    Nvidia Control Panel setting brightness to max when tabbing out of (some) games

    For several weeks now anytime I tab out of certain games my brightness in the nvidia control panel is set to max. This does not happen in windowed mode games, only games in full screen that I tab out of, and even then not every game causes it. League of Legends is the worst, because of the way...

    Help picking good Ryzen ram @Microcenter

    Currently have a 1700x and Asus Prime X370-Pro in my cart, and I have done some reading and it seems G.Skill Tridentz ram is the most recomended right now. But... it doesn't look like Microcenter carries that. I am doing in store pickup in the Dallas area, is there any specific RAM that I should...

    G-Sync during loading screens causes videos on other monitors to run sketchy

    Hello, I recently got a Dell S2716DG (144hz gsync) and I have a hp zr2740w (60hz, not gysnc). Gsync itself is working fine, but during load screens in games it causes youtube/netflix/twitch/etc on the other monitor to skip a lot (twitch isn't just video, the audio gets all buggy as well). Is...

    M2 SSD vs older SSD for OS

    I am planning out a new build and wondering if it will really matter which SSD I use as my boot drive. Currently I have a 256GB samsung EVO and a 1TB sandisk SSD. I use the samsung for OS and the sandisk as a steam drive. In my new build I want to get a M2 SSD and I was wondering if it would...

    Upgrading 2500k. Currently using 1440p, looking towards future upgrades

    I am currently using a 2500k I have overclocked to 4.2Ghz with a GTX 980 I picked up used off these forums. It handles most things fine at 1440p, but in many games my minimum FPS is below 60 and I have noticed stuttering in many cases, especially when I am watching video on the other screen (be...

    FS: Turtlebeach PX4

    Turtle Beach PX4 Looking for $50, they are like new. Have only used them a few times with my PS4, and they have been sitting unplugged ever since. I live in Dallas/Fort Worth area if you wanna do local meet, $5 shipping otherwise. EDIT: Also, I have the talkback cable so it has inline...

    Closed cans headset for office.

    I got a new job working in an office with 2 other people, so I do not want to bring one of my open design headsets despite preferring them. I normally use my PC360 senns at home for gaming and media, which are really comfy and I would like something in similar size (though closed). I'm not...

    PC turned off, now it won't stay on for more than a few seconds.

    I've had my PC for quite a few years now, and it has been perfectly stable AFAIK, and my temperatures have always been quite low. I was watching Netflix and it just turned itself off. Not like regular shutdown, but as if you turned the switch off on the PSU. The parts are in my signature...

    Corsair HX 520, GTX 780 Lightning

    I am upgrading my system soon as I bought a 2560x1440 monitor recently and my 6950 has reached its limits, I'm afraid. I'm pretty set on getting the GTX 780 Lightning, but I'm curious if I will need to upgrade my PSU as well. I feel like the answer is yes, but if I can get by without it why...

    Current GPU Prices

    So I bought a 2560x1440 monitor on woot the other day and my 6950 2GB is struggling to keep up in quite a few games at the graphical quality I want/like. I was really pumped up about the 290 series, but even the basic R9 290 is over $500 now, which makes me want to just get a GTX 780...

    Xonar DG only giving static from right channel

    I have the headphone amp Xonar DG sound card and it was working great for the last year or so. Tonight it was working fine when I got home from work. Left my room for a second, and when I came back I could hear from the right speaker, but there was also some static. It wasn't from Windows as...

    CCC Per Application Settings?

    I recently built a new PC (which is awesome, btw) and I came from a 8800. Now, the performance of my new system is just insane compared to it, but nvidia drivers allowed me to manually set AA and AF for individual applications, and I can't seem to find that in AMD's drivers. I did some googling...

    Are these parts a good deal?

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Heavy gaming. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Don't really have one per se, but around $1000. 3) Where do you live? Louisiana. 4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU...

    Corsair HX520 + 6970

    Well, now that sandy bridge mobos are back in stock at the egg (looking at the P8P67 Deluxe!), I think I really need to start considering my build. I currently have a HX520, and I'm thinking I should definitely upgrade it, but if I don't actually need it.... Anyway, the build I have in mind...

    Thicker cushions than HD485s?

    I am looking for some new headphones that have thicker cushions than the HD485s. The 485s are great, but my ears rub against the inside of the ear cups (against the hard plastic of the frame) and it's very annoying. It's ok for maybe an hour or two, but after wearing them for more than that it...

    Only 4094MB of RAM?

    I have two 2048MB sticks of RAM, but windows is reporting only 4094 total, instead of 4096. I'm using win 7 64 bit, and I'm not really noticing any performance or stability issues, it just strikes me as odd. The rest of my specs are in signature. :confused:

    DNS Server Not Responding

    I have charter cable (25Mbps) and when it's working, it's freaking awesome. Downloads are fast, my ping is good enough in games, and it can handle 8-10 of us playing online all at once just fine. Unfortunately, it seems to go out more than modern internet should. Sometimes it only lasts for...

