I just setup my new PC, installed the drivers, set up the HD Audio Manager to 5.1 Speakers, set up th speakers and everything... and this is where the problems start. With my old soundblaster live, when I set it to 5.1 and listened to music, I'd get sound from all 5 speakers + my sub. Now I...

I've been getting disc read errors and there. I recently bought my console (August 29th).. Has anybody gone through the warranty procedure with Microsoft? Do they need the receipt (I cant find mine :(). Any help is appreciated.... PS - Posting without googling, gotta pick up the girlfriend.

I've had this mouse since Xmas time and recently I've noticed that the mousewheel doesn't register a roll. I can roll it up or down and usually it will work, but sometimes one of the 'notches' doesn't register. Anybody else have problems like this?

Hey guys.. I've been playing and loving this game, but for some reason, I have a random crash to desktop. There is no rhyme or reason to it crashing. I can play and it'll just randomly crash. Sometimes right when I load up the game, sometimes when I'm saving, or when I'm running around. I'm...

Hi guys, I've been enjoying my Xbox 360 for about a month now, but there is a slight problem that is really getting on my nerves now. Any game that I play, except for DOA4, little bits of the screen are cut off on the sides. This goes for PGR3, Condemned, and NFS:MW. I'm using the HD cables...

Hey guys, I have a friend that would buy my BFG 7800GT off me for $300 dollars. I'd obviously put this towards an X1900XT since it is the fastest card (Close enough to the XTX) at the moment, and I am a good ol' red fan :p. Problem is, I don't know if its worth it. The X1900XT is $626...

Hi... I bought this motherboard a few months ago so I could use my 7800GT. Had a few problems off the bat that I fixed by a little overclocking. At first, my 2 X 512MB of samsung el cheapo stuff would not run at the full 400Mhz. It would ran 314Mhz, while my CPU would still be at 2.2Ghz. I fixed...

Hey guys... A friend of mine plays Airsoft (for those of you that don't know, like paintball.. but with BB's and replicas of real guns) with the guy (or one of the group) that originally (Minh Le) made CS is apparently working on a new version of CS, or something to that affect. There will...

Heya people, I just got a new G5 and G15 Mouse and keyboard. I tried the G7 (GF bought it for me) but I didn't like it too much, so I went and returned it, and bought a G5 and G15 with the money from it. Man... this keyboard is awesome, as is this mouse, although I'm not fond of the 'grainy'...

Heya people, I'm giving my current processor and motherboard to my sister and I'm in the market for a processor. I'm stuck between a 3700+ San Diego Core, and the X2 3800+. I can get the 3700+ for $249.99 and the X2 for $399.99, canadian prices of course. Now... I mostly play games, would I...

Heya people, I've got my 7800GT outputting to my 26'' HDTV with a DVI cable and the signal is still kind of blurry, as in, I can't read text pretty much, movies look awesome. Games look good except for the text and crosshairs and what not. I'm a complete noob to this and I'm wondering if its...

Heya people, I'm buying another TV for my room and I've been eying this one, its a 26'' Widescreen HDTV from samsung, 1080i/720p/480p compatible. It normally goes for $599CDN at walmart, but I can get a 20% discount, so it comes out to about $480 + tax. What do you think of this? I'm gonna use...

Heya people, I have weekly LAN's with my friends (4 of us, CSS and BF2) and it gets really painful playing for 8 hours on a dining table :p ... so we took a trip down to the local IKEA.. ended up gettin this...

Hi people.. I just bought this game.. I'm loving every second of it. But I seem to get hard lock ups every once in a while. I thought it was related to my video card's overclock at first, but I set them back to stock and I still get the lockups. My overclocks worked like a charm in every other...

Is anybody else getting these annoying little clicking sounds? I'm using a SB Live! 5.1 and I get annoying little clicks everywhere. This doesn't happen in any other game, only FEAR. I read the readme file and it says that you have to alt+tab out of the game, and back in to fix the problem. I...

I have a Soundblaster Live! (No, i will not upgrade for a while because I just got a 7800GT and a new Mobo.. no more money :p) and I get weird clicking noises. I read the readme, and it says alt-tab out of the game, and alt tab back in to fix the problem... doesnt work. I still get annoying...

Well.... not really, my girlfriend bought if for me :). Do you know whats better than that? A girlfriend that buys you AND plays games, well.. CS: Source only for now, but still. Hehe. I'm installing the game as I type this, I'll report back after I finish the first level.

