    Weird FPS Stuttering: Best way to test Mobo or PSU

    Just started my main troubleshooting last night. Swapped out the PSU, same issue. Then swapped out the amd 7850 for my nvidia 465 gtx, same issue. I am going to try running these same 4 graphics card/PSU combinations on my older s775/P35/ddr2 board over this weekend. If they all run fine...

    Weird FPS Stuttering: Best way to test Mobo or PSU

    CPU temps are completely fine, I do not see any throttling when I watch CPUZ while running 3d applications. I have disabled Turbo Boost and SpeedStep in my BIOS. Thank you

    Passing HDMI video through AV receiver disables computer sound

    I am having an issue with my monitor configuration that I suspect to be either a DRM encryption (Microsoft PlayReady?) or video/audio encoding issue.. I turn on my computer, play an MP3, and physically disconnect all my displays so that I only have my GPU outputting (HDMI out) directly to my...

    Cannot have Dual Screen & HDMI Sound at the same time...?

    No matter what configuration that I do--either by making use of my onboard Intel HD Graphics & Audio, my last NVIDIA GTX 465 card that processed audio, or my new AMD 6950--I cannot have both of my monitors running with sound processing via the HDMI input to my AV receiver (Pioneer VSX520)...

    Trouble outputting HDMI sound/video from Graphics Card through Receiver to Monitor

    Found out what the issue was! ..And it only cost an entire night and a head full of sanity. This is not a OS-level issue. It involves tricking your motherboard into thinking it's running iGPU graphics to HDTV. BIOS SETTINGS: If you are like me, then your primary display/graphics init...
