My router keeps disconnecting on me. It's a Linksys E1200 and will at least once a day show me "no internet connection" on the windows WiFi network icon (although I am still connected to the network) and won't connect to the router via 192.168.1.1 (it becomes both unpingable and untraceable)...

I don't mean adult as in nudity and extreme violence, I mean games that don't bother you with extreme hand holding, quicktime events, cliched storylines, and other dumb ideas that seem to plague and water down the games of this generation. I want a game that actually expects the user not be a...

I'm worried that my laptop might get stolen. I often use it in public places and I don't trust the kensington lock, and not to mention there's often nothing secure to wrap the cable around anyway. I'm wondering if there's any free tracking software that will track where the laptop is through...

I'm a student and need a reasonably mobile laptop for work (programming and engineering), music production, and occasional gaming (I mostly play CS:GO). I want -good performance -good quality (I need something that will last for years) -good screen -looks decent -prefer to buy on amazon as...

I'm looking for a laptop that will work well with my DJ setup and playing the occasional CS:GO. I will still have my desktop so performance is not THAT important. #1 thing for me is reliability. I need something that won't crap out on me during a set, and also a readable screen from a distance...

Every single one I've had, I've had trouble with. All from reputable companies from linksys, netgear. They always have driver trouble, randomly drop connections, perform way slower than their laptop counterparts. Right now I have my crap netbook setup right next to my desktop with a Netgear...

I'm talking along the lines of Mass Effect... big futuristic worlds, massive skylines, corruption everywhere, Blade Runner style. I already played Deus Ex Human Revolution and probably most of the big ones, just wondering if I missed anything. Or it's back to replaying Mass Effect.

After the DNF failure I'm itching for some good shooter action. I've never actually played Doom 3, only the demo, and I liked that. I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to play this game after all these years? Is it still a good game?

Right now I'm using 32 Ohm DT770 headphones with an Audigy2ZS soundcard, no amp. What would be the logical next step to improve sound quality in music and games? I was thinking sound card. Maybe getting an amp would be a better bang for the buck?

I've had this mouse for over a year and recently I've started noticing that it's changing sensitivity by itself in some games. I could be playing, then it turns down the dpi on the mouse by itself randomly, I press the button to increase sensitivity but even though the light says it's on max dpi...

So I haven't been following games much lately, but can someone explain how portal 2 is $49.99 all of a sudden? IIRC Portal was like $10 or $20 and came with the Orange Box, so how is the sequel so expensive? Portal was only a few hours of gameplay, so unless Portal 2 is somehow much longer...

I'm in need of a good sp fps. I want to know what's out there that I might have missed. Graphics aren't very important; but good gameplay and compelling story are. Something that I can get immersed in for a few days. Recently I've played STALKER, Metro 2033, Crysis... can't remember much else...

I remember playing an RPG-ish kind of game in the late 90's/early 2000's, where you had an inventory, but it was also only played in third person and you used mostly swords/axes and bow and arrow to kill. If I remember correctly you played as a girl, and it was set in the typical medieval...

It is 2011 and alt tab support is still nearly non existent in games. It takes forever to alt tab back into the game, if it doesn't crash that is, and when you finally get in all the textures are messed up. Why isn't alt tab support more common?

I haven't played BF2 in a long time since my CD got scratched to hell, but I took care of that and wow, the game is just like I remember it. Big, open maps, good graphics where the bloom doesn't pierce your eyes like daggers, lots of vehicles, more freedom to do what you want, way better maps...

Recently I started getting a lot of stability problems: crashing in games, BSOD's (always pointing to nv4displ.dll), and computer shutdowns. This happens even without overclock, although to a much lesser extent. So I did some stress testing: I ran Prime 95 torture test and the ATI Tool artifact...

The headphones that I'm using now, the HD 485's, are kinda busted up and I want closed headphones for sound damping. I have my eye on the audio technica ATH A700, but my question is, would I notice a difference in audio quality from the upgrade? I am using this with a computer, with an old...

Sometimes, about once every 2 days, I'll get a BSOD for nv4.disp. Obviously this points to nvidia drivers, but I have stress tested everything and have not seen any errors. Any ideas of why I'm BSODing? Win XP 32 here.

