I recently got a radeon hd 6770 and installed 11.8 drivers with catalyst control center. I had an nvidia card prior to this, so this is my first time dealing with amd's stuff. About 1 minute after the desktop loads from booting up, my display will go black for about 1 second. It may not seem...

So I recently got the 32ld450 for monitor use and it has issues. The vertical viewing angles really suck. The blacks are washed out at any spot other than directly in front of my head, similar to what happens with the dell ultrasharp monitors, but without the purple/orange color. In addition to...

So after unsucessfully attempting to repair my klipsch promedia ultra subwoofer/amp, I bought a yamaha rx-v365 receiver and a bic v1020 subwoofer, retaining the klipsch speakers. Either something I bought is defective, or my expectation for what the bass would be like was way too high. I have...

What happened to the external enclosures (the x-craft series) that coolermaster made? I can't find them anywhere.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CZQxnx2vU4 Has anyone here tried this? I am thinking about buying a new set of circumaural headphones to try this out. Using vista's sound panel I can set the speaker configuration to 7.1 and then disable the front center channel. If it works well, it would...

Looking to get 2 sets of 800MHz 4GB (2 x 2GB) RAM for a total of 8GB and hopefully get some overclocking out of them on my p5b-e motherboard. I'm not so sure going for the ones that have rebates is such a good idea because of the volatility of the DRAM makers right now. I also don't like them to...

IE7 will delete everything but the cookies after I click Tools -> Delete Browsing History -> Delete all. I have to open up the temporary Internet files folder and manually delete them whenever I want to. Anyone know how to fix this?

I am using G3 Torrent to download a large file which I'm halfway through. The program is very buggy and I want to switch to a better program (probably utorrent), but I don't know what that would do to the file I'm downloading. Will switching to a new program restart the torrent and erase or...

Are there any reviews that pit 8GB of memory against 4GB or 2GB? I couldn't find a single one on the dozens of hardware tech sites in existance. And before anyone says it, yes, I know that most applications and games are 32 bit and can't utilize more than 2GB on windows. Even 64 bit programs...

I need to get my power strip off the floor and away from my precious leg space. Has anyone seen under-the-desk mounts/holders for power strips?

I'm thinking about getting two 2x2GB sticks for a total of 8GB now that RAM is super cheap. However a lot of boards with Intel's p965 chipset only officially suppport 8GB at 533 or 667 MHz. Asus mentions this in their manuals-- I don't know if other manufacturers do. Has anyone gotten 8GB to run...

Does anyone else have a problem with the nvidia driver installation not finding and uninstalling previously loaded drivers?

Microsoft doesn't supply mpeg2 codecs for vista business for some reason, but does for home premium and ultimate. I have both business and home premium on two different computers. Is it possible to copy and use the codecs with windows media player on vista business?

I've been tasked with building and hosting a very basic website for a relative of mine. Just html and maybe an ftp site. I don't know what program I'm going to use to build it, probably some free WYSIWYG html editor. Are there any catches with using Linux or Microsoft for hosting? Which one do...

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936686/ Just found this KB article after digging through Microsoft's site. Anyone want to test it out? I don't have access to my vista machine at the moment. We really need a better way of finding KB articles and hotfixes. Using search to find what your...

Is the format option on the vista dvd is a quick format? The reason I ask is because I just used the format option on the dvd and it was completed in a couple seconds. If I recall correctly, a full format usually takes an hour or two. How do you do a full reformat that erases everything with a...

I'm running vista 64 and about twice a week or so certain programs just won't open. Usually after a restart they will work fine. The only program that I have installed is adobe reader, and I have indexing, uac, and defender disabled. Did a virus scan-- nothing. Think this a bug with vista. Does...

I posted this message a couple days ago, but all the posts seemed from that time period seem to have disappeared, so I'll ask it again. I'm using a klipsch promedia ultra 5.1 system and the motherboard's built in ADI1988 chip. When I listen to CD's or any stereo media, only the front left and...

