    EVGA GTX460 Artifacts

    Ok, so this isn't so straight froward as the title may suggest. So recently I purchased a new EVGA GTX460 SC 1GB and I'm getting artifacts. But the strange thing is that they only appear in game. System boot, windows, movies, internet etc... are totally clear with no visible issues at all...

    Overclocking question

    Yeah that should be fine, provided you're using all the same settings as you did earlier. The reason you go slowly/incrementally when first over clocking is so you don't do more than it can handle and damage something. But once you know what it can handle you can jump straight too it.

    Which Socket is more future proof

    Yeah as you've already decided 1366 is by far the most future proof socket. 1156 is just to kill off 775 for good. The new hexa-core processors (2010) will be 1366 socket only!

    Just got a Gigabyte EX58-DS4

    Its it common misconception that originated with all the hype for the 1366 socket. Not all all X58 boards support both SLI and Crossfire :( And in this case you're board is only Crossfire.

    Good lga 1156 board

    It is far and away worth going to X58 if you can afford it. There are feature that the 1156 chips have over the 1366 ones but there are also things that x58 has over 1156 (such as 16/16 SLI). Also 1366 is more future proofed - being able to support the Hexa-core processors being released by...

    New hard rive will not show in "My Computer"

    If its a new HDD you will need to format it. Connect it -> right click my computer -> Go to disk management on the left hand side -> Right click the new drive and click initialize -> then right click it again and click format -> do a quick format -> should now be in my computer.

    I got REALLY bored playing Fallout 3

    All you guys saying that you get bored walking for ages to places and back...you do know that if you open the map and click on a location you already know you can just "fast travel" there? Basically instant transport...and when you have to go to a an unknown place on the other side of the map...

    Best store (not online) to get quality keyboard?

    I think you're going about this the wrong way. You're better off finding a "quality" keyboard that you like and THEN finding a store that stocks it or can get it in for you. The store you buy it from wont determine the quality of the k/b at all. So long as you go a good brand it'll be the same...

    Can't Decide...

    GTS 250 = 9800GTX+. Literally. They just renamed it to be inline with their new range. Performance wise it'll be better than the 9800GT, but it basically comes down to what your trying to use it for. If your really into the latest and greatest (even though this card wont to them at top settings)...

    ASUS mobo P5kPL - AM/PS Issue/problem

    Yeah I build this with board frequently for customers and it *general works* I've seen this problem with even top end boards, hopefully its something stupid and easy like as StrangleHold said, the mobo standoffs. Also check online that the CPU that you're trying to use is supported by that...

    Help Me choose between Two Mobos

    Yeah the Asus Hands down. I've built with the Intel one and its a piece of...well you know. I cant understand how there is even a question over this. The P6T is a great X58 board! :D Only go the Intel if you're building a basic server or work PC, but even then...

    What's the best free registry cleaner.

    In my experience you're much better off doing it yourself using software like AutoRunS or something. I've often found that registry cleaners, particularly free ones often cause more problems than they solve. Yes, CCleaner is good, but I prefer to use it more as PC cleaner, not a registry cleaner.

    Razer Lycosa Keyboard

    I have a lycosa and use it one my main pc daily for gaming and plenty of general use. I find it great to use. Its comfortable and functional. Its keys are slightly lower set that the standard keyboard, like you have to press them with less force. And as for the call that its huge i have no idea...

    790X or 790FX Big difference ?

    What your looking for with the onboard video to help your video card is the GX series. Not the FX. The GX boards all have on board video which then works with your dedicated video card for more performance. Called hybrid-crossfire. The downside of the GX is that crossfire runs in 16x/8x instead...

    Need help with my BIOS password

    As far as I know there in no way of getting the bios password to be displayed to you. Even getting a Windows password to be listed in a plain English can be hard. So, I don't think it can be done. Why cant you just ask your dad for it? If he doesn't want you in the bios there must be a reason...

    Risky Power Supply?

    Well I've never seen a healthy Power supply that hisses, but stranger things have happened. Personally I'd start looking for a replacement.

    Possible to load Windows 7 on new PC?

    Will work fine. Just remember that it is a Beta! So before you install it, I'd look up all your hardware your going to use with it to make sure it will work with Windows Seven. *Generally* most new stuff wont give you a problem. Also remember that it will be on a beta key which will expire in a...

    I can't get ANYTHING to work in Win7 :(

    ***If your running it in a virtual machine*** First off go to the 'actions' menu and go to something along the lines of 'install virtual machine tools'. I cant remember what it is exactly called, and I don't have my virtual pc in front of me. DO=o this while the virtual pc is running. This...