I'm having trouble installing a PCI wireless card, TP-Link WN851N. When I install the drivers I get the device manager error, "The Device Cannot Start (Code 10)," so I can't connect to any network. I'm using Windows XP SP3 32bit. I've tried the following: Uninstalling drivers and...

I started playing the game unpatched, got into the first underground area and then the game started crashing like crazy. I walk 3 feet and the game CTD's. So I have to patch the game, yet I also want to play with the Complete mod and don't want to replay everything. So, does anyone have a...

I need a wireless adapter for my desktop for college because the dorms are wireless only. I found this one on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704045 It's cheap and has good ratings. Is there anything wrong with it? Sorry for asking a question about something...

Granted, I haven't beaten it yet, but it seems like more of a chore than a fun experience for me. I want to find out what happens next in the story, and the missions assigned to me seem more like mindless drivel intended to keep me busy until the next tiny bit of the story comes out. I'd rather...

So I picked up Starcraft 2 and of course the screenshots on the box look amazing. Everything is really sharp, the contrast is great, all the colors look great like there's HDR. But everyone who's played Starcraft 2 knows that the game actually doesn't look anything close to that, even on maximum...

Anyone else playing this? Big improvement over Arma 2 imo.

I'm at the part of the game where you have to recruit people to go to Pripyat. I already got Vano and the military guy. I want Strider the monolith to go too but first I have to do the quest where you convince the Yanov residents to let the monolith in, and none of the factions trust me. I think...

This is seriously the most fun I've ever had in a flash game. You're a mouse and you have to get the cheese and bring it back to the mouse hole along with other mice players. There's a shaman who builds stuff to help you get to the cheese. Make an account and you can make your own room. It's a...

For some reason I missed this game when it came, but I just got it and it's very entertaining. The atmosphere is great and the graphics are the best I've ever seen in a game. The gun play is very good against humans, ok against the mutants but it seems like you fight humans more than mutants...

So I got Operation Flashpoint: Resistance, since I never played that expansion. I maxed everything out and surprisingly my quad core @ 3.8 ghz 4gb ram computer couldn't handle it. :eek: I crank everything up and it stutters like crazy. Sometimes it can stutter for 5 seconds or more. When it...

I assume that to do things like design fermi you would need a PHD in computer engineering or the like, right? Do most people there have a MS/PHD?

I've been using this mouse for only a year and the mouse wheel is already crapping out on me. When I first got it I didn't like the mouse wheel at all because the side scroll made it impossible to click the middle mouse button easily; it was too stiff. So I mapped the left scroll button as the...

All games nowdays have extreme bloom, hdr, and other special effects to cover up crappy textures and the bad graphics underneath. Ever since the whole 360/PS3 generation started graphics have been getting worse and worse imo, and I'm talking of course about the PC. I miss the sharp textures and...

I've had lots of video cards over the years and there has been maybe 2 that didn't die or start artifcating. I keep my cards around longer than most other people and I've kept them in different systems and different cases, some ran hot or not, but most of them had problems sooner or later. I've...

I've been playing the BC2 beta and ME 2 and I'm really bothered by the low FOV. Why can't they make a proper PC port with an appropriate FOV? It's not that bad in ME2 but really disorienting in BC2 since I need to see more than a tiny window of the world to figure out what's going on.

I'm in Pripyat and when I go to the end of the park to the North the game loads the next level and then crashes. Has anyone had this problem before? I'm running v1.005 and the Stalker Complete mod.

Does anyone still play this game? I played it years ago. It was the BEST multiplayer, I had so much fun playing the vehicle maps.:cool:

Anyone ever have this happen? At 4ghz after a couple minutes of running prime95, with no warnings that it failed, I get a reboot, even though 3.8ghz is stable. At first I thought it was the psu, but I'm running stock voltages except for 1.25v core, so 500w should be plenty. Only thing is that...

We all know about the microstutter issue in multi-videocard systems. Well I'm getting it in GTA4, with a single card. Basically the longer I play the game, the more laggy the game gets, without actually lowering fps. It's like the game begins to run in slow motion. Even if I set my settings to...

I searched and couldn't find a conclusive answer. What are the voltages that a P55/i5 should stay under when air cooled. Vcore? VTT? PLL? PCH core? Also what is the stock vcore? 1.20v?
