Hi all, I'm having a few problems with a new Sandybridge systems i'm putting together at the moment, mainly related to the hard drive and what seems a lack of UEFI boot support from the EFI BIOS. So far i've tried just about every google result to get windows 7 x64 to install in EFI mode with...

This is something ive been menaing to post about for ages :p A month or two ago i took my system apart to clean the dust out, since it was getting hot here. Ever since then i can barely overclock at all. I have an X2 4400+, 2GB of Corsair PC3200XL memory (4*512MB sticks, yes i know), DFI...

Im currently having a few problems with a system im putting togather for someone. Im unsure if the motherboard itself is at fault or not, but i require alittle advice on it regardless. The system is made up of a Sempron 3100+ (with the stock X2 heatsink on it), MSI K8N Neo Platinum, 1GB...

For some time now (months) ive been having increasing problems getting game profiles to work in the nvidia drivers, to the point now where no profiles work AT ALL apart from the global profile. Theres been some games which have never ever work with game profiels (like WoW for example) ever since...

OK im doing a build for a family member and i went with a maxtor HDD since they were slightly cheaper than the other brands (ive never used a maxtor HDD myself before) however ive been having nothing but trouble with it so far, so im looking for some advice before i RMA my second maxtor drive...

(i couldnt decide if this should go in displays or gaming, but i figured gaming was better..) Ok, a few days back i got myself a new 2405FPW, so far i love it. When i got it one plan i had was to connect my PS2 up to it via component, since ive always used my PS2 via my pc, but in the past...

Ok, i picked up WoW about a month ago, and for the life of me i cant get the control pannel profiles to work on it. Ive tried all the 80 release drivers (dont want to try older, i have a dual core cpu and want to keep my performance gains ;p). None of the profile settings do anything to the...

OK, firstly sorry if this is 'old news' or a repost or something. Im fairly new to WoW, plus i did a quick forums search and couldnt find a thread on this, so go easy on me ;). Ok, today i wanted to encode some video while playing games to save time (ahhh, i love this dual core cpu ;)) so i...

Ok i have an interesting problem when overclocking this new cpu. I picked up a 4400+ last week and started to overclock it, but i have a problem. So far ive been going slow in the overclocking. On monday i tried 11*209 (2.3GHz) and this seem fine. Primed it for an hour (not long i know, but...

OK heres a good one. Forgive me if this is a repost of some sort, but i sure dont ever remember seeing anything about this before. OK, a week ago on saturday i fitted a Zalman VF700-Cu to my GTX, all went fine and load temps dropped to 65C. Then alittle under a week later (on friday) i...

Well i picked up one of these for my system but i have a question. I notice on the 24pin ATX connector that 1 pin is well...missing, no cable in it at all. Now since this is the first 24pin PSU ive used, ive never seen this before. So can anyone tell me if its fine and should be like that, or if...

Well i got a new BFG Geforce 7800 GTX OC and put it in, but i notice its running at 460/1200 in 3D (and not 460/1300), also, all overclocking programs ive tried read the 3D default clock speeds as 460/1200. I guess its no big deal, as i was planning to OC it anyway, but anyone know whats up with...

Ok, i got a new DFI board, got it all installed today, and ive had nothing but problems with it. There seems to be a BIOS/CMOS problem with the board. When i first installed it all i got a blank screen when i turned it on. After resetting the CMOS it booted up. I went into the BIOS, changed a...

Im loking at going water cooling withint the next couple of month, and being a new to it i have a few questions. Firstly, are 80mm rads any good? I know the 120mm ones are better and more ideal, but my case isnt that big, and i wouldnt have room to even mod it to make a 120mm fit. I have dual...

Ok, weird question i know :o . Im gonna go water cooling on my X800 soonish and im gonna cut some ram sinks out of some ALU sinks i have lying around here, but im not sure what size BGA ram is, and my card is covered with an Silencer so i cant easily tell from that. Just wondered if anyone...
