It doesn't matter if I'm wrong. I'm not, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if I'm a member of a cult of goat worshippers who found a holy book in a cave in the desert, and the ancient text said more FPS was better. It's not relevant. What's relevant is that I'm getting FEWER FPS with a...

If I played COD, I might believe that, but I'd be wrong. Oh yes, I went there! There absolutely IS a difference, but the fact remains: Better GPU, LOWER FPS at anything but maxed settings. Something isn't right there. Like I said: Surely if the CPU was bottlenecking, I'd still get the SAME 300 -...

Recently, I upgraded my GPU from an HD 7770 to an HD 7970, and I noticed I was getting FPS drops in games. I figured the VRMs were overheating on my old board (ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2) so I got a new board. A Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3. Apart from the unrelated issue of a winows crash on startup, which was...

Or maybe you can, and i haven't figure out how. It makes no sense. As soon as you plug in the mic, you lose all audio unless you plug your headphones or speakers into the mic's headphone socket. The mic has great sound quality for the price, but plugging your headphones into the mic, results in...

I just ordered a CX600m cus it was cheap. Now I just gotta hope that the PSU was the problem. Meanwhile, I downloaded the newest driver for my GPU on this laptop, and i'll fix the power switch while I wait for the GPU to arrive. I'll post back and update if I fix the FPS issue. Hell, it may have...

The power button doesn't work. Which is odd, cus it did last night. i cut the wires and tried shorting them together, and that didn't work, but when i short the pins on the board, it powers up, so the wire going to the switch prolly has a break in it, or the connector on the end is messed up...

I tried reseting the CMOS, but I'm not sure if it reset, cus I don't have a jumper, and it's really hard to see or feel if I'm contacting both pins. I'll try again. I have a corsair CX500. I used a PSU calculator to make sure the new card wouldn't push things beyond what the PSU could handle...

Okay, so...When I searched for a driver before, I just googled hd7970 latest driver, but the page that topped the list was a kind of generic page for the whole 7900 series. I shoulda read that more carefully, but the website is badly designed. I found a specific driver for my card, that was...

Yeah, I remember the latest driver for the 7770 coming with a replacement for CCC, (Radeon settings, i believe it was called) so I found it a bit odd that the latest driver on the AMD website came with CCC, and was from 2014. I know it's not a new card, but it's newer than the 7770 and surely...

I don't play any really demanding games. Mostly CS:GO and Quake Live. Recently, I upgraded my old HD7770 to a HD7970. I started getting serious drops in FPS, which I figured were down to the motherboard VRMs over heating cus it was an old board. I forget the exact model. i think it was an Asus...

Okay, I have a strong suspicion that this is not something that can be fixed with nerdiness. I believe two things that were once physically and electrically connected have gone their separate ways. I'm just gonna get one of those cheap USB adapters. I'm not even going to risk a sound card...

You can swap your front panel sockets around and have the mic socket be the speaker socket and vice versa. I doubt there's a software way to do it, but it's not too hard to swap the wiring over. In fact, aren't they usually the cables that split into little bricks at the end anyway? I think mine...

I've been Googling this all day, and it seems like a very common problem with no fix. Unlike the other posters I came across, my problem is not with a new build, or new hardware. I tried installing a sound card (audigy SE) and it never showed in the Device manager. I tried installing the...

It's never done it before, and it hasn't done it since. I think it was merely a symptom of some other problem. Everything works fine now. I had Avast for ages, but I hated it with a passion. Then I tried AVG, and hated it even more. It actually sent FALSE alerts or warnings about unimportant...

It's the highlighted item. For some reason, my AV seems to have decided to quarantine itself. Maybe it was depressed. But I'm not sure if that's the cause of my problems or only a symptom of them. Everything works fine now, so I have no idea.

Yeah, I know. As I said, I transferred video files, and only video files. I've even looked through the copy of the folder to see if there was anything that had somehow gotten in there without me knowing, but it's just video files.

So, I just installed a new hard drive. My operating system is on an SSD, I have a normal SATA drive I use for all my programs, and to read/write to (I edit a lot of video). I wanted to add another drive just to read and write video from/to, so I bought one second hand on Ebay. Windows 7...

Hi, I order a lot of goods online, so I wasn't on my guard when I got a message from UPS concerning a delivery. I'm sure you all have heard of this. I downloaded the zip file and was about to extract it, when I saw it had an .exe file inside. I'm fairly certain that I'm ok, since I never...
