I didn't know which forum this would fit under so I'm just gonna post it here. I got a new laptop charger today, since my old one broke. I turn on my laptop and it goes to "resuming windows". After about 15 seconds it blue screens, then shuts down. Now the thing won't turn on at all. It's like...

So I'm currently OC'ing my main rig (i7 950 and Rampage III Extreme) and I've hit a bit of a snag. 3.3 Ghz was perfectly fine, my temps were between 50-55(all temps are in Celsius) when running Prime95. Now I'm up to 3.8 Ghz (my goal is 4.2), and my temps when running Prime95 are between 80-85...

Hey, all, so I finally got my computer back and working after about 2 and a half months of dealing with some terrible service and RMAs and whatnot...and my fan controller that is part of my case kinda broke. I'm using a Thermaltake Element V Black Edition case, if you want to see the controller...

So, about 2 months ago, my week old R3E got fried somehow. Since I was still covered by the 15 day guarantee that my vendor gives, I brought it to them to see what the problem was. Apparently it was a surge that damaged the 12V connector. I thought it odd that a surge would fry the board when I...

Not 100% certain this is the right place for this thread, so if it isn't, well then mods, feel free to move it or close it or whatever. So my motherboard got fried about a month ago now. At the time, I was still covered by the store's 15 day warranty, so I brought it to them, and they said...

Alright, so I'm a pretty big gamer, but I'm also studying in a 3D animation course, mostly using Maya and Zbrush, but some other programs might be used as well. My current rig has 2 GTX 460s (1GB) in SLI. Will these two be strong enough to handle using Maya and Zbrush, or will I have to get a...

Hey all, a friend of mine is looking to build a new PC and asked for my help. Normally, not a problem, but with the budget he has set, I'm having extreme trouble. He has a 700 CAD budget. The good news is that he isn't looking for a gaming machine. However, he will be using Photoshop, Maya...

So I've confirmed that my motherboard in my new PC is fried, which really sucks as I shelled out extra cash to pick up an Asus Rampage III Extreme and have it crap out a couple of days after the purchase. Sadly, tomorrow is the last day of the store's 15 day warranty, whether it's pretty much...

I figured it would be much easier to upgrade graphics cards than to upgrade the PSU, CPU or Motherboard, so I put most of my budget towards that with the intent of adding on as soon as funds allow. Right now I'm not looking at running more than 2 GTX 460s in SLI and MAYBE a PhysX card, on one...

So I just got a new PC last week. I had it built instead of building it myself due to circumstances, was working spectacularly but I didn't like the wiring job, everything was just dumped in front of the mobo, so thursday I decided to rewire it. I made sure I was grounded, made sure the power...
