Weird computer shutdown/restart problem

Yesterday my PC has started to instantly power off when going into 3d games / playing some movies. After it has powered of, after about 5 seconds it will power on. It has not BSOD'ed, but instantly powered off. My gut says it's either the PSU or the GFX card. I've checked fans on both to make...

ATI 4890 vs Geforce 275

Hmm interesting stuff. Unfortunately I don't live in the US, and the reliable suppliers I have access too is pretty limited and none of them sell the Vapor-X. I just assumed the GTX270 / 4890 was the middle ground, not the high-end. Maybe I should be going a step below (GTX260) to get a bit...

ATI 4890 vs Geforce 275

I'm trying to weigh up getting one of these cards. I know now is not the best time to get one, but my current 8800 GT just went up to GFX card heaven so I need another ASAP. As far as I can tell performance wise they are pretty similar. Feature wise the ATI card has DX 10.1 on it's side, and...

No audio: Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6, Vista 64-bit

I had similar issues. I'm not 100% sure how I fixed it, but I think the audio device only shows up when you plug in the speaker (it has detection when you put the cable in), and then us the Realtek audio manager to tell it what the cable was you just plugged in. You then need to restart the...

P35 or 680i

Hmm Interesting. What does X48 bring to the table? DDR3 RAM seems a little too pricey for me

P35 or 680i

Well my screen will have a native resolution of 1920 x 1200. I currently don't play games at that resolution though. Noise is also a concern, so have been trying to figure out how noisey two of them will be. Guess its not worth the hassle.

P35 or 680i

Hi, I am trying to spec out a new box and was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions on the pro's and cons of P35 vs 680i. My understanding is that the P35 is stable but has less features, and the 680i is obviously SLI ready, but is less stable. I've wittled down my choices to...

AGP or PCI-e

Are there any good articles on the arguments for PCI-e? I'm currently looking to upgrade my PC and am wondering if I should go for AGP and keep my existing card (GF 4400ti), or go PCI-e and get a new GFX card. A year or so down the road, will AGP be that much slower, that being forced into...

Hard Disk question

Thanks. Anyone know if they've actually fixed the hard drive corruption issue? I remember there was a big thing a while back with them saying you should only use your HD for a few hours a day or something, which is obviously unrealisitc.

Hard Disk question

Hi, I think my hard disk has just packed it in so I'm looking for a replacement ASAP. Looking at reviews I think i'll either go for a WD Caviar WD2000BB/JB, or a IBM/Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 . I was wondering if anyone could answer a couple of questions about them. Firstly do HD manufacturers no...

Windows 2k domain / networking issue

SP6. Part of the reason I say that it seems to have 'fallen off the network' is that when i logged into the server in question it didn't say 'you have x days left until your password expires' which it should have said. Does anyone have any good documentation about exactly what ports windows...

Windows 2k domain / networking issue

Sorry I think my subject has confused my question. Its an NT4 domain with these two win 2k servers. So no AD. Should have read 'Windows 2k - domain / networking issue' I guess.

Windows 2k domain / networking issue

Hi, I've got two servers on a domain which for various reasons are on a DMZ (packets need to go through the firewall to get to the PDC/BDC). For some reason every so often (about 4 monthly intervals) one of them will seem to drop off the domain. When the other server on the same subnet tries...
