So I've had this EVGA GTX 480 since early 2010 and have never had any problems with it, last night Im watching a youtube video and my PC hard locks for the first time since building it. Upon reboot it gets past the windows loading screen but then the PC locks up just before the desktop would...

I put together an AMD combo package for a friend (ordered from Newegg, full combo specs here). I installed Win 7 64bit and everything seems to be running fine it feels pretty snappy like my current i7 rig but I'm wondering if its normal for the CPU usage to be around 8 - 9% when running HD...

I have a Samsung 2333T LCD which can run 72hz refresh rate without skipping frames, the problem is if I run anything over 60hz my GTX 480's idle temp jumps from 50-52C to 80C even tho the GPU usage is at 0%, Is this a known issue or maybe something I'm overlooking? At first I thought maybe...

Ive been researching i7 motherboards & memory for a few days, I'm about to pull the trigger on the following and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or if any red flags pop up lol. I'm not expecting to OC the crap out of this CPU, I'm sure the stock speed will be plenty considering...

So my brother recently replaced his dying CRT ( 17" KDS brand, lasted 3 years ) with a Samsung 2232BW+ LCD (8,000:1 claimed ratio, 998:1 actual ratio when tested) and although it looks decent we're both amazed how BAD black levels still are on modern PC LCD monitors. How do people accept this...

I bought the Digital I/O addon for my X-Fi soundcard and have it hooked up to a Onkyo 7.1 Receiver via Optical cable , my question is how do I get actual Dolby digital / DTS etc. to pass from my PC to Receiver properly? So far my receiver only responds with various Dolby Pro logic modes...
