Hi all. I built a new system recently and noticed that it sometimes takes a full minute to post during a cold boot. During this time, I have no video signal and the "GEFORCE RTX" LED on my video card is off. After a minute, the LED finally turns on and it posts. It's intermittent. Sometimes it...

Anyone else noticing poor performance in Windows 11 file explorer? Please run these tests: 1. Open a folder with a lot of files and move your mouse cursor up and down over those files. Do you get a lot of skipped highlights? Skipped highlights meaning the cursor passes over the files but it...

This is one of the most mind blowing video game trailers I've seen. The graphics, the animation, the mobility, the gameplay variety. It all looks so incredible.

Seems like a HUGE discount for Prime day. I was thinking about getting a 49" ultrawide for work purposes (programming) but the quality control on these things has me leery.

I can't believe there isn't a thread on this. It's criminal, CRIMINAL I tell ya! I'll get straight to the point. This is one of the most delightful games I've ever played. The graphics are something straight out of a Disney/Pixar film. Absolutely gorgeous. Voice acting and humor are top notch...

I know they *should* be screwed down, but does the screw serve any purpose other than holding the drive down? Does it act as a electrical ground or anything like that? Reason I ask is because one of the M.2 posts on my mobo seems smaller than usual. The M.2 screws that came with the motherboard...

For anyone with Windows 10, can you run this quick test? Right click an empty space on your desktop to open the context menu. Continue right clicking on various empty spaces on your desktop. Do this 10+ times. The more the better. Does the context menu begin opening more and more delayed? I'm...

These connectors have got to go. It's 2019. There has to be a better way. I spent the last few days troubleshooting some PSU issues which involved swapping different PSUs back and forth between systems. Which meant a lot of plugging and unplugging of the above types of cables. My fingers were...

So I built my first SFFPC and unfortunately the PSU is screeching away like no tomorrow. Take a listen, this is just loading up the Hitman 2 menu screen: https://clyp.it/s0tzml13?token=acb566a5af6a9a9b155d3288609cb455 Interestingly enough, it doesn't happen with Resident Evil 2. I guess Hitman...

I'm looking to purchase a mini-itx board (specifically, the Asus Z390i) along with a 9900k but there was a review on Newegg that concerned me. The guy said he had to buy an 8 series CPU just to update the bios to be able to support a 9900k. Is this true? Should I be looking for another...

Are we allowed to self promote in here? If not, I apologize, and please take this down. Otherwise... I released my first Android game today called Rated M. It's based on Cards Against Humanity. What really sets it apart from Cards Against Humanity is the ability to submit picture cards. Using a...

I don't know why, but this game randomly popped into my head and I have no idea what it was called. Only some vague details: It was a first person shooter, on PC at the very least. Took place in a sci-fi-ish setting and featured portals (perhaps even before Portal came out). I believe that...

Both of these are less than one year used. Purchased brand new from Newegg on 10/02/2014 and 11/14/2014 (invoice available upon request). Removed from my system mid-August. Never overclocked. I upgraded to a 980 Ti so I have no use for these anymore. I hope someone else can enjoy them as much...

I have a Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SSD. Only two months old. I've been having an intermittent problem at boot. Happens approximately once out of every 5 boots. I will get to the Windows logo after POST, or simply a black screen, and then it will sit there for like 10 minutes with a solid HD...

How does this not have a thread yet? Looks incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frRfo4sKxtk I need to stay far away. Games like this are a time sink. But damn, this is hitting me right in the childhood feels. $14.99 on Steam Early Access.

I have a Sandisk SSD just under 3 years old. Recently it has started to fail the S.M.A.R.T. test during POST so I had do disable the test in BIOS. The drive boots fine most of the time, but other times it will fail to read files during boot and Windows won't load. Is this something that a...

Windows desktop does vsync without any input lag when moving the cursor around. Yet once you run a full screen game with vsync on it's a total lag fest. Why is that?

Which do you prefer? ULMB has the biggest wow factor for me. Even with a ROG Swift, 144Hz GSYNC still blurs. But turn on ULMB and all of a sudden the backgrounds come in sharp focus. It kind of seems like a waste of money to have a GSYNC monitor and not use it though. So I guess I'll have...

