    Energy problem with 560Ti?

    About 8 months ago I put together the following setup: Core i7 2600 (no overclock) 3x2Gb DDR3 MSI GTX 560Ti Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3 motherboard At the time I used a Corsair VX 550W PSU to power it. The reviews on this PSU were very good, and a lot of people suggested it was more than...

    Is a Corsair 550VX enough for this?

    These are the parts: Core i7 2600 Sandy Bridge 3x2GB RAM 1600Mhz MSI Geforce 560Ti 1 hard drive, 1 optical drive No overclock (other than the small OC that comes with the video card) Is a Corsair 550VX enough to run this? The video card says it only requires 500w, but I want to make sure.

    Flash player stopped working

    My flash player suddenly stopped working. Where it's supposed to be a flash thingy on a website, I only see a white box. If I right click this white box, I still get the Flash menu, and can even change some settings, but I can't get it to work. This is happening in all browsers I tried...

    Sapphire 4850 512MB stuck at PCI-e 1x

    Reseating the card put it back at 16x and game performance seems normal again, thanks! I'll probably get a new case though.. the place where you put the screw to hold the card is too wide, and doesn't hold it properly. Also, I may have done something stupid while reseating, and my PC...

    Sapphire 4850 512MB stuck at PCI-e 1x

    Ok, I've been having some performance issues at games, and now I noticed that my video card is stuck at PCI-e 1x, when it is supposed to be 16x. I checked both in GPU-Z and ATI Catalyst, and they both show it as 1x. I never checked this before, so I don't know if it was already like this when I...

    HD 4850 - slow 2D performance?

    My 8800GT recently died and I got a 4850 to replace it. I removed the nVidia drivers and ran Driver Sweeper before installing the ATI drivers. While performance in games seems fine, my 2D performance in regular desktop is terribly slow. Things like scrolling a web page, dragging a window and...

    Oblivion: I want mods!

    Natural Faces is awesome for faces. There's also a beauty pack for the Natural Faces addon, but I personally didn't like it (to me it looked like everyone was wearing lipstick and eye makeup, even the men). Also look for Exnem's female body replacer (has an underwear and a no-underwear...

    What I?ve learned about PC gamers (who aren?t me)

    I know how you feel.. my brother can't tell the difference between 10fps and 30fps, or between a game at max settings and lowest settings. Also, most of my friends and family don't notice flickering on their monitors.. Even in these forums you'll notice people that, for example, don't notice...

    Age of Conan Buddy Keys now available

    I got the email from Funcon, but I cancelled my subscription long ago, so I'm not sure if I'll have it.. Edit: Apparently I can still invite people.. if anyone wants it, send me a PM with your email. Be warned, though, the game sucks :/

    Anyone Holding onto their 8800GT

    Keeping my 8800GT as well, since it's still more than enough. Crysis is a sucky and short game. Play on mid settings if you have to, and get over it.

    The cdkey for D2+LoD is for sale at 9 dollars here: http://www.cdkey-store.com/diablo-2-cd-key-p-1.html I kinda feel like buying it, but I'm having a hard time justifying it to myself :P So, the point of multiplayer is to make uber characters? I know that playing by myself I burn out at...

    Yeah, Tyrael+Baal+Tal'Rasha will be awesome :D I just hope we actually get to fight big D.. can't have a game without him, right? Is he supposed to be destroyed or just banished back to hell? Another thing.. I saw someone comment on another forum that the barbarian looked old because he's...

    Poll: Razer Deathadder or Logitech G9

    I haven't used both so I won't vote, but I got the Deathadder a couple of weeks ago and it's awesome. It's size and shape is very similar to my previous mouse, so I already knew I would feel familiar with it. It looks and performs great, the rubberized thingy also feels very nice. My only...

    Which of these 8800GTs is the right card for me?

    You could get a Radeon 4850 for not much more. I don't think a 350W PSU could handle either of the cards though.. If you do decide for 8800GT, I personally prefer eVGA, but they're both good brands.

    Closing torrent programs kills my internet

    I've had this issue with 2 different computers (same router, though), and 3 different torrent programs (Azureus, Bit Comet and uTorrent). Whenever I close the program, my internet stops working and only comes back when I reset my router (which takes about a minute). Anyone had a similar issue...

    Lightweight cooler for E8400?

    I'm not worried about it being too heavy to move, I'm worried about the heatsink breaking down when I move it. Maybe I'm just being silly, since everyone uses these big heatsinks and I never heard about them falling down on the graphics card.. Anyway, RealTemp shows CoreTemp's temps minus 10...

    All kinds of problems with the GA-P35-DS3L Rev 2.0

    Sorry to hear that, I also got a GA-P35-DS3L 2.0 and E8400 from newegg and had no problems (didn't even need to update the BIOS, it recognized the CPU from the box), and the driver CD works too.. About the floppy light staying on.. did you connect the floppy power cable upside-down?

    Will 1 more gig be a good upgrade for me?

    Thanks for the answer :) I'm glad to hear it will be a good upgrade, because I already jumped on the oportunity. I won't be able to get a whole new computer anytime soon, so more RAM is pretty much the only upgrade I can get.

    What makes a video card die?
