    Having Trouble Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol (Homework)?

    Before I start, I'd just like to quickly say that I'm not asking anybody to do my homework for me as I obviously need to do it myself, I just need a bit of help understanding these questions for my assignment. I've written a couple of pages about what TCP/IP is and how each layer works...

    Razer's New Program for 7.1 Surround Sound on Stereo Headsets! (It's free too)

    You guys could at least give the software a go, it's free. I noticed a big difference, especially in the calibration setup. If you've tried it and say it's BS, then fair enough, but comments before you've tried it are pointless.

    Opinions on my Photo Restoration in Photoshop?

    This is my first project with the aim of restoring an old and tattered photograph. I have managed to clean it up fairly well in my opinion, but I want some advice as to how I can further improve it. I'm not sure whether to soften it up and remove the 'grainy' effect due to it being old, or...

    Razer's New Program for 7.1 Surround Sound on Stereo Headsets! (It's free too)

    Not sure if anyone else got the email, but Razer just sent out a load of emails regarding their new software called Razer Surround. It allows you to simulate 7.1 surround sound with ANY headset or headphones, including stereo ones. I downloaded and installed it and it actually works really well...

    PS4/Xbox One Headset Compatibility? Will Current Headsets Work With It?

    I have been looking around the internet for a while now, seeking a new pair of gaming headphones which I can use with my PC in the meantime, as well as with one of the next-gen consoles when they come out later this year (probably the PS4). The problem is, I have no idea what to buy as I don't...

    Looking for a cheap but silent PC case?

    Hey there, So I've been using a CoolerMaster Storm Scout case for my PC over the past 6 months or so, and I am becoming displeased with it. Although the cooling is good with the case, I just find it so damn noisy and the transparent side panel is not something I need as it can only fit under...

    Cable Management Too Difficult?

    I built my first gaming PC about a month ago now, and while I'm still very happy with the performance of the system, I still have frustration in the back of my mind every time I look at the cables inside. My Cooler Master case has a side window in it, so I can see inside at all times, and to me...

    Stable Temperatures for a GPU?

    I use CPUID HWMonitor from the same developers as CPU-Z I believe, and the Furmark temperatures were also the same, so they must be reliable. I did test out a good few hours of gaming last night on BF3, and the temperatures were considerably lower than Furmark's scores. Using MSI...

    Stable Temperatures for a GPU?

    So I built my first ever gaming PC last week, and I've got an XFX Radeon HD 7950 DD GPU installed in it. Being my first ever build, I'm naturally concerned about temperatures and whether my components are stable or not. After researching online for my GPU's benchmarked temperatures, it seems...

    Yeah I did download that driver, but it seems to freeze up my pc completely when I try to install it. I've had a technician who one of my family members is friends with to remotely log into my PC, and he's going to have a look at my PC tomorrow. Thanks for the support though

    Can't Find Ethernet Driver Update ANYWHERE!?

    My 'Ethernet Controller' driver has an exclamation mark next to it in device manager, and I am trying to connect an ethernet cable to my motherboard on my new PC build. When I right click the driver and check for updates, none can be found by Windows 7. Then, when I go to my motherboard's...

    PC Games Keep Crashing to Desktop? PLEASE HELP!

    This is very hard to explain in words, but I'll give it a try. Basically, I can't play any games continuously without it freezing or crashing. HOWEVER, this is not a typical crash that you may be thinking of. Normally a crash is when the system cannot cope, and it ends the application's...

    Broken Audio on New PC Build?

    Finished building my new PC and all is good, except the sound. My Asrock Z77 Extreme4 motherboard supports full HD audio, and I've made sure everything is plugged in properly. The problem is, when I play back audio files such as music, all I can hear is dodgy instrumental audio and no lyrics...
