I could have gone for a 30 incher, Dell, or Samsumg etc, but its a bit like having a huge TV right in front of your nose, and unless you push it back a bit, it can be a wee bit overwhelming. I opted for a Dell U2711, and @2650x1440 res (almost that of the 30 incher) it games VERY well on my...

dont know really, i;m just wondering if SAFE mode "unscrambled" something, like a "hardware reset??" - not tried it on lap top yet since ive got it working, will do in a minute though (VGA/JDMI camle - as no DVI on laptop) You mentioned "haitline crack", well actually, i DID get a hair...

Apparently, there was/is NOTHING wrong with the screen at ALL, I booted into safe mode before ringing tech support up, and after reboot all was fine. I think it was the Logitech software that caused it as it did happen when i was loading the web cam S/W in (logitech HD webcam Pro c910), it...

Hi, i've had Dell UltraSharp U2711 27 (not as the title typo says:) for about 2 months now, and all of a sudden tonight, half the screen turned black and the other a grey like colour. It then went to "normal" mode |(not black or grey that is), but half the screen is garbled, and looks...

This was taken from another forum, but it was Akin to what i saw earlier on tonight whilst in the bios: My Vcore was.2.4 though, i remember that one. Is this the same core as you would use when overclocking (EG: my Voltage on CPU is about 1.12@ 3Ghz) (or was) Overclocked it was 1.34@ 3.92...

Hi closers, did that (removed battery - not "shorted the CMOS though), but no change, but will have another go later (in UK here so 2.20 AM in the morning:( (However, in the past after a bad bios flash, my pc has been know to "boot to windows" next day when not booting at all the on the...

thanks Danny. Not got accesss to anyone whos got one local. Thanks, but wondering why my USB ports only work when my keyboard is "half-plugged in? (when fully plugged in ther is no response at all - like a "polarity issue"), could a broken cpu effect this?, or would that be a mobo issue?

hi notleh, its a "TX Corsair 650 watt" (53 amps on one rail) - my previous one was an ocz-gamestream 850 watt. I'm sure 650 watts should be enought though - plenty to be honest. @closers. no, not got another rig, just this one. How is it possible to tell a cpu has blown, or the mobo for...

Hello, I brought a new power supply today after my other one blew last 2 days ago Anyway, to cut it short, I put the new psu in, and it worked - but then it started cutting off *rebootting" I then got a prompt "***Warning H/W Monitor Status Abnormal*** Please enter the setup to check...

Thanks evilssofa, your input was much appreciated. thanks.

To save starting anotherr thread, i may be getting one of these monitors with a new system. What i want to know is though, what sort of cabling's will i need to get full 2560 x 1440?, i would be using a pair of GTX 480's in sli *OR* 1 ATI 5970/5870 (tri-fire) Would I be able to get 2560 x...

Hello, I recently purchased a Radeon XFX-5970 BE, and put it in my system (see below), and started off by running a few benchmarks and games to test it. First off, I got the official drivers (Cat 10.3), and ran Vantage. I used the default “performance” mode for comparison. My...

Just read my post (1st) over again - twice, and mystifies me how some people here don't understand it anyway, time to move on.......

Well, I've formatted now, and have Vista (64 bit) on for the time being, until i get Win7 (22nd oct). second down from left "Create an image back-up" in the case picture above, and the link posted further up, I think it is clear i was talking about an image-backup. wether i...
