Hi, I built a new PC a few weeks ago and it's been crashing every time it comes out of extended sleep, takes +- 5-10 seconds it just crashes and reboots. At first when I checked the event viewer it was the key authentication that seemed to give critical errors so I bought a new CDKey and it...

Good morning, I bought that and it's coming in today but I'm wondering if it's good enough? I've always used stock cooler in the past so I have no real idea of what im doing... I won't really OC anything I just need to it run well. Thanks!

Hi, I just got shipping confirmation on my GPU and since all I need now is a motherboard and a CPU I'm kinda confused as to what I should get to match my build, it's been over 7 years since I've done one and there are a bunch of new things that confuses me and I'd hate to get something that...

I need to build a computer for my stepfather , he currently owns an 8yo laptop that's dying he doesn't have many requirements but he likes to stream HD movies, does alot of webcam with his kids/grandkids and reads e-mails. The only thing that worries me is the HD streaming to his TV, I'm...

I'm doing a fresh install when I receive my new processor tomorrow sadly my Windows 7 cd is from release so I need to download everything and it's a very long process. Add the fact that I'm also doing it on the GF's computer and it's twice the bandwith (limited) and time. Is there a way I...

Good morning, I'm actually upgrading two computers (mine and the GF's) , the only difference will be the graphic card since she plays mostly WoW and The Sims 3. Onto the quiz : 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? Gaming only (GF plays WoW, Sims 3...

Good morning, I have a 6950 that I've been using for maybe a year and a half it was working fine but recently it started lagging, I first noticed it when I reinstalled D3 and I had to lower ALOT of settings to minimum. I'm playing on 1900x1200 so nothing crazy there. Anyways, it was still...

Hi, I just bought a Surface RT and I'd like to know if it's possible to use it as a remote. My TV is connected to my computer by HDMI but I have to get up everytime I want to pause/change program, etc. Can I VNC or Remote into my computer and control it from the couch with the tablet...

Hi, Yesterday my games started lagging and I couldn't understand why, I downloaded GPU-Z and... I think I found what the problem is, my card Core Clock and Memory are going from their normal settings to 250mhz on the core and 150mhz on the memory. How can I fix that and why did it start...

Hi, I don't have access to a computer so I'm posting from my blackberry, I'll make it short and sexy :) The gf wants a spare computer to play games while playing WoW (griffon rides...) so my guess is to use my cpu/mb/ram for that as I have everything else needed. So, I need those 3...

Morning, So everything was working fine and all of a sudden everytime I tried to open AMD Vison engine control my computer froze. Odd. So I tried to install new drivers, impossible, froze everytime. Tried to uninstall with the driver tool, froze. Tried to uninstall manually, I can delete...

I've been playing this for a week and it's really addictive. It's basicly a browser capitalism-like game. Don't be put off by the main page, it's a deep game with an economy (stock market, build your own store, production, etc) I invite you all to check it out, this game need more...

Hi, My older Dell (can't remember the model but it's a 20 inches) is kinda dying, there's a shadow on the left side so I figure it's probably the backlight dying (though to be honest, I know NOTHING about monitors). Now, I usually buy my stuff in Canada but I'm in luck, my mom is in...

My girlfriend has the sims 3 on her HDD and I bougher her an SSD to put it on (stupid slow game). Question is, is it like WoW where you move the folder there and it works or I need to uninstall and reinstall everything? Also, there's a 2nd folder in the users/my doc/electronic arts...

Hi, I'm mostly looking for general advise on 2 (maybe 3) uppgrades. I'm currently using a 9600GT and it's obvious it won't be able to run BF3 at any decent setting so I need to uppgrade. Thing is, I don't want to spend too much money. Other thing is, my PSU blows. And last thing is, my...

