    Software to change brightness/color on monitor?

    Can anyone recommend software that I can use to change the hardware color (RGB) and brightness on my LCD monitor? Hopefully one that has a taskbar icon so its easy to change between different profiles. Right now I need to manually go through the monitor settings to change them every morning...

    Intel Burn Test + Prime95 = Error?

    So what you guys are teasing me about (but never saying explicitly) is that my computer SHOULD fail if I run both prime95 and intelBurnTest simultaneously?

    Intel Burn Test + Prime95 = Error?

    Either my motherboard or RAM is bad. My store warranty is almost out. If I don't RMA either soon I will have to ship them back to the manufacturer which is a major hassle.... If I can get the RAM stable at lower settings I will be pretty sure the RAM is the problem (yes I've tried memtest!)...

    Intel Burn Test + Prime95 = Error?

    Yep stock settings. I have also tried running things lower than stock... MadScientist, I'm not sure how your post is related to the original question...? It would be awesome if somebody with a stable system could run prime95 and intelburntest simultaneously and tell me if it works for them :)

    Intel Burn Test + Prime95 = Error?

    I'm troubleshooting my system. I seem to have got it so it can run Prime95 without errors and IntelBurnTest without errors when I run them separately, but when I run them simultaneously IntelBurnTest always fails on the second pass (regardless of any bios settings I make). Can anybody run...

    *The Official 22? Chi Mei 6-bit TN Panel Thread*

    When I received this monitor I noticed the colors words as good as my viesonic pf775, but I wouldn't call it terrible. I never noticed the blockiness or banding. I don't suppose there could be some way we could compare?

    I'm a bit behind on CPU information.

    Actually, the 4000+ runs at 2400Mhz which makes everything work out okay.
