So I ordered another pair of the SAME ram just to be sure since timings were slightly different. The new set also does not work. (both sticks memtested) I turned on XMP and set them to both PC3-1600 and PC3-1333 and increased VCCSA slightly along with PCH. Still does not work! CPUID sees...

Hi guys, I've been running the Z77 with 2x4gb for a couple of years now fine. Recently, I bought another 2x4gb to add to it. Same model ram, I think slightly different timings but nothing big. The motherboard won't utilize either stick in the 2nd channel. It just picks up the Channel 1 8gb...

Hi guys, I would like to amplify the signal coming into my home since I'm now using Cetons using a +15 dB amplifier I already have. I checked out my box outside and would like a little guidance on how to install this amplifier. I'm not sure what kind of cable that is running into the...

I tried that but no good. I think the problem is pretty deeply rooted and won't even boot so pressing T does nothing. The system simply powers on. This vid shows the exact problem I have: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92TnIHBzlas Found a thread on the apple forum earlier and it didn't sound...

I have a 2008 MBP that is biting the dust. I have a dead nvidia 8600 GPU so I can't get any display. The HD is fine, but the graphics are not. Before I take it to the store and explore possible repairs (if any, wouldn't be surprised if it's time to buy a new MBP) I want to try to retrieve the...

It's really weird. I've tried several keyboards with both USB and P/S2 or whatever but once WHS boots, I cannot login. The computer recognizes the keyboard during boot and I can get into BIOS fine. But once WHS loads up, no more keyboard. I CAN use a mouse though. To top it off, the dumb...

Yeah, I get a BSOD there too while it's loading files.

This is weird and I've searched and searched and could not find a solution. I have 2 HDs, an OS drive and a storage 1TB drive that has programs and files on it. I just upgraded the OS drive to a 120gb SSD and figured I would grab some important folders off the 1TB and then reformat it, clearing...

Hi guys, I have a question about the fps drop when using fraps. Basically, what is the main hardware reason it drops fps? I'm not sure there's much I can do to help my situation, but maybe there is. I record WoW raids at 2560x1600 resolution on the rig in my comment and I drop down to 25-30...

Thanks guys! The adapter in my computer is N (D-Link DWA-552 Xtreme N) but the router is not (Linksys WRT54GL). Does N have a stronger signal? Should I consider getting an N router? Out of curiosity, if I got something powerful like this...

Hi guys, I was wondering about this antenna: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127063&cm_re=antenne-_-33-127-063-_-Product Can you put this on the wireless router itself to boost signal broadcast? Or is it strictly for the receiving adapter? Also, would there be any...

Okay, so I got a second powered USB 2.0 hub of a different manufacturer because I thought the first one I had was broken. Apparently, it's something I'm doing wrong or elsewhere. I have both hubs plugged into the wall and computer. When I have my mouse and keyboard plugged into them, they come...

Lol, I was thinking the EXACT same thing when I came to that.

Welcome to Hard Forum! I believe a post like this (called Want to Buy) would belong in the For Sale/Trade forum with a "WTB" tag at the beginning of the subject. That's quite an old beast there, I remember when I got a 1.25ghz athlon and thought it was the fastest thing ever. Running...

Not too sure about the movies yet, but I do a lot of photoshop work along with CAD. It's really far superior on the 30" than the 37" I'm finding.

This post isn't about a specific 30" (although I do love my new w3000h, SC2 is killer on it) but moreso about the transition from 37" 1080p to 30" Just wanted to throw this out there since this decision was tough for me, I thought others may have the same trouble. All I can say is, do not...

Thanks! Would photoshop still retain the audio?

Hi guys, I'm looking for a method or program that would allow me to draw on some HD video of mine frame by frame. Basically, I have my golf swing recorded and I'd like to add a line that follows the golf ball in flight. It's pretty neat. For you golf fans, I'm talking about Pro tracer...

I searched, honest! Didn't find a thread like this yet. Could we start one specifically for LCD TV setups? Talking about those 32"+ behemoths!

