this is what I am using for a power supply. Running 2 hard drives and a blue ray player plus the 760 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020 I am running windows 8.1 with nothing disabled. I am running a Dell U2412M UltraSharp 24" LED Monitor via the DVI-D connection.

I do not. But I did not have a flicker problem with the computer using my old card with the same monitor.

The flicker covers only part of the screen, I would estimate about 1/5th of the screen in a big thick grouping of horizontal lines. Its literally a flicker, meaning its there and gone in under a second. It always seems to be on the bottom half of the screen.

Thus far I have uninstalled the drivers, gone through and made sure nothing else was installed by nvidia from previous installations, uninstalled the card in device manager, and reinstalled the video card with current drivers. I have downloaded and ran 3dmark 11 to see if I could essentially...

Unfortunately I have already done this with no effect.

I just installed a Gigabyte GTX 760. Before that I was using a Nvidia 560. Never had any problems with the old card. After installing the new card I get a weird screen flicker. It doesn't happen all the time and strangely doesn't seem to happen when the video card is in active use. Rather when I...

Well I intend to play wildstar for one. I will probably play some other very popular games when they come out. Whenever elderscrolls gets around to releasing a new version of their game that is not an MMO, or something made by blizzard etc.

What do people think is the cheapest mid range gaming PC, one I buy in one piece like an open box model from new egg or one I build myself? I have built my last 4 PCs and its fun , but I did it in the past because it was cheaper. I am on a two year upgrade cycle and with Wildstar coming out soon...

For a video card it looks like I will need to go to nvidia if I want something cool and relatively quiet without sacraficing power or paying 50 dollars more. Specifically something like this: MSI N560GTX-M2D1GD5 GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI...

Sounds good to me!. I went ahead and updated my list to include the MSI mobo, heatsink, ram, and hard drive. I am not sure about that video card because reviews are commenting a lot about how loud it is. These big cards are all loud, but with everyone making special mention about just how loud...

What specifically do you not like about hsf, ram and hdd? And do you have any suggestions for new ones?

I am building a new computer, but before I pull the trigger on the components I wanted to run it by the collective consciousness and find out if 1) I should be buying slightly different components for better performance/cheaper price or 2) My selected components are not compatible. Intel Core...

I plan to go ahead and reformat the XP machine to widnows 7 while I have it down. Even if this time its not the XP machine, it could have been ;)

Hello, Yesterday I received an email from a friend of mine telling me that my mother's email account had spammed him with a penis enlargement ad. Since my mother as a rule does not send out such ads I felt it was pretty safe to say that her computer was infected. The problem was figuring out...

This video looks pretty good to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jofruouiUo Around halfway through this fellow tests youtube videos in standard def and hd both in full screen and regular. It seems hd in full screen via flash does give it a stutter but standard def in full screen does...

My 5 year old lenovo that's using standard (for the day) intel integrated graphics can play full screen hulu and do all the things I need my netbook to do. (actually I am trying to get the netbook to replace the lenovo). So really what I'm looking for is first hand experience from folks with...

This all sounds good, it means I can buy a netbook without fear of getting stuttering when watching videos which in all fairness will probably be about 1/3rd of the use I put the machine to. I appreciate the recommendations for ION but unless someone sells such a machine for less then 300 its...

Hello, I am in the market for a netbook. For the most part I want it for simply tasks like web, and word processing. However an absolute essential requirement will be smooth full screen video playback. This could be something as basic as hulu and youtube or something more intensive like a...

Searching for "Games Explorer" worked perfectly. Thank you!

Hello, I want to link my windows 7 games folder directly to the desktop. However as strange as it sounds I can't seem to find it anywhere. I've made text files with unique names and stuck them into the games folder and then run searches on those files and still can't find the games folder. At...

If you take a movie with your personal camcorder then watch it on tv, it looks like it was taken with your camcorder.. If you watch your standard holywood movie it looks different, its got better lighting, it doesn't look like your camcorder video. The movies on this tv look like it came from a...

Hello, I just purchased a Samsung 46" LCD along with a Sony Blue-Ray player. When I run movies (even dvd's but especially bluerays) the result is that the movie ends up looking very very cheesy. I mean we are talking B-grade porno here. I can't decide if its the sharp edges, or the...

