Grrr PC started to reboot during games recently

How is your PSU mounted, and where does your case set? If you have the PSU mounted with the fan on the bottom like the case is designed for, and the case is setting on anything other than a hard, flat surface, then most likely your PSU is overheating and restarting your pc. A friend of mine had...

catalyst 11.4 posted

Have they set the Over/Under scan slider setting to default at 0% yet? I have my PC hooked up to a 40" LCD TV and every time I install a new driver I have to manually set this to 0% as it defaults at 15% underscan.

360 no longer reads discs...

Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. I bought my 360 not quite 2 and a half years ago and already the dvd drive is taking a dump. What gives? I've had the same dvd-rw drive in my computer for over for years and it still works flawlessly. Hell, the computer I built in 2002 still...

Am I missing something here? Is the 5870 now the best bang for the buck?

Would it be wise to run a 5870 on a Antec TruePower New 550W PSU? Expecting my tax return any day now...

Time to retire my 4850 1GB

Thanks for all your input. 6870 seems to be the best option for me as far as budget is concerned and if it is twice as fast as my current card I will be more than happy as I thought my 4850 handled most games pretty well.

That card you linked to is recertified. While it may work fine I don't really like buying used or refurbished electronics. And only a 90 day warranty to boot.

Time to retire my 4850 1GB

It's tax time and I think I may treat myself to a new GPU. The 4850 1GB has served me well. Plays many games at high settings but lately I've been experiencing a good number of BSODs while gaming; Just Cause 2, Dead Space, Lotro, and Fallout all occasionally crash with the same result. The video...

Better to keep my OC or add more RAM?

Thanks for all the replies. I had more time to experiment with all 8 gigs. With all 8 installed and keeping the memory speed at 961 adjusting voltages made no difference. As soon as I began a stress test the computer froze. That said, backing the memory speed down one multi to 801 made the...