I've been reading up quite a bit and it seems like 30" monitors, although neat, are definitely not the most cost effective. For the same price as a single 3008wfp, 3x27" samsungs or practically any 27" from newegg can be had. Is this correct? Would you guys recommend the two or three 27"ers...

Hi guys, My buddy's small office has about 20 MB worth of database data (mainly contact information for about 5000 people) in an old, lousy MS Access database. He wants to pull the data out and into something like Outlook or even MySQL. Is there a way to do extract that information and place...

This game gave my buddies and I a really good time and now we're looking for some other stuff of similar nature. Coop, some RPG elements, etc. Anything else out there kind of like this besides Diablo? We like the 3rd person MGS aspect of it too.

So I recently purchased my first home theater audio system. I've always used built in speakers before this. I got a 5.1 Energy speaker system and a Polk center piece and a Yamaha receiver, all from Newegg. My question is about how I have it configured. Right now I have everything connected to...

Well I plugged my 260 back in for now and it works fine. Could this possibly be the card itself? Not sure what else it could be. I tried the other PCI slot, no good.

I'll check that out. I also downloaded GPU-Z and found this. These temps seem a little high, don't they? No OC'ing and I'm idling in WoW right now.

OK, Took it out, gently blew out any possible dust in socket and then placed card back in. Double checked the alignment, and it's fine. Same thing, 4 beeps. Shut off power supply, wait 5 seconds, turn back on, 0 beeps. I think it's my PSU. It's a BFG 550 watt from Best Buy. With my specs...

I'm sorry, didn't mean to double post. Please delete!

I just upgraded to an XFX 5870 from a Geforce GTX 260. My system was rock solid and stable with the GTX260. With the 5870, every time I turn on the computer, the fans on the card run at 100% and I get one long beep followed by 3 short ones. Then, I switch off the power supply and jiggle the card...

Hi guys, My buddy's computer is getting some pretty bad FPS and I can't figure out why. He gets about 26-29 fps in Dal and 15-20 fps during 25 man raids. His specs are: Q6600 OC'd to 2.7ghz 4gb ddr2 800 320gb 7200.10 16mb geforce GTX 260 Windows 7 64 bit In the game, his affects bar is set to...

My game is slowing down with 5 bots and myself set to 750 max units on 10x10 km maps The FPS is great, so I can tell it's the cpu or something other than the graphics card. I have graphics settings on medium with 2x AA. My Vista x64 is on a 150gb raptor and my game is installed on a seagate...

EDIT: I'm such a smart cookie I just noticed all the reviews on the 240 core cards. From that I derived that they were indeed not just added. I'm sorry guys, it's late and I'm cramming for finals so anything nonacademic gets me excited. ----------------- I just noticed on Newegg they have 240...

Hey guys, just curious but is WHS limited to 10 concurrent connections like XP? So, up to 10 computers can be browsing files on WHS at once?

Very cool. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll investigate all these and inform the boss. Also, I was planning on using synctoy to backup to the externals. Is there a way to delete backups older than x days? It'd be nice to have it completely automated. Delete old, backup new. I could also use...

That's cool. Would we need a fast upload connection for that? I think our office only has 512kbps upload. Also, can it be automated? Like, could I automatically upload my 30gb folder once a week, and hold 3 weeks of data on their server, automatically deleting the oldest week? (90gb)

I wonder if Supreme Commander would utilize all those?

Hi guys, I need some suggestions. The small business I work for (11 employees) put me in charge of their file server. They have ~30gb of files, and are not expecting to grow tremendously. It's taken them 10 years to accumulate that much. Right now, they have a file server with 1 250gb HD and...

Amazing. How fast are each of those cores? I'm going to suggest to my boss that our small business should get one. I think it'd only take us a few years to save up, and another few to afford the maintenance and support :)

Hi guys, My small office (11 employees) has a small 30 MB MySQL database. We need quick and regular access to it, so ideally we'd like to keep it on our LAN server. However, an application on our website hosted outside of the office needs access to it too, but does not require speed or...

It's not JUST a matter of how many games are coming out.... it's a matter of QUALITY too. Personally, I only give a rats ass for maybe, 2 or 3 of those. It sure seems to me that there are a growing number of crappy games on the horizon than quality.
