    No Signal

    My computer has been working fine up till recently when I turned it on and got a message on my monitor saying "no signal detected" or something like that. I disconnected the DVI cable and reconnected it and still got that signal. So I used the DVI to VGA adapter for my video card and tried it...

    EVGA Vista Drivers

    I am running Vista and recently got an EVGA 8800 GTS. I went to install the drivers but it brings up a pop up saying the disc is only compatible with XP. Do I need to download drivers for Vista online? I won't be able to go online till Friday is the problem.

    It All Works

    I just finished putting together my parts and booted up and everything is working just great. OS installed and everything. All I gotta say is I'm never ever buying pre built again, it was well worth my time building myself. Thanks for all the help, AT.

    No Thermal Paste

    I'm building my computer right now, don't the retail CPU's come with the paste? I don't have any in my packaging.

    Just Finished Ordering Parts

    I've been picking up parts for a few months and finally purchased my final products. I'd never do it this way again with what happened to me on RAM prices. I figured it'd be easier on the wallet. But anyway, here's my new rig: Antec P180 Gigabyte DS3 Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 EVGA 8800 GTS...

    Looking for a Motherboard

    I'm looking to buy a motherboard and was wondering what you all would recommend. Is going with an SLI board even worth it when you really doubt you'll ever go the SLI route? I've got an 8800 GTS. This after using a 2002 Dell Dimension with integrated graphics for several years. I think I'll be...

    HX 620 or 520?

    I'm currently building a system right now, I've got an 8800 GTS (640MB). Buy.com has the 520 for $90 shipped AR and the 620 for $130 shipped AR. Will the 520 be fine for the GTS? If so, is it future proof? I don't want to get it if it's only going to last me a year or so.

    Any GeForce 8800 Series Price Cuts?

    I've decided to go ahead and spring on the 8800 GTS (640MB). My only question is if any price cuts are expected within the next month? With the new cards coming out.

    Should I Spring?

    I have been thinking of getting the 8600 Ultra, but from what I've been hearing is if I want to play games at high settings with my 1680 X 1050 monitor then I'd probably need the GTS? I know for like $150 more I can get the 640 MB version and for $100 on top of that I can go all the way and get...

    Need a Headset

    Looking to buy a headset, the reason I'd like a headset instead of just headphones and a USB mic is because I'll be doing online chatting and would prefer to just have the mic right there. I'm looking at the $50 - $75 price range. But I'll be willing to go up to $100 shipped if the quality is...

    PC Problems

    My families 4 year old Dell Dimension has had some tough times lately, and now the PC powers up, but we aren't getting any video signal, the monitor vga cable is plugged in, so it's not that. Is the video card dead then? I'm not even sure if it's a card or integrated graphics, I'll have to open...

    X-Fi Platinum

    It's down to $81 after a $100 MIR (ouch!). I'm no audiophile, so I'm not certain what all the specs mean. I have the Logitech X-230 speakers, and my guess is this card would be overkill for my setup? But for this price is it ok to buy more than I really need? I also got my speakers for free...

    Logitech MX610

    I noticed that Radio Shack has it for $10 after a $50 rebate. I currently have an LX5 mouse, and it's ok but very basic and small. Is the MX610 a worthy upgrade for $10? I'm not going to use this for gaming, just general use. I plan on getting a G5 or 7 later on.

    PSU

    Not a question of how do you like my parts, I'm just curious what kind of wattage I should look for in my PSU. Gigabyte S3 LGA 775 Intel Mobo XFX Geforce 7950 GT Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Azio Usb 2.0 Card Reader Corsair XMS 2GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320 GB HDD Sony Double Layer 16X...

    Should I bite?

    I'm in the process of building my first rig. I noticed Newegg has 2GB Corsair XMS memory for $196 after a $40 MIR with free shipping. Should I bite now or pass it up and see if any better deals come along? I'm 16 and I'm using money I've made from working this past year, so money is somewhat...
