forgot to mention one thing. The 4-pin molex that I referred to in my initial post was connected to the 8600GTS. That was the one that was burned on one corner. This was the only PSU connection to see any sort of damage and that's why I think its somehow linked to the video card.

    Fried My Compy

    The case is a Lian Li PC-60A Plus ATX Mid Tower. AFAIK nothing touches the side panel. The wiring in the case could've used some work, but it wasn't anything too awful. There's always a slight chance that a cable could have been resting on the side panel, but I count that among the very...

    Fried My Compy

    It seems I killed my computer. I had recently upgraded to a new setup and I was going to take off the side panel to check and make sure everything was working correctly. I decided to leave the computer on (big mistake I guess) because I wanted to make sure my new CPU fan was running correctly...
