I flashed to the 4.40 bios on my x370 Taichi and now when I try to set P0 to custom it resets to auto after saving and rebooting. Also, the core boost disable resets to auto also. This with an 1800x. Prior with 3.2 bios trying to set P0 resulted in no post and having to reset cmos. This is my...

I'm selling two Gigabyte 290x video cards. I've owned them since new, never mined or overclocked (over factory settings). I've run them as an X-fire pair. Would like to sell as a pair but will separate. Asking $275 ea. shipped USPS priority mail 2nd day, US48. PayPal only. Here is a link to...

I bought an Acer laptop for my daughter for Christmas running Win 8.1. I can't get it to back up to the server. It shows multiple failures most days, and when I try a manual it tries but after several minutes it reports failure. I have 5 PCs backing up to WHS with no problems except this new...

I've put my pair of 290s I used in a X-fire setup for just over a year up for sale. Bought both new and they've been perfect the entire time I've had them. All the accessories are included, I never even opened that part of the box except to take the sale picture. Free priority shipping USPS...

I thought this looked like a good price for a 30" IPS. I use ZR24w monitors myself and am happy with them. Maybe this will work with the 10% off mentioned in the other thread. http://www.directron.com/vm617a8.html

Picked up the MSI Gaming GTX 780 on the Newegg sale a couple weeks ago. Works well and is quiet in everything so far including BF 4 and Dishonored, but when the kids fire up Sims 3 it whines very loudly. I guess this is my first experience with coil whine. Is it common that coil whine only...

I installed a new GTX 780 video card in my PC to replace my AMD HD 7950. Uninstalled all the AMD drivers using Control Panel in Windows before physically removing the card. Installed the NVidia card and installed the drivers. Everything seemed fine. Today the PC hangs at the loading screen...

I'm considering a 1000W power supply since I now have 2 R9 290s in Xfire on my current PCP&C Quad Red 750 (60A). I saw the EVGA SuperNova 1000 G2 for a decent price ($159 AR) at Newegg, and the ratings are good but there are several complaints of failures. At least it has a 10 year warranty...

I got the Sapphire R9 290 over a month ago and on Friday got the second one for Xfire. I'm using GPU-Z to track clocks and temps. I found that watching TV in Xfire in Media Center runs the primary card at max memory and GPU clock and quickly maxes out the temp in the 90's while speeding up the...

My wife spilled a glass of water on her Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop while it was running. She turned it upside down but it died and won't start. I opened it up for 24 hours and only found moisture under the outside of the keyboard, nothing in the MB area. After reassembly it still won't start...

Because Windows 8 discussions never get old...but this is interesting especially the part about the lack of use of Metro apps on touch screen devices. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2039445/and-the-study-says-windows-8-users-rarely-touch-metro-apps.html#tk.nl_pcwbest

Got a second HD 7950 card for X-fire so I don't need the second promo. I have the unredeemed code and I'd like to sell it to one buyer. Heat: http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=67468 Ebay: http://myworld.ebay.com/dirkbg Asking $50 Paypal.

Got the Crysis 3 Origin code from AMD last night. Don't think I want to play this one. Asking $40 through Paypal. Sold...

Looks like they are matching the Sandisk drive price. I didn't see this listed on the BF ads though. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167127 They also list the 180gb version for $99 matching the MC in-store deal, but now showing OOS on that one.

I got a Corsair Nova V128 Refurb over a year ago and ran it on my laptop just fine until a month or so ago when it just disappeared from the system. Took it out and tried connecting to my desktop in an external case and it's still not detected. I think this uses an Indilinx controller, and...

I like W7 Media Center, but it doesn't like my current setup. I recently got my third monitor (HP ZZR2440w, two ZR24W), but found that the one that must use displayport cannot show high def due to HDCP protection failure. Actually, that's been bugging me for over a year when I just used...

Hope someone can help me. I ordered the HP ZR2440w from Macmall last night before their $50 mail-in rebate deal expired. I forgot to get the rebate form after I ordered, so I looked on their site and there's no mention of it anywhere in their rebate lists. Chat with customer service and they...

I've been using a Hauppauge WinTV HVR 1600 pci in my pc for years with both analog cable in and antenna in for over the air HD. I'm getting tired of the limited cable channels in SD since I'm running straight cable (Time Warner) without a box. I'm thinking of getting the Silicon Dust HD...

I've been using dual screens for awhile, and this black box is always on the second (extended) display in the upper middle of the screen: http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2422/boxwx.jpg It isn't selectable, nor does it come through when windows are run over it. It just looks like a black...

Just noticed this on Amazon and found it interesting the physical disk version is cheaper than many of the Russian key sites listed elsewhere. The cheap one lists from GeeksWholesaler (never heard of them but they are rated well)...

