brand new build, random bsods

Running Windows Ultimate x64, just the one 7850 video card. I tried an older version of the video card drivers but just got another bsod so it wasn't that. Currently have the card completely removed from the system and running off the on-board gpu (as per kami's advice), I'll see how that goes...

brand new build, random bsods

I built a new system on Friday, and generally speaking everything seems to be working fine - except I've gotten 5 bsods since then. I can't seem to reproduce them, they seem to happen randomly. I've run memtest for 8+ hours, prime95 for several hours, updated my mobo bios and the firmware on my...

Computer pauses every now and then, cause?

I built a new computer about 6 months ago, and it's always had this issue where everything would pause/freeze for a few seconds every now and then. I can still move my mouse, but I can't actually interact with anything, and if I'm watching a video or playing a game the picture will also freeze...

Building new system

Thanks for all the tips! Definitely very helpful. And yeah, I had meant to have both drives as black, must have mis-clicked on that one.

Building new system

So I'm building a new system and I think everything looks ok, but I'm not really an expert on hardware so I figured I'd post it here and somebody could point out if I was being a moron. WD 1 TB drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822136284 WD 640 gig drive...

monitor won't stop flickering

I have a monitor, Samsung 226BW, which I got about 18 months ago. It worked fine for the first year or so. One day it randomly started flickering for 10-20 second whenever it was first turned on - not a big deal since it went away, just kind of annoying. I turn on the monitor today and the...

Home audio recommendations

I only need to have it hooked up to my TV/DVD-player etc, if that's what you mean. Won't be using it for anything else. Or were you referring to something else?

Home audio recommendations

I recently moved into a house for the first time (had always been in apartments), and one of the first things I did was buy a new 61" HDTV. I'm enjoying it very much, but want to take it a step further and get a home audio system for it as well. I don't need anything fancy - a simple 2.1 setup...

Building new system for GF to game on

So a while back I managed to con my girlfriend into trying World of Warcraft with me, and she got hooked. However, her current system is pretty old, and her FPS goes to hell, especially in raids. I'd like to get her a new system so she doesn't get discouraged from playing. Keep in mind that...

Upgrading to an HDTV, what do I need to know?

Yeah, I was going to wait for the format wars to subside a bit before buying one, but I just took the plunge and got an HD-DVD player. Thanks for all the advice in this thread.

Upgrading to an HDTV, what do I need to know?

I will probably get a sound system, but not until later - want to make sure the TV works out first. Is a calibration disc enough, or should I try and get it professionally done? Also, any recommendations on a stand for this TV? I was going to go with the Samsung one designed for it just to...

Upgrading to an HDTV, what do I need to know?

I want to finally make the leap to HD, so I'm considering getting the Samsung HLT6187S and wanted to make sure I had all my bases covered before going forward with it. I know I should get a new DVD player (which I'll be doing), and I'll also probably be getting Tivo HD. What else do I need to...

Setting up 3 monitors?

I currently have 2 19" monitors, and I was thinking about adding a 22" widescreen in the middle. How difficult is it to set up my system to handle all 3 monitors? I currently have a 7800 GT. I can handle basic hardware adjustments, but I'm not particularly savvy so if it's a lot of trouble...
