I just got my tuner in the mail, and for reasons I cant figure out, I get no display from the computer with the tuner installed. It doesnt matter what PCI express slot it goes in, none of them change anything. I tried with both the onboard video and my gpu, which both display fine without the...

I knew that there were driver troubles with this card when i got it but i suppose i severely underestimated the extent of the issue. It shows up as "High Definition Audio Device" no matter what drivers I try to install. Creative support has been worthless. I feel like ive tried everything to...

I have an i5 2500k, cooled with the Antec Kuhler H2O 620, and for some reason there is a huge discrepancy between idle temperatures and load temperatures. Its around 35C idling, and around 60C under load. Ive checked the mounting and i even reapplied different thermal paste but no dice. Could it...

So my friend dropped her netbook yesterday, and brought it to me to fix it, so im giving it my best shot. ive verified that it actually does boot, everything is fine except the display. Its not cracked, but the picture is completely scrambled, rainbow, black and white vertical lines. I tore it...

Ive had my xps 17 for a month or two now and im really happy with it, but lately ive been having a problem where when i go to turn it on (does matter if its sleeping, or totally powered off), the power turns on, i can hear the fans spin up, and it stays like this for a second or two, then shuts...

I just recieved an HDMI to DVI adapter to connect my samsung 226bw to my laptop, which only has an hdmi port. I cant get the laptop however to recognize that theres a 2nd display attached, is there anything i can do to get it to recognize it?

So i fairly recently (about a month ago) received my dell xps l702x, and i couldnt be happier with it. But recently, when gaming (pretty much all i play is Battlefield BC2), ill randomly get black partial or full flickering on the screen. Its kind of worry some, and i cant recall if this started...

So my boyfriend just recieved his lenovo ideapad y470 laptop, and seems to be having some performance issues. It has an i5 at 2.3ghz, an nvidia 555m, 4gb of ram, so youd think itd be fine, but when he tries to play games such as battlefield bad company two, he lags horrendously even with all...

Im not very experienced in the laptop front, but im in the market for a new laptop, as im heading off to college. It needs to be 1000 or under, i might be able to stretch a little to 1050 or 1100 if i must. Im looking for something pretty powerful because it has to last me at least 4 years. I...

So i have three questions. 1. Whats a safe max temperature for the i5 2500k? Ive been out of the loop for a bit and it seems to be idling around 40, goes up to 60 ish while playing css.. 2. Are LGA 775 coolers compatible with socket 1155? 3. My overclock doesnt seem to be showing up in...

Whats the best cpu/motherboard combination for~ 200$ no more than 250? I feel like its time to upgrade but I've been out of that loop for a while. I have limited knowledge of current stuff. Thanks in advance :D

Didnt know whether to put this in the audio or the apple forum, but when i hook my logitech z-2300s up to my powerbook g4, i get absolutely no bass coming from the subwoofer. Is there any way to fix this? I know the set works fine, i get full bass from my ipod, and my desktop (which recently...

So, long story short, my dad didnt have his system plugged into a surge protector, and they had an electrical storm, fortunately the only thing (that i know of so far) thats fried, is his external drive. The thing all his photos (hes a photographer, thus, theyre really important to him) are on...

It seems no matter what cpu I use, i can never achieve the results people are commonly supposed to be able to get with those processors. I always end up having a ceiling that i feel is a bit on the low side, none of my parts are cheap by any standard, but i always seem to have to put stupid...

Just recently got my zune 30gb back from my brother, who had been borrowing it because his ipod was stolen at college. My zune 120gb was acting up, but it wasnt a harddrive issue, so i thought hey why not perform surgery, so i transplanted the 120gb's harddrive into the 30gb hard drive, but for...

I have a pc, running windows 7, and a powerbook g4 aluminum running os x 10.5.8, and i followed the guide on gizmodo for getting your mac and pc to share together via a homegroup. It worked all fine and dandy for the the first day or so, but ever since, sometimes the shared folders show up...

I have a friend whos interested in getting a new powersupply. They currently have 3 hard drives (two raptors) and theyre soon adding a forth. they also have a 9600gt, which they eventually plan on upgrading (to whatever is near top of the line about a year from now) and a Q6600. Theyre...

I have an old voodoo 3 2000 that has a decent amount of what looks like old dried up nasty thermal adhesive on the gpu itself, because i managed to get the heatsink off, as it wasnt even close to adequate (i got the card second hand for almost nothing). My question is, whats the best thing...

