    Gtx 670 rsod

    Well I contacted ASUS asking for a full refund and they were not able to do that. They did say they will cross ship me a new card though and send prepaid shipping for my return. I am just wondering what to do now because I don't think the new card is going to fix my issue. It seems the RSOD...

    Gtx 670 rsod

    Well I finally got my RMA card today and popped it in. First thing to note, the part where you screw it into the chassis to secure it in place was bent to all hell. I cant even screw it into place in its current position. I put the PC on its side and just to test it out, loaded up latest...

    Gtx 670 rsod

    I am pretty sure that the card has to be bad. I have since, in reinstalled windows three times to have a clean start. I am installing nothing more than base drivers for my system. Windows works and loads fine every single time until I load the Nvidia display driver. I have tried both 301.25...

    Gtx 670 rsod

    Hi all, I recently hit the rsod on my 670. I am not sure why it started as I have not changed anything on my system. What is happening is immediately upon starting windows, right before the login screen, I get the RSOD. I cannot even log into windows (only safemode). I have been...

    New rig begins to post then continually resets, code 19

    Thanks. I will probably have to call them tomorrow then, I can't download and install the bios because the board won't post so I cannot access the flash updater.

    New rig begins to post then continually resets, code 19

    Thanks, I tried putting one at a time into bank A2 and its still doing the exact same thing. Not sure how to find the BIOS version but I did see a sticker on the board that said P1.30-15B. Is that the version?

    Hi all, I am building my new computer and running into some problems. I didn't get my new PSU in the mail yet so I am using my old one (Thermaltake Toughpower 750w). I so far have only these 4 things plugged in: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 ASUS...

    How does this system look?

    Just noticed that the HDD recommended is a 3.0Gb/s drive. Any reason to choose this over a 6.0Gb/s one like I had originally picked? ie Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARX 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive for $120

    How does this system look?

    Nope, gonna switch the memory now too. There was a combo deal on newegg I was going to take advantage of, the PSU listed and the memory listed in my original post for $180 with 20 mail in rebate (so 160). The PSU and memory recommended by the other poster were $110 for the XFX and the memory...

    How does this system look?

    Thanks for the suggestions lehtv, I will probably leave my original choice for SSD (because I am buying it from a friend for cheap), memory and OS though. Everything else you suggested I will change. How about this for the MoBo then? ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s...

    Stupid windows and its security. Its not copying any of the files over saying i dont have permission even though i changed the ownership of the folder to my username. I dont want to go file by file and change the permissions. That seems to be the only way that it copies though. If I go to...

    downgrade dx11 to 9c

    Yes I have tried it on compatibility mode and it gave me the same problems. Its FFXIV beta and apparently will only run on dx 9.0c. I know that this is the problem I just need to know how to get rid of dx11 and go back to 9.0c. Thanks.

    downgrade dx11 to 9c

    Hello, I am having problems with playing a game and the work around for this is that I need dx9.0c. I currently have 11 installed on my x64 win7 system. Is there anyway to downgrade to 9.0c? I tried running the installer (dx9.0c-redist and web installer for 9.0c). Neither of which worked...

    HTPC vs PS3

    LMFAO, damn unicorns! I did read the posts correctly but doing some research on stand alones by reading reviews on amazon and newegg as well as cnet proved that i would have to spend more money than the cost of a PS3 to get a good one. That samsung one that was recommend got terrible reviews...

    HTPC vs PS3

    Hey all, wanted some opinions on which route I should go. Right now my main reason for getting either of these is for blu ray. I know that there are far more possibilities with a HTPC such as streaming, DVR, etc. Just seems so much easier to spend the 300 for the PS3 and be done with it...

    exos 2 cooling system replacement parts

    yea i did contact them and they got back to me saying that the pump is dicontinued. He said my only option now is to just buy a seperate external pump and only use the exos 2 system for its radiator. Thats kind of crappy, I think im just going back to air and maybe ill sell/salvage the rest.

    exos 2 cooling system replacement parts

    yea the pumps are sealed inside of the reservoir, i cant get them out. I tested the voltage coming into them though and it is showing 12v so, I think the pumps are fried. Looks like I might just be going back to an air setup if I cant buy this replacement tank + pump for my exos 2 unit.

    exos 2 cooling system replacement parts

    Yea i already checked the sight and they have all of these replacement parts for the exos 2 system, yet for some unimaginable reason, they dont sell the replacement pump. I checked the fluid level it was low initially, that is why i powered it off immediately when i heard the grinding and...

    Yea, I definitely need the remote, i was being so careful to not move the camera when i was doing long exposure and there is just no way not to make it move ever so slightly. Got any recommendations? :)
