    Gaming mice with 4000+ DPI... What for?

    Huh, I thought I was the only one having troubles with the vehicles in BF3... Yeah, not sure what they were thinking, but the sensitivity difference between shooting when you're on foot and in vehicle is just badong.

    Gaming mice with 4000+ DPI... What for?

    Hey guys, I don't know what happened but I didn't seem to get the emails informing me about this thread, sorry about that... But I just read over it and this is some good discussion. I bought the Razer Orochi (because I loved the fact that it could be either wired or wireless), and I think I've...

    CPU or GPU Bottleneck?

    Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. Like I said, I'm not looking for any upgrade nor would I be able to do it if I wanted to anyway. This is completely based on my curiosity... So I did some test with the same game (F1 2011), and there was something odd going on. I tried playing the game with...

    CPU or GPU Bottleneck?

    Hey guys I have a laptop with a i5-450M and a GT335M. I've noticed that when I'm playing games, it seems to be running smooth and then at one point it will start lagging, especially at like explosions and stuff (Crysis 2), but overall it seems to be running smooth. BTW I was running Crysis 2 at...

    Razer Onza / Xbox Controller

    Hi guys, I'm currently in the market for a controller to be used for my racing games, because playing realistic racing games on the keyboard is just not working at all. I'm looking at the first party Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller for Windows and the Razer Onza right now, since they're...

    Freezes with no warning/BSOD, no HDD activity either.

    Thanks for the reply! I noticed that the system load and the temperature were very high compared to the average load when I'm just surfing the web and stuff. I know that my CPU gets to around 40-60% load when I'm gaming, and temperatures are at around 90 degrees*. Anyway, the system was acting...

    Freezes with no warning/BSOD, no HDD activity either.

    Guys, I just observed that when the system freezes up, it's actually responding, but very very very slowly... The hard drive activity light lights up every now and then, and if I move the mouse, it takes like 2 minutes for it to move. I tried CTR+ALT+DEL, and it worked, because the screen turned...

    Freezes with no warning/BSOD, no HDD activity either.

    Detailed version: Well, as the name suggests, I've stumble over some issues with Windows 7 lately. Before I had a partition running Ubuntu on my system, but I've recently removed it (just deleted the whole partition, I know there has to be a safer way of doing that, I just didn't even bother...

    This is the Windows 8 Welcome and Lock Screen

    Guys this isn't that bad! You spend like what, one minute everyday on this screen? Why all the whining and complaining?! Besides, if it's the background image that's bothering you, you could always change it to fit your own taste!

    Laptop powers out without warning during gaming!

    Hi there, thanks for the quick reply. As I was saying before, since the computer did the same thing when I was doing some Prime95 tests, I would assume that it's not GPU related... Also, I think I might have a lead... I was running some games again, and CPU was hitting 100C (Yes, that's...

    Laptop powers out without warning during gaming!

    Hello guys, I will try to make this as brief as possible. Just a few days ago, I was still gaming and using the laptop just fine, and then today, when I tried to play a game, the laptop just shuts down after around 10-30min of game play. Here's the catch, the problem is not with the game, it's...
