    Single 5770 only running at x8

    Just built a new computer, and I after having a lot of fun messing around with my CPU, I found out that my Radeon HD 5770 is running at PCI-Express 2.0x8 instead of x16. This is confirmed by both the information in my Catalyst 10.1 drivers and in CPU-Z; the link width is only x8 and the max...

    Vista x64 Mouse Acceleration

    With Windows XP and Windows XP x64, I was able to use the "CPL Mouse Fix" which to my understanding editing the registry file and took out mouse acceleration. I loved no acceleration and grew very accustomed to it not being there. I think Vista handles mouse acceleration in a different way...

    Winamp Volume Issue

    Whenever I change the volume of Winamp, the volume of my Ventrilo (for example) also changes in proportion to the adjustment in Winamp. If no music is playing when I change the volume, nothing changes in Ventrilo, but the second I hit play the adjustment is immediately made to my Ventrilo. This...

    Router Problem?

    I get back home from college, and my father informs me that he lost internet a week ago. He "fixed" the problem by taking the router out of the equation and connecting right to the cable modem. Problem solved. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as "the router is broken." I tried a different...

    Core 2 Duo Build Help

    This will be my second build. My original budget was around $1300, maximum $1500, but I think I am choosing parts that will send me over my budget :P This machine will be used for pretty much everything, but I am a gamer first and foremost. I plan on overclocking. I am kind of out of the loop...

    Thought my PSU was dead, but oddly enough...

    I originally posted this, but after trying my power supply in my friend's computer we found that it still worked. I guess that leaves the motherboard. There are no signs of damage, and I was just curious what the problem could be. Is there anything I can do/test?

    Signs of a dying PSU?

    I was watching a movie on my PC, when my screen went black. About a second after the screen goes black, the rest of my computer shuts off. Whenever I try to start my computer back up, the fans and lights inside my case come on for about 1 to 1.5 seconds, and then shut right back down again. I...

    512mb vs 256mb

    I was curious how much of a performance increase there is going from a 256mb video card to a 512mb video card (gaming performance). Also, there is a small selection of 512mb cards, will this change in the next few months to come?

    Brightness/Gamma problems when watching videos

    Whenever I watch a movie on my computer (I've used both Winamp and WMP) the brightness or gamma (or both, I'm not really sure) gets really high, and it's blinding. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my video drivers multiple times, and it does not help. The strange part about this is that when I...

    Altec Lansing AHS-502 Microphone Issues

    I purchased my AHS-502 headset almost a year ago at a best buy, and I have never really trusted headset to begin with. Naturally, I bought the $10 warranty dealie that Best Buy offers. Good thing I did. A few months after the purchase, the mic just stopped working. I took it in, and they...
