    Mouse Movement Reduces Framerates

    Problem solved. Can't believe I didn't think of this.... X-Fire was causing the problems. Updated automatically today and problem was solved. Should have thought to close all my background programs done. Rookie mistake, doh! Thanks though for all of your help guys.

    Mouse Movement Reduces Framerates

    I was originally using microsoft's drivers. After coming across this problem, I downloaded Razer's Diamondback software/drivers. That didn't help the problem, so reverted back to the microsoft drivers.

    Mouse Movement Reduces Framerates

    I removed one of the video cards to see if that would make a difference. I still have the same problem there. I have also ran disk cleanup, then scandisk thorough option, and then defrag. That doesn't help. Checked out the Event Viewer in the Administration tools. Found problems with...

    Mouse Movement Reduces Framerates

    While I test out the PSU unit, can anyone think of any other reason it would be doing this? I put the computer together in February this year and things were going great. Also if I disabled SLI mode, it didn't make a difference. With the system above I would think 850W Thermaltake PSU unit...

    Mouse Movement Reduces Framerates

    I booted the computer normally and it froze. I restarted the computer and after that reset, the framerates on my system go down as soon as I move the mouse. I have updated to the latest drivers for the motherboard, video card, mouse, windows updates, etc. and it still affects the framerates. I...

    UNWANTED POP-UPS

    I have seen something similar happen before and I too thought it was spyware. However, I went to the control panel and then to "Add/Remove Software". After scrolling through the list, I noticed software installed that I did not remember installing. I would suggest scrolling through that list of...

    Random Lockup No Matter What I do

    I looked into the manual a little bit deeper and found a selection of SLI cards that were found to be compatible for running at "optimal performance". The GT series was listsed for the XFX cards, but my XT was not. Does anyone know if they are referring to cards that are connected via SLI or...

    Random Lockup No Matter What I do

    I will give that a shot too, however, it isn't the drive with the OS. Would this still cause the errors? ----------------------------------- On a side note, I have heard from a friend or two that the XFX 6800 card series could be casuing the problem. Is there truth to this statement anyone?

    Video card crashing when playing most games

    Do you have the latest drivers for it? Sometimes the video driver updates will fix certain bugs in games. I know NVidia driver updates do that.

    Sound card

    I am not sure, but I think since you have two sound devices, windows has it set to your onboard sound as the default output. I would just disable the onboard sound in the BIOS to avoid the problem.

    Brand New Computer = Lockups

    While waiting for replys, I was able to find some older RAM I had to test it out. Luckily I kept some from my older computer (333mhz instead of 400mhz). I booted up the system and I still get the same problems = lockup. So I would feel safe to assume it is not my new RAM that is bad. -...

    can't access certain sites on home pc

    Does she have Norton Internet Security on there? If so, try disabling it and seeing if she can visit those sites. Did you try reseting IE back to "default" settings? Download Firefox and see if she can access the sites from that browser. If so, then try doing resetting IE to default settings.

    Audio Problems

    Have you tried the latest drivers for your digital tv tuner? Do you have anything overclocked? Sometimes moving the card to another slot works too. You may want to try that.

    Possible video card problem (no image on boot up)

    Well an easy solution would be to get another video card and see what happens. It sounds like you are doing that, so when you get it installed, just see if you can see anything. If so, then your old card is probably the problem.

    Troubleshooting CD-ROM drive

    Sounds like it might be a hardware problem. You may, however, want to try updating the firmware on your drive. Some manufactures have updates for them. That could help you. Does it read and run pressed (normal) CD's? If you decided to get a DVD burner, you'll need to check with Toshiba to...
