Is anyone else having problems starting a UbiSoft game tonight? I have tried all of mine and they will not launch. All other games on Steam, Origin, EGS work fine.
I have an old 4790k system that has a Corsair memory stick that had a heat spreader fall off. Any recommendations for some thermal tape to get it back on? It has been stiing in my closet for years and my son has been going to Washburn University and wants to turn it into a Linux box.
I just built my son a new budget gaming computer for Christmas using the following parts:
AMD Ryzen 3 3100
MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk mobo
16gb Corsair Dominator Pro RGB 3200 memory
1 TB NVME SanDisk boot drive
2 TB spinner
Since I can't get my hands on a decent newer video card unless I want to pay...

Interesting article on Phoronix about nVidia adding multi-GPU extensions to open-GL. Since multi-GPU has not seen any adoption since Windows 10 I think this might be cool.

Good Deal and it includes Monster Hunter and EVGA page shows free Destiny 2 which includes both Expansion I: Curse of Osiris & Expansion II: Warmind.
I have a Dell U2711 monitor and it is starting to act strange. Sometimes it will not turn on when I hit the power button. I have to disconnect the power cable and insert a different power cable. If I reinsert the same cable it still will not turn on, I have to physically change the power cable...
I bought an Asus P8Z77 Pro in April of 2012 and it has been a rock until a few days ago when It let out the magical blue smoke. My Antec power supply died so I replaced it and as soon as I powered it on one of the surface mounted components lit up and burned out. You can see it to the left of...
Last week I was at Fry's and they had the MSI z87 M-Power SP on clearance for $88 plus a $30 rebate. I could not pass that up so I took one home. Today I finally picked up an I5 4690k to drop in there. My question is, I currently have an Asus P8Z77 Deluxe with an I5 2500k clocked at 4.5 gHZ. I...
I just picked up a Dell 2711 at Frys for $200. I know it's old and not the greatest but for the price I figured why not. If I don't like it the wife can surely use an upgrade. My question is, in order to use 2560 x 1440 do I need to use DisplayPort or can I use HDMI? I guess DL DVI works too...
I just added an old Samsung 19" monitor next to my 24' Asus monitor to rig in sig just to keep Web browser open while gaming. It woks just fine in windows but for some reason the bios screen always displays on the Samsung until it gets to the windows log on screen then it switches to the Asus...

I just picked up a Galaxy 560ti card for the rig in sig and it seems to have killed my overclock. I had been running at 3.5ghz for about 4 or 5 months with the GTX260 but now I get lockups when it goes into sleep mode. When I restart I get a bios message that my previous overclock has failed and...
Hey all, finally got time to start folding again after a few months off. I figured that there'd be a new client out so got 6.30 downloaded and ran the config with the smp flag but it seems to be only loading 1 core about 75% and the other 3 cores about 10%. If I recall bigadv should only be run...
First time building a loop and was wondering if there would be much of a benefit using a 280mm versus a 240mm radiator. I was going to get http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11743/ex-wat-159/XSPC_Rasa_750_RS240_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_Hot_Item.html#blank but was wondering if a 280mm...

I got my sig rig Oc'd to 3.45 and whenever I start from a cold boot all the fans spin up for a second then shutoff for a second then starts back up normally. CPU voltage is at 1.45. Memory is at 1410Mhz with a slight voltage increase to 1.6 (2.0 is max according to Patriot). If I reset CMOS it...

My 7 year old kid has officially been bitten by the bug. He wants to start folding on his computer which is a socket 939 3500+. I know he can't run the client on that but it's got an SLI mobo so I was wondering if 2 450's running the GPU client would work OK. Or should I take my 260 out and put...
Well, after a hard drive failure (Seagate 7200.11, surprise surprise) I had to reinstall everything. Now I gotta setup the cpu and gpu client again, but I'm going on vacation today so gonna hafta wait til next week. Can someone pick up my 12k ppd drop for the [H]orde?

Any suggestions to get it a lil more stable? Never BSOD'd but...
OK after running the SMP for about a month and realizing I had the wrong user name in it, I think I got it all set up. I spent the last few days uninstalling and reinstalling I think I finally got it running. Then last night Windows Update restarts my computer and I lost my whole night of...
I have a few Atlon 64 3500+ boxes laying around and was wondering if they would be worth setting up a lil baby farm. I'd need a few new video cards to run the GPU clients so any suggestions would be appreciated. Money is a lil short right now due to work being very slow so keep that in mind. I...
I have an HTC Tilt 2 from AT&T and am having trouble sending e-mail. I got a the Pop3 and SMTP server settings from Cox's website and have no trouble receiving mail just get an error sending. Any ideas?
