    Small smudges on monitor

    I just bought a used monitor and I see a few small smudges on the screen. They don’t look like dead pixels, and they don’t appear to be on the surface either as I don’t feel anything when I run my fingernail over them. I’m thinking it might have something to do with the anti glare coating...

    AMD HD5450 some 1080p files are choppy

    This is exactly along the lines of what I was expected, thanks for pointing it out, I'll experiment with this more. That's a really good idea. I'll try and record a new clip that plays choppy on my HD5450 and upload it somewhere.

    AMD HD5450 some 1080p files are choppy

    Do you know if any of the 1080p files you've played are H264 and have at least 30Mbps bitrate? I'm wondering if the bitrate has anything to do with why I'm getting choppy video.

    AMD HD5450 some 1080p files are choppy

    I uninstalled the latest ones from Windows update and tried the latest drivers from AMD, no improvement, so I uninstalled those and went with the Windows 8.1 default drivers again. As you can see from the MediaInfo dump, this file's video bitrate is 30Mbps. I can play other 1080p videos with...

    AMD HD5450 some 1080p files are choppy

    Using an AMD HD5450 and Windows Media Player, some 1080P 60fps files have very choppy playback during the scenes with a lot of movement, namely the files I recorded with a GoPro. I always thought the HD5450 could handle 1080p60 without a problem at all. I've been using the default drivers...

    Bay Trail-T CPUs support WiDi?

    I'm talking about the newer ones like the Z3735. I see in specs it has WiDi 3.5 which is compatible with Miracast, but does it also support the legacy (original) WiDi 2.0 and 1.0?

    Dual monitors with on board ATI HD3000 graphics

    Thanks for the quick confirmation guys, the Biostar manual said nothing about using both display outputs so I thought I check first. I'll be using Windows so no issues there. Thanks again!

    Dual monitors with on board ATI HD3000 graphics

    I have an older Biostar TA760G-M2+ mobo with ATI Radeon HD3000 graphics built in. It has VGA and DVI connectors on the back. I'm pretty sure I can support 2 displays simultaneously but I just wanted to double check before buying another monitor. My old monitor is VGA and the new one I might...

    Could this likely be a power supply problem?

    Ok, I promise I'll return the CM-300 once I try it out to see if it was the original power supply that was the problem :) Not sure if I want to invest more than $20-$30 on a PSU though since I'm going to start from scratch again within 2 years, am I being unrealistic with my pricing? There was...

    Could this likely be a power supply problem?

    Thanks for the reply guys. Looks like I will have to just try a new PSU then, off to Fry's to pick one up! Looks like they have a "mATX" PSU for sale there, and it seems to be the same dimensions as the PSU that came with the INWIN case (Coolmax CM-300). I'm likely going to be replacing this...

    Could this likely be a power supply problem?

    It's all separate components, and several years old INWIN BK623 case with the power supply that came with it (some generic brand?) MSI G41M4-L motherboard Celeron E3300 OCed to 3.3GHz (2.5 GHz stock) 2GB 800MHz PC6400 DDR2, I believe it's Patriot, not OCed OCZ Agility 3 60GB SSD boot...

    Could this likely be a power supply problem?

    Upon cold boot, my system has been either hanging or powering off by itself and then powering back on immediately, but doesn't finish POSTing. I've been having to unplug the PSU and plugg it back in a few times, and then the system gets through POST and the BIOS says something about...

    Question about MSI H61M-E23 motherboard

    Do any of you who also run this motherboard notice that upon a cold boot, BIOS codes pop up in the lower right corner of the screen. I'm not too worried about the codes themselves, but sometimes, they stay on the screen for many seconds (like 10-20) which makes cold booting a really slow...

    Windows remote desktop problem

    The thing is, I want to leave the programs running to let tests and what not continue overnight until I come back to work the next day. Leaving the programs running is done on purpose, I just want the local monitor at work to go into standby after the preset time of 10min. And I'm sure the...

    Windows remote desktop problem

    I regularly remote desktop into my work's computer from home at night. I have Win 7 at home and Win XP on my work desktop. Everything works great except when I come into work the next morning, my monitor at work is on, not in standby. If I don't remote desktop in the night before, then the...
