    Just built a desktop gaming computer, having problems

    Yup, the video card driver is fully updated from the website. Could it be a bad version of Windows? Motherboard drivers or something? It seems like all the drivers are updated as late as possible, I'm not sure about the motherboard though

    Just built a desktop gaming computer, having problems

    Just put together a decent gaming computer for my friend, and we are having issues with something I would describe as "tearing." Basically he'll be running a game, say world of warcraft for example, and when he hits the Windows button, the game starts to immediately "tear" and lags up the...

    boot up problem :(

    I can't figure out how to do a repair install. To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER. To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R. To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3. I hit ENTER to try the repair installation, and after hitting F8 for...

    Looking to build my first shuttle..

    So my brother has decided to build a shuttle PC, for the purposes of being more convienent carrying it around. Not like a laptop, but it will be moved around from time to time, and saving space is a big factor for him, and he's left me to spec out the whole thing. I've never built a shuttle...

    Building my first shuttle, quick question.

    Since i'm an AMD kind of guy, my shuttle options seemed to narrow down to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16856140021 Seems like a decent case, however the 250W powersupply leaves me a bit worried. Most PCIx16 video cards i'm looking at right now require 350W...

    Computer not turning on

    Neither of my friends have a motherboard that my video card can fit into, so that is out of the question. I am interested though, how do I find out if the processor is defective? The motherboard has never made a single sound ever since I put together the computer. No beeps. Motherboard defective?

    Computer not turning on

    I have checked over and over, everything is plugged in correctly. The fan on the video card even turns on. But nothing appears on the screen still... I searched the house and couldnt find any PCI Video cards, so I can't test and see if its the card or not. So the question is, is it even...

    Computer not turning on

    I just un-hooked the card and reinstalled it, still the same results. I'm sure I have an old PCI video card around, i'll go look for it and see if that works. If it does, that means my new card is defective right?

    Computer not turning on

    One of the plugs was not all the way connected, and that seemed to do the job. Now everything powers up and stays up. New problem :( Nothing appears on the monitor. I've tried two different monitors now, they both dont show anything. Defective video card?
