    Graphics corruption only on startup, then goes away.

    So I have been having this weird issue lately. Computer boots into Windows 10... login screen has corruption along the bottom only... then when I login the taskbar is corrupted. Then it goes away shortly after. I've tried new drivers, checked my DP cable, re-seated the video card. I have no...

    G.Skill Trident Z issues, B-Die? RGB?

    So I'm kind of at my wits end with this memory. I've finally figured out all the small issues with my Ryzen Build, except this stupid RGB crap. So I've tried a bunch of different software to try and control these damn RGB lights... I've tried re-seating the memory... I've tried voodoo...

    Need help picking Ryzen 3 Motherboard.

    So I'm still running my trusty old i5 4690K at 4.5ghz. But I'm looking at upgrading to a Ryzen 5 3600. I recently went from a GTX970 to an MSI 1660 Super Gaming X because it's pretty much silent, and I was sick of the loud fan on my ITX 970 card. Now, I've been eyeing several MSI B450 boards...

    MSI Optix G27C, anyone?

    So my wife's BenQ FP93G-X finally bit the dust... which means she gets an upgrade to my current 24" 1080p VA BenQ EW2420. In turn, means I need to purchase a new monitor. I'm looking at this MSI Optix G27C, but I can't find a whole lot of info on it other than it does in fact have Freesync. I...

    Acer XB240H G-Sync, TN panel horrible or good enough?

    How bad is the TN panel on this monitor? I have a 10 year old FP93G X (Anyone remember it? It was one of the first gaming LCDs) and it's not horrible. But it's 19" 1280x1024@60hz... I'm currently using a BenQ EW2420 A-MVA panel monitor, which looks great, but has a ton of ghosting and input...

    XFX XTR 750 making a lot of noise

    I've had this PSU since before Christmas time, it's the build in my signature. I recently did a few upgrades, Crucial BX100 240gb SSD, and upgraded to 2x 8gb of the same model of memory. That is all and well... I also bought a 4TB Seagate Desktop HDD.15 Now, this 4TB Drive was a DoA...

    Google Chrome, random ads/pages opening...

    Not saying it's tied to [H], but it's the only page I've noticed it on so far... Randomly when clicking links on main page and in forum, stuff unrelated is opening in current or new tabs. One example is an eBay ad for a P4 3.6ghz CPU/Mobo/4gb RAM bundle... which opened from the...

    A8-3850 overclocking

    I can't get this system to budge... I got as far as 105mhz BCLK with software... Previously had issues with AHCI making my SSD disappear with high BCLK... then found out setting it to IDE fixed it. But I'm still having issues.. endless reboots above 105mhz. Even when dropping the...

    Gigabyte A75-UD4H

    So I built this budget computer... in hopes of doing some overclocking. I've hit a brick wall, VERY quickly. BCLK won't go anywhere worth spending the time to overclock it. 110mhz and my SSD is invisible. 133 + 134mhz also invisible. I thought there was a divider at 133? I've not...

    A8-3850 + 6670 XF, or 6850?

    So I've been offered a 6850 for my Zotac Nettop... But I'm not sure if I should take it... I can't find any solid numbers on this setup. A8-3850 + 6670 Hybrid Crossfire vs A8-3850 + 6850. I am hoping to find out which setup offers more performance. Can you guys point me to an...

    Recommend a good range PCI-E WLAN Card?

    I'm looking for a WLAN PCI-E card. It has to have decent range... and I'm hoping for an Atheros chip if possible, I've had good luck with them in my current 2 computers. Even the one in the ZBOX with no external antenna can get a good 100ft range and still be usable. Also, I'd like if...

    nVidia Ion 2

    So I've been looking all over the place for some good 3D reviews of the Ion 2, and I've found very little, only new games that I don't have interest in. I found YouTube videos of Counter-Strike: Source being played on one, but that doesn't tell me anything. What I want to know is... The...

    Acer Aspire 5050-5343 SATA Issue

    So I have this laptop and the Sata controller doesn't seem to function... Any ideas on how to get it working? Or replace it? I can't do much with it, except install an OS on a USB key, and use it slowly.

    WMP11 sharing problem.

    So I had my shared folders all setup and working exactly how I wanted them. Now I accidentally deleted one... and I remade it.. and it doesn't work anymore... I tried re-adding it, but it won't keep the settings. It's like pressing OK just acts as Cancel. So I go to the Library tab...

    iPod sync software besides iTunes?

    Looking for some software to sync my iPod Nano, it's a newer one that can't be modded with Rockbox. I'm currently using YamiPod and noticed I can't put videos on the iPod with it. I paid $20 for the iPod, and $11.34 shipped for a replacement LCD display, so I'm not looking to purchase any...

    Help me decide on PS3 or X360.

    Ok, I haven't owned a Console since PSX. I want something to do over the Winter time, and after work. I'm an avid cyclist, I ride Trials and DH, but after an 8 hour shift at a bike shop building bikes, lifting them, fixing them.. etc.. I'd rather just relax. First thing is first. If I...

    Upgrading from X850XT-PE?

    Well, not really an X850XT-PE, but an X800GTO^2, unlocked and overclocked far beyond X850XT-PE speeds. I have been running this card for 2.5 years now.. only complaint is lack of PS3.0 support, still has plenty of raw power to play most newer games at 1680x1050 if they support the dying...

    Will my Maze4 GPU fit on an 8800GT?

    Yeah, I don't want to get a new waterblock. From the pictures I have seen of the card, there looks to be two sets of mounting holes, hopefully they fit with my block. I know I will also need to get heatsinks for other chips on the card as well. Link to a kit for that?

    Default MS-Paint file saving format changable?

    So I save a lot of screenshots in MS-Paint so I don't have to wait for Photoshop to open. I was wondering if anyone knows how to change it to save as .PNG as default instead of .BMP It's one of those small annoyances that could be nice to have changed.

    ATi AM2 Sturgeon Reference Board

    Now that you've seen the board, I want to know what the hell is wrong with ATi. Look at the layout of it... it's horific. 2 Molex power connectors, bottom and left side. PCI slot will be blocked with Crossfire or if you're like me and put your video card in the lower slot anyways, with...

    Bought an Antec P180B today.

    So I did it, drove over to Canada Computers on Dundurn St, walked in and demanded an Antec P180B :) It's MUCH lighter than my Chieftec Matrix series case, and way better looking. I'm not going to put my parts in it yet though, I'm waiting for a Swiftech MCP655 to go along with it. Also...

    Good Distro for my hardware? (ATi)

    OpenGL (Quake 4) ATi and nVidia

    So today I've been looking around at the 7300GT, it's quite the impressive card for it's price. I currently have an x800GTO^2, is the 7300GT really getting similar performance to my card?? The reviews I have read make it seem like it. Anyone with a 7300GT want to post up some Quake 4...