Is there any visual benefit to gaming > 1080p? I understand that a having a higher pixel density will result in a sharper image, and perhaps less anti-aliasing will be needed thus resulting in a slightly less blurry image. But are there any other benefits? Do the textures in games benefit at...

I just built my parents a computer and I'm having a hard time getting Windows setup to recognize the hard drive. OS is Windows 8 Pro. Hardware is as follows: Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme4 Hard Drive: WD Raptor WD1500ADFD It's an older drive (2008) that I had lying around. Figured I...

Hey guys, My parents' computer recently turned off and went up in smoke out of nowhere. I took it outside, inspected it, and saw that this cable had melted (the one connecting to the video card). I replaced this cable with a new one, turned the computer on, and just like...

I don't really know anything about HTPC's, but I do know that listening through headphones, even cheap headphones (Sony MDR-V6 studio monitors) sounds sooo much better than my Klipsch 5.1 system (it's actually a Logitech Z-5500 matched with Klipsch 5.1 satellites). The clarity of the headphones...

Selling 2x Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB cards (GV-N460OC-1GI) Purchased brand new from Newegg 10/24/2010 Only installed in one system, always handled properly. Never overclocked, never caked in dust. This is the closest you will get to having brand new cards without actually being brand new. :p...

Update - BL2 sold, AC3 still available. Lowered price to $15 Got these game cards with a video card purchase on newegg. BL2 should activate on Steam and AC3 should activate on uplay. Note that these are codes to redeem the games, not physical media. $15 for AC3 Heatware: jaguax

I recently updated the BIOS for my motherboard. Asus Rampage III Formula. I updated it using the Asus EZ Flash 2 feature of the BIOS. Update went without a hitch. I restored factory defaults and powered down. Ever since the update, every time I turn my computer on (cold start), it will power...

Is there a log or something that I could look at after the computer randomly reboots? All I was doing was browsing the web and the screen just went black and rebooted. No error messages, no blue screen, nothing. Second time this has happened in the past few weeks. :(

When you have multiple displays of differing resolutions, the cursor will get stuck at the top most or bottom most edges while trying to transition from the bigger monitor to the smaller one. For example, if one monitor is 1600 pixels tall and the other is 1200 pixels tall, there will be a 400...

Explain to me something. If you guarantee that your exquisite $1200 display has ZERO bright dots, then why don't you have a QA team verify it before packing it up? 2nd ZR30w now. Returned the first due to a bright green pixel. Just turned on the new one, and within one minute of putting on a...

Anyone else experiencing crashing in BF3? The game just freezes and/or exits out. Is there a log somewhere that I can check for the specific error? Running ultra settings on dual 460 GTX's, Intel i7-950, newest official nvidia drivers, nothing overclocked (aside from the "stock" overclock on...

I had two computers hooked up through a hub to a Verizon DSL modem for years. Both computers could dial up and connect simultaneously without issue. But then one day Verizon must've changed something, because now only one computer can connect. Once a single computer is connected, the other one...

Just got a Panasonic P42S2 and noticed that when sitting close (like too close for comfort), there is greenish dots or "pixel noise" especially on the blacks/shadows. Noticed that changing the image setting from "Standard" to anything else pretty much removes them. "Standard" also happens to be...

I think I'm gonna bite on a Panasonic 42" plasma. This one to be precise: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889187153 Normally I wouldn't even consider Walmart but they allow their items to be returned to the store. So if there are any dead pixels, I can simply return it to...

Looking for some input from anyone who might own the same mobo. I installed the newest Realtek audio driver and then I installed the Creative Sound Blaster console software, both from asus.com. When I launch the console, it pops up a message saying: "The current selected audio device is...

This is a bit strange. I just did a new system build and a Win7 x64 install. I'm noticing a bit of slowdown (imagine low fps) intermittently when I drag a window to the edge of the screen and the aero glass animation plays. The window drag operation is kind of choppy during the glass animation...

Just looking for a few pointers here since the Corsair H70 instructions suck. I'm assuming it is to be installed in this configuration, with the tubes of the radiator on the bottom: About the tubes: How flexible are they? They feel pretty damn stiff to me and I'm a bit afraid to bend...

So at work I maintain and fix bugs on a huge library of code for various backend services. The amount of files is ridiculous and the header files are spread out over 300+ directories. Now the code is grouped under a logical directory structure but the header files are located across 300+...
