New build with Z68 fatal1ty gen3/4 professional with 2500K and 2 sticks of 1.25v corsair sniper ram.
When I restart from windows, the computer does not post. No power is given to display or USB ports. I have to power it down and then repower it, then it will post and run fine... until I...
I have a z68 fatl1ty by ASROCK and I'm having some very weird issues. At stock settings, the computer functions perfectly fine with absolutely no hickups.
I've tried overclocking and tried different settings and volts, and when I change from default settings and find a stable overclock and...
I put a new rig together yesterday and so far it's very inconsistent. The computer boots and runs fine, sometimes, and once it's in windows it seems stable. However, it doesn't always boot up. I'd say 60-70% of the time it has failure to post.
It's a Z68 motherboard fatal1ty...
I have my new rig all hooked up, boots fine, I go into windows setup and it refuses to install windows to the disk.
Says "WINDOWS CANNOT BE INSTALLED TO THIS DISK."
If you press show details it says, " Windows cannot e installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support...
I've owned them all, Leaps, Aerons and I can't stand the ergonomic computer chairs. They're extremely uncomfortable in any position except the 100% upright, back straightened, to "task" position.
I have a $1200 chair sitting in my room that may as well be a paperweight. I hate sitting in...
This is the last thing I need to place the order for my build and I want to get it right.
How is this ram?

Is there any reason to go for 1.5v sticks over the 1.25v sniper?
You think it's low profile enough to fit under a...
The 690 was just about my favorite case of all time, and I'd like another...but I was having "space" issues with just one GTX 560.
Will the 690 II fit GTX 580s? If they can without a problem, then what's the motivation for getting a larger HAF case considering it seems to be a cheaper...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Almost exclusively for gaming. I'd like to be able to run games like Shogun 2, BF3, etc. on maximum settings @ 1900x1200 on a single monitor, with another monitor for surfing/browsing.
2) What's your budget? Are...
I have a pair of old Samsung 245ts that are still doing great and I'm not ready to replace them. They both came with some very short 6' DVI cables that have pissed me off for just about ever and since I'm doing a new build, I've decided to replace the cables with something longer.
The...
So it's time for a new build and my last two previous PCs were a Cosmos S and a CM 690.
Both were probably two of the finest PC cases I've ever used. The build quality on them was astounding! I particularly loved the layout of the 690 but found it a tidbit small.
So now it's time for a...
I'm at a loss as to what I should do. I just parted out my old q6600 system and I'm just about to order up a new PC.
Should I pick up a 2500k and then drop $250 on an ASRock Z68 gen 3 motherboard with PCI-E generation 3 compatibility?
That way I can just buy an IB and a PCI-E 3 video card...
This is the last item that I need to sell so I'm willing to take a loss on it.
First person to IM me @ $80 gets it, otherwise you can bid any amount between 20-79 and the person with the highest bid gets it when I wake up tomorrow.
All prices are shipped and all items are guaranteed to work on arrival.

Lightly used GTX 560 ti Fermi superclocked edition. It comes with the box and all original packaging. It's never been overclocked and has been run at stock speeds. Has a couple months of use but it still in great condition, and never had a single hickup with it...
I'm upgrading soon and I'm a little unsure as to the best way to handle my video card.
My planned computer is a very overclocked i5 2500k, 8gb of DDR3, SSD... and I'm trying to find a good video card solution.
I have a single Nvidia GTX 560ti and I have no problem buying another to SLI...
I want to trade my EVGA Nvidia GTX 560ti (in great condition - never been OC'd) for a 2GB chip, preferably Nvidia.
I would like to get my hands on a 580 or better and I'll definitely add in enough cash to balance the transaction. Let me know if you have any 2gb cards - even a 560ti 2gb...
Building a new PC and I'm not sure which of these options I should go with. My understanding is that the 320 is the best current SSD, but that the new sandyville NAND drives sacrifice reliability for a small increase in speed over the 320.
The new cherryville comes out November 4th and will...

Someone dropped off a non-working Dell XPS 400 (old piece of crap) that I was going to fix and give away. It was missing a PSU, and I was told that was the broken part so I threw another PSU in there and go to boot it up...

Over the last few weeks, my video has card has been causing my system's power to cycle through either over-voltaging or over-heating. My PC will run find until under demand, and then lose power failing to turn back on and only try to come on a few seconds, and then turn itself off over... and...

Ok. I bought a 1TB SATA Western Digital Caviar about 2 months ago. It was working fine. About 2 hours ago I plugged in a DVD burner. When I booted up, I saw there was no Z: drive. I shut it down, saw there was a jumper on the DVD burner, removed the jumper, booted up, it recognized the...

UPDATE: Problems subsided after I removed my secondary monitor. Issue is related to ATI video card not being able to run dual monitor setups reliably.

I replaced my 8800GTX after receiving the nvlddkdm.sys error in Vista-64. I re-formatted my hard drive, installed the 4850, installed the corresponding drivers, and booted up.

I also have been crashing repeatedly in almost any game I run with the ATI...
I just recently finished my new build and I'm trying to overclock it and so far it's plagued with general instability that other people with 8GB of ram generally seem to be having.
The heatsink (Zalman9700) seems to be doing a tremendous job, as I can get the Q6600 vCore up to the high 1.4's...
I am setting up a Cosmos case and I have the motherboard and add-ons installed, but I can't for the life of me get the HDD cage out to install a hard drive.
I've even resorted to opening the side of the case, clearing out the cables, and kicking as hard as I can w/ my shoes. So being that I...
I made the mistake of using a case that was too small and now that it's time to upgrade I can't get the motherboard out because I my heatsink is hovering over it.
My PSU is too big to remove until the motherboard comes out so I can't go from the top side. I can't go from the back of the case...
A COD4 developer's comment from his blog.

The numbers given later were that piracy accounted for 75-80% of total clients in North American and over 90% overseas, and that was a conservative...
Samsung 305T or Sharp 32" Aquos?
They are the same price, the Samsung is 30" with 1600p and the Sharp is 32" at 1080p.
The Samsung seems like the better deal and a far better product but I see quite a few Sharp threads in this forum...so I have to ask.
I've decided to purchase a very large gaming monitor and this is something I'm not at all well versed in and need some help. I'm currently using a set of 1600x1200 resolution monitors I'd prefer not to have to use something with a smaller resolution.
What are the differences between a 1080p...
I am in the market for a medium to high end gaming laptop, and before haphazardly placing my order I decided to get a second opinion.
I had a few criteria -
* Intel C2D Processor
* nVidia 8000 series video card w/ dx10 capability and 512mb memory or better
* 17" display capable of running...
I need a card with S-video in so I can record from VHS and Camcorder to my computer. I've got no experience with video capture but from what I understand the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-500 can do that, correct? Anyone have any experiences good or bad with that card or similar ones?
