I have a Mionix Naos 7000 optical mouse. It was highly accurate, but had a scroll wheel issue, so I RMA'd it to Mionix. While it was out for repair, I reinstalled windows. I have reinstalled the MarkC mouse fix, set "enhance pointer precision" off, have the Windows mouse sensitivity set to 6...

A blast from the past, I know. I've got an Asus P8P67 Pro right now, which suffers from the Marvell SATA degradation problem. Thus only two SATA ports work, which sucks. My CPU (2600k) is plenty fast, and for now I'd rather just replace the mobo rather than the entire system. Among the used...

I sold an AT&T router/modem on ebay and forgot to reset the router before doing so. Stupid move, but I assumed that routers don't really store any data worth worrying about. From everything I can find, the buyer would have access to the name of my network, the names of devices that connected...

I've got an Asus P8P67 Pro board and I'm trying to make use of the blue marvell 3gb SATA ports. As far as I can recall, these ports never worked, which makes me think it might be a driver issue rather than the sandy bridge defect. Is there any way to either resolve this issue or figure out...

I have an AT&T Uverse and I have had one heck of a time setting up my new Asus AC66U router. I followed the video below, and I've transcribed the steps I took. Then I list off some of the strange errors I've encountered. Any advice appreciated. These steps may be of use to anyone who is...

I'm looking to upgrade from my HD 6950 (shaders unlocked to 6970 specs). Given my budget (about $300) I think the GTX 770 might be the best upgrade path. I'm wondering how substantial of a FPS difference I should expect if I go through with this. I game at 1440p, I'm using a 2600k OC'd to...

I've had the P5N-D board since 2008, and the Marvell (blue) SATA ports seem to have been dead for the vast majority of that time. I seem to recall reading that the Marvell controllers were faulty, and died on all these boards. However, I can't find anything regarding this issue online now. I...

I'm getting really odd results from www.speedtest.net in the past couple of weeks. The AT&T tech replaced my ethernet socket, cable, and modem a couple of weeks ago, and my router settings were reset in the process. Since then when running the test on my mac laptop I'm getting these results with...

I've been searching around for a couple of hours now and it seems that a lot of people are having issues with their WD1003FZEX 1TB drives. They say that the access times are in the 15-20ms range, which is on par with the Blue line of drives, and not at all near the 10-13ms access times that...

Around 9:30PM tonight my internet started to act up. First it seemed like the DSL coming into the house was having trouble, but now I am having trouble even running video over my LAN (from my desktop to my phone). My ping on places like speedtest.net is usually 30-50, and my download speed is in...

Really weird problem updating my bios. When I try use the Asus EZ Flash built into UEFI it repeatedly tells me that the bios file failed an integrity check. This is despite downloading the file (P8P67-PRO-ASUS-3602.ROM) multiple times from different locations, and using different USB sticks...

I just installed my 840 Pro and I wanted to show my method/results to see if I'm missing anything. Here was my process (which might help anyone looking to install theirs too) 1. Plug 840 Pro into external drive bay, updated firmware to DXM04B0Q using the Samsung Magician software 2...

When I open my Toshiba Portege to take it out of hibernate, the screen very briefly (for about a second) looks really crisp and the brightness/gamma looks ideal, but then some color profile seems to take over, making it brighter and more washed out. I've adjusted my gamma as low as possible...

I've got an Asus VW222U 22 inch right now. The pixel pitch is 0.282mm. I'm looking to upgrade to a larger monitor with better colors and clarity. After researching a bit, I settled on the Planar PX2710MW (http://www.planar.com/products/flatpanel_monitors/px2710mw/). It looked perfect until I saw...

My system 6950 unlocked with 6970 BIOS 2600k OC'd to 4.6 GHz 8gb Gskill Ripjaw PSU - Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650W Asus P8P67 Pro mobo I've been getting periodic BSODs for a few weeks now, and I just can't pin down the cause. I've stress tested my GPU, CPU and ram separately using Furmark...

Whether I use Trixx or Afterburner, my fan profile is forgotten on every reboot. I have a custom fan profile on my 6950 (unlocked with a 6970 bios) and regardless of which program I have start up on reboot, they don't set the fan profile properly. In fact they always start with it stuck on 50%...

I was just playing Metro 2033 on my MSI 6950 unlocked to a 6970 when my screen suddenly lost its signal (such that its light went from blue to orange to indicate inactivity) and suddenly the fan on my 6950 went to full speed such that it sounded like a damn hairdryer. The computer was also...

I'm messing around with the OC that the asus auto tool gave me, and I'm getting some overvolting that I didn't expect to see. I've got the CPU voltage set to 1.25 in the Asus AI Suite, with LLC on regular, yet under load CPUZ is reporting that it gets up to 1.33 volts, or 0.08 higher than it...

I just got my 2600k on an Asus P8P67 Pro running last night after a 9 hour grueling build session. I've run some stress tests today (one instance of IntelBurnTest) on maximum stress level and no core has gotten over 54C. I also played a little BFBC2 and got 60+ fps nearly constantly (with 8gb...

I just built a Sandy Bridge machine (Asus P8P67 Pro, 2600k, GSKILL Ripjaw, AMD 6950, along with an old 1tb WD drive and Corsair 650w PSU) and installed Windows 7 fresh. My mouse (Logitech G9) is on and usable (in bios and during boot) right up to the moment when Windows 7 boots. It was also...

I've experienced total system freeze ups recently when my system is under strain in a visually intensive game. I figured the issue was the GPU, and after some testing in Furmark it appeared that the GPU was indeed overheating and crashing. However, I just got a new GPU tonight (HD 6950), and...

I just switched to an ATI 6950 from a Nvidia GTX 260, so I needed to uninstall the Nvidia drivers and swap to the ATI drivers. My Nvidia was already in a box ready to ship back to EVGA when my new ATI card arrived. I attempted to safely remove the Nvidia drivers by installing the new ATI card...

I'm in a pickle. I'm about to buy a new Sandy Bridge rig, and I need a new GPU to go with it. I'm willing to spent 225-300 on the card. Having done a bunch of research, I've abandoned the Nvidia cards (too hot and expensive for their performance) and settled on a HD 6XXX card. I've been won over...

I'm really enjoying BFBC2, but my system is having a difficult time keeping up on high settings. Where will I get the best bang for my buck in regards to upgrading? I'm considering a total system upgrade, but I intend to wait for Intel's Sandy Bridge to drop before I do that. I'm currently...