So I got that refurbished Corsair Nova 128 SSD for my 3 year old Dell 1520 laptop. This laptop uses an Intel Mobile 965 chipset, and ACHI is enabled. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and it's patched up. But when I try to install the latest Intel Rapid Storage Driver (ver 10.6.0.1002) it...

I currently have an HP ZR24W as my primary monitor. I also set up my previous Sceptre 24" monitor (TN) next to it for occasional eyefinity use. But, eyefinity isn't great for two monitors because the split in the middle of the viewing area. I can't get another Sceptre unless I get lucky on...

I currently have two Samsung Ecogreen F2 HD 103SI (1 TB) drives http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152173&nm_mc=EMC-EXPRESS043011&cm_mmc=EMC-EXPRESS043011-_-EMC-043011-Index-_-index-_-22152173 in my WHS 2011 set up in a mirror. To increase my space, I was thinking of...

I just completed a fresh Windows 7 install with my P8P67 Pro MB and 2600k processor. I'm using the same 5850 video card. I'm pretty sure the last drivers I used (11.2) let me select GPU Scaling and Maintain Aspect Ratio. I installed the 11.3 with the rebuild, and while I can select Enable GPU...

I'm considering an SSD for upcoming Sandy Bridge build and I want a larger SSD than 128 GB. So the 160 and 180 GB drives strike a balance between size and cost. In that class the OCZ drives dominate, but there are two versions that are similarly priced but look identical in specs and...

With the high cost of SSDs, I'm looking at the MC open box 64GB drives for $80. I'm pretty comfortable getting them because they have the balance of the 3 year warranty from original purchase date. I can put two into Raid for about 111GB total space, but that's still a bit small for me to...

When I get my replacement P8P67 Pro MB, I'm going to install an X-Fi Titanium Champion with a fresh Win 7 install. Usually, I install hardware like video cards with the latest driver available online rather than the drivers on the disk. But, if I recall in the past my X-Fi Platinum had to...

I've been using WHS v1 for almost two years and it's been fine. I upgraded the hardware about six months ago anticipating Vail, but now it sounds like it may not be what it was anticipated to be. I also have Server 2008 R2 and some have gone to that instead. Since my knowledge of servers is...

Can you run 6 independent montitors with two ATI or NVidia cards? Not looking for 3D or gaming, just individual screens.

With my 2311 being delayed until July, I'm looking closer at the NEC 2470WNX refurb mentioned in the Hot Deals section. I really like the 16:10 of the NEC. I'm unsure of the quality differences between them. I have a 24"TN screen now, and I'm tired of the color shifting among other things...

I'm planning on changing my WHS MB and CPU, and while I'm at it the system HD. I currently have a 160GB IDE system drive and two 1TB data drives at 44% full each. I want to get a new SATA system drive since the 160GB drive is old, as is the system board. I want a system that's 64-bit...

Just upgraded the family computer last weekend that was using these parts. Ran perfectly fine with Win 7 x64, and I bought all the parts new. AMD Opteron 185 - $150 USPS Priority Flat Rate Shipping $13 - $163 total. Retail box with unused fan and sticker. Socket 939. I ran it at...

I noticed an odd issue with my Technet subscription. There are new Office 2007 uploads, and when I downloaded them I noticed my keys for Office Professional were gone. Actually, there is now one key where I used to have ten keys, and it's the same key as the Office Enterprise 2007. I still...

$299, Instant $10 off, use code VGA161302 for $20 off = $269 shipped. Says Dirt 2 included in this one. Good until 1/31.

As I mentioned in a previous message, I couldn't get my 5750 to post on my kid's computer. So I installed it in mine and it worked fine. I use 2 4850s in crossfire, X38 MB and e8400 with Win 7. While I had it in there, I decided to benchmark it compared to my 4850s. I only tried Crysis (ver...

This has me baffled. Got an XFX 5750 for my kid's computer. It's an Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe MB with an Opteron 185, and an Antec 650w Truepower Trio power supply. It currently uses an HD 3870. So I installed the 5750 when I got it last week (and I did hook up the 6-pin PCIE power connector)...

I'm going to upgrade the CPU on my Dell 8600. How do you access the CPU? Are there any links to how it's done? Or do you just unscrew the entire bottom of the laptop? Any tips are appreciated.

I just set up a home network using Windows Home Server. Since I have a Technet subscription, is it worth using MS forefront on the server to get antivirus protection on the server? Or, is that too complicated to consider. I assume it will work with WHS since it says it works on Server 2003.

I'm running Vista x64. Can I add a spare HD, disconnect my Vista drive, install Win 7 RC on the spare HD, reconnect both drives, then select the boot drive from bios without the two OS's messing with each other? Otherwise, I'll physically connect and disconnect each when I want to switch.
