Hey all, I've been having problems with my desktop hard locking on Windows 10 Pro. I can load into a game and play for any time I want, but if I need to open say Chrome or Waterfox; it'll hardlock within 15 minutes and I have to force a reset. I was using a GeForce GTX 960 (see signature), but...

My wife has a Zotac 3gb GTX 580 in her PC (she inherited it when I got my 680 DCII TOP from Asus) and in the past day or so. She's been experiencing some odd issues with her card while playing WoW (she saw artifacting last night while playing) and has been experiencing delays while doing her...

I don't know where to put this (and if it's in the wrong place, please put it in the proper subforum), but I've grown increasingly frustrated with Sapphire and their support. My Pure Black 990FX board (which my wife won for me at the last GamExperience event) has caused me nothing but grief...

As the title says, I'm looking for a aftermarket cooler to replace my stock cooling on my GTX 580. It's a Zotac branded GPU, and I'm guessing it's a reference design. Without resorting to watercooling, is there an aftermarket cooler that I can use with my card? Thanks in advance!

I just upgraded from a old Core 2 Duo based system to what I currently have in my signature. I'm looking at the Noctua NH-C12P as the replacement for the stock Intel HSF and wanted to know if it'll fit inside my Lanbox Lite. The dimensions of the cooler are 114 x 126 x 152 mm with the 120mm fan...

I have a $250 allotment for a video card upgrade and I figure I will replace my 9600 Pro with a 9600XT but have a general question ... the 9600XT I'm looking at through Newegg is a refurbished card (and I know the general rule of YMMV) but I'm curious to hear people's experiences about Newegg...
