    Red screen on post, on everything

    I'm having an issue with my desktop screen stuck all red. I have a Ga-p55a-ud3 and ati radeon 5850. Now I have two of these cards and I have tried both separately so it's not my gpu. I also purchased a brand new dvi cable, still red screen. My monitors own menu items all come up in full color...

    Wake from sleep freak out....

    I have over clocked my i7 860 to 4.01ghz using this guide http://www.techreaction.net/2010/09/07/3-step-overclocking-guide-lynnfield/ I have tried all stability testing (prime95 etc) and it seems to be solid. But when the computer sleeps, it won't wake correctly and I have to hard reboot...

    LCD monitors and screen tearing

    I wanted to ask you guys about this since allot of people post allot of garbage when it comes to LCD's and CRT's and gaming. Now I started gaming way back and I still play Q3 Arena (ancient I know) But the very first thing I noticed when finally switching to CRT was screen tearing. Now some...

    i7 860 high temps :(

    I bought a corsair h50 cooler ages ago and I finally got round to having a go at overclocking my rig. I am reading all the info I can find, and I'm following this guide... http://www.overclockers.com/3-step-guide-overclock-core-i3-i5-i7/ ...but when I even start to apply the voltages he...

    What could be causing my rig to HANG?

    Nothing new on this rig since I built it a year ago. I mean I have had the usual BFBC2 wig outs but last few months has been solid. But for the game to just up and reboot the system seems like hardware to me. Just not sure what it is. I mean the PSU I have is supposedly more than sufficient for...

    What could be causing my rig to HANG?

    Well ok, here is the boinc client running (sorry for the crap pic quality) This (if you can see from the CCC) puts gpu pretty much under full load. I never O.C but I use the overdrive feature just to ramp up the FAN, as for some reason AMD let it run at 86c, the default never ramps fan up much...

    What could be causing my rig to HANG?

    Hi, I have twice now woke up to find my PC in a 'hard hang' which is, you sometimes cannot even reboot by holding down the power button. I was number crunching with my GPU (milkyway@home) ATi Radeon 5850 each time this happened. I play allot of games on high settings and it never gives me...

    Mac or PC

    I myself really enjoy the MAC OS for day to day crap. So I run a fully funcional Hacintosh. It's a PC that I put together solely to dual boot Snow Leopard and Windows 7 ultimate. I use W7 strictly for gaming, and the HAC for everyday computing.

    Strange goings on with my rig!

    My computer is acting a little wierd, I built it about 6 months ago and used all new parts. First off, I'm a gamer and I have noticed a drop in my mouse sensitivity from time to time (for no reason at all) and I have to compensate in game by raising the sensitivity. But when it miraculously...
