If this has been discussed I apologize, but after a search of the forums I couldn't find my issue. I've had my Nvidia GTX580 for quite some time now, but the periodic crashes I'm getting have finally led me to ask for help. During the middle of gameplay the computer will crash to a uniform...

Well, the first person you must always rely on is yourself. I'm fixed and Windows 8 Release Preview is working WONDERFULLY on this "old" system. The issue turned out that I did not in fact have the very latest BIOS update to my motherboard. I was at F11 and there was one newer version at...

Well I guess my long hopefully detailed post wasn't clear to you? First of all, I did try to install using a different operating system (Win7) as was described in my post. It really shouldn't matter the video card as it doesn't even get far enough to load the manufacturer's drivers. Plus...

Howdy! First off, I searched the threads to see if anyone has had my issue without much luck....so I'm throwing this out there because I'm just not smart enough to figure this out.... I've got an older computer that I've put into service as a HTPC. I've been using it more, and I wanted to...

Well. I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I went to a System Restore point and now it's working again. This is the second time this has happened to me in the last month. I sure wish I knew either what was causing it, and then how to fix it without restoring. Cyk

Hello. I have Win 7 Ultimate. I recently had some networking issues that I resolved and everything connects great. But now when I try to setup my network printer on my main PC I can't even see the Devices and Printers section. I just get the green bar......and nothing. When I go to make a...

OK!!!! You were right. In my haste I had 4 DIMMS of memory still in their slots. I took them all out, then put one back in bank 1. It fired right up! So now I'm going to start adding my normal peripherals and see where this goes. To be continued.... Cyk

*sigh* Installing new peripherals can be very irksome. I have an older (but still fairly powerful) PC that used to be my gaming rig. I've converted it to become my new HTPC and have connected to my Sharp 70" LED 3-D TV. Everythign was working GREAT. Then I installed a new Samsung Blu-Ray...

Hey All, My particular ROG laptop came with a single 500GB harddrive, so I always had plans to purchase an SSD seperately put a fresh install on it to get away from the bloatware and then reinstall and reformat the original 500GB drive. So I watched a VERY helpfull video on youtube on how to...

Hopefully someone here has tried this.....I'm normally a PC gamer, but I picked up an xbox 360 fairly cheap and I wanted to us my HP ZR30W monitor as the display. This monitor is great, but doesn't have many video outputs. My DVI port is used by my PC running at 2560X1600 resolution. I have...

I think you are correct Sir. Thus my frustration at Apple! I was hoping that out there somewhere was a pin conversion adapter so that I could at least play music with my older (but still very functional) sound system. I'm not asking for full charging capabilities or anything, just play...

First off, I am NOT an Apple guy. But my wife still uses her first generation iPod nano 4GB ( and to be honest it still works just like it did new ). I have a 5th generation iPod nano. We have one of those portable sound systems with an iPod mini dock, which the 1st gen is completely...

*cries* Oh well. I had read the reviews, and even Anand states that using OCZ is a crapshoot at times. I'd hoped this 3rd generation of drives would be more stable. This was my first build with SSD. I'm going to RMA, and try again. If it happens a second time I'm going to demand my...

I'm sorry. I don't understand what you mean by GG If we were playing an online game I'd think Good Game.... Cyk
