    Audio sync troubleshooting.

    I noticed last night that, when watching videos, my audio appears to be a frame or two off from the video -- that is, the audio plays very slightly after a visual cue. I tried playing in WMP and MPC-HC and VLC. I also tried my second monitor, and it occurs there too. I tried my speakers as well...

    Been out of the loop for years, but want a new build.

    Thanks for the builds so far! @Danny I noticed in your build you included a case. Is this because you think I should replace my current case (as mentioned in the OP, I have a Antec P180) or was it a mistake? If it was by mistake, since it's $50 that would cover DooKey's GPU's...

    Been out of the loop for years, but want a new build.

    I forgot to put my city: I am in Duluth, which is a few hours north of Minneapolis. I might be able to go there, but I'm unsure when I'd be able to -- and I need to upgrade within the next week or two because my dinosaur is starting to show signs of impending death, so it'd probably be best to...

    Been out of the loop for years, but want a new build.

    It's come time to replace this dinosaur (going on nine years old now... she's been a trooper). I've been totally out of the loop for the past few years though, so I'm unsure what the latest greatest tech is. If you guys could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it! 1) What will you be doing...

    PS question

    Hello everyone, I’m in the process of putting together of a system. Only one real question that I cant seem to find a solid answer to. Below are the main specs of the computer (go ahead and comment on what you think). I’m still questioning the vid cards. I know I want to run 285 SLI but...

    Including the same content on all pages (perhaps PHP?)

    Okay. :cool: What else do I need to do? Do all my pages need to end in .php? Does the "recentreviews.htm" page need anything special?

    Including the same content on all pages (perhaps PHP?)

    Hello, I am coding a site, but it's been so long that I've totally forgotten how to do PHP includes. I am starting an anime review site so on all pages I want a "Recent Reviews" box next to my menu. Obviously, it would be quite time-consuming to have to edit every single freakin' page...

    XP - Folder won't delete. Keeps recreating itself.

    Yesterday, I made a folder in my My Music directory and put some .mp3s in it that my friend wanted. After sending the music to him over AIM, I decided to delete the folder. I started up my computer today and went into My Music, and the folder was there again. I opened it and there's nothing...

    Need aftermarket cooler suggestions.

    BUMP. Please help. :eek:

    Need aftermarket cooler suggestions.

    The cooler on my 7600GS (AGP) recently died, and BFG is being stupid about it. First, they told me to buy a new PSU because that was the problem. After testing it I found that it wasn't the issue (which was obvious before I even tested it), and they then told me that they are willing to send me...

    Does this sound like a video card issue?

    I checked the fan bearing by moving it with my finger as you suggested and it does indeed make a grinding noise even when barely moving it. I contacted BFG again and I finally got them to agree to send me a "replacement", although he sounded more like he will send a new heat sink rather than...

    Does this sound like a video card issue?

    Ah, okay. My BIOS doesn't have a voltage option that I could find so I downloaded the PCWizard program (which BFG recommended and seems to be basing their "omg it's your power supply's fault" argument on). Anyway, I'm fairly certain the fan is the problem as far as the noise is concerned...

    Does this sound like a video card issue?

    I cleaned the dust out of the case when I first suspected overheating to see if it would fix the fan's noise. It didn't. :( I will try Master_Pain's suggestion of testing the fan bearing later tonight. After playing Fable for an hour just now, on high settings, 1024x768, no AA, the card maxed...

    Does this sound like a video card issue?

    So my BFG 7600GS (AGP) has been acting up lately. I've had it since last January, and recently Fable and Battlefield 2 have been lagging and crashing (usually to a blank screen that I can't resolve without manually resetting my PC). I opened the case because I suspected overheating and found...

    Suggestions please! NOT Creative!

    Hello! I have had troubles with Creative sound cards in the past and want something new. I was looking at the Turtle Beach Montego DDL, but since I only have a 2.1 speaker setup (with no plans to upgrade anytime soon) I think it's a bit of a waste considering it, logically, was made for DDL. I...
