When I built my new PC everything was fine for a good 2 or 3 months. Now all of the sudden every 3 to 5 minutes my screen freezes for a second, goes black, and then refreshes and a little error bubble pops up at the bottom right corner. It says a display driver has stopped responding and has...

So I have Vista x64, and I noticed that I cannot view picture thumbnails. When I'm browsing through my folders and files of images, it just shows the default windows picture file icon, and not a thumbnail. Anyone know a fix for this?

Just got my HP w2207, great monitor, but after 2 days of use I noticed a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Any fixes or am I screwed?

So when I first had my GTS it was teh only expansion card in my case. @600/1750 it would idle at 49 or 50C. I just put in a sound card 2 slots down, now it idles at 58C. Is this normal?

What is a normal temp for an 8800 GTS. I'm overclocking it as we speak, and when I took the core from 513MHz to 525MHz it jumped my temps from 49C to 52C. Id like to go higher, but how far is too far?

I can't get ATItools to work with my vista x64. It won't recognize my video card, it just says default. Is there no way to easily OC a GPU in vista x64?

I am in the middle of OCing my e6300. I am currently at 2.7GHz @ 1.41 volts. Is this an average voltage, or can I lower that to reduce temps? Speedfan lists my cpu at 38C, core 0 @ 45C and core 1 @ 42 C. All this seem right?

I have the 680i (A1) with the P25 BIOS and everytime I boot up I have to hit F1 to continue. Anyone know how to fix this, its rather annoying.

I have built a number of computers over the years, but I have never ventured into overclocking. My newest build sports a core 2 duo e6300 and the evga 680i board. From what I understand these two components work great for overclocking. I am wanting to try it, but is there a very easy guide for...

I have a WD raptor X for my OS and games, and I have a seagate 320gb HDD just for storage. The Raptor is fine, but the seagate will not work. BIOS recognizes the drive, device manager recognized the drive, but when I open My Computer to access, it is nowhere to be found. I tried updating the...

So I just got my PC built today, and I'm using Vista Ultimate 64bit. I have the 8800GTS (640mb). I installed CS:S just to get a basic fps performace test, and it wasn't much of an improvment from my 7800GT. Avg was about 115 to 125 fps. Should I be getting more? Specs: C2D e6300 evga 680i...

So I just put my PC together, and my 9700 fam is scraping against the heat fins. When I lift up on the fins, the fan spins great, otherwise it scrapes. Its instlled on the 680i mobo (A1). Anyone else have problems with this, or know how to fix it?

Just out of curiousity, what anti-virus do you guys use with windows vista? I realize vista isn't the best gaming OS, but eventually this will be my gaming/multimedia machine? Any suggestions? My specs: C2D e6300 @ 2.8GHz evga 680i (A1) 8800GTS (640mb) 2gb ocz 1066MHz SLi memory WD...

Will changing out video cards with vista 64bit be a pain in the ass? I have all the component to my new build, but I can't afford a new video card yet (plus I kinda want to wait to see what happens in the next month or so.) I have changed video cards like 4 times with XP, I didn't know it...

Hey, I work at Best Buy (USA) and just saw that we have the 8600GTS (PNY) in stock. They are going for $249. 675MHz core clock 2000 MHz memory clock (effective) Cheers

I've got every piece to my new system except the video card. I've been debating between the 640GTS and the 320 GTS. I'm definatly getting an eVGA with the option to step-up, but i just can't afford the GTX right now. I game at 1680X1050, and will eventually run either of these cards in SLi, or...

I'm getting ready to purchase the eVGA 680i (A1) motherboard that will be paired with an overclocked C2D 6300. What would you guys recomend for a heatsink? I don't really want the Tuniq because of its size. I was thinking maybe the Zalman 9500 or 9700. Any thoughts?

Hey guys, I work at Best Buy and just saw an LG L246W come off the truck. Since I work back in the computers dept, I got to set it up (on a crappy analog connection with a picture slideshow.) I havn't got a chance to run any movies or games on it, but I wanted to know if anyone has heard...
