    Vid card died, looking for upgrade advice

    Ok, got the card today. It has a separate connection for power, with two plugs (one for each 12v rail I assume). My power supply has a dedicated plug for pci-e. Show I use that or use the one that hooks up to two different rails?

    Vid card died, looking for upgrade advice

    The evga one isnt OC'd nearly as much. I guess I could do it myself, but not only do I run the risk of messing something up (which may or may not matter with the warranty), the OC'd evga in anandtechs test barely matched the 600/1600 anyway. Both have a lifetime warranty it seems. What are...

    12x10LCD is a set of resolutions on LCD monitors I assume? Don't have an LCD yet, just an old 17" CRT. I don't even know what the maximum resolution is. If I just went with a lower range card and more ram, would the 3000+ I have now be a bottleneck at all?

    Options for laptop car chargers?

    6600GT 95* core temp?

    6600GT 95* core temp?

    I havent checked what this card was doing lately (it used to hit ~80 IIRC with 3dmark and the like), but something about eve online (when the lights pan up and down in a station) really kicks this cards ass. It was hitting 95 over and over, but in game was ~75. I thought this high of a temp...

    Odd problem with text disappearing, cant open task manager

    I guess I could have elaborated on kaspersky not finding anything. I ran like 10 virus scans in the past week. I did the online microsoft one, the online kaspersky one, another online one from a thread here, etc. If it was a virus, its something that was very very well hidden. Another forum...

    Outlook Sent items contains emails that were...

    If he was sending it himself, why ask you about it? Something is sending it I suspect, but like I said I have no direct knowledge of it, and if it leaves things behind in sent items its pretty crappy malware. Who knows.

    Some ISPs are marking my email as SPAM

    If you've actually been placed on a black list, someone should get an email detailing what needs to be done to remove you. Either yourself or the recipient. It could also be domain blocking for something like att not having reverse dns set up (not saying thats the case, but who knows). Have your...
