I'm not overclocking anything. My comp will run fine for weeks at a time with no issues, and then randomly I will have some blue screen and crashes. I thought it might be my OS install needing a refresh, or possibly some virii or something that wasn't being detected. So I reinstalled 8.1 last...

Lately while playing Diablo, the game crashes and says something about out of memory error, but my mouse no longer appears to work, until I reboot my computer. I have an original DeathAdder that is like 7 years old. I have 16gb of ram, so I'm sure I'm not running out of memory. Is the mouse...

Payday 2 is $17.99 this weekend on steam, and SENZA2 is $15. Anyone have experience with either? I want a fun co-op game with replayability. I downloaded the Payday2 demo and it seems pretty cool.

Am I the only one who cannot get hardware video decoding to work in Chrome? It works in IE, but I cannot get it to work in Chrome, any thoughts?

Just recently built a new system with this wifi card in it, and I am experiencing random lag spikes of up at 2000ms when pinging my E3000 router. I've tried the stock firmware on the router as well as the tomato variety I was using. I've tried both Windows 8 and Linuxmint 14 and the problem...

Hey guys, I just finished a build with this motherboard and I am extremely impressed so far. Using the fast boot and an SSD, it boots to Windows 8 in like 5 seconds. It's crazy. I am still using the stock cooler, so I have not had a chance to try to overclock yet. However, I noticed the...

As the title states, I'm looking for a card that vents directly outside of the case and will suffice at 1080p. Will a 660 cut it or do I need 660ti? What about AMD/ATI? Do these signature FTW EVGA cards vent outside the case? I might spend a little more than $250, but that was my original...

Various parts from a Dell Laptop in which the gpu busted (the heatsink pulled off the mobo and fried the gpu). Ram= 2 sticks of DDR2, Nanya 1GB.2Rx16.PC2-5300S-555-13-A2.667, $20 shipped CPU= LF80537 T5750, 7823A359 SLA40, I think it's a 2.0ghz, $25 shipped DVD/CD Rewriteable Drive Model...

Hi I recently did the upgrade deal and paid for a cd key for Windows 8 and have installed it on my laptop. I am planning on building a new desktop. If I sell my laptop and reinstall the windows 7 that came on it, can I use Windows 8 on my new system?

Hey, I have been out of the hardware scene for quite some time. The last system I build had a 2.13ghz E6xxx something cpu that I overclocked to 3.2ghz. Anyways, I'm looking for a budget setup that will play current games. I'm currently playing on my XPS15 laptop that has an i5 cpu and a...

I missed picking up Dead Island on the steam sale, but I'm wondering what's the best coop zombie/horror game out there? I have not played Dead Island, or Left for Dead 1/2.

I know there is already a 12+ page Diablo III discussion forum, but it's not really covering this, and I would like this to be a discussion from people who are playing the game at launch, just curious what everyone else is playing. I'm really torn between Barbarian and Wizard. I played casters...

Hey my aunt and uncle have an older pc with xp on it that keeps having issues, and rather than fooling with XP, I was debating on putting Linux Mint on their computer. They pretty much only browse the web. I haven't used Linux Mint before, and they have never used Linux. I see that there are...

I'm trying to find an easy solution to take DVDs and turn them into some kind of file format that I can save on my mybook live so I can play them back on my xbox for my 2 year old daughter, as opposed to her grabbing for dvds and breaking/scratching them. I have i5 processor and would like to...

I just got a Kinect and am going over my cousins tomorrow for our annual nerdapalooza and wanted to get some kind of fighting game for Kinect. I saw that there is a Hulk Hogan game, are there any games anyone recommends?

I have a USB powered hard drive enclosure with a 120g hard drive that I want to use to backup pictures of my daughter, but I want it to be on our network so my wife and I can store the pictures on it rather than on our laptops, so the data is always available and in the same location. I am...

Anyone still playing Quake 3? Any interesting mods? I always liked instagib with railgun. I was just talking to my cousin last night about how I miss games where there weren't all these killstreak perks and stupid shit where some dumbass can die and drop a nade and kill you, dogs and what...

Just wanted to see how people were building their character. I picked a High Elf and was but with all the fire damage fighting dragons, I can see where the 50% fire resist of the Dark Elf would be a pretty big advantage. I've been trying to go hybrid and get perks that boost one-handed weapons...

So I've played Crimson Alliance which was really fun, but I'm looking for something with more open maps and loot drops. I saw a thread on Lord of the Rings: War in the North, but it doesn't seem like it's as good as the videos look. My buddy and I are looking for a fun coop action RPG to play...

