Hi Gang,
I recently had some black screens followed by a crash during gaming with a PowerColor HD 7870 PCS+ Vortex II. I was playing FarCry 3 for the first time and this crash occurred within 10 minutes. I tried a few more times and the game will always black screen, and in fact the black...
Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to enable the "high" or "very high" settings in Dragon Age 2 while running Windows XP (DX9)? If not - how about some guidance in editing the config file? I have searched for a description of the config file contents but havent been able to find anything...
Hi Guru's....
I have a couple of questions regarding a PSU that may not be putting out enough amps on the 12v rails. Here is my setup (yeah I know the PSU is undersized for this rig, but I just bought in 3 weeks ago and want to be sure that it's the problem before buying a better one!)...

Hello All,
I have determined that I have a faulty harddrive in my computer. I found another spare harddrive that I used to replace the faulty one. Unfortunately, I do not have an original bootable Windows XP CD, but I was able to hook up both HDD's and install a clean copy of Windows on the...
Hi All,
I have come accross a bit of a strange situation (to me at least!) while overclocking my rig. First, let me give quick system specs:
CPU: Opteron 170 (Sorry, I never wrote down the stepping and I can't take off my HSF to look at stepping cause I'm outta thermal paste!)
CPU...

Looking for a backlit keyboard where the keys can actually be seen in the dark (with the monitor on, of course!). I have a blue Saitek version I and the keys are not evenly lit. Good luck trying to see the far left and far right keys at night. From reading reviews it seems the Saitek II...
I have an Athlon 64 3200+ in my machine right now with the stock HS and Fan. I just bought a used Opteron 170 and am wondering if the HS/Fan I have is the same that would come with a retail Opty anyway?
I have been looking into a low cost dual core processor to upgrade from my single core 939 processor in my Asus A8R32-MVP deluxe mobo. I dont want to drop a lot of $$ into this old technology, but the socket 939 x2's are WAY more expensive than socket AM2 x2's. I thought I read somewhere that...
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there will be issues trying to use the nVidia 8800GT PCIe card in a "Crossfire Ready" mobo - the Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe? And how about running SLI in this mobo - is it possible??
THANKS!!

Hi all,
I have an older mobo (Epox 8k7a) that does not have USB2.0 support. Last night I hooked up a USB2.0 4 port hub and everything worked fine, but I gat a message that said Hi Speed USB2.0 may be achieved with the addition of a controller card? My question is - does adding a PCI Hi...
Hi all,
I am running out of ideas here!
The HDD detects in BIOS just fine, but it detets it at ATA33 right from the BIOS - I was able to tell this when booting from the WinXP CD for installation.
I tried 2 different 80 wire cables, both gave the same result.
Here are some system...
Noob Question -
I have an older 40GB HD with Win 2000 as the OS. I just bought a new 80GB HD that I am going to install Win XP on. Will I be able to slave the old Win 2000 HD and copy files from it while booting into XP as the Master Drive? I am not sure if I need dual booting software when...
Bought Brothers in Arms PC game a few weeks ago, but just noticed its DVD only! Did a little checking and there are no plans to release it on CD. So.... I'm looking into a DVD rom drive to be used 99% for gaming only. I dont need a burner. Any suggestions in the $25-$30 range? I have seen...

Just wondering if it is necessary to completely re-install windows when upgrading a CPU only. I have an EpoX 8k7a mobo and I'm upgrading from an old Athlon 1.2 Ghz to a mobile xp 2400. I know the mobo doesnt "officially" support this CPU, but I have read a ton of posts on this and I am willing...
