So my G5 died awhile ago and I was given a G500 as a replacement, even though I really didn't like it that much it worked just fine up until today. I'm a big Diablo fan so I bought myself the new Steelseries QCK Barbarian cloth pad which looks great and is huge but there's one problem, the...

Hello chaps, Fairly soon I'll be spending a fair amount of dough on a new rig for Crysis (surprise surprise) and I'd like some opinions on the parts I picked, to be honest I just picked the most expensive in some slots and assumed their the best, if this isn't the case please let me know...

Just a quick question for owners of this mouse, is your bottom left mouse button a little loose and clunky? I just got mine in the mail today and it seems as if it's broken, the button seems to be too far into the plastic and is hard to click unlike the top left button. I just want to make...

Hiya, My bottom case fan has broken so I've ordered a replacement but I can't for the life of me figure out how I got the front cover off in the first place, it was like 2 years ago or something. The case is http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/126236. If anyone has this case and can solve...

I've been having problems with my Nvidia 8800 for awhile but it's been bare able up until now. My problem is the drivers seem to corrupt or uninstall themselves at their own leisure. I'll reboot the PC and it's pot luck if they're still working or not but I always "fixed" this by reinstalling...

As the title says, my mini fridge is causing my speakers to pop. Every so often my fridge makes a noise and then my speakers pop, it's very annoying. The speakers and fridge are on the opposite side of the room and are not plugged into the same extension lead. Any possible fixes without...

I just picked up this monitor today: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-009-NE and I was wondering if it's possible to connect my Sky Digibox directly to it? Preferably without spending a heap of cash in the process.

I'll be ordering a new monitor within a week or so and I just can't decide which one to get. ATM I think it's between http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-004-AS and http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-009-NE, does anyone have experience with the Asus? I...

Just got this from Father Christmas and unfortunately it just doesn't feel "right", I don't know how to explain it really, it just feels like it has a mind of it's own and it doesn't feel very responsive. Making fast movements and trying to select skills in games or just trying to get to the...

After a couple of DLL errors which I corrected by downloading them and installing them to my system32 folder I now find I have some gfx issues with the game too! http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8641/hmhz3.jpg AMD 4600+ X2, 2GB Ram & Nvidia 8800. All latest drives etc and all stock.

Straight off the bat I've never seen or used a GPU cooler so I have no idea what I'm looking for, but I do know my Nvidia 8800 is getting too hot for my liking (not overclocked or anything either) Anyone got some links to good GPU coolers that'll work with my card? Cheers

So money is a bit short this month, I was expecting to upgrade both my RAM and my CPU but it might be possible for only one upgrade right now, so the question is, what to get? I can either go from 1GB(not duel channel or anything fancy) to 2x1GB kit duel channel or I can go from an AMD 64 3500+...

Hiya, When I play WoW at 1024x I have 120hz and my mouse is nice and smooth how I like it, but when I change to some eye candy at 1600x @ 75hz my mouse feels really slow and it's pretty annoying. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

Just got myself an Nvidia 8800 GTS today and I was expecting a little more. I still get as little as 10 FPS in extreme crowded areas (LHC with 3 guilds waiting to go Naxx) I'm running the game at 1024x res with 16x AF and 16x AF with all in game settings max. Maybe I'm just expecting too much...

Topic pretty much, I really enjoyed the PS2 version and was wondering if there's anything similar on the PC?

Hi, I bought Fear from play.com and when it arrived it was a DVD, not a CD. Problem is I don't have a DVD rom drive, I've borrowed a drive from my friend so I've managed to install the game and make an ISO of it but the problem is it still needs the DVD in to play. I'll be giving the drive...

Having some problems atm, I usually use ATI Tool but it doesn't seem to work with this card, no numbers show in the core/mem. And when I try and use the software that came with Omega Drivers I get some error like "Unable to retrive info from bios".... Does anyone knows what's up? Or is there...

Well today I went hunting for a new gfx card, my plan was to get an AGP 8x card like an x800 or something but it seems people don't really stock AGP any more so I bought a PCI-e mobo and the x1300 Pro 256mb PCI-e card. So far it seems pretty nice although I've not really played any top games...

Instead of bumping the really huge thread on this I thought I'd make a new one. I really like to see what others look like and gives me something to do when I'm bored :) Here's me.

Hiya, I bought some new parts about 2 weeks ago and I was wondering the best/easy way to overclock with little experiance... My CPU is 64bit 3500 winchester, my ram is pc3200 corsair. I have 2 120mm antec case fans, stock CPU fan and an 80mm case fan that has like a funnel thing that...

Well.... I was planning on buying a AMD 64bit 3500+ winchester, but it seems all mobos need bios updates before they work, well this is a problem obviously. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any GOOD mobos that come winchester ready or I'll have to go for the Newcastle brand. I'm buying...

I've got windows media player 9 and when I try and open mpeg or wmv in it the picture is strange colors like pink, yellow and green and you can't really make out the actuall picture. This happens also when streaming from places like yahoo! launch. I'm guessing it's a codec problem but I've...

I'm stuck here, how do I open the door?

I'm in Alpha lab 4 I think, it's the bit where you gotta go over that moving bridge, I just can't work out how to do it? Only thing I can see would be to make 2 big jumps, I can make the first but the second just seems to far. Someone help plz.

Someone said they got a huge performance increase by extracting PK4 files & deleting the originals, does anyone have any more info on this?
