    Toshiba Notebook flashes white

    Alrighty, here's the deal. I have a Toshiba Satellite 1135-S155 whose LCD screen flashes white immediately upon powerup. Between flashes, you can see the background, but it would be enough to induce a seizure. The flash seems to come from the outside of the screen towards the center, but that...

    FEAR ending

    I'm not so sure, I like the multiplayer. You don't play it to "get good", like say in Counter Strike, you play it to have fun and laugh. It's extremely satisfying to scissor kick your opponent to death after he's emptied an entire clip at you. It's far better in LAN, where it's a bunch of...

    6800 + Call of Duty 2 = No good!

    I'm another case of crappy graphics, but still a good rig... AMD FX-53@2.5ghz Dual 6800Ultras Asus A8N SLI 1 gig GeIL Audigy 2 3dMark05: 10351 Russian campaign plays like a dream at max settings, 4xAA and everything, but as soon as I hit the Brits, there's a serious drop. The...

    Pink Flashing during Counter Strike

    Alrighty, here's the deal... When I boot up into any of the Steam games based on the new engine (CS:S, HL2, HL2 Deathmatch, etc..) as soon as I get to the menu (or any point where it's not loading something), five horizontal pink bars appear that cover the screen. They are either slightly...

    Major problems with new build: 3DMark and FarCry.

    Yeah, with ordinary Ethernet cable you can't do it, you need crossover, or you need a HUB and two E-Net cables (Cat-5)

    Boot Problem

    Alrighty, I've got a nifty little problem on my hands... When I start the computer, everything runs fine (BIOS is stable, all drives spin, power is fine) until I get to a screen where I should be able to select between Windows 2000 and Windows XP (since I like both). This is, as you may have...

    6800 Ultra Power Supply Issue

    Alright, well the rig is complete, and it works... barely lol! Actually, the other day, I just got an Nvidia error message saying that one of the GPUs weren't receiving enough power... slightly disturbing news :-( but I rewired my whole system, and I haven't gotten any more error messages, but...

    SLI and Windows 2000 professional

    Hey, does anyone know what the heck is up w/ Windows 2000 and SLI? I used to have the problem where the bottom 2/3 of my screen was white, and the top third was black... I just fixed that, but no games/programs are running SLI. I have enabled it in BIOS, and I am running the latest nVidia...

    Need Help ASAP Asus EN6800Ultra video display problems

    Hey everyone, my friend and I built my computer last night, and all was going well, it even booted up the first time we tried. Lady Luck seemed to be with me, however, our luck soon ran out after we installed all the drivers. We booted in SLI mode, with Win2K installed. BIOS said SLI was...

    Do I benefit from expensive RAM if I only run at Stock speeds

    well it depends really... if you only run things at stock settings, probably not, unless you game... if you play HL2 or UT 2K4 or other recent games like that, it would make a big difference, but if all you're using your computer for is Wolfenstein 3D and Word Processing (Or other business...

    6800 Ultra Power Supply Issue

    Alrighty, I was able to get my hands on some elusive Asus EN6800Ultras (yes, two) for my system, which should be listed in my sig, but in case it isn't, here we go: AMD FX-55 Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe 2x Asus EN6800Ultra (1 gig) GeIL 4000+ 550 watt power supply and some other stuff, mostly just...

    Dual PCI-E cards?

    My recommendation would be to get one card now, and if you like it, get another one later on when they get cheaper... I'd do the same thing, except I need my system now, or in the next couple of months, and there won't be any major price drops soon... Your best bet is probably the 6800GT, due to...

    6800GT Overclockability

    If I go H2O, and I probably will, I'll get dual Ultras the Dangerden NV-68 Waterblocks... they advertise "-30C on and Ultra at 475 mhz". Can anyone back this up? I've seen both good and bad reviews of this block, mostly good, but a few negative comments on the actual manufacturing quality of...

    6800GT Overclockability

    To all of you who already have 6800GTs (especially those with the PCI-Express models), how high can you overclock them using aircooling? watercooling? I have an unlimited budget, as I have been saving for four years, so I can just as easily go with the 6800 Ultras if that's easier... I did have...