I just got this motherboard because I wanted to switch over to PCI-E and keep my processor at the same time and somethin seems odd. Everything works ok, even overclocked now.. but, my temperature probe reads at 8-11C idle. The socket and my XP90 ARE right infront of my 120mm intakef fan, so its...

My CPU probe is reading 10C... I don't know if this is possible. I have an XP90 there, stock voltage, and the heatsink sits RIGHT infront of my 120MM intake fan.. but 10C. Bios reports the same thing as nVidia monitor. Any ideas?

I just sold my X800XL to a friend of mine, and he is having a weird problem after he boots up EQ1. Every game, including EQ2 runs awesome, but he gets this error. He's uninstalled the old 9800pro drivers properpely, tried the 5.8's, 5.9's and the new 5.10's and he gets teh same thing, here's the...

I recently had an offer from a friend to buy my X800XL for $350 and I accepted. Added another $150 dollras and bought a BFG 7800GT OC. I was looking for X1800XL's but I had to be realistic, why should I pay more, wait longer, and have a video card thats ALMOST as fast in some cases. Before you...

Heya people.. I just sold my x800XL to a buddy of mine for $350CDN, and I bought a BFG 7800GT and a new DFI S754 Mobo instead (can't afford new CPU just yet). So yeah.. any suggestions on which drivers to use? I've been away from nVidia since the GeForce 2 era.

my computer has just been turnin off recently (started today)... except its not a normal reboot due to overclocking and whatnot.. everything on my surge bar turns off.. speakers, monitor... cell phone charger.. everything. This normally means there is an extra load on teh surge bar right? It's...

I currently have an Athlon 64 3200+ (newcastle core, s754) and I could really go for extra ram, I have 2 512Mb sticks in there right now, If I throw in another one, will it downclock to 333Mhz? I want more ram for BF2.. if worst comes to worst, I guess I can sell this and grab 2 1Gb sticks.

So i start up my computer today, and it says the usual 'CPU fan error' like it always does, so i ignore it. Boot up guildwars play for ~10 minutes and my computer restarts, i figure its my video card overclock, so i boot up again, and it retarts... turns out that my CPU fan actually HAD stopped...

Hey guys.. I just bought San Andreas.. and it seems to lock up after ~15 minutes of gameplay.. it sounds like the sound is looping over and over again. I don't think its the temperatures of my video card, or the power supply.. the rails are spot on. Do you think its possibly a driver issue?

Hey guys, I gave my old rig to my sister mainly cuz she plays Sims 2 on it.. it was working fine but just today the computer started randomly restarting when you load up Sims 2. It sometimes gets a VPU recover error to. The specs are: Athlon XP 2500+ 512MB DDR400 Asus 9600XT Soltek...

Hey guys, just this morning i noticed that my GPU temperatures were up way higher then norma at about 55C on idle, i took apart my computer and noticed that the silencer fan isn't spinning at all, Its plugged in, it starts up for like half a second and then shuts off. Any ideas? Please help! :(

I just got my ATi Silencer today, hoping for a few Mhz more.. well lol, I upped the core to 450Mhz :eek: and the ram, nothing. Didn't even budge. Oh well, its quieter now, and I'm thinking of doing some VMods to it later. I'll post pics if you guys want too.

I can't seem to install the WDM drivers for my card, it has the rage theater chip and I want to use the video in but when I run the driver installation it freezes on that. If I uncheck the WDM installation it finishes it like normal. I've also tried the standalone WDM drivers from ATI and they...

So I just bought my video card, and this so far overclocks like a BITCH on stock cooling. I have the core running at 444Mhz, and the ram is running at 560Mhz. I'm gonna switch over to an ATI silencer next week and hopefully take the core to ~460. What do you guys think of this overclock? Good...

Heya people, my X800pro is dying... and I'm pretty sure its cause the overclocking hehe.. I'm not gonna RMA it because 1) it WAS my fault 2) Has a giant ATI silencer and ramsinks on it :p . So I'm scoping around for new video cards and I found a fairly good deal right now.. an X800XL AGP...

Heya guys, my friend just got a 6600GT and its really choppy in CS: Source. He installed the 66.93 drivers. His system is: AXP 2500+ @ 3200+ 1GB DDR400 80Gig ATA133 MSI 6600GT @ 550/1050 420W Thermaltake PS Any ideas? I heard valve released a patch for that stuttering problem but it...

Over the last week, I noticed that my case temps and CPU were through the roof, 40C ambient, 47idle with my XP90. I Figured thats its just because the temperature is getting warmer. I opened up my case to see ( SHOCK ) that my intake 120MM by Vantec was working, but the stock 120MM that came...
