I may just try reflowing the GPU with a heat gun. I have done this to a PS3 before but I think it only lasted for a few days. I'm not sure if cracked solder under the GPU is likely to be the problem or not. I'm just afraid that If I over melt the solder or something the graphics card could...
I blow the dust out of my computer and graphics card heat sink about every 6 months so I don't think that it overheated due to dust. I just replaced the thermal paste on the card and tried putting it back in and there was no change. The computer powered up for about a second and then restarted...
Hello, I am having problems with a ASUS GTX 670 2gb. I have only been using this card for 3½ to 4 years with slight overclocking. Yesterday while I was playing a game (CS:GO) my computer shut off as if it had lost power and then tried to restart itself after a few seconds and seemed to go in a...
Hello, I have spent hours trying to fix this problem. I have tried putting the sata controller in IDE and AHCI, I have tried deleting the partition and reformatting the drive, I have tried plugging the ssd into a different sata slot, I have tried pretty much everything I could think of/find on...
"It shouldn't but won't give any gains either, It will have a extra partition for the SSD that's only 8 GB and newer games use a lot more than that so you'll just be adding a extra drive letter with little use being so small. All they are is a HD with a SSD added to the case to fit in smaller...
We are literally talking $1.00 Canadian Dollar here. If they really have worse performance then I get it. If they have even the slightest performance gain then I don't see $1.00 being a waste of money.
Also like I said, he is getting a 256 gb ssd and pairing it with a hard drive to store his...
Thanks for the reply. I researched hybrid drives before I posted this but I guess I should have stated my question differently. My question is that is there a good reason to not spend literally one dollar more to get a hybrid drive instead of a regular hard drive? Will a hybrid drive as a game...
Hello, I have a simple question. I'm helping my friend pick parts, and he is probably going to get this ssd (if you can find a better 256 gb ssd on newegg.ca for about the same price let me know):
Crucial MX100 CT256MX100SSD1 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - Newegg.ca...
Wow usually I get a reply within like 2 hours on this website. I guess this must not be a stupid question haha. Ill just have to try it one way and whatever happens happens.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I have tried to figure this out using the manual and researching but I just have a simple question.
On this AC'97 chart on this webpage: Desktop Boards  Front panel audio header pinouts
Would #5 be the red wire (HPOUT R) and #6 the white (HPOUT -R)...
From what I understand you can do this. The system is a pentium haswell running on the intel graphics from that chip. No graphics card and no wireless card. I would just like some assurance that this is fine to do before i start up the system. I am building this computer for someone else and...
Thanks for the reply. I will go with an ASUS motherboard. I noticed that XP is also not listed as supported on their website, but when you go to their drivers section for the board windows xp 32 and 64 bit are available.
I am upgrading a computer for a friend. The machine he has now is so old that I can't upgrade it without buying already outdated parts because everything is an older connection (2 notches in ram, ribbon cables for hard drive/cd-rom, ect.) so I figured I might as well just get a new motherboard...
From what I understand, if you are running 2 670s in sli for example, the vram is limited to only 1 of the cards. Why is this? Why can't 1 card render half of the pixels using its own vram and the other card render the other half using its?
It just seems so wasteful to have around 2gb of...
