I rebooted my computer and the artifacts went away and then I ran 3dmark05 and it didnt cause any artifacts but I scored a 5035 which seems low. I averaged like 14, 21, and then 2 fps (cpu tests) on the tests and when I built this computer a year ago I dont remember getting that low of fps. On...

I havent OC'd it but it came from the factory OC'd. It didnt use to do it but started some what recently. After I restart it works fine for a while. I checked and it says its running at 73C. http://www.bfgtech.com/6800GTOC.html

I have dots or lines or something on my screen. This usually happens after awhile or I log on to my computer the second or third time in a day or switch accounts. Sometimes moving around a window will erase the little green things sometimes not. Right now its only on my desktop but it will be on...

Nobody?

First can I plug two monitors into my BFG 6800gt (vga and dvi) and have them both run at the same time? Second I need a good LCD monitor that does 1600x1200. Not planning on using it for gaming since I'll still have my CRT on the desk, and I really am not gaming much these days anyway. The only...

Parents want to know what I want for Christmas and this is the only idea I have so far. Can anyone refer me to another forum somewhere that is more audio visual type stuff than the computer stuff here? Otherwise I am thinking I'd like it to have: 1. 8+ inch screen 2. component outputs 3...

Any idea on where you saw it? I like to have a copy of games here at school because I reformat sometimes but I dont want all my real games here incase they get stolen.

I have the 6 cd version of ut2k4 (5 install 1 play) can I copy them all onto 1 dvd? I am guessing that I have to do some special copying because I doubt it will just let me make a copy. And I really do own this game, I am not into warez or anything. If someone knows another forum maybe that is...

Ok thanks for the link. The only thing I am unsure of is the motherboard chipset drivers. Think those are on one of his resource cd's?

I just got finished building my computer so I am aware of what to do, but with a Dell and all the parts arent known do you guys just use the system disk? Would it be smart to use the XP cd that came with it or could I use a pro cd? A friend has been having problems so he called the Dell...

Ding ding ding...winner! Ya it was just the raid bios I disabled it in the real BIOS and now it wont bug me. Thanks

Great thanks for the help guys, Im going to start on it now. BTW thanks for the guide mechBgon I used it to build the computer.

What do you suggest I load and in what order? Do I need to update BIOS and such? Nvidia drivers, windows update, FIREWALL, memtest or other programs to diagnois and run a home built computer. Last time with this computer I apparently did it in the wrong order because now I have viruses and all...

Well I started on my first build today and everything seemed to go well until I tested it and I saw the error that said BIOS not installed. (Out of case with no HDD's) I figured oh well and just put it in the case hook up all the little things and the HDD's (1 SATA and 1 IDE) and still it says...

I got norton and it found a few trojan's and stuff, it took care of them but now when I start my computer it says cant find spvool32.exe or something which norton said was a virus so I think there is still something in my registry telling my computer to load the virus. How do I fix this?
