Hello [H], Question: I just purchased the UN75HU8550FXZA Samsung TV. I am looking for Twitch.TV on the Smart Hub and it is not there... I tried what was recommended by most and tried to make a new Samsung logon with the name "develop", but it just keeps saying "that user name is already in...

I am in the market for a new TV for my family room. I currently have a Samsung 61" DLP LED (No WiFi) from around 2007. It is starting to fail at this time and rather than fix a dinosaur I am going to upgrade. I have Verizon FIOS, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. I have been doing much research on...

Need help choosing a TV/Display for my son's XBox One. He wants to use it for gaming mainly, but he will also watch TV with it. Looking at 40" minimum up to 46" I guess. No smaller and any larger will not fit in his room or college apartment...LOL. I have a $1500.00 budget on this but I would...

I plan on building this for PC gaming and only gaming (mainly ArmA 2/3). I will use my current PC for my home/ office work with minor upgrades.My current PC specs are listed in my profile and that is what is causing some uncertainty for me. I have looked at the new hardware that has recently...

Hello [H]! I am in the matket for a new camera. Over the years I have purchased many point and shoot digital cameras and have been extremely unsatisfied and downright dissapointed with the results. These were NOT cheap cameras either. I do not know the first thing about cameras or how to...

My son starts college this fall and he will be pursuing engineering (Chemical or Material science). Obviously calculus and science applications will be a must and I guess a very good CPU and vid card will be needed? I'm not sure on that. The other problem is that on his off time he would like...

This is the product that i purchased back in Jan of 2011: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132018 I am trying very hard not to make this a rant and hope that it does not generate trolling. That is not my intent here. I am a very loyal ASUS customer and own more of...

You can see my specs in my sig below. I am having very, very poor boot times even though I use an SSD drive. The problem appears to be the mobo when cycling through the bios during post. The mobo boot period takes more than 20 seconds and when the Windows logo appears now the SSD kicks in...

I purchased this to be able to fly on BF3. Trouble is that I cannot get it to work no matter how I try. The game does not see it. It is recognized by Windows, but not the game. I am using the Logitech G13, Cyborg R.A.T. 7 Mouse, and a wireless Microsoft keyboard as well. I don't think that...

My friend replaced his dual core with a quad core socket 775. He did not do a reinstall of the op sys (Vista 64 bit). His computer did boot and recognized the new processor, but still shows the dual core in the device manager. Will the op sys and programs work ok with the new quad core or does...

I am in the market for a new gaming laptop. I currently have the one recommended by [H] from a few years ago ( Gateway P7811 FX) . The laptop has served me well, but the time has come for change as it cannot handle most of the newer games on medium resolution levels. I need at least 17" as I am...

I know about the defect on the board, but since i have the system assembled already and running I am going with it anyway. I was told from Asus tech support that all boards will eventually be replaced. Simply switch out boards and restart computer (after bios tweaks) and you are good to go. No...

Anyone know anything about this bad boy? I am wondering when it will be released and for how much. Thanks.

I usually place my possible hardware purchases on [H] to get some feedback. This hardware will be for 2 builds; one for my son and one for me. We are both PC gamers and play games that are very hardware intensive such as ArmA2 series. I would appreciate if anyone views any hardware conflicts...

Sad Days for PC Gaming I have been in the market of building a new gaming rig and have been getting excited about the new processor architecture that is about to come out such as SandyBridge. I would only be doing this to have the best PC gaming experience possible. The sad part when I think...

I have made this memory my preliminary choice so far best on recommendations from the Asus site. I was wondering what the great minds at [H] think. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145329 I am going with the i7 980-X Extreme processor so I know that this processor...

I am going with an i7 1336 socket mobo and I need a cooler for it. I currently have a thermalright 120 extreme on my old rig and it has been flawless. Is thermalright still the way to go? suggestions? Thanks.

I own the Gateway P-7811FX Laptop as recommended by [H] a few years ago. It still runs very well and can play most games as well. It does lag a bit on BF BC2 and ArmA2. I know the newer games will only be getting more and more hardware intensive as time moves head. I currently have the nVidia...

I am just looking for casual opinions here, but if I missed something please point it out. [H] has the best info and advice on the web and it is very appreciated. I already have a Case and Monitor. 1 of ASUS Rampage III Formula LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard...

I am going to be building a new gaming rig shortly and due to work and the lack of time to investigate the new hardware lately, I am at a loss. I built my list rig about 2 years ago and it is now i dinosaur. I am going to use the i7 processor (not sure which yet) or wait for the i9. I need to...

I purchased the laptop that was recommended by so many [H]ard|Forum users back around September of 2008. It was (and is) the Gateway P7811 FX. I added a second hard drive as the original 200gbs is just not enough. I also upgraded to Win 7 64 bit on it and it still runs almost every game (that I...

I am not looking for the easy way out here by any means at all. I am just looking for advice from the experts and apparently according to many, many sources [H]ard|Forum is the best.;) I have been tinkering with my system since 2008 and I have added many new pieces of hardware since. I...

I asked on the Steam Powered forums a few times and received no replies to date. I did make another post there today. Question: How do the massively populated Steam community Groups get their members? I have been invited to groups that I have no Steam friends on no have i played on their...

Hello to my tech friends here at [H]ard|Forum. I recently started getting BSOD crashes with my system and eventually it would not boot at all. I was using WinXP Pro 32bit . I decided to go with Vista Ultimate 64 Bit when I did the re-install. All of my hardware supports 64Bit and Vista so I...

Has anyone figured out how to get this game working on Vista 64?

I know that I replied in another post, but I did not realize that it was about Fallout 2 and my problem is with Fallout 3. I have tried everything mentioned in almost all forums to get Fallout 3 (Steam version)to run on my gaming laptop (P7811FX Gateway).It uses Vista Home Premium 64 bit...

I have the Gateway P7811 FX and I am having an annoying problem of late. It has to do with the keyboard I believe. When i start to type in a document or in a forum, the cursor will move back somewhere in the text and fonts will start going there. Whatever I am typing is now screwed. Random...

Hello there, I have the ASUS Striker Extreme LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX mobo. recently I have been crashing in game (freezes). I thought that it may have been driver related or heat related. turns out that it was neither. The computer crashed on me the other night and would not re-boot...

Hello all, I am in the market for a laptop. The problem that I am facing is that I would like it to be a top notch gaming rig without the top notch price tag. I have looked at most companie's selections and have learned that the "big" computer companies offer decent units for a very high price...

Hello there, I have recently OC'd my rig and have finished tweaking out to be as stable as I can make it. I did back it off slightly to increase possible longevity. I recently purchased 4-120mm, 90cfm fans and 2-120mm, 130cfm fans to replace the lame 44cfm units residing there presently. I...

Hello, I have a question regarding the installation or Vista 32 and the NVidia Raid drivers needed. Do I have to create a floppy disk for RAID 0 set up on the MOBO? I am new to this and I have very little knowledge of doing this with Vista. I have done it many times with XP Pro with no...
