    Losing video card signal when playing games

    Could someone recommend a good power supply to use with that case? I've never swapped out a power supply before, what do I need to know?

    Losing video card signal when playing games

    I can solve most general computer screw ups on my own, but this one is a real noodle scratcher, guys. When I say losing video card signal I mean that when I try to play most games my monitor goes NO SIGNAL RGB STUFF forcing me to restart. The sound will also die/loop. I had the problem on an old...

    Processor Sounds Coming Through Speakers

    Do processors even make sounds? Anyway, this is the problem: Whenever I do anything; cilck, drag, open My Computer, scroll a webpage using the wheelmouse, the sound of things being processed come through my Z640 speakers. Just little tiny dots of sound, depending on the action. The half...

    Damn, didn't realize the socket differences. And yes, I'll be sticking with the 6600 GT and switching to a HDD with an 8MB buffer. Thanks for the help, guys!

    Really low end video card suggestions

    I'm mostly concerned about a playable framerate. It won't stay fun for long if it's a tough task to cast a healing spell in the middle of a battle. Anyway, what's a good place to buy used cards?

    Really low end video card suggestions

    Jawsome, thanks for the replies. Next I just need to get her some more RAM and she'll be on her way to becoming a hardcore gamer.

    Really low end video card suggestions

    I have a Radeon 9800 Pro, and WoW runs great on that, obviously. But my girlfriend who is not a gamer but is addicted to WoW at the moment only has a Geforce 2 MX (400 I believe). What would be a good cheap upgrade? I'm talking $40-$70 range. Something capable of running the game at somewhere...

    Logitech Z-640

    I just recieved my Logitech Z-640s ordered from Overstock.com, and the box included the 5 speakers plus subwoofer and nothing else. My rear speakers are barely audible, probably due to the fact that I don't have a manual to show me how to hook anything up. Is there a PDF or anything that I...

    First Time Building Computer *UPDATE* - Which Screws To Use?

    But is the heatsink supposed to touch the processor right off the bat? The cam lever is in the "loose" position when I'm dropping the heatsink into place, and still, the heatsink stops moving downward once the clips hit the lugs, still a bit away from the processor. It says to press the clip...

    First Time Building Computer *UPDATE* - Which Screws To Use?

    My original post was me asking how to fit the A64 Heatsink over the retention frame. Thanks for the help! Now, my case arrived and I'm not sure which screws I'm supposed to use to screw in the motherboard. The manual tells me to use "the provided Phillips-head screws." Lovely, however, there...

    Hey dudes, I read this website regularly, and I thought I'd ask the experts for some advice. I've picked out my parts, mostly based on the most recent "budget gaming guide" from Anandtech, and I'm wondering if this will be all I need. http://secure.newegg.com/app/WishR.asp?ID=1037259 I do have...
