While my mom was watching her my 8 month baby girl was repeatedly pressing and holding the power on my PC so now its in a constant boot loop where it tried to get into BIOS but stops and reboots again. I followed the steps to clear CMOS and that didn't work. I'm afraid the mobo may of been...

I don't play many flight games, only time I fly is when I'm in a jet in Battlefield 4. I've been using the XBOX 360 controller for some time, it does OK but I know I'd fly better with a flight stick. Any recommendations for a flight stick that is light and responds well?

I bought red LED Cooler-Master Sickleflow 120 and they look bright when pulling air into my case but are dim from the other side when pushing hot air out. Is there another quality brand that looks bright as an exhaust fan?

I bought case fans with only one speed so they are louder than I like. Can a fan controller lower the speed of a fan or will it only work with fans that can do different speeds?

Need thoughts and opinions on my current rig to see if its possible to upgrade to a 7950 without a bottleneck. I have a Shuttle XPC case so I cannot use cross fire as there is only two PCI slots nor change out the mobo, I'm stuck with the LGA 775 socket. So here there lies my problem. I...

First time looking at setting up a CrossFire rig using my SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870 so my question is will I need the exact same model of card to do this? I found the model of card I have is no long available so can I look at similar models or will almost any 6870 with similar specs will do?

I work for a commercial ISP and can be given free rack space and my own /24 IP address for my own server. I want to use a old WinXP machine for backing up data off my current home PC. My own Mozy if you will. What do I need to do configure my old PC to be accessed from home? If it's...

Probably an easy question but want to verify this can be done. My old HDD is dying so I'm replacing it with a new one. Have to reload install the OS and all that jazz onto the new HDD. I also bought an enclosure for my old drive, will I be able to access the old drive's data to load onto the new...

I just bought a Samsung BX2331 LED monitor and cannot get the native resolution of 1920x1080 to fill the screen. If I lower to something like 1680x1050 it will fill the screen. I tried everything including uninstalling and reinstalling the Ati catalyst drivers. My graphics is a ATi 4850. Big...

I'm in the market to upgrade my 4850 but from reading the forum new cards look to be coming out soon. Should I wait before buying a 5850?

My very old Four Point Surround 4.1 speaker system has pretty much had it. Especially after my cat ate the speaker wires :mad: I'm not audiophile but I do like hearing people try to sneak up behind me. Plus the 4.1 system came with its own stands. Is there a new system that you can...

I just ordered a new rig and the GPU is the 4850 and the CPU is below, will the CPU bottleneck my system? Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 Wolfdale 2.53GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

I'm still using my AGP 6800GT from 2004 as I hadn't been impressed with the Geforce8 cards at all. I'm not seeing a jump like I did with the Geforce5 to 6 series. Even the newer cards are very ho-hum for the money. Anybody else holding out till they see an excellent card from ATI or Nvidia released?

I just downloaded AOL IM 5.9.3861 and I'm unable to search for buddies via common interest nor make myself available by common interest. keeping getting 'Please wait hile we load keywords from host...' and I do wait. I tried this from my work and home PC, both with firewall and virus scanner...

I'm looking at upgrading my rig from a 3200XP to the 64 bit 3200 or up to a 3400. I have a 6800GT and 1Gb RAM, would I see a significent increase in performance?

I own a 4x TDK DVD+R burner and I'm tempted to buy a dual-layer burner since they're getting cheaper around $100 but they still seem slow at 2.4x for DL. I also noticed that blank DVD+R9 media is hard to come by. My local CompUSA had none in stock. Anybody own a DL burner, are they worth it?

I bought a cheap 64Mb GeforceMX 4000 to use while my 6800GT gets RMA'ed. This card is so dinky and small with a fanless heatsink, lol. I'm not planning on doing any serious gaming with it but what is supposed to be equal to? I doubt a Geforce 4, maybe a Geforce 2?

Ok, my PNY 6800GT bit the dust right when HL2 is getting good. Anybody have any experience with PNY's RMA process, how long did it take?

Ok, got my 3200XP w400FSB installed. My BIOS frequency is at 133. Should I leave it or change it now? ------------------------- SN45G XP Home PNY 6800GT Corsair 1Gb 400DDR AMD 3200XP 250W PSU

Ok, whats the best stuff to remove old heat gease? I thought it was nail polish remover or acetone but I could be wrong. Thanks

I must give praise to Nvidia this go around as the 6800s has to be their best line ever. Many exceptional grades to choose from and a $200 LE model that blows away the last generations top cards. I guess Nvidia learned their lesson from the FX series and put their asses into high gear. This...

Ok, I got my 6800GT and I've moved from 1024x768 to a 1280x1024 for gaming but I still prefer the 1024x768 for desktop and internet use. Anyways, can I leave the desktop at 1024 and set a game's options to 1280 without screwing anything up. I know back in the Win98 days the desktop res & color...

Ok, this is just a rant but I must say this has to be the worst launch by both Nvidia & ATI. I can't believe how long its taking to get their latest cards into stores and finding them online can be a drag. Its like trying to find a PS2 in late 2000. I remember when ATI launched their 8500 they...