I think $80 is too much for the stands that klipsch sells for the promedia ultras. Are there any cheaper stands that are compatible with these speakers?

I might order a 2gb kit of crucial ballistix 6400 (BL2KIT12864AA804) memory. It is rated at 2.2v, but how far can this memory go at lower voltage, like 1.8 or 1.9 volts and at cas 5?

When someone says that they overclock a processor at stock voltages, does that mean they set the vcore to stock in the bios or does it mean the vcore is at the stock voltage after compensating for vdroop while running under load in the operating system?

I am beginning to overclock my system (everything but the video card) and was wondering how long you need to run orthos for the lower overclocks and also for a final stability test at the maximum oc point? I've tried some software overclocking tools already and didn't like them too much...

I'm running vista business 64 on a machine that uses a Gigabyte GN-WP01GS wireless pci adapter to connect to my router. Windows firewall is disabled. For the first couple hours after I installed it, I was getting around 150 KB/sec, which is about right for my connection. Then the throughput...

OK, I have come across 3 methods to disable driver signing with the bcdedit program on various websites: bcdedit.exe /set testsigning on/off bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks on/off bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS What are the differences between them and which one...

Installing vista 64 bit business on a new build. I have an asus drw-1814blt sata dvd-rw drive. After the language selection part, a message pops up saying "a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing" and then asks me to install them. I downloaded the driver program from the asus website...

Just completed my new build. I have a revision 1.02g board with the latest bios. Is it possible to change the time in the bios to a 12 hour format? Is there any way to set the memory command rate? Don't see an option for it. Also, has anyone got the CPR bios recovery feature to work? I set the...

I'm in the process of building my new computer right now, and I don't know which way to connect the the system power led, hdd led, system speaker, reset and power switch connectors to the motherboard. My motherboard and case manuals (p5b-e and lian-li pc7b plus) don't say. Do the negative and/or...

I am about to build my new pc w/ vista in a few days and I plan on using a usb flash drive instead of a floppy drive. It's a raid setup and I am going to load the Intel Matrix Storage Manager raid drivers onto the usb key via the "c:\iata_enu.exe -a -a -pc:\<path>" method mentioned in the...

Is there a performance hit when using PAE compared to running the same amount of memory on 64bit OS?

Finally got my vp2030b lcd after waiting almost two months for it to ship from dell and have mixed feelings about it. This is my first LCD. My previous monitor was an old, cheap 16" Dell CRT. There is noticeable banding with gradients, not much blue color space, and the colors are washed out...

I downloaded IE7 and one thing that's annoying me are the website icons that are displayed in the address bar before the url and also on the tabs. Does anyone know how to disable these?

For $125 at newegg. I'd like to see how these perform compared to the a8v-e.

Here and here.

Saw this on anandtech's forum. Damn :(. I was about to get a DP930SB too.

I'm running xp home sp2 on a 4 year old Barracuda ATA IV model ST340016A. Everything is up to date. After looking in the event viewer in admin tools I noticed that there were errors being generated under disk and ntfs at every startup.... The Disk error shows this: The device...

Swiftech has a new pump out that has 3/8" barbs, weighs 207 grams, uses 8.3 watts, and has 13 ft of head. Now, I don't know much about hydraulics, but the discharge seems pretty low @ 92 gph compared to their older pump which is 317 gph. The MCP650, by comparison, has 1/2" barbs, weighs 650...

Saw over at tom's that Asus is releasing a new bios for the P5AD2 and P5GD2 that can use the PRB of the p4 550 and 560 to set the multiplier at 14. :) The article also says that they expect other manufacturers to add this feature in a few weeks. :D

Newegg has oem ATI x800xt pci-express cards which you can buy for.... get ready....700 FREAKING DOLLARS! :mad: Hell, these aren't platinum edition either. They are also selling Connect3d x800xt's for $580. Why ATI's card is $120 more boggles my mind.