Thread title pretty much explains it all lol, i dont really have a need to max every game out, im just wondering with games advancing how they are currently, how long my HD 3870 will hold out, i like to play at least on medium settings at 1680x1050.

Ive had my MSI P35 Neo2 fr for quite a while, its a great board in my opinion, and i got a decent deal on it, ive never had any problems with it until now. I have been having problems with almost all my other devices on usb locking up when i transfer files to a flash drive or to my zune, or...

Have any of you tried this ? I find it a great alternative for those who dont have a console, its a little bit of a pain to set up but once you get it working its just as good as playing it on a console.

I got this monitor debranded and refurbished from buy.com a month ago for 140 $, and I love It. The specs say it is only capable of 1680x1050 res, which is perfectly fine and matches the res of my main monitor. But in windows, when using HDMI, i can set it to do 1080p. It doesnt look quite...

Is it possible to use my vista disc, which is the OEM system builder disc, with the vista key that comes with a laptop, or do i need to get special disks from HP ?

So i got a new zune 120gb for xmas, and i love it, but theres a slight problem. The battery indicator isnt accurate at all. the indicator will show about a third or a little more of the battery used and then a few minutes later it shuts off with the flashing no battery indicator. Is there...

What is the best basic keyboard (dont need the media buttons etc) under 50 $ in terms of durability, low noise etc. I dont want anything ergonomic etc, just a basic keyboard that has good response, low noise and wont wear out quickly. Thanks

I bought an FX 5700 ultra about a month and a half ago directly from evga through the b-stock program because it was cheap and I needed a video card for my agp rig that could handle some older games. I got it, and about half a week in it started having problems. I sent it back to Evga for RMA...

Is it possible to track a biostar rma ?, i sent a board in but i have found no where to track the progress or anything like this. Is it possible to do so ?

Im considering doing the pencil mod on my hd 3870. Its already overclocked to the max without extra voltage. i know there are risks involved, but im willing to take them. Does anyone have any experience with this ? What kind of results should i expect ?

I needed a 3d card for my backup pc, and since evga had a b-stock sale, I picked up a 5700 ultra for 20$. The problem is, its horrible at doing pretty much anything besides web browsing. I wasn't expecting miracles when i bought it, but i should at least be able to handle source, right ...

Its evgas 9 year anniversary and they are having a b stock sale. There are a couple things worth lookin at in my opinion. Promo Code: ILOVEEVGA for 10$ off. They have some tuners (20 $ after promo), agp 7800gs for 90$ after promo and 8800 gts, gt's and other stuff. some decent deals...

I went back to staples to get the pny 8 gb flash drive, and while i was there i looked at the 9500 gt again. Staples had it for 149.99 (fail core=550mhz memory= 512mb 128bit ram at 1800mhz. 1400mhz shader clock

I went into staples today while my parents were making copies, and i saw that there was a pny 9500gt on the racks. I have never heard of the 9500 gt, when did that come out. Am i just totally clueless ? Some of the reviews say its not even supposed to be out yet.

Ok, i have the MSI p35 neo2 FR, which is known for double booting, and for some reason, it double boots all the time. It only used to do this when the power supply had been turned off or unplugged. Now it does it everytime i try to turn the computer on. Its just a nuisance. It just randomly...

I got my dremel at the beginning of january, and i didnt use it much until now. The problem is that when i turn the speed dial up to or near 10, it just cuts out, and wont turn back on until it put it all the way down to zero and then turn it back on. It doesnt mater what im doing with it...

Ok, I was playing counterstrike source, when my pc froze, because of a slightly unstable overclock (only freezes like once a week.). I rebooted to discover that I have no internet. I checked the wired internet, its good, checked the router, its fine. In the hardware devices menu under the...

I just couldnt resist the 130 $ hd3870 at BB, anyway. On my original 3870, i have the accelero s1, and on the other, there's a zerotherm cooler that came with it, i have one xfire bridge, and its fine being connected, no problems, but i think i need a second. Crysis, with crossfire enabled gets...

I just notice that my hd 3870 (with AC accelero ) is idleing at 60 degrees celcius. This just started happening. should i reseat the HS or...

Looking for something a little better than my scythe ninja. Its starting to show its age. I am considering the TRUE-120, but i was also wondering about the IFX-14, and the scythe ninja copper. I have about 110$ to spend, so money really isnt too big of an object. I would preferably like to stick...

I have a lot of questions, and am a noob in this area so help would be appreciated. TECs(peltier ?).... Are they worth it, are they safe, is it even worth investing in one, can i use it with a standard air cooler, or do i need a water cooling setup, how are they powered, do i need a...
