I recently upped my work station's monitors to 2x 1920 x 1200 displays. One is in portrait for ze codes, and the other is in landscape for ze arts. Since I've made this change, I've been having all sorts of problems with my video card... it seems to be running out of texture memory or...

This morning I had a USB card reader that wasn't working on an OSX laptop, so I plugged it into my PC. My PC then went bonkers and everything slowed down to a crawl, so I unplugged the card reader, and the lag didn't let up. I then unplugged everything from the back, including a eSATA hard...

SPECS: I have 6gb of memory in the board, but at first only 2gb was showing up in Windows 7. So I turn on X.M.P. according to g.skill's advice, and now 4gb show up. The strange thing is that all 6 gigs of ram show up according to CPU-Z. Has anyone here experienced this problem, and if so...

Is there such a case with all of that these days? I've been doing a lot of searching but it seems that over the past year or so all cases have giant fans for side panels with mesh sides and tiny windows. I currently own a Thermaltake Armor but I really really want a side mounting hard drive...

And now a reading from the list of questions provided in the sticky. I'm sitting on a 5870, a power supply, new hard drive, and dvd drive that originally I was going to put into my current PC -- but recently some events have transpired that have allowed me to afford a completely new build. As...

Pretty straight forward issue. In L4D2 after a campaign or two, the game locks up with a looping sound effect playing. After about 10 seconds, both my monitors turn off as if they're getting no signal. This has also happened with Starcraft 2 beta on one occasion, but it's definitely more...

I'm looking for the next upgrade step on my PC, and I think the video card is that next step. Currently, my hardware is such: (Also, it's been awhile since I touched any hardware, so I'm probably very rusty.) Mobo: ASUS P5Q Deluxe CPU: q6600 at 3.1ghz RAM: 4gz OCZ Reaper or something Video...

Gotta make this quick because my computer might be turning off against my will in the next few minutes! I've been using a 520w modstream that is at least a couple years old now, and my computer is starting to experience some power related issues today... My computer! Mother Board: Asus...

I'm running an overclocked q6600 (which has been tested and tested and tested and it looks stable.) and suddenly encountered my first BSOD in Windows XP 64-bit last night. I was just browsing using Firefox 3 when it happened. It was PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA with win32k.sys. The only...

Heres the setup: p5q deluxe q6600 @ 3.0ghz (1.3v in the motherboard, 1.26 or so when read from probe and cpu-z) OCZ reaper DDR2 800mhz (2x2gb) 8800gts OCZ 520w modstream And now the situation: Since I've been tinkering with the overclocking world on this computer over the past few...

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has this mobo and cpu and is willing to share their settings at all. I havent OC'ed anything since my athlon 64 3700+ built 2.5 years ago, so I feel like a newb all over again. Hoping to push it to 3.0ghz. cpu: q6600 g0 stepping ram: ocz reaper 2x2gb ddr2...

I started one of these back in February, but it turned out I wasn't able to upgrade back then. Now I'm back, with some stuff I want to get, seeking any advice and approval! I haven't built a PC in about two and a half years (I'm running on an overclocked athlon 64 3700+ right now.) so I'm a...

Around December/January is when I'm planning on overhauling my current build with something more up to date to run UT3 and other games with more than 45fps. ;p Heres the current situation: Asus A8N SLI Premium Athlon 64 3700+ at 2.7ghz OCZ Platinum 2gb RAM BFG 8800GTS OCZ 520w PSU...

So I've had this Saitek Eclipse keyboard for the longest time, and it has pretty poor n-key roll over. Like I cant press up, left, and numpad 0 at the same time, the 3rd key wont register. So I thought any other keyboard has to be able to do something like this... I bought one of the...

I think I know that the videocard is the only thing broken in the computer, but just to make sure I want to get some second opinions. I'll start from the beginning. You probably want to know the specs now: Asus A8N SLI Premium 7800gtx 2gb OCZ platinum ram Athlon 64 3700+ (running at...

To all of you who already have a Wii, how difficult was the setup? I'll be getting mine for a few hours, but I'm just curious as to how long it takes everyone to un-box it, set up the sensor bar thing, sync their wiimotes, and play their first game.

*Not really sure if this is the appropriate section. Move if necessary ;D* It seems that I may have stumbled onto a faulty CD-ROM drive, but I'm not entirely sure. Its not a simple task for me to switch out with another one, so I thought I would go for some input from the internets. First...

I think I'm done overclocking this thing and I'm happy at where its at. -Asus A8N-SLI Premium -Athlon 64 3700+ -OCZ Platinum 2GB -Leadtek 7800GTX 256MB -OCZ ModStream 520w And here are the details of the OC: Timing Mode: Manual >Memclock index value: 400 mhz >Cas latency (TCL) ...

Okay, so I put together a system a couple of weeks ago... and I want to start getting into the OC'ing world. Not too much, but just enough to squeeze a little more out of my stuff. Here are the specs: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium (rev 1.02, bios 1009) Athlon 64 3700+ (Thermalright XP-90C on it)...

The top blowhole fan, and the small fan on the top back are supposively 90 x 90 x 25mm, and I dont think I can find any 90mm fans to buy. Will 92mm fans fit into the slots instead of a 90mm fan? If a 92mm fan will fit, does anyone know if 92mm fans with UV cold cathodes on them exist...

I currently have an msi neo2 platinum thats dead. It may be a short in the case, or it may be a dead motherboard, so before MSI tech support even bothers with me they want me to test the motherboard outside of the case. My question is, what kind of surface would be ideal for this? I plan on...

I've been using the asus a8n-sli premium for a week now, and I've noticed some small boot up problems. When powering it on, sometimes it will: 1. Display the processor, and not get any further. 2. Display the processor, ram, and chipset, and it wont detect IDE drives. 3. Goes into...

Weeeee... this is my first post ;D So bear with me here. I just built a system that contains the following: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium (BIOS 1008) Athlon 64 3700+ (ThermalRight XP-90C Heatsink) OCZ Platinum 2gb DDR400 PC3200 Leadtek 7800GTX OCZ ModStream 520w So, being told that this ram...
