Tried that already =|. I dunno. It's sad because I've known him for a while and we've gamed a bunch before and he wanted to show me new pvp MMOs from there. Arghhh... so frustrating knowing that a mile down the road, my friend can view this site but I can't (different ISPs tho).

Hm, there's no way a website can pro-actively block me if they don't even know my isp/ip. Everyone else I know around the country from VA to Texas can access this website.

I live outside of Washington D.C. and I use Verizon FiOS. My roommate is a Korean who came to live with me and study at the local university. I don't have any complicated firewalls or nothing on my router that blocks specific ips or what not. However I just can't connect to this website...

Here's what I am going to / ended up doing: RMA my gtx260 completely format my main partition and reinstall everything

Ok, after reading a bit more about the downclocking issue, I did a sweep of all the drivers and installed the beta drivers from evga. The beta drivers did fix the solution for my earlier example (warcraft3) but I still chug/stutter in games like TF2 and CoD4 (although I'm 99.9% positive CoD4's...

I use onboard audio. I had heard about the downclocking issue but my evga precision tool never indicated such problems like downclocking.

I just played a 20 minute Warcraft 3 and my game lagged a bit but didn't crash. Than I watched a youtube video in full screen and my video died. I guess it IS a faulty vid card?

Ran furmark's stability test under 1680x1050 for 360 seconds and temps hovered around 82C. Is there any other way to see if it's a defective card? I've never received a defective vid card in my life so I dunno how to test it besides maybe playing games and seeing if it crashes?

I'm using the latest non-beta nvidia drivers and yes I did check my temps and in Warcraft3 (the game that my video shut down in) and they were around 70-80. Could a faulty video card fail under loads but work ok idle?

Hey everyone, I recently got an evga 260 superclocked edition from my lovely gf and I've been having some problems with my pc after installing it and I wanted to make sure it is or isnt my psu. I use the Seasonic 600W (link) and I think it's just too low or it's dying on me. In Windows...

any other suggestions? ;/

My evga 8800GT was actually purchased about a month ago. I use the latest non-beta Nvidia drivers. I also downloaded evga's precision tool to check my gpu temperatures. On idle, my gpu ran at 62C and in CoD it jumped to 70C. I think that's well within moderation. Also, although I had...

bump ;x

Hey everyone, When I play CoD4, the first 30seconds to a minute of gameplay is silky smooth running at constant 70-90 FPS. However, after a minute or so, the FPS (from cg_drawfps in console) turns to a red text and varies at 30-40. No matter what I do in the settings, the fps drops and...
