So I've been having this memory usage issue with my computer. As soon as it starts, the memory usage starts to climb rapidly until its at about 3.90GB of usage out of the 4GB of memory I have. I have looked up all the svchost.exe things on google, and tried them all, none of them seem to help...

Hello everyone! I am looking for a laptop for my 11 year old brother. He doesnt need anything fancy, but it needs to be in good working condition. The only game I could ever see him playing is some CS:S.. which isn't too hard of a game to run. This is a joint birthday present for him, and we are...

So im sitting here showing the Z-5500s to some of my friends who havent heard them yet.. no big deal jump playing some Country rap and rock to show how it sounded on music.. I go to minimize iTunes and I accidentally close it. No biggie, right?? WRONG! I try to re-open iTunes.. and I get this...

The GF wants an iTouch. I am looking for one that preferably comes with all the original packaging and accessories. First or second gen really doesnt matter, as long as it is in good condition. I want something that still looks pretty new. If you guys have anything, shoot me a PM! Thanks, Sean.

Ok, so I haven't used Core Temp in quite a while, or any other CPU temperature monitoring program since I initially started overclocking my Q6600 way back when. I turned it on today for shits and giggles (Yes I just downloaded the newest version) and I swear there is no way my processor is...

This card is less than a month old. It was a gift to me for my birthday, but other pursuits have me wanting to sell it. I have had it in, and it works great. Just don't need it. I am looking for $150 shipped. I am also adding a 6ft Rosewill Optical Cable. Comes with all the original packaging...

I recently purchased a X-Fi Titanium off of newegg. It got here I installed it, and started to test things out. The first day was troublesome, I could NOT get clean sound with the bass up past 50% on the creative control panel thing without all my satellites sounding like shit. I eventually...

I just installed my new X-Fi Titanium sound card. It sounds awesome paired with my Z-5500s and being connected with optical, but im having a problem. Any time I turn the bass up past like 30% on the sound console, my speakers become really distorted and it sounds AWFUL. Is this an equalization...

Hi everyone. I currently have a Linksys WRT600N router. I spent a lot of money on it, and I am throughly disapointed with its performance. I have had way more headaches with this router then any other router I have ever had. I was wondering, what are your favorite routers? I am very big in...

I dont know whos been watching this other than me on here, but I am SO glad I went with EVGA. They are going to be releasing software which will allow you to change the voltage of your card receives. Some insane OC's have already been recorded in EVGAs tests, such as 783MHz core and 1692MHz...

I know for the most part, a cable is a cable, no matter what the price tag or the so called "quality" of the cable is said to be, and that you wont see an ounce of difference between a $200 HDMI Cable (For instance) between a $20 HDMI cable. Although, I am fairly new to the whole high quality...

Today when I went looking for the Realtek control panel on my computer, I could not find anything, ANYWHERE that had to do with Realtek or even said Realtek. So, I am trying to get the latest drivers for it. Although, im not sure where to go for the drivers, their site is confusing and I was...

Thanks to the awesome design of my 790i motherboard, I cannot use the PCI-E x1 slot because it is blocked by the fan coming off the northbridge heat sink. Long story short, I just got some Z-5500s and I am looking for a quality sound card to go with them. I dont want to go cheap either. What do...

I havent seen a thread for this at all, and kinda have wondered why! Macros are my favorite kind of pictures to take, for those of you that dont know, Macro shots are taken from a very short distance, and are supposed to be very detailed.The macro option should be displayed on your camera as a...

Hey guys, I have been fixing up my friends computer for the past few days, I put a new PSu and a 9800GT in it last night for them, but ive also been trying to get some nasty fake virus alert popups, and some regular old annoying popups (but the same ones over and over) off his computer (Already...

I just bought this ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145209 Does anyone have this ram? If so how has your experience been with it? My last batch of Patriot ram went bad so I decided to give corsair a shot.

Well anyways, my main rig has been down for almost 2 weeks now, because of unstoppable lockups and freezing minutes after I would turn on my computer. I have finally pinpointed my memory as the culprit, and now need some help on deciding what ram I should get. Im looking for 4GB of DDR3...

So ive had CONSTANT troubles since I built my computer with random freezing and lockups, and now I am really just blank on ideas of what to do. I have completely torn down, and rebuilt the computer twice, checked all my connections hundreds of times, ran hard drive testing programs, tested...

