    What could be causing my rig to HANG?

    I had this issue when I updated to cat 11.2. Sometimes reboot other times hard hang and I would need to switch PC off first. I was pretty sure my PC was dying (CPU is overclocked for last 4 years) Problem was it wouldn't happen when I ran stress test like Prime. A rollback to the previous...

    Win 7 Pro Dual Boot/Virtualization question

    Hi all, I essentially need a second instance of the OS on which I can install various applications for testing purposes and I don't want to mess with my primary install. Is it legal to dual boot or run a virtual machine with the same license of the OS? Any thoughts would be appreciated. G

    New AMD Catalyst 11.2 drivers available

    You could try using RadeonPro to set individual profiles. I've not had a chance to test with the new drivers (last I installed was 10.4 ) but I don't imagine there will be issues.

    New AMD Catalyst 11.2 drivers available

    Does anyone here make use of the Image Scaling? I can't seem to get it to use 'Maintain Aspect Ratio'. The last driver I used was 10.4. If I set the screen resolution lower than the monitor default I could make this selection and it would keep the setting when reverting back to the preferred...

    Anything more comfortable than Logitech MX510?

    Agreed. Bearing the above in mind I recently picked up a Razer Imperator. I was surprised at how good a fit the mouse was for me (coming from an MX1000). Good luck.

    where did the scaling option go for Nvidia??

    You may not need to lower you res every time. With ATI you lower the res to get the scaling option selected. Once you return to your native res the option is greyed out but still active. That is of course only useful if you always want scaling enable.

    SATA and AHCI Confusion

    I had this issue back in 2007. At the time I could not find a way to Enable AHCI without re-installing windows. I ended up sticking with the IDE. I also don't believe that there was any noticeable performance difference between the two modes but that may have changed with newer drives ...

    Nvidia fan regrets ATI purchase

    Some people have issues with Catalyst AI although I've never come across any myself. I only upgrade my drivers every 3 months or so but have yet to have any driver issues with my HD5850. In fact I can't recall the last time I had a show stopping bug with either nVidia or ATI.

    Do ATI 5000 Series recover from sleep well?

    No problems running a HD5850 on Win7 64bit. I don't recall ever having issues with sleep and video with Vista and Win 7. My sound card on the other hand did not like when I was on Vista.

    Anti-aliasing vs Anisotropic filtering

    AF is my preference if I have to choose but a I'll take a combination of AA/AF if the performance is acceptable.

    nVidia's GPU killing driver

    I always thought that the BIOS would override any driver specific fan settings if the GPU got too hot. On my previous card this seemed to be the case when setting a manual fan speed ...
