What's your watch list for the near future?

Diablo 3 - No explanation needed. :P Elveon - Did you play Severance - Blade of Darkness? Well, it's one of my all-time favorites, and a very bloody one too. This reminds a lot of it. The battle system seems amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...JtB9Y0&feature=related (click High...

I need a game that will blow me away

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys! I see some interesting stuff as I look the games up. Regarding Half-Life. I played 1 and 2 but without any expansions or extras. Oh, how is Counter-Strike Source holding up these days? I used to frown, swear and nearly break innocent hardware over...

I need a game that will blow me away

Well, I bought a new computer recently, and now I'm picking up different games that I previously couldn't run. The problem is, I'm not having particularly fun. I need some game recommendations, and no, it doesn't need to be brand new or have extreme graphics and nor does it have to be a certain...

New build - No image showing

I had a similar problem. New build, no image, no sound from the computer, fans running etc. Reinstalling the CPU + cooler fixed it for me. Perhaps you should try that another time.

Upgrade package installed - Computer no longer works

Well, incase someone with similar problems ever reads this: I solved it by remounting the CPU and its cooler. Apparently something was not completely right there.

Upgrade package installed - Computer no longer works

Alright so I have tried the following without result: I have changed video card and monitor. I have tried running with one memory module and moving it around into different slots. I have tried running without HDD and DVD. I have tried reconnecting different cables. I have tried resetting...

Upgrade package installed - Computer no longer works

I just put in a new mobo, CPU, RAM, video card and harddrive. When I turn on the computer it starts up in a really odd way. The fans begin to speed up as normal only to turn off briefly (probably half a sec or less) and then begin to speed up again. It does this repeatedly until I turn off my...

Please help me select memory (two options)

I went with the Reaper. After some additional research it appears it clocks better and has reached 2000Mhz at some rare occasions (with extra cooling). Lower voltage and the heatsink obviously make a difference. It seems rather standard that it clocks to 1500-1800Mhz without additional cooling...

Please help me select memory (two options)

Ok so I'm no expert on this, but doesn't it say 1.9V because they're made to run at 1600Mhz? I assume that with the CPU I have chosen I won't need to run them much higher than 1333Mhz since the multiplier is unlocked, and thus perhaps I can lower the voltage at those levels. Perhaps the...

Please help me select memory (two options)

I'm about to buy myself a Phenom II X3 720 BE to go along with a Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P. I will do some overclocking but nothing too serious. The whole point of this setup is basically to get good performance at a good price today and be future proof with the AM3 socket and DDR3 memory. This...

Wrapped like a bow

So English is not my native language and I'm trying to comprehend the meaning of this expression. Does "wrapped like a bow" mean that something is perfectly made? Anyone care to explain this expression further to me?

Very strange ISP issues

I use a USB-modem and I connect through a program provided by my ISP, so when I try to set up OpenDNS, there's a problem. Let me explain: Each time the modem connects, Vista will create a new profile for it. It does this because whenever I'm disconnected, the modem is no longer listed in the...

Very strange ISP issues

So I'm in Brazil for a few months and am using a mobile Internet (that works like crap, but anyway). I have come across a really strange problem, one that my ISP refuses to acknowledge no matter what. That's why I want your help, so I can tell them what the problem is, since they say there is...

Sharing connection between Vista and XP

Well, this is really... strange. I have spent over two days trying every single way I can think of to fix the connection, and now suddenly for no apparent reason, it is working again. I haven't even activated connection sharing yet. Both the connections are put to private network, but I have...

Sharing connection between Vista and XP

The cable I use should be fine. I have used it for connection sharing for a couple of years actually; and file sharing works fine over the network right now. Yes, that seems to be exactly the problem, but putting a static IP makes no difference. I get a 169.254.*.* address on both interfaces...
