New gaming PC build, need input/suggestions

Alright I've gotten some additional input from another forum... I've updated the build again and I think it's going to be the final build. I'm a little weary on the choice of video card but I think it's the most bang for the buck and at this point the most reasonable choice. Please voice your...

New gaming PC build, need input/suggestions

New gaming PC build, need input/suggestions

So then go with the OCZ 500W ModXStream then instead of the Corsair 750W? I don't really have much grasp on how much power I will need. I'd like to play the current and near future games with high settings as I don't plan on upgrading this thing for a while. So you say the 5850 is overkill...

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Gaming/misc. school work 2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread $1500 max 3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from. USA 4. IF YOU...

Hyundai Imagequest L90D+ Monitor makes 'buzzing' sound?

Corkyg - I believe you were somewhat right with the part about the speakers. I had the audio cable unplugged from the back of my PC and it was sitting on a metal heater unit behind my desk. When I took it off of that the buzzing stopped. Meh... :/

Hyundai Imagequest L90D+ Monitor makes 'buzzing' sound?

It's really quite annoying. When I turn off the monitor the sound ceases. I don't think it's a vibration as when I move around the monitor/tap on the sides it still buzzes. I'm sure there's probably nothing I can do to stop it, but if by change anybody has a suggestion or at least an idea of...

Remote desktop connect 'freezing' shortly after connection made

So one of the computers at my Dad's store got a nasty virus, we tried pretty much everything to get it off and couldn't. So I ended up reformatting the computer. This computer is at the front of the store and needs to connect to another computer in the back so the employees can do work in both...

Just reformatted (twice!) and after installing chipset, audio, and wireless drivers, computer freezes after ~1 minute...

It's definitely an issue with the chipset drivers. After I installed them and rebooted, the lockups came back. Now I just have to figure out how to uninstall them before it locks up and also how to install the drivers I downloaded off of the internet... I'm sure someone here can help me with...

The wireless card worked fine just where it was before I reformatted. I actually am having some success right now. I uninstalled everything except for the wireless drivers and the computer didn't freeze up at all and I could still access the internet. I downloaded the VNF4 Ultra drivers off...

Hmm... Turns out that it wasn't the Realtek audio drivers either... Gah! This is so frustrating... What do I do?

Alright, well I booted up in safemode without networking, uninstalled the Linksys wireless drivers, rebooted normally, and the system still locks up. I guess now I'm going to try and remove the RealTek audio drivers and see what happens... If anyone else has any suggestions please let me know!

No, no, and no. I believe the chipset drivers are okay... It just seems I was using the computer for longer than I could have if the freezing problem was there. Haven't checked temperature because I can't do anything for more than a minute without it freezing. Same with RAM. How can I...
