I have a Microsoft Surface Book that has to be about 5 years old at this point. It has been acting very sluggish lately so I decided that I would start fresh and do a wipe recovery. Well, lo and behold the recovery said it "failed and nothing was changed". That isn't the case because now the C...

What are your recommendations with these requirements? I'd prefer a thin bezel if possible as I think I will be getting 2 of these and maybe some multi-monitor gaming. I always read about 3 monitor setups but I assume 2 works just as well? I'd also like it to have an HDMI input so that I...

I know, I know, wireless is evil, but for my next build it is a necessity. Are there any good backlit, bluetooth, mechanical, keyboards that are good for gaming (besides the input lag)? I see some websites refer to the Cyborg v.7 and the Logitech G510 as wireless but then other sites say...

I think I may be going in the direction of an SFF setup now that I believe my system will pull double duty as an HTPC and a gaming machine. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc HTPC, Video Encoding, Winamp/Milkdrop, 1080p, gaming, browsing, etc.. 2)...

It's been at least 5 years since I've built my own rig and I think the time is nigh to get back into what I love. This years tax return is going to be for building a mid to high end gaming HTPC. Here is what I currently have on the wishlist, are there any known incompatibilities with this...

This has been driving me up a wall for a few years now, no matter the 2 different houses I've lived in and just about any router I've had. I've had signal issues, this is with multiple network adapters, laptops, cell phones etc... Currently I just moved into a 2650sqft house and have my router...

What would be the best motherboard (price around $300) would be best for a Q9300 chip? I need to have SLI and onboard RAID if possible. A friend of mine is giving me alot of extra parts, all I need is a motherboard/case/psu. I currently have a Q9300, 9800 GX2, hard drives, DVD, heatsink...

I just got a Gateway GM5632e and tried to install a 8800gt in it. Now the PC turns on, the fans start up for about 5 seconds and then it turns off. No beeps, the only thing I can get the PC to do is make a beeping noise if the power isn't plugged into the 8800gt, or the fans will not even start...

Any idea why using a DVI to HDMI cable from my PC to my Samsung HLS-6187W, if I switch inputs and go back to the HDMI I get no video until I disconnect and reconnect the cable to the tv? If I turn the TV off and turn it back on the PC will not send out a video signal until the PC is rebooted...

From looking at reviews and documentation I am supposed to have the option of Dolby Digital Live and many other options but when I open the Intel Audio Studio software the only options I get are "Inactive" and "PCM Stereo". Is this a chipset problem or is there some software update I can...

I just received this PC for christmas and was just wondering if there is anyway possible to overclock it? I can't find any advanced options in the motherboard, I didn't expect too being a crappy gateway proprietary POS, but Im just itching to find some way even if its a volt-mod since it has a...

I just got my system up and running and wanted to do some overclocking tests. I changed the FSB to 220, booted and it still said I was running a 3500+, I changed to 240, still nothing. I booted into windows and it still reads as 2.2ghz. Is there something setting like the HTT bus I need to...

Im building a new system in preparation for HL2/CSS/Doom3/Farcry and most importantly World of Warcraft. Ive got the system almost complete and Im wanting to go 100% wireless with no speakers for a really clean looking setup (using a sff case, wireless keyboard and mouse also). I love audio...

I just upgraded from a Asus A7N8X DLX rev 1.4 since it didn't work over 12.5 multi or 195 fsb so I was stuck at 2438 mhz. Im already running 225x11.5 with this Abit at 1.85v (undervolts to 1.82). Was wondering if 1.9v or 2.0v would be safe to try and get 2650 or 2700mhz out of this chip? Old...

Does anyone know when manufacturers will start to carry this besides Dell? Im ready to buy and after seeing the benchmarks of the 9800 vs the 9700 I just cant justify getting a 9700 right now. Im pretty set on the Sager 4750 A64 3400+, 1gb, 60gb 7200rpm, 17" laptop. The second sager begins to...

I don't have much experience with post processing DVDs, but from what I've read in a few forums ffdshow is the best/fastest one around. I used http://htpcnews.com/main.php?id=ffdshowdvd_1 as a guide to setting up ffdshow. The only option I have turned on is the same denoise settings shown in...

Just finished my HTPC and got everything setup and running perfectly. Here comes the pics NOT 56K safe! http://mywebpages.comcast.net/hayrab/htpc.jpg http://mywebpages.comcast.net/hayrab/ut2k4.jpg http://mywebpages.comcast.net/hayrab/lmainandsub.jpg...

For those using HTPC's I stumbled upon a great site for information on setting up PC games for use with widescreen HDTV displays. http://www.tigerdave.com/wgl/ Here is a shot of Unreal Tournament 2K4 at 1920x1080 on my 57" hitachi. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/hayrab/ut2k4.jpg

Im sure this has been beat to death already but does anyone have any new information/benchmarks/screenshots on these cards? Im thinking of upgrading for D3/HL2. Any pictures or theoretical specs comparisons between the 2 would be welcome also. I was a die hard nvidia fan until the 9700 came...

I just replaced my locked 2500 barton with a 2600M and so far the best I've able to attain is 2438mhz 195x12.5. I've read about alot of users having trouble with the rev 1.xx boards getting over 195fsb but never of having a problem with multipliers over 12.5. Anytime I change the multiplier...