Microcenter has 4gb sticks for $19.99, $10 off the normal price. I could not find them on the shelf and had to have someone go get them, might be because they have their brand of ram on sale as well. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0352108

My wife dropped her 4 year old Inspiron 1525 (core 2 duo 2gb ram) a while back and I think she messed up the video card, the standoff that holds the heatsink for the video card broke off the motherboard, and I have been using a bigger screw to attempt to hold it in place, but the screen keeps...

Anyone else find this game really fun? I downloaded the free trial a while back, then came back last night and paid the 1200 points to unlock the whole game, and then the map pack. I'm loving the wizard guy. The only thing that would be cooler was if the players could jump. Adding another...

http://www.google.com/tv/ Only $299 for the 24" and $499 for the 32" Anyone have one? My wife's laptop is on its last leg, and we could use another TV. My wife really only uses her laptop at home for checking webmail, facebook, netflix, and listening to music. We also would be using it to...

Is it just me, or is it rare to have a new game that's actually something new and unique? Take Battlefield 3 for example. I played the open beta on xbox and while I admit it's a good game, and it will be fun to play, it's really not that much different from Bad Company 2. Modern Warfare 3...

I know TF2 is fun, but anyone have any experience with any of the other free to play games on steam? Crimecraft: Bleedout, Rusty Hearts, Spiral Knights? There are a few others. If you've played any of them, let me know what you think, etc. Thanks!

Looking for a solution to save mp3s, and pictures/videos of our daughter in one centralized location. My wife and I have our own laptops, so data is scattered across them. I've read about some of the NAS having proprietary software etc. and I was thinking that just using a router with a USB...

I'm experiencing a strange phenomenon with this card. I have a Dell XPS 15 (L502X) that came with a Intel Wifi 1000BGN wireless card, which only operates on 2.4ghz and has 300mbit download and 150mbit upload. I purchased the 6200 card because it works on 5ghz and supports 300mbit in both...

Anyone tried this? http://www.laptopdesk.net/laptop-desk-futura-mouzpad.html I'm looking for a decent sized lapdesk that I can use with a mouse.

Hey all, I've been using NOD32 since like version 2.5, and my license is due to expire soon, and I have been reading some mixed reviews, some stating that NOD32 just isn't that good anymore. Are any of the free AV like Avast, AVG, Panda Cloud, etc. good enough or better than NOD32? I'm using...

I just dumped my dsl for cable and when I ran ethernet straight into the modem from my laptop I was pulling 30mbit to speedtests, but when I go wired or wireless through my router, it's capping at around 16mbit. Anyone know of any decent priced wireless routers that will get me closer to...

Hey guys I've been researching and looking for a laptop that will last me a long time, but I want to get one that comes with the free xbox 360. I've checked various sites, and I'm comparing three laptops. I'm planning on doing most of my gaming on the xbox, but I wouldn't mind if the laptop...

I have not really kept up to date on hardware and wondering if someone could help me. Is there a relatively inexpensive nvidia card that would be an upgrade that would give me DX11 capabilities without being too bottlenecked by my cpu? I'm looking to run 1680x1050 resolution. Thanks!

Hey I haven't been keeping track of hardware as closely as I used to. My current system does pretty well for me in most of the games I play, but I am looking for a relatively inexpensive Dx11 card to replace my GTX260. My monitor runs at 1680x1050 resolution. Are there any cards around $150...

So I'm frankly tired with PC cheating, and the general constant hardware upgrades, and lacking support and delayed game releases on the PC. Black Ops runs like crap and I don't even feel like messing with it anymore. I think I'm going to sell my PC, and pickup a 360 and a cheaper laptop for...

I'm currently using a core2duo cpu overclocked to 8x400, and noticed today that microcenter has the Q8300 on sale for $89.99. I'm wondering if getting this cpu will be a noticeable upgrade at all. I'm hoping I can overclock it to 3.0 without too much trouble. I'm trying to hold out on...

Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone here can help me. Around Christmas time I built a system for my uncle using the gigabyte P35-DS3L and a dual core cpu (cannot remember the exact cpu). From the very beginning, I noticed that the cpu fan did not immediately start spinning when the system was...

For $99 and a $25 mail in rebate, even if I don't need it right now, you think I should pick up another 2 gigs of this geil ddr2-800? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144062 It's so cheap now, I'd hate to run into it costing a lot more when I need it, but unless I run...

Call of Duty 2 for the PC: If you have this game and no longer play it, I would like to purchase your cd-key, I do not require the game, but would ask that if I pay you, you do not attempt to sell the game discs to anyone else, or maybe you could dispose of it after I get the key. This...

I am selling my cpu/mobo/ram/cooler/mouse for $300 shipped in the USA. The ram still sells for $192 on newegg, has a $25 rebate, making it about $167. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227210 The X2 3800+ runs stable on this mobo at 2.5ghz with 1.45 volts. New is about...
