I recently bought an Asus 4870 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121276) and I am getting constant artifacts, with and without drivers. I put in my old 7800 gt and there were no problems, so it is definitely a problem with the card itself. The card is not overheating...

I was configuring T61 laptops to see what the final price would be, and when I got to the final check out screen I saw this: [img=http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/9008/lenovowtfro2.th.jpg] $2,021.95 tax on a $1,155.30 laptop? Really? Anyone know what is wrong with their site?

I plan on bringing my gaming desktop for my dorm, so the laptop I will be getting does not need to be very powerful, but since I will be bringing it around with my it would be a plus if it was light and had good battery life. I'll be majoring in computer science if that helps any. I was...

Does anyone know how well crossfire works on the IP 35 Pro? I have one and this January/February I will be upgrading my video card to either the RV680 or the new high end Nvidia card that are (hopefully) coming out around that time. If Dual RV680 cards in crossfire outperform the new Nvidia...

I am having a difficult time overclocking with my IP35 pro/q6600 G0 combo. Whatever I set my vcore in bios to shows up in CPU-Z, but whenever I turn prime on and stress all the cores, my vcore immediately drops to about 1.27 This is obviously a problem, since I can't last long without blue...

I recently updated my computer to Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Since then, my internet connection has been very inconsistent, with major lag, random ping and lost packets. Picture of ping tests: http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=networkwtfpb7.jpg After doing some research I've...

Yesterday, I finally made the switch to Windows Vista Ultimate. Everything seems to be fine, except for one problem. Since I've made the switch my internet speed has become very unstable. It is not just my internet speed though, my network speed is also abnormally slow. Here is a screenshot...

I am looking for 4 1 gig sticks of DDR2 800 RAM. I'll be using the ram with a Q6600 and an Abit IP35 pro. I plan on overclocking my Q6600 to its full potential, in conjunction with a Thermalright 120 ultra. Now, the question I have is, would this ram from Team Xtreem with 4-4-4-10 timings...

First off, let me say that I do not plan to order this system for at least 2 months, but I really want to start planning early to make sure I can look at all my options. All of my links go to the selected products page on newegg.com I checked all the prices on pricegrabber as well, and the...

Hi, What would I need to purchase to make it possible for me to play a console on my computer monitor? Is it even possible? I currently have a Samsung 19 inch SyncMaster 997MB CRT, and I run my windows at 1280 X 960. I would want to run my playstation 2 on my monitor, so there wouldn't be...

I have an Asus A8n5X mobo with four SATA 150 connectors. Now, if I bought this hard drive, which is SATA 3, would it work in my system without any problem?

Hi, Ever since I have had my PC, it has always been strange starting up. About 1/4 of the times starting up, my pc would take about 4 minutes for the blue bar to scroll across, and then for no reason at all, the bar would just randomly stop, and I woul dhave to manually restart. Another 1/4...

Hi everyone. When I run windows update it says that the latest update is "Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1" and "Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)" Now, when I click download/install it downloads just fine, and it looks like it installs fine too, but when it finishes it...

I recently bought a new mic (Labtec 333) after hearing good reviews that it was a good mic for a cheap price. I plugged it in, and tested it in Ventrilo. I couldn't hear myself, so I turned my outbound all the way up. Still nothing. I then turned my computers mic setting to max. Still...

So I am looking for a replacement. I have a X-Fi Xtreme music sound card, so headphones that go well with that would be nice. I don't necessarily need a headset anymore, since I have a good independant mic now. I really do not know much about quality headphones, so could you guys help me out...

Anyone else have problems with wireless adapters? Linksys has no drivers for Vista yet, but Vista itself had some sort of built in driver to allow the use of my Linksys card, though no Linksys drivers are installed. Thing is, I have WEP, and when I try to connect through the Vista driver, it...

What would you say is the best cooler for the 7800 GT? I know there is a sticky about fans, but it is a bit out of date. Space it not a real issue, and neither is sound, though quieter is obviously preffered. So far from my research, it seems that these are the best choices...

A while back I remember reading an interview with a guy from ageia, and I remember him saying something about there being different versions of the PPU card, one for PCI slots, and one for PCI-E 4x slots. I remember him stating that the one for PCI-E 4x would be a bit better than the regular...

Hello, I was trying to update my 7800 GT's drivers to Nvidia's latest beta drivers that offer Oblivion optimizations. First, I uninstalled the old drivers. It asked me to restart, so I did. On startup, everything was normal, POST was fine, and so was the Windows loading screen, but after the...

Ok, so I decided to make a new thread, since this was posted on the Elder Scrolls forum, and many people have this problem. I have a very good PC, X2 4200, 2 gigs of ram, XFI sound card, and a 7800gt. In oblivion I can run at 1 280 x 960, with sliders all on or al off, it makes no difference...

Hi everyone, I'm not really sure which section this would go in, so I will just post here. I just created a memtest floppy and wanted to see how my ram would overclock. So I went into my BIOS and changed my cas from 3 to 2.5 and speed from 400 to 433. I pressed F10 and saved, and everything...

Hi, I am a gamer and I have the Saitek Eclipse keyboard. I play COD2 a lot, and I remapped my controls so that Z is my prone button and Ctrl is my crouch. Sometime when I am playing, the Z button becomes unresponsive. I cant even type in chat. I can minimize the game however, and Z works...

Hello, I have a Maxtor SATA HD and I want to test its integrity. On the Maxtor site you can download a tool to do this called Power Max, but it only works for ATA drives. There is no listing for an SATA drive. Anyone know any good SATA testers that will see if my drive is defective?

Hi, Not sure if this is the correct board, but oh well. I have a dual core 4200+ and I recently downloaded Folding@home. For some reason, the program only utilises 50% (at most) of my processing power. Other programs take advantage of my dual core, how do I make Folding take advantage?

I made a thread similiar to this about a month ago, but decided to make a fresh one, since that is long gone and I have compiled everything I know about the problem into this thread. I have Windows XP Home OEM and it installed without a hitch. When I boot up my pc, sometimes it boots into...

Hi everyone, I have Windows XP, and yesterday I was fiddling around with overclocking, nothing big just a few Mhz here, a few there, and my system locked up. No big deal, I was overclocking after all, so I restart my computer and put my bios back to their regular settings. Up comes the...
