Hey everyone.. I don't really have any friends that know much about building systems so I figured I'd come here to ask for a bit of help! My brother's computer.. which is a hand-me-down of my first computer I ever built finally is shitting out and I figured he needs a new machine. I have a...

Hey everyone, I'm in a delimma. I push my power button and nothing happens. Naturally I'd think it was the power supply but the motherboard light is on. Could this be the switch? If so, does anyone know the specs of a replacement switch? Ahh help! Thanks guys/gals.

I've always used ATItool to test stability of my cards / overclocks, and this new 260 GTX I've had for the past week or so confuses me a little.. when I run ATItool, even at stock clocks I get "delta of 284 in 2 pixels" sometimes and sometimes I don't. The thing is that it runs pretty much every...

I've read this somewhere.. that if you use a mail-in rebate, such as the "20$ mail-in rebate" currently with their 6 day anniversary sale and such, that it voids your ability to even step-up your card. I can't seem to find anyone else talking about it anywhere, so I thought I'd just ask here...

Hello all.. I have a pretty troublesome problem. Randomly my monitor will just go blank and the light will flash, just as if I would turn off my computer. The problem is that the computer is still running and the only way I can fix it is to reboot the machine. The CPU and GPU temps are fine, and...

I'm really getting the itch to upgrade to a 260 GTX. I run at 1920x1200 resolution so I'm sure I would get some nice increases.. but I need others input. I don't think any of my system would bottleneck it.. correct me if I'm wrong though please! Even though the 8800 GTS is a great card.. it can...

Hey everyone, for the life of me I cannot figure out what cables go in what pins to get pretty much everything working in the front (usb, reset button, etc). The only one ive figured out so far is the power button.. this may sound dumb, but does anyone know which ones go where or a guide...

Hello all, well.. today's payday and I have an extra 300$. Currently running a 8800 GTS 512mb and feeling like a little upgrade and I can't decide between the 4870 or the 260 (non 216 version.. it's cheaper). I'm pretty much just wandering which is the better for 1920x1200 gaming? They both seem...

Hello everyone, I think I haven't seated my processor right from the beginning but haven't taken the time to reseat it. I currently idle at 36-37c and full load around 53-55c. Is this high for my processor and my Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro? My main reason for this question is that I want to OC...

I have a 8800 GTS G92 card and use 177.35 drivers. I'm using riva tuner and use some fan speed profiles. I'll set it to 70% and then sometimes randomly it'll go from 1227 RPM to 750's with out me doing a thing. I'm fairly certain it's the drivers.. but I really have no idea. Help anyone?
