Hi guys, wondering if anyone here can offer some advice before I resort to a new card and GPU (maybe time for an update, anyway but still...) So, I was playing a game and the PC crashed to gray screen, unresponsive to alt-tab etc. Powered off and on. When windows was loading the drivers after...

Hey, guys. I've been running my current rig for a while now but I've run into some problems and I know this isn't a place for troubleshooting but I didn't see a specific area for that and I trust you guys to know your stuff. If the hardware's buggered (as I suspect), then I would also like...

Hey guys. I'm running a pair of Powercolor 7850s in crossfire. I was running Vantage with the stock clocks (860Mhz), got to about X19500. Then, I used ASUS GPU Tweak to knock it up to 1050Mhz (I've tried other software, too). This time, the result was around X18500. The max temp was in the...

Hey there. I'll admit I know next to nothing about this stuff, really need some advice here. So, I have 4x4 GB Mushkin Radioactive RAM sticks installed. They're running at 800Mhz according to CPU-Z. I have an AsRock Z77 Extreme4 1155 motherboard. In the UEFI, I have the following DRAM...

Well, I've already got this machine up and running. There are some videos of the build and stuff but unfortunately my internet has gone to piddle and I have no idea why; So the vids aren't going to see the light of day until that's sorted. I tried pinging my brother's PC across the LAN and...

OK, so I have a horrible Dell laptop that has a decent processor and decent RAM / HDD etc., basically stuff that wasn't made by Dell. Will these parts fit into another motherboard like a mini ITX / Micro ATX board? Also, is it possible to attach the laptop's screen (ribbon connector) to...

One for any prog rockers out there. IMO, this is the best recorded performance of the material and it's a hell of a spectacle if you haven't seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKxt-fOCB1s

Anybody know where to get one of these in the UK, or have any opinions on it? I'm considering trying to get one but I've no idea if I can get my hands on it in the UK.

So, I'm going to be building a black and yellow themed PC in a little bit and I've rigorously stuck to that scheme excepting that I've already bought an HD 7850 with a red PCB and now want to hide it. Found a (seriously overpriced IMO) backplate for reference models only but mine isn't. Then I...

Hey guys. Been hanging around for a little while. Basically, wanted some quick advice on a little, basic gaming build I was doing that has now snowballed into a proper build and a little side-build because I was having so much fun researching and planning, so it looks like I'll hang out here...

OK, so a couple of weeks ago, I decided I would like a decent desktop PC after years of trying to get by with a laptop (overheating like crazy, inability to play games etc.). So, since I'd never done my own build but was eager to give it a go, I decided, quite incorrectly, it'd be easier to get...