Hello, For a while now I've been having serious problems with my new computer. At random times (anywhere from once every 6 hours to once every 30 seconds the computer will bluescreen and restart). I am currently running windows vista but in the past I've run windows 7 and there have been...

heh I know its a beta and thats really what I was expecting at this point. I was prepared for it to drop dead after the first few days, but when it lasted for 3 weeks with no problems I started to grow less worried about beta issues. After all its basically just a rehash of vista. At any rate I...

So I installed windows 7 beta (64 bit version) on my system a few days after it came available. I've been running it without almost any problems till about a week ago. Now it crashes every few minutes thus rendering the computer unusable. Any advice on how to rescue this install would be greatly...

Hello, I just put together a new computer and decided to install windows 7 on it. Along with the new OS comes IE 8. In most respects its a nice improvement over IE 7. I don't use IE much at all but not every site runs well (or at all) with firefox, so I do use IE on occasion. One feature...

Unfortunately there is just no way I'm going to be able to convince them that laying down cat5 wire is a good idea. These people are not gamers, they just want to be able to check email and surf the internet from inside their house when having a cup of coffee in the morning. I was not really...

Keep in mind that a G works when the leaves are off the trees some of the time. An N is supposed to have better range (I don't own an N so I have no first hand experience, but all reviews seem to agree that better range goes with the program). Also keep in mind that this is a rural area so...

Hiya, Some very good friends of mine have a brand spanking new laptop. I made sure said laptop had a wireless n card built in when they bought it. Now they want to use the laptop in their house away from their router. The router in question is in their office which is detached from their...

Hiya, I'm looking for a new router for some friends of the family. They have a new laptop that has a "N" card built in. Obviously the laptop can also read "g" signals. Right now they have whatever crappy router comcast gave them when they signed up for internet. What they are trying to do is...

Hello, As the resident geek in my family/circle of friends I get asked what to buy when people upgrade their computers. The latest is a slightly different twist on the norm. I have friends that heavily use a drawing program (similar to CAD but not quite) to make blueprints. They need a laptop...

Well I got some help from elsewhere and I settled on the new Samsung T220HD which retails for $380 at costco. I think its the best one around for the money by a pretty wide margin.

Hello, I'm looking to pickup a cheap HDTV as my first entry into the market. I'm looking for something in the sub $400 range (preferably around $350). This will be my first HDTV and I'm getting it mostly so I don't have to haul my 27" tube tv around. I'm also only going to be a max of 7' away...

Is there a reason you want wireless speakers built into your chair? In my experience either something is good at being a speaker or its good at being a chair, but trying to do both means a sub-par product. I invested some money into a chair and got one that was a quality piece of equipment. Mine...

It doesn't exist. The largest player you will get (on sale even) for $150 is a 16 gig. You need to break the 200 mark by a bit before you will see anything in the +40 gig range. Even at 16 gig your options are pretty limited. You might want to consider an 8 gig player if you only want to...

Hello I recently bought a Samsung P2 mp3 player. I love this little thing and I'm having a great time figuring out what I can do with bluetooth since the player supports it. What I want to do is figure out how I can turn my PC into a set of bluetooth speakers for the mp3 player. Meaning I...

Hello, I have a friend with a home business and he needs a sturdy business laptop. At the absolute limit the price is set at 1000$ with much preference to things being cheaper. The real emphasis here though is on it being sturdy. A metal case would be a huge plus since he is not as delicate...

Hello, A very good friend of mine (who knows nothing about computers) needs a new one and he needs it pretty fast. He runs his business on his computer and his old one just kicked the bucket. Before you ask, fixing it is not an option right now, and there is no way he can build one, now...

I think even with a 3 year warranty I'm SOL. I bought it right after it came out and I think that was at least 4 years ago.

About 3 weeks back I spilled water on my Logitech MX1000 charging/receiving station. Right away the mouse stopped working. I figured if I unplugged everything and let it dry out I would be ok. Three weeks later I must admit thats not the case. Now I need a replacement for my MX1000. I have...
