I think your right about calling insight, but it's so weird, this never happened until I got my upgrade. I remember trying without the router with the same results I believe but I didn't take to long testing it. Also, I know its not the server because this consistantly happens on every server...

I know this doesn't belong in this forum, but I could not figure out where to put this. Lately while playing counter-strike I'll receive BIG packet loss. Well It used to just occur during the uptimes of night time however, lately it has been occuring in times when I doubt a lot of people are...

Sorry I planned on reformatting in about 15 mins and just wanted to make sure that it's ok to use my Old recovery discs from my old computer. Remember I updated my mobo, and vc since my old comp. Thanks for all the help so far

EDIT:: Sorry double post

So you do think I could reformat with the Recovery discs I got with no problems? This is reallly worrying me

Thanks for the info so far I do plan on reformatting soon. About that sticker, I still have the license number on the back of my old computer, but I was only given reformat discs not Windows Xp discs. I doubt this would work using an old reformat discs that probably are no longer compatible...

For some reason I have been getting bad cpu performance in almost all my games, slow boot up times, and slow loading times. It might be because the guy that installed my new hardware did not REFORMAT when I told him to do so. Reason he might not of is because my copy of Windows Xp came with my...

Well one of my friends gave me an S Video Cable for free. I noticed on my TV next to my computer that there is no plug on it but there is on on my dvd player. So, I thought sweet, it should work. Well after connecting my video card to my dvd player with the cable I couldn't figure out how to...

What router would you recommend I get? We called the isp and they said it's probably the router so I plan buying a new just need your input on a good one.

I have a cable connection, and a Giga fast ethernet router.

Now I know they don't make routers specifically for gaming so, I was wondering which router would be good for gaming. The reason I want one is because lately I have been getting packet loss while playing counter-strike, I try to adjust my rates etc etc and nothing seems to fix it. I really...

Thank you for the help so far, he just said I can get console games. Any idea's for the xboX? :D thanks again!

Well, my friend's store is going out of business and he said I can get first dibs on a lot of the games he sells at his store. I basically have no clue on what to get, the games I can get are PC only. The games I already have are: cod, wc3 and wc3x, counter-strike, battlefield 1942, sc and bw...

My PNY Verto 5900NU has been getting around 50 degrees celsius while im playing games. Just wondering if that is considered overheating? Right now on the temperature control thing it says the core is 47 and the Ambient temperature is 37. Normal or do I need to get a new fan?

What exactly does this do? What should it be on, and if it's turned off will it increase performance any?
