    will windows use more memory if i have more installed?

    That's what I thought. I'm running at over 5 with swtor beta and of course I never went above 4gb before.

    will windows use more memory if i have more installed?

    I upgraded my RAM from 4gb to 8gb yesterday. I used to have about 42-50% memory useage at idle or slight internet browsing. With 8gb I am still using about 32-36% I would think since I doubled my memory it would be around 25% useage.

    Can a power outage damage an hdmi out port?

    I got the surge protector last June after a surge got in my ethernet and fried my router, ether net port on my motherboard, and my dvi and hdmi port that was connected. I got this one surge protector because it also has ethernet ports on it. Only thing that doesn't work this time is just the...

    Can a power outage damage an hdmi out port?

    We had a bad storm here a few days ago and the power flickered several times and went out for about a day. Since then, the tv that I have connected to my hdmi out of my HD 5850 will not display. I've tried two different hdmi ports on the tv and neither will display the picture (they work fine...

    Left and Right Channel both come through left headphone.

    When I plug my headphones into the front jack of my pc, the sound only comes out of the left headphone only. It is actually both channels, I tested it in ReakTek and the left and right test sound come out of the left one only. The speakers that are plugged into the back work correctly. I've...

    Artifacts on dx10 games with 5850

    Well it seemed to work. Monday night I ran Heaven 2.0 many times with different settings and played SCII no problem. The last night when playing starcraft, it happened again! I rebooted my pc and loaded it back up and it played ok after that. Guess I'll keep troubleshooting. Any ideas? I...

    Want to use my TV as a monitor

    What kind of tv is it? If it's dlp, I think they have some bad input lag. You will want to set the input to game mode if it has it. Not sure about that pc accepting that card. Some of those old dells are pretty small cases.

    Artifacts on dx10 games with 5850

    I uninstalled my driver and downloaded the most recent one this morning before work but didn't run driver sweeper. I didnt have time to test it yet. Is the driver sweep usually necessary?

    Artifacts on dx10 games with 5850

    My Radeon 5850 is not overclocked and only gets to max temp of around 60C. These dots have been coming up when I play games and stay on the desktop once I exit out. They are usually red or blue. They are about the size of a BB. I'm using CCC 10.10 I can't use the newest one because I get the...

    Need some headset/mic info. I have no experience with this.

    I've always been a console gamer. Not too much experience with pc peripherals. If I get a headset and mic to use voice chat while playing a game, can I still have the game audio come through my speakers and keep voice chat on the headset. I ask because I will be playing from my couch on my tv...

    Hooking up router turns off my cable tv!

    No. It goes from wall to surge protector then to my router. Everything runs fine this way. I just don't want anything to get damaged if there is some electricity involved in a way it shouldn't be. I'd have never of guessed that the surge protector would fix it. I just happened to order one to...

    Hooking up router turns off my cable tv!

    They did come out and couldn't come up with anything other than a 2.4ghz wireless camera I had hooked up. I unhooked it this morning and it still did it. They had to bypass my single wire return device outside because the power surge damaged it. They have not replaced that yet. Would not having...

    Hooking up router turns off my cable tv!

    It's a linksys e3000. Why would running it through the surge protector make it work perfectly. Almost sounds like some sort of electrical issue doesn't it?

    Hooking up router turns off my cable tv!

    Can anyone explain this because my cable company can't. I recently bought a new wireless router because a power surge damaged my old one. When I plug my Internet into the router, I lose picture on all tv's in my house as well as not having an Internet connection. However, if I plug it straight...

    This sound like lightning damage?

    I just don't understand why the only outputs that don't work are the two that were already plugged in (the tv and the monitor). Both of those were plugged into a surge protector. The video card itself works fine with the monitor plugged into the dvi out that had nothing in it at the time of...

    This sound like lightning damage?

    I got home from vacation to find that my power had been out due to a lightning strike. Once I got the power restored, I turned on the pc and my monitor said there was no input on dvi. I tried switching to the hdmi feed to my tv and no pic on the tv either. I have 2 dvi outs on the video card...

    Thanks guys. If it saves power, I'll leave it as is. I just thought I may have done something wrong.

    Multiplier dropping to 9.0

    I just overclocked my i5 to 3.0Ghz by setting my base to 150 and my multiplier to 20. When I load up CPU-Z is shows my multiplier bouncing back and forth from 9 to 21 occasionally. This is the first time that I've ever overclocked. Did I do anything wrong or forget to do something?

    First OC attempt by a OC'ing newb

    I've got a cooler master hyper fan for my CPU. I'm nervous about tweaking voltages or oc'ing really high. Any thoughts on how high I could get my base clock with a 20 multiplier without having to tweak voltages or messing up my pc? If I do something wrong will it take me back to the bios...