Extremely cheap and extremely nice power supply. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703005&cm_sp=DailyDeal-_-17-703-005-_-Homepage

Pretty good deal on the egg for one BAMF of a graphics card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133229

I cant figure out for my damn LIFE how to get the G25 to work on grid. When I try to change my settings in game, no matter what buttons I press, which pedal I push, or which way I turn nothing changes on my settings. Can someone please help me?

Hey everyone. I felt like getting something for my computer, and I want to upgrade either one of these two things, my processor, or buy a second graphics card for SLI. I currently have a Q6600 B3 at 3.0GHz at 1.39 Vcore, and a GTX 260 with 700/1475/1260 clocks. Now my question is, would buying a...

Hello everyone.. I seem to have run into a bit of a problem. After installing Ultimate on my computer, I did the usual, which is update all the drivers, get all the OS updates, re-install my programs etc., but when I went to get my EVGA Driver Disc for my GTX 260, I cant find it for the damn...

Ok so heres the deal. Im looking at buying a car in the near future, and wanted to sell my computer to get more money towards a new car. Based off the specs in my signature, what do you guys think I could get for my computer? Monitor, speakers (not listed, but its a nice 2.1 setup) EVERYTHING...

Ok, so here is the deal. I have a Zalman 850w (ZM850-HP) and my computer friend has an Antec 850w. (Not the signature series one). He thinks his power supply is FAR superior to mine, but when looking on newegg, my powersupply takes in more power, has more volts on the 12v rails, has a higher...

Is there actually a difference between the two processors? Or is the 8500 just a OC'ed 8400? Im curious because im about to buy one of these things, but depending on if the 8500 is just a gimmick to get more money im getting the 8400.

After searching, I couldnt find any dedicated Antec thread, so I started this. If there is one, kindly post a link and forget this thread! Anyways, I will get my 1200 in a few days, but in the meantime, lets see all your Antec's!

I am trying to prove to a buddy that I will be able to use my 850w PSU to SLI my 260, he strongly disagrees that it wont be able to and that im crazy for thinking about trying it. Are there any programs that show what amount of watts your system is drawing from the PSU? Thanks.

I am looking to drop my processors temps a little bit, and I currently have applied the paste that came with my Zalman CNPS9700. My question is, since I know many of you suggest AS5 is probably the best paste, is this the one I should buy or is there something that you guys like even better...

Hello people! I am having some troubles getting a Q6600 past 3.0GHz. My temps are MORE than low enough to go higher, idling at a good 37c and load at around 48c. Now, here are my problems: 1. My multiplier wont go over 9x, why? I thought the 790i Ultra can go higher? 2. The only way it is...

This has been something ive been itching to do for quite awhile now, buy a Logitec G25 wheel and get myself a good racing sim. My questions are, where do you guys suggest buying the G25 from? Also, what are your favorite racing sims? I hear GT Legends is pretty good, but is there better?

Hello everyone. My friend has been having a serious problem ever since last night with BF2 on his laptop. We have played it on it forever, highest settings, and it runs smooth as silk. His card is a 7900GS, and it runs BF2 very well. All the sudden, it stopped working last night. The same exact...

I am in need of a new power supply badly, this little 500w Thermaltake purepower is not cutting it with my system anymore. I want to buy a 1000-1200w PSU, and Would prefer to keep the price under 400 bucks. What suggestions do you guys have? I see lots of PSU's in this range but dont know who to...

This thread is meant for fun only!! Im curious to see everyones scores, some of you guys have rigs that make mine look puny. Feel free to post complete stats etc! Here are my temps... The orange is my GFX, others are my cores. Graphics: 9800GTX fan at 65% CPU: Q6600 Kentsfield @...

I just installed my eVGA 790i Ultra, my patriot viper ddr3 4GB kit, and Zalman 9700 CPU cooler onto my computer. My processor is a Intel Q6600. After windows installation (Vista home premium 64-bit), the computer restarts, then says returms to the install screen and says, "completing install...

Hey everyone, I have been struggling to get the airflow of my case heading in the right direction lately. Here is the case: For now im only going to ask questions about the external fans (the ones that are blowing in or out) since I have my EVGA 790i Ultra, Patriot viper ram and Zalman...

I was playing BF2 today, all max settings, stock clocks on my GFX card, and the fan on it turned to 100%. It somehow got to 78c, and the screen started flickering. I let it cool for awhile, and its running fine now at 49c. Anyone have an idea why it did that? Maybe I accidently hit my hotkey to...