    Is Diamond a good brand for AMD?

    I'm thinking about getting this HD5870 because it seems to be one of the few reference models still available (that is reference right?). The main reason I like this style is because I have the RV02 Raven case and having the power connectors on the side instead of at the back will help a lot...

    Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 (the usual?)

    So recently they "quit working". And by that, I mean when I got back from a lan party, they didn't work at all. They did their usual "pop" when I turned them on, but apart from that I got nothing out of them. The headphone port did still work, but the green light indicating power did not come...

    IP35 Pro v18 BIOS

    Have any of you tried it with a Q9550? I want to upgrade w/o going i7 but I want to know if that has full compatibility. The only reason I ask is because it's a beta bios and isn't officially supported at all.

    TV and monitor do not receive signal

    My parents recently called me because their desktop wouldn't come on. It boots up, but it doesn't display anything on the monitor. I plugged it into the tv to see if the monitor was bad or something else was going on, and it didn't give signal to the tv either. At this point, I just assumed the...

    Kinda new to desktop replacement...

    Right now I have my main rig and a Vaio laptop. I like both, but I have been looking at laptops and came across this MSI GX640. Now, I'm considering selling both my desktop and current laptop and replacing them with this one laptop, but I have a few questions I'd like to ask some of you guys who...

    Need help with Java!

    I'm learning java atm and I need some help. I have created a blackjack game (final class project) and it works almost perfectly. The only issue I have ran into is that after about 15~ deals, it freezes up and I have to delete the process from task manager. I even checked it on my laptop to make...

    Best mic for use with speakers?

    I just want to say that I can't stand headphones/headsets for long periods of time. I love my Sennheiser HD485s, but for long play sessions in games I just can't wear them. Because of this, I game most of the time with speakers (Klipsh 2.1s). I've been using my xbox headset as a mic sitting on...

    Windows 7: Aero Features + Dual Monitors

    In windows 7, if you move a window to the left or right of the screen, it will give you the option of expanding it to take up only that half of the screen. This is a really cool feature, but with dual monitors, it doesn't work in at the point where the 2 are "connected". So on each monitor, the...

    Windows 7: Change Monitor Location?

    So in Vista, in the control panel, you could select Dual View, and it let each monitor have it's own resolution, so on and so forth. This seems to be active by default on the drivers I have downloaded for Windows 7, which is nice, but I can't seem to find a way to swap the display location...

    Hard drive dying?

    When I watch videos and stuff from one specific hard drives, every now and then there will be a physical click from inside my computer case and then the video will stutter for a second or two. It doesn't seem like performance is slow, files are missing or corrupt, it just stutters. The model...

    Win7 RC download?

    So it appears I'm a day late to the party :( I have a key as they're still available on the site, but I can't seem to track down a download since they took it down! Is it legal for me to get a copy somewhere else since I have a key? I don't want to break any forum rules asking for piracy :P

    Vaio CR120E/R Power Cable

    I lost half of my power cable for my laptop, because, well IDK how I lost it, but I really don't see why it was necessary that sony make it so that it's got 2 parts in the first place. Anyway, I have the big part of it, like the big box thing and the connector to plug into the laptop, but I lost...

    Core i7/GTX 280 Summer Upgrades!

    So, I've decided this summer is the time to do my next upgrades, and I always like to get some input before dropping money into stuff, so I was just wondering if you guys think all this would go together nicely. My main concern is of course the case. Not 100% sure that a GTX 280 will fit in it...

    Tsunami vs GTX 260

    So, I've been told elsewhere that the GTX 260 will not fit in a Thermaltake Tsunami case w/ the harddrive cage still in place. This is a bit of a problem because I have three hard drives, and I need them all. I pretty much have to upgrade my GPU because my 8800 320 just can't handle 1920x1200...

    IP35 Pro - C1 Error (memory)

    So recently one of my memory sticks died so I was only able to use one out of the pair. I thought, cool, since that stick is dead, that must mean it was causing all the random hangups in games and stuff. So I trudge on with just one stick of RAM. Games still hang up and randomly cause reboots...

    Solid green screen while playing WoW

    So, I just moved my PC from my house to the dorms, and everything works fine, except I just booted up WoW, and after a few minutes my main monitor turned solid green on the display. No other colors, just a solid green screen. No sound at all in the background. Then after a minute or two of me...

    TT Tsunami -> P182 (Worth it?)

    My Tsunami is perfectly fine in perfect condition (minus a few scratches). It is serving me well enough. Just wondering if they P182 would be a huge upgrade cooling wise (I know it'd be quieter most likely). The only real reason for this would be I'm sick of having a window on my case, I want...
