nevermind, I fixed it, it was the PSU, I replaced it with a 650W Antec EarthWatts and it works fine.

On occasion, my PC will be a little slow to power on and I will have to hold the button for a couple of seconds. Sometimes, the light on the case just comes on but nothing else until I turn off the power supply and turn it back on. I had my CPU and RAM overclocked from 2.0 to 2.4 for a year or...

I believe theres an update that fixes the washed out look of the VGA because mine looks perfect, alot better and sharper than my friend's LCD TV hooked up with component in 720P.

bump

Would this be a smart purchase? I have my 360 hooked up to my Viewsonic VX2025wm through VGA and run it at 1360x768 which would be slightly above 720p if I'm not mistaken. Would I even notice any visual difference since I wouldn't be watching it at 1080i or 1080p?

my friend is having problems with Vista, it is in "test mode" and will not get out of it, he is using Vista Home Premium. He is also having a problem where Vista randomly stopped detecting his dvdrw drive, however BIOS still detects it.

I'm just wondering what these updates actually are. It doesn't say for most of them so naturally, I think that it's garbage to bog XP down to try and push XP users to Vista.

I somehow forgot to be post here. I've been using S939 since August 2005 with my old 3000+ and I've had a X2 3800+ since August 06 :cool:

I noticed that XP is downloading alot of updates lately, and it's probably just me but XP seems to feel slower, are these pointless updates that are only there to slow me down until I upgrade to Vista? I heard of a similar case with pirated versions of XP but I don't know.

update: I changed it around a bit

How often do you clean your LCD or CRT? I get OCD and clean it every week or so but I'm trying to cut down to every few weeks.

I'm pretty sure what it means is that the monitor will have a HDMI imput which Vista will use as means of displaying HD content.

your card will work fine with your monitor. For $30 I would take that 9800 though...

I want one so badly, too bad I have no money and at the moment no job :( I have yet to see one in person but they just look so sexy from these pics.

mine has changed a bit since I moved back in in December, I have a different desk (my old one went to my brother), and an LCD (I was using dual CRTs until the summer).

why are you not using that Westy as your PC monitor?

my current setup (I moved back in in December)

best buy is the easiest place to return things to (at least from my experience), they never test it and all they do is ask why you're returning it, my friend returned a tv that worked perfectly fine that he used for over a month and they didn't ask any questions so you should be fine.

where did you get it from? I know Newegg's policy is you need to have more than 8 or something like that. But if you could return it, you should.

probably S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Crysis

I know that Oblivion is a pretty hard game to run but my friend is wondering if he can run it on his laptop on the lowest settings and resolution and still have it be stable, his specs are AMD Turion 64 @2 ghz 1GB of RAM Integrated Radeon X200 graphics

my friend posts on the newschoolers forums, his name is Tman (with some numbers after it) don't know if you know him.

it worked, thanks alot :)

I tried TweakUI but I don't know how to use it, and I don't want to mess up the registry, is there an easy way to do it?

can someone please help, I fixed some but some such as my recycling bin won't work

I tried installing the first Midtown Madness, and it crashed and now my desktop icons are gone, I can restore some of them, but some won't come back, also, system restore doesn't seem to help, any help?

I know that some dvd players upscale a dvd to 720p, but is my pc doing it? I am using a Radeon X1800XT 256mb and I don't know what resolution my dvds are playing at. I use VLC when watching dvds, is there something I need to do with my drivers or what?

I am

seems both the Catalyst and Omega drivers mess up with me, I'm installing them and uninstalling them the right way (I think) here's a shot of F.E.A.R.

just moved back in (taking a semester off) new setup

I have a 256mb Radeon X1800XT and a couple of days ago out of nowhere the screen would start flickering, I was using the Catalyst drivers and I tried updating them but no luck, I then went to the Omega Drivers where it flickers less. I also can't run any version of 3dmark for some reason or I...

this happens every time I try to open the Catalyst Control Center, I've tried different versions and installed them and uninstalled them the right way.

I would go with the Sceptre because it has the HDMI port so it's fairly futureproof.

I get this with both 2005 and 2006 it won't run and a dialogue box comes up saying "IDirect3DDevice9::Present failed: Device lost (D3DERR_DEVICELOST)

great movie you're watching

is that Hennessy I see? holla.

wawaweewa, king of the castle, king of the castle, I have a chair, do this, do that.
