Just bought an XPS 400 for my wife. TN had a tax-free weekend for back to school, so we picked up a Dell. Their prices are pretty reasonable. Anyways, I'm having issues with Oblivion hitching (see thread here ). Please read the thread thoroughly if you have any suggestions, as I've tried...

Anyone have any ideas? This is a new computer for my wife. I installed Prey, and it runs fine at highest settings. But Oblivion hitches like a bastard. Sometimes several times a second, never less than once every 2-3 seconds. Here's what we've tried: -getting rid of all the Dell bloatware...

I'm right now in the middle of a RMA with MSI. I'm seriously seriously pissed off. First, they refused to do an advance RMA, where I let them charge my credit card. Not every company does that, but it's great when they do. But, my mobo is crapped out on me, so I do it the old fashioned way...

Anyone have any tips? I played the game some "back in the day", and got the urge to fire it up again. I installed it, and all the patches in order. First I had to defrag to get the game to even start. Weird/sloppy programming from the developers I reckon. Then, it keeps loosing the...

Ok, lots of issues, and this has been an ongoing issue pretty much ever since I built the computer almost a year ago. System stats in sig. ISSUE 1: I can't run my ram, stock clocked at CAS 2 1T, at 1T. I have to bump it to 2T. If I don't do this, programs randomly crash with a "referenced...

I'm having trouble finding what I need. 6 buttons on the right side, start/select button, 2 top-left buttons, 2 top-right buttons, a directional pad and a thumb-joystick. Throttle and POV hat are optional :). The only one I've found with that is the Logitech Wingman Cordless Rumblepad (this...

Hi all. I put together a new system - main parts are msi neo2 plat, athlon xp 3500, and 2x512 corsair (can't remember the model name, but its the ones that come factory cas 2). Video card is my old one, a 9800 pro. For the hell of it (and since the recent drama) I decided to see how 3dmark05...

Ok, I get in all these shiny new parts to put together a semi-new rig: Neo2 Plat Athlon 3500+ Corsair 2x512 3200XLPT It won't boot. DLED gives 4 reds. I strip it down to just CPU, vid card, blank HD, and dvd-room (thinking my PSU might not have to push all my stuff - I'll get to that in...

Ok dok. Running WinXP SP 1, latest drivers for everything, latest non-beta bios (rev 1017), and I still can't get my USB gamepad to work. Here's the story: Everything was working fine, then slowly over the course of maybe 2-3 months, my gamepad started goofing up. Its the Logitech Wingman...

Ok, I have the Logitech Wingman cordless gamepad. I use it off and on, so its hard to pin-point exactly when I started having troubles with it. But a couple of months back, I bought the Logitech wireless MX duo. I'm pretty sure that before purchasing that, I didn't have this problem. The...

I'm looking to cool down my computer. Current temps are about 50 idle, 55 load. I'd like to get these down to 40 and 45, respectively. Here's a pic of the inside of my case: http://24.158.179.161/public/Wires/after/all.jpg First thing I did was clean up my wires. It was a real mess. As you...

After burning up a CPU, when I got my replacement in, I just put on the stock HSF with the thermal material. Well, summer has now hit, and I've noticed the temps going up some more. I was thinking of cleaning that old crap off, and dropping some Shin Etsu (I have some extra laying around) on...
