So for the last two months my computer has been having random BSOD a couple of times a day. In the last week... - I tried formatting my HDD and that didn't fix it. - I just installed a NEW HDD and that didn't fix it. - I did an extended memory check and Windows found nothing wrong. - I took...

That build looks like exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming, Web Browsing. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? No more then 2000 $CAN with taxes and shipping included. 3) Where do you live? Canada, Ontario 4) What exact parts do you need for...

Everything is working well now with the standard drivers and the ATI Tools. It shows the temp and I was able to override the stock fan settings depending at what temp it is. Works very well. Thanks again.

Alright will do. Thanks.

This is my first ATI card so I'm kinda lost. I installed the Omega drivers because they are supposedly good and that they included ATI Tray Tools so I could check the temp and the fan speed. For the fan settings I have no idea where to find them. For the temp monitoring I go to Hardware ->...

I changed the motherboard, I was SURE it was the motherboard, but it wasn't. I tried new RAM an it still randomly shut down. I unplugged everything except an old HDD that wasn't part of the computer when the problem started to occur months ago. It still randomly shut down. I thought...

My computer randomly turns off. It doesn't give any error or any symptoms before turning off suddenly. It's been going on for a month or so. What I know is that it is not a problem related to something outside the computer like a bad power bar or a bad power cable for the PS. I also know that...

I got a new router today. One computer is wired to it and it's working fine. Also I'm currently on my new laptop and it detects and connects to the wireless network perfectly. The problem is with my desktop computer in my room. My netgear usb wireless adapter detects and "connects" to it with...

I've never had this kind of problem before so I don't know wtf is going on. I've got my wireless connection that connects to my router and i got my LAN connection that goes from my computer to the X360. When I try to share the connection, I get some weird Ip conflict or something. On...

It's currently idiling at 63c after playing 1 hour of FEAR. During the 30 minutes it went as high as 94c. It's a EVGA 7800GTX. My cpu is idling at 36c and went to 48c during playing (Opteron 165@2500mhz). I took out the card to see if their was alot of dust but their was barely any on the...

Ok well that's good. I managed to make it work again by using the repair option. So far I've restarted a bunch of time and it didn't freeze. I'm going to do some tests in the next week to figure out the true root of the problem. Some said it could be the HDD or the ram or my PSU...

I formated. From what I can see the problem is even worst now. It just freezes at the loading bar about 10 secondes in. And Norton Ghost seems to not work in safemode. I think I'm ****ed.

So my PC had a problem for awhile (well for a year, but I just ignored it until then). When I started it up, the WinXp load screen would appear and start loading, then 3 things could happen : 1. It loaded in 2 secondes. 2. It took like 5 minutes to load then it loaded. 3. It took 5...

I am currently using X-530 speakers with a Soundblaster Audigy2 Value. I was thinking of upgrading to Z-5500 and the basic X-Fi sound card. I was wondering what kind of difference it would make in terms of quality? Will it be like "OMG that's amazing!" or more like "Yeah there's a...

Hey guys, I was wondering if you knew what could be causing this. My problem is with text that is in bold. The text seems to have some kind of red bleeding around it. It's obvious in MS Visual Studio, where the tab that is currently selected is put in bold, and you can see alot of red around...

Thx for the help guys. But something is annoying me alot... Videos, animated gifs, pictures, they all look like they are lower quality on this monitor. I don't know how to explain it but it's like if you took a high quality image and you compressed it and you can see the thousands of...

I'm using DVI. Anyway... I think I might have overeacted a little bit in my last post. I just plugged my CRT next to my LCD and the LCD is much sharper and the images are better looking. I changed the mode to text and the text looks a little better. I still find it weird looking but I guess...

Ok so I just got my NEC. First LCD ever. I didn't know what too expect really but I expected it would look at least as good as it does on the pics posted. But it doesn't. I don't find the text easier to read like people say about LCDs. The pictures look alot less good then on my CRT. I...

LCD noob here... I just ordered this monitor, which is my first LCD ever (might as well go with the best) and I have a question. I will likely use the monitor to play my X360 on it but I was wondering if there was a way to use my Logitech X-530 for sound instead of the crappy ones that...

Thanks for the great reply! But when you say it's a bit expensive, are you taking into account that the price is in Canadian $? Anyway the Viewsonic is less expensive anyways by 200$. But I think I'll pay the extra 200$ for the higher contrast ratio, bigger screen and the HDCP...

I'm currently using a 19in ViewSonic G90fb crt. I feel like buying a bigger monitor and well I don't have room for a huge ass 21in CRT and anyway they are kinda hard to find. I also always wanted to have a widescreen monitor. I also watch alot of DVDs on my computer. And a bigger screen will...

I'm buying a Dell Laptop and I wanted to know if they sent you the Windows XP cd or if it was a one time install?

Price in CANADIAN $. I'll use it mostly for programming with Ms Visual Studio 2005. I'll also be playing games like Baldurs' Gate 2 and stuff, and if I can Dawn of War. Thanks.

Sorry to bump this but I was wondering if it would work with these cables. Those are mono instead of stereo. Does it make a difference for what I'm going to be using them? Thanks.

Hope this makes it clearer. The question again : Will this work?

So I just bought a pair a 5.1 surround Headphones and it's pretty annoying switching from my speakers to the headphones since the back of my comp isn't easily accessible. I was wondering if I could use 3 of these so that I could set the female part on my desk for easy access. Would I still...

Ok I reinstalled the driver and now I have it. I guess when I install coolbits, it disaspears for some reason. Anyway, I'm glad to know that it's just my CPU like I thought. I'm gonna upgrade it in 8-12 months anyway. Thanks all for your help.

I'm not that dumb. I have the latest drivers. 78.01.

I just don't have that window. I remember having it on my 6600GT, but for some reason, it's not there on this comp. Also After running the Guru3d Demo5 @ 1024x768 with 4xAA/8xAF i got 152 or so fps with my 3200 OCed to 2200Ghz The one I used before was the Hardware OC coast. There I got...

Wow, I guess it is because of my CPU. Here's the test : Clicky Btw, I just can't find the Vsync option in the Nvidia settings. Ive searched everywhere.

Hi. I built my first computer 2-3 weeks ago and I was pretty proud of it. But today I realised that I was getting alot less performance then I was supposed to have (I think) in games (or at least HL2). I just ran 3dmark05 and got 7666 (that's good right?). When I run the HardWareOC HL2...
