    is my video card dead?

    I have a 6800 gt that I've had for a while. Starting two days ago, I started getting artifacts on the screen. I tried re-installing drivers and cooling down the card. It got better. Then, all of sudden, while playing Company of Heroes, it started crashing. Now when I start the computer, the POST...

    Can' t get DVI to work on a BenQ FP202W

    My friend just got a BenQ FP202W monitor today and for some reason the DVI doesn't work. Everything is plugged in correctly, but for some reason when he switches the monitor to DVI mode it just says it gets no signal. He's using a Radeon X800 Pro video card. If anyone can help, it'd...

    Will a 300W power supply work with my ATI X700?

    Or my friend's card, rather. He had purchased a GeForce 6600GT for a PCI-express slot and a 350W power supply to power it, but he kept getting messages saying that there was not enough power being supplied to the card to power it effectively. After asking around, people told me that his...

    Not enough power for a 6600GT?

    black screen

    I try to boot ANY nvidia drivers for my 6800gt (and my MX 440 card that I know works). I boot comp. I get past Windows XP logo screen. Then the screen goes black. I can hear the Windows booting music, so I know the comp is working! It's such a tease. I can access the comp through safe mode...

    x800 pro (non-vivo) mod possible?

    I have a BBSaphire X800pro that I bought when they first came out a couple of months ago. I was wondering if there's an update on the success rate of modding my card to a x800xt. Last I heard, most, if not all, (about 7 cases I've heard from) Sapphire x800pros could be modded. Links would...

    Is 52C too high for a AMD 2400+ Thouroughbred

    The computer keeps restarting or shutting down for some reason. Do you think it's because of the cpu temp? How can I lower the temp? AMD 2400+ Thouroughbred Aeroflow Heatsink/Fan A7v266-C Mobo 80G Maxtor HD

    Really excited about these mobos, but the only processor I can find for them is the A64 3500+, which is $400!!! Are they gonna release any cheaper processors (like A64 3000+) for socket 939? Thanks!

    AMD64 3000+ or Best O/C'ed Mobile Chip?

    I see these mobile xp's averaging at 2.5 ghz!!! What mobile xp would get me the fastest speed, and would that be able to beat out an AMD64 3000+ in performance? I'm not really interested in 64-bit technology by the ways. Also, which would be the most cost-effective? Bang for buck? THANKS!

    Monitor not receiving a signal

    Friend's computer just built and the monitor is not receiving a signal. Monitor is not the problem. Even the video card doesn't seem to be the problem (tried with GFX5200, G4mx440, and GF5200 pci). What could possibly be wrong?! Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe Barton 2500+ Mushkin PC2700 512mb Memory...

    What is a pipe?

    I've heard about how the Radeon 9800xt has 8 pipes and X800pro has 12 pipes and X800xt has 16 pipes. These "pipes" apparently dramatically increase performance. But what exactly are they, and what do they do?