Hey, There's a 10$ difference between the following two cards Gigabyte Radeon HD 6870 Windforce - 190$ - 30$ MIR = 160$ vs XFX Radeon HD 6870 - 170$ - 20$ MIR = 150$ If you were to buy one of the two cards right now, which one would you pick since they're the "same" card?

Good morning, My girlfriend computer is currently running an old Core2Duo @ something like 2.3GHZ (over 2-3yrs old). I recently bought her a 6850 to uppgrade her gaming fun in WoW sadly it seems like it's not enough. I could buy the following bundle, would it be a good uppgrade for her...

Hi, I've been eyeing these 2 case and I wonder which one is the "best", they're both priced similar. I won't be putting anything in SLI/CF or any huge GFX card in there so space shouldn't be an issue. Though I do plan to add more SSD (I have one right now) so this needs consideration...

Good morning, I need to buy a new mouse for my girlfriend and she has rather small hands. Which mouse would you recommend, I'd need one with a few extra buttons for keybinds since she plays mostly WoW and wants to start keybinding (more dps! lol) I've been looking at the G500 and people...

I need to buy something (you know the feeling!) and I'd like to get a pair of SSD, one for me and one for my GF. Can you fit Win7 and World of Warcraft on a single 64GB SSD? If it's possible, will I see a noticable performance increase or it's going to be relativly the same? (Note, we're...

So, my first idea was to buy a use Core2Quad to uppgrade her old computer but then thought, my girlfriend deserves better than that, so, here I am. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc WoW, Internet (Facebook), Sims 3 2) What's your budget? Are...

If a motherboard is able to run a Core2Duo , can we safely assume it can run a Core2Quad? Just wondering, I want to cheaply upprade my GF cpu without having to change the motherboard and ram. Thanks

First of all, I want to know if this is relatively "futur proof" I don't uppgrade often and when I do, I don't buy the top if the line since my budget is limited (adult life FTW lol) Anyways, I didn't plan on uppgrading but I can't play Civ5 unless I set everything to low and that's just...

Is this a good deal? Can't find much info on the CPU on the web, looking for a cheap, cheap uppgrade and this is well... cheap but I don'T want "will die in a year, cheap" n c i x.com/products/index.php?sku=56243&vpn=X4%20900E%20%26%20770-G45&manufacture=Bundle%20Deals&promoid=1101 for...

Hi, Alright so I basicly built 2 computers (well, virtually so far!) and while one is cheaper, I wonder in the long run if the price difference will make a big difference. Note that I won't do some hardcore OCing and I'm reusing my old 9600GT for the time being, also reusing my hard drive +...

Hi, 1680x1050 is starting to be obsolete but I love my screen and I'm not gonna ditch it. That said, my current card is a 9600GT. Nothing too fancy but it does the job, or he did the job... anyway, at this resolution, what's the cheapest card I can get that'll run "everything" at max...

I'm trying to figure out how much I need to fork out for a new system and being "short" on cash I want to reuse my old parts as much as possible. What can you run with an Enermax 450w PSU? Bought it 2 years ago or so, paid a hefty price for it. I'm not quite sure what I'll build yet, but...

I used to play this ages ago but I can't remember the name. Basicly, you had planets, lots of it, and you could attack other players with spaceships and stuff... At first it was free but then they made it pay-to-play and it kinda died. It wasn't "real" time but it was turn based either...

Hi, I'm looking for a really cheap and/or free TIF Virtual printer. It doesn't need any cool features, as long as it prints and save the tif to a specified folder. I've tried alot of them and sadly most are 50$+ per license and with this economy and the need for 100+ license it's a bit...

Dunno where they took the models for that game but it's the best looking one for any web-based game ever. Didn't even tried it, just enjoying the ads. Yes/no ?

alright... situation: My mom and her bf are in florida and they decided "hey I want a new laptop" So they go to Staples and there's a HP Pavillion DV7-1232 on sale for 649$. They ask me if it's decent, I check it out quickly and it seems like a "decent" deal. Now... here's where the...
