    Thread Stuck in Device Driver?

    I have a Radeon 290x, and my machine periodically throws a BSOD with "Thread Stuck in device driver" as the message. All the stuff I've been able to find online points to a driver issue, but this has been happening for at least the past year's worth of Radeon drivers. It doesn't happen in games...

    Radeon 290 arrived non-functioning

    A few weeks ago, I ordered a used 290 from a user her on HF. When it arrived, it would work (sort of), but once you started using the 3d part, it would make a high pitched whine. Then it started artifacting and going to a black screen after a little use. I contacted the seller and he asked me to...

    R9 290 Black screen as soon as the driver loads

    Works fine with MS generic display driver, but as soon I the Radeon driver tries to load during the install, the screen goes black and the GPU fan goes to 100%. Any ideas? I'm running a Corsair RM850 PSU, which should be good enough for a single 290, based on what I have read. Prior to...

    Suggestions on a decent headset/mic, maybe wireless.

    I'm looking for a decent headset w/mic for gaming/Teamspeak/VOIP. While I would like them to sound "good", audiophile-level fidelity is not a priority. In the past, I've used the cheaper (<$150) Sennheiser sets, and been pretty happy with them. I would like to go wireless, but I'm not sure...

    Wireless MAC spoofing on Win7

    Has anyone had any luck getting wireless MAC address spoofing working under Windows 7? I've tried on a couple of different systems, ones that allow you to change it in the NIC properties, and ones where you can't (used the registry edit method on those). In both cases, after making the changes...

    XB360 profile problem

    I'm having a strange problem with my XBox live profile. I only have one profile on my 360, the one I use for XBL. I can use Netflix and download games, etc without any problem. However, when I start up a game from my game library (Puzzle Quest 2, in this case), the game will act like I'm not...

    Wanting to build a "Movie box" for my daughter

    Interesting article about how 32 bit windows handles memory >4gb

    You know, I thought I knew how this worked, particularly in respect to why 32-bit Windows couldn't use more than 4gb of RAM. Turns out I was wrong. Awesome article. http://www.geoffchappell.com/viewer.htm?doc=notes/windows/license/memory.htm

    Bags for 17.3" laptops?

    A friend of mine just bought one of the HP 17.3" laptops and is having trouble finding a bag that suits her. Looking around a little (Newegg, buy.com, some Google searches), it seems like bags for >17" laptops are pretty scarce. Maybe I'm just not executing the right Google-fu. Any suggestions?

    Any idea when newer GPU units will hit Newegg?

    I'm pretty much set on buying something from newegg (been using them for years, good prices, good credit line with them). However, they aren't showing any laptops with the 260-line (Newest they have is the 130) and only a couple of units with the ATI 4000 series GPUs. I'm pretty much set to...

    Here. 1299.00 is not a super-low price for this model, but it's still a lot of laptop for the money. 1gb 9800gs, 1920x1200 screen, vista home premium... I know TD isn't a favorite around here, but I thought I'd pass it along.

    Anyone seen a Tosh F55-Q5023 ??

The Toshiba F55-Q503 looks like just what I want at a pretty decent price (1749 list, I figure it should retail for a little less). Google is...

    Looking for something like a Macbook Pro, but not a MBP.

    I was in BB the other day and laid hands on a Macbook Pro. I can't help but admit that I liked it. It made me feel a little dirty inside, but I liked it. I'd like to find something that's pretty much exactly like the MBP (slot loading DVD-R, thin form factor, decent 3d, good display), but that...
