I'm in full whiny bitch mode right now. Performed a clean install of windows last night, set everything up, d/l Origin and try to d/l BF1. Its been doing this thing where it climbs a few % then drops back a few %, I'm at 72% right now and its gone as high as 80% then rolls back to 60%. I'm...

Woke up to an email from Steam saying that someone with a Russian IP address tried to log in to my account. Obviously they didn't get any further than the email authentication. Does this mean that they potentially had my password, since they got that far? Most times when I log in from my...

Can someone help me identify this burnt out chip on my motherboard please? is this a burnt voltage mosfet? I received this motherboard as an RMA replacement and the same thing, not sure if the same chip but its in the exact same area, has fried, AGAIN. These chips are located left of the CPU...

Hi guys, I've had my galaxy gtx780 for a little over a year now. Two days ago I was playing BF4 (the new dragons teeth maps) when my monitor shut off. The display on my logitech g510 which normally displays evga precision information about the gpu scrambled all the numbers as well. The display...

Hi everyone, I just sat down at my PC and saw that BF4 had an update so I proceded to download it. All of a sudden the PC shut down, I thought, that was weird, never happened before. Pressed the power button and nothing happened. I pulled the side off, no electrical smell or anything out of...

This seems too good to be true but I'm going in this morning to give it a try! My wife and I will both trade in a separate old game! They're offering Call of Duty : Ghosts, Assassins Creed : Black Flag and Battlefield 4 for one "current gen" trade-in...

I'm getting random crashes, mostly when the computer is idle, while using a new GTX 780 and precision x 4.2. When I shake my mouse to wake my monitor in the morning, some times it takes up to 30 seconds for my monitor to wake, then I'm presented with a driver crashed then recovered error, or...

Just bought one my self, awesome SSD http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX33418

So my 10 year old Klipsch 2.1 promedias started eating fuses for breakfast recently. As soon as the power is turned on on the back of the sub, the light comes on for half a second then shuts down. I've confirmed the fuses are the exact specs needed. There are a lot of similar posts on the...

Can I receive audio on the ipod from a bluetooth audio transmitter connected to my home theatre receiver via headphone jack (the transmitter fits into the headphone jack) basically so i can use the ipod as a wireless headset to watch tv

thought i'd share this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B489u_1ZBIA&feature=feedlik like him, i'm also surprised at how well the chassis of the iphone stays together and doesn't explode into nothing. can't wait to receive my 4s in the mail. :)

gotta give props to mtbmike777 over at overclock.net for starting the thread that led me to try this insane method. I had over 3 years of saved games on my 80gig ps3 that i did not back up (my own stupidity). The other day I went to turn on old faithful to stream some music while I had some...

**DELETE THREAD PLS** Wish I could edit the title. Went a different route after all. After some more reading on various forms and sources for a few hours this morning I am willing to try the Asus P8P67 Pro board. I have confidence in ++++.com and paid for expressRMA should this board decide...

i just installed these drivers earlier tonight and i gotta say that its been the best bc2 / gtx 580 experience i've had since i purchased this card. its as if the driver 'awakened' its potential in this game. i played MP all night, 1920 x 1200, everything high, 4xAA, 16xAF, HBAO on...

Who here jumps into the control panel as soon as you install new drivers to change the texture filtering option to 'high quality' from its default of 'quality'? I've been doing this for years now but I'm not sure why as I usually can't tell the difference. I also set Negative LOD bias to...

Just picked this up this morning but won't get to play it until tonight when I get off work. I've been a rock band freak since it debuted a few years ago and my buddies and I have had a blast building up our band to the 1,000,000,000 fan mark. We've jointly purchased approx 3-400 songs to keep...

Hey guys and girls, I have some extra money coming my way soon and I was thinking of upgrading my main gaming box. I'll be reusing quite a bit of the secondary and tertiary gear. My plan is to upgrade processor/mobo/ram/heatsink cooler for now. Maybe pick up an SSD later. Here are the...

I woke up this morning and checked my email. I received an email from club sli which I had signed up for a long time ago when I had an sli box. Other than the routine announcements they offered a free digital download of dark void, promo code was included in the email. It doesn't get stellar...

On dec 22/09 I wrote kbaccessories an email asking how much it would be to ship a ratpadz xt to Nova Scotia, Canada, as I wanted to take advantage of the $5 off sale. On their website it stated that shipping was free in North America but I wanted clarification anyway. I received an email...

I installed the windows 7 operating system a few months ago with whatever were the latest drivers at the time. I decided to update to the 196.21's that were released a few days ago. In the past, with windows vista and xp i would uninstall nvidia drivers from control panel, reboot into safe...

I've had my Auzentech prelude for about 7 months now. I like it, it sounds great but it has some annoying bugs that i can't seem to get comfortable accepting. It seems that most of these bugs are driver related and auzentech hasn't released a new driver since the RC 8. Is there another...

is there any negitive reason not to run 2x2 + 1x1 in my system for a grand total of 6gigs of memory? i had 2x1gb sticks of crucial ballistix tracers pc2-8500, then i changed os's to 64-bit vista and decided to get more ram. i bought 2x2gb ocz reaper pc2-8500. i popped em in the two empty ram...

Quick question for those who own a harmony remote. Can you set delays in the software to compensate for a rear projection tv warm up time before it attempts to change the input? My sony t.v. takes approx 15 seconds for the image to appear and the t.v. to come to life after I press the power...

Has anyone ever had to use PNY's warranty to rma one of their graphics cards? I was wondering because i found a sweet deal on a PNY 9800gtx XLR8. Their warranty length is 3 years plus 2 additional years after your register it on their site. Any horror stories or the opposite welcome.

Can anyone else that owns this combination comment on how snuggly the optical cable provided by auzentech fits into the pod of the z-5500's. Mine is super loose, to the point where I'm worried that it will fall out from vibration. This may or may not be tied to a certain minor issue im having...

Anyone got any tips? I have the G9 with the braided cord and it seems kind stiff. It hooks on the sharp edges of my desk some times. i put some tape on the rough/sharp part of my desk and used a self adhesive cable tie to guide the mouse wire. still, because its so stiff it gives me some...

Can someone who owns a G9 look on the bottom of their precision grip (the narrow one) and tell me if there is a mouse foot on it. Mine only has two screws and an indentation where a mouse foot should/could have been stuck on. or maybe it doesn't need a foot there cuz its narrower. i dunno.

whats the best way to set up and run pc2-1066 ram with an o/c of about 3.2ghz on a q6600 chip? right now im running my q6600 @ 3.2 by decreasing the multi to 8x and increasing FSB to 400, my ram is running at 800mhz but is rated for 1066. <--I'd like to o/c to about 3.2 but have my ram...

Can most 8800gts's be overclocked to EVGA's superclocked or BFG branded OC speeds? I just picked up an EVGA 8800gts 640mb 500mhz core 1600mhz mem card and would like to go at least to 575 core, 1700 mem. it seems from what I have seen that many many people have these cards running much faster...

I just purchased an EVGA 8800gts 640mb card. Directly afterwards I went onto the EVGA forums which i frequent quite often and was disturbed to see a thread referring to bsod and crashes while playing BF2142. http://www.evga.com/community/messageboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30453 It seems like a...

Since installing my new arctic cooler 64 cpu cooler the temp difference between the two cores of my fx-60 are about 5C at idle. this prompted me to check very closely the contact that the cooler was making with the heat spreader and reapply some tim (as5), no difference. could it be the...
