I've just flashed my sniper 2 with the uefi u1c BIOS to accommodate an ivy bridge chip and the PC boots with a normal single beep but no matter what I press I cannot get beyond the splash screen. I've unplugged all USB devices except the keyboard. Tried changing the USB ports for keyboard...

Ive been thinking of upgrading my sandy bridge rig; I know the gains will prob be 20% at best but like most serial builders I have `the bug`. The spare dough will either go to my mrs or my hobby! I was considering the GIGABYTE Z97X-Gaming G1 WiFi-BK board and wondered if anyone owns it and wha...

Hi Everyone, Ive got a bizarre issue. I was tinkering with a few beta bioses trying to increase OC however no-matter how many times I reflash the bios or change CMOS battery or even do clean windows install I cant get the system to keep the correct time. As soon as I switch the computer back on...

I`m the proud owner of this platinum unit however lately I can only power up by switching on the PSU switch. The case switch does work but only when powering off. Sometimes I have to switch it off & on repeatedly (3-6 times) but once the PC powers up its absolutely fine with no unexpected...

Noticed playing Battlefield 4 that my FPS would drop from 60-70 to barely 40 and after some investigating the msi 280x gaming edition was dropping core clock speed to idle- 300-500 MHZ owing to high temp, 90 celcius but well within design parameters! There are no bios fixes for the UEFI bios...

As the title suggests been routinely getting `nvidia driver stopped responding error....` whilst playing battlefield 3. I`ve googled this and looks like its a common problem. I have cured it by increasing the voltage and sticking to the 310.54 drivers. However just wanted to say i`ve never...
