I guess that's really what I'm asking, is it even worth upgrading anything instead of one thing. My computer right now works and gets the job done, much better than the ones on campus I might add. It just starts to get choppy when say rotating a 150,000 sq ft building in sketchup. I'm not in...
I'm an architecture and design student so nowadays my computing needs have taken a big shift. I used to be a huge gamer but I I don't have the time or means for computer games anymore. I now need a computer that is up to the task of handling the 3d rendering I do for my work. I'm also on a...
Ok I'll be a little more specific.
This is a brand new build for my roomate. Bought all of the parts of of newegg brand spanking new. I put everything together this weekend. The computer works, it's just really slow. It takes about 10 seconds for windows to load user settings, then another 30...
What should I check? The BIOS says that it recognizes the amd 64 3000 at 1.8ghz. When I check the hardware monitor it also recognizes the cpu correctly. I've reinstalled the mobodrivers and the cpu drivers as well.
I just built this setup for my roomate and its running ridiculously slow. Here are the specs
A8N5x NF4 939
AMD athlon 64 3000 (1.8 g) 939
1gb(2x512) Corsair RAM
XFX 6600GT 256mb
In hl2, the vid stress test resulted with settings recomended for high so I'm pretty much ruling our the...
i came home for break from school and when i setup my computer again at my home, I could only get sound to play through the front speaker channel and sub. nothing changed, but i did reinstall my vid card drivers to see if that would fix the problem. I have a monsoon 505 surround system with a...
I'm looking to get a good fm transmitter. I've had the belkin one and another $20 one but both ended up not working after a few months. I want to get a good one now. I've been looking at the iriver one, but it looks like its going to be $50. If it's actually worth its price I'll get it, but i'd...
i've been using it for a couple months now and its great., expecially for college students. I'm a design student and I needed a drafting table and other supplies and i posted it on the local freecycle. I had 3 offers within 3 hours fitting my exact needs. Upon arriving to pick up the table, the...
overclocking while drunk would probably be a bad idea anyways.
I'm unfamiliar with this board and the bios. Reboot your computer and go into the bios. snoop around for a while and get yourself familiar with the commands. After giving yourself a basic guide of what your bios settings consist...
It's time for me to kill this thread.
After searching the I2hub site, I found out that there is a bug in the program that causes 100% cpu usage on some computers. This never happened on my old setup but does now. Apparently the cpu problem only has to do with the I2Hub program.
Thanks...
this is what I notice is happening.
I boot up my computer, and everything runs fine if I'm just surfing the web or word processing or anythign of the sort. As soon as a run a more demanding program, the cpu usage immediately starts rising until it reaches around 85% or 90%. So far this hasn't...
