So I am trying to sell my old desktop. I go to reformat the HDD and during the windows install my screen just goes black. I figured it was because i had crossfired cards so I removed one and tried again. Same issue. I have also pulled CMOS battery, tried a disk, a usb, tried both cards, one card...

Hey guys it's been 4 or 5 years since my last upgrade and I think it's about due time. I'd love some opinions / suggestions on my potential build. The processor has already been bought (4930k) so that's a must. I will be using this new rig for mainly gaming @ 1440p once I buy an Asus PB278Q So...

So here's the situation. I live in a house with 3 other guys, with our internet, we are able to download 125gb a month. We all agreed each of us will be entitled to downloading 30gb a month and leave the 5 for just in case. The problem is, people are downloading too much causing us to have to...

So I received my Noctua NH-D14 two days ago and I have to say, HOLY! It totally overshadows the intel cooler haha. I was getting temperatures of 70° with the stock cooler while running 2.7GHz. After reading a little bit about overclocking I decided to jump in. Might as well pop my cherry...

So now that I have my computer built and I have a little bit more spare time, I find myself wondering what I should do next. I know that I want to overclock my i5 750 so I am going to pick up a Noctua NH-D14 as my cpu is running at 70 degrees right now just running @ 2.73ghz. I am seriously...

So my first set of z5500's that I bought turned out to be shoddy so I sent them in for a new set which worked great....until yesterday. From what I can tell it sounds as though the driver in the subwoofer has detached itself from the cone. I got in touch with Logitech and I must send in my...

Alright so I kind of had an incident 2 weeks ago where my Sager gaming laptop decided it would be a good idea to kill itself. I woke up to it having leaked LCD fluid through the keyboard into the internals and kaboom, it fried itself. After talking to xoticpc where I purchased said laptop, I...

Alright guys, First of all, wanted to say I hope everyone had a good Xmas and new year! I just got myself a set of logitech z-5500 speakers and they are awesome, I am currently in the process of burning them in and they are very good. The problem I am having is that it seems as though my sub...

Hey guys, I am using the Creative sound blaster x-fi external sound card with my laptop but my logitech 530's are on the way out and I was thinking about buying some new speakers. I was thinking about straying away from the computer speaker market and going for something a little more home...

I have a headset that was given to me that is supposed to be plug and play. There is a usb and 2 analog plugs. I tried to use it in the front panel and the feedback and headphones work, but the mic does not. I have tried plugging it into the back and still no mic. I have enabled the mic in sound...

Well the time has come, I've been accepted to university and will be attending in September. I am in the market for a new laptop instead of lugging my PC with me. The thing is, I have very little knowledge of what kind of laptop I should pick up. Let's see, I would like something quick, able...

So I installed COD 4 today and everything went swell in the installation except when I got to the DirectX part. It said that the software I was installing has not passed the windows logo testing and will not be installed. So I said ok whatever, I have DX9.0c anyway. But every time I try to...

So I'm finally upgrading my PC after about 2 years of having this one and I couldn't be happier. Seeing as all this new tech has come out, I have quite a bit of catching up to do. So here's what I'm thinking: CPU - Q6600 MOBO - Either Abit IP35 pro or Asus blitz extreme RAM - This is where...
