    Insignia 4k 43" Roku + HDMI 4:4:4 (Cheap and 4:4:4)

    Wow that looks terrible. I'm looking for a budget TV to put in the living room (50 inch) and I was considering this tv (well the 50inch model), Vizio E50-C1, or Vizio D50u-d1. (streaming tv shows and watching blurays mainly, with gaming being secondary). I had been strongly leaning toward the...

    Diagnosing BSOD (Hal.dll)

    Nah I didn't think to notice if it BSOD'ed before or after running windows update. I don't think it did but it seems to happen in groups. For example I could be checking my email with only firefox running have it BSOD, reboot, and then while windows just booting up it could BSOD again only to...

    Diagnosing BSOD (Hal.dll)

    When the BSOD's started the first thing I did was update all of my drivers. My Nvidia drivers were only a version or so behind but that didn't help and when I reinstalled windows I just grabbed the latest ones.

    Diagnosing BSOD (Hal.dll)

    I was wondering if you guys might have some good pointers on diagnosing my machine before I sink any money into it. For the past month or so I've been getting BSOD's (caused by hal.dll according to bluescreenviewer) once or twice a day but for the past couple of days its gotten worse (every...

    Tribes Ascend now live

    Actually its Unreal Engine 3. There has to be something going on with ATI cards/drivers and this game though. It seems the only people who are complaining about bad framerate are ATI owners. My machine isn't the latest but this game runs 100% smooth rock solid 60fps (Q9300, 8gb ram, 560gtx) but...

    Tribes Ascend now live

    Same here. To rocket across the map at great speeds you just have to learn to ski and skiing in this version of Tribes is easy. Just hold down the space bar to slide down hills and use your jet pack to climb up and keep your speed up.

    Tribes Ascend now live

    I still have this gut reaction of EWWWW when I give free to play games a shot. I really find the whole thing distasteful not having to earn things just buying your way to the top of the gear ladder. With that all said Tribes Ascend is a truckload of fun. I can see myself playing it just as...

    Gaming PC under $500?

    I thought those Llano based laptops had Radeon HD 6620G and they aren't dedicated (and the cheapest one I saw was $700 and the cpu was only 1.6ghz). I just want him to end up with the best performing machine he can for not a lot of $$ and not be back in the position he's in right now which is a...

    Gaming PC under $500?

    I fully understand there would be no room for upgrade (extras of any sort) with that PSU but I thought it would still handle the load of the above build. You guys are probably right though its not really something to cut a corner on.

    Gaming PC under $500?

    So my friend is needing a new gaming PC but he doesn't have much in the way of cash and is asking me for advice. He first had me looking at some $400 dell desktops at bestbuy's site (he's got a couple of BB gift cards to go with some cash) a long with some sub-$600 laptops (He's kind of torn I...

    New video card causing audio havoc!

    I just recently was forced to replace my 8800gtx with a brand spankin new GTX 560ti and its causing me all sorts of audio issues. The hdmi audio works fine but the problem is I want to disable it so I can keep using my onboard audio (I've got some stuff hooked up to line in etc..). I've tried...

    Nvidia to unleash new GTX 560 Ti (448 Core)

    Well shoot my old 8800gtx gave up the ghost a few days ago so I just had ordered a EVGA SuperClocked GTX 560ti. Ah well at least it's one of the higher default clock speed ones.

    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings ann.

    I can't register either keeps telling me I already have an account (I don't recall setting one up on their site) and when I try and recover it they don't send me the email. Also my launcher has the DLC button greyed out and says I still need to register to gain access to things such as "Troll...
