    When playing LoL the screen turns black for a second, then recovers. Also strobe light effect on certain websites.

    New story: Put in a different GPU (Geforce 970) and it still happens. So I guess it's a different part causing the problem.

    When playing LoL the screen turns black for a second, then recovers. Also strobe light effect on certain websites.

    So a few weeks ago my computer started having this problem when I would play LoL. The screen turns black for about a second, then turns back on, and there is no error message saying it was a display driver error (I used to get those, but then new drivers solved that problem). Also, when viewing...

    CPU usage at 100% with four programs being at 25% each. Causing computer to run slow, IE not responding frequently.

    Yesterday I was at work, and I was doing work on the computer with Internet Explorer. I noticed it was "not responding" every 30 seconds or so, and was just running slow. I opened task manager, and the CPU usage was at 100%. Memory usage was normal, not high or anything. I sorted the list of...

    Bit and Hz in the Sound options. Will it make my sound better through my headphones?

    I was looking in the Sound options, under Properties for my Corsair Vengeance 2100 wireless headset. It seems like I could make the sound quality go from 16 bit, 44100 Hz (cd quality) to 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality). I don't have a dedicated sound card. It is onboard audio from my...

    Should I keep this expensive wireless network card that I have, or exchange it for a powerline adapter?

    I'd like to point out my brother has a wireless extender in his room. Would this interfere with a powerline adapter, or vice versa?

    Should I keep this expensive wireless network card that I have, or exchange it for a powerline adapter?

    I bought an ASUS PCE-AC68 wireless adapter to connect to the router. It cost $100, and is AC1900. I was wondering if I could buy a powerline adapter for equal or lesser cost, and would it be better? The reason I'm asking is 1) I'd like to save money and 2) the card keeps connecting to the 5.2...

    Trying to find the best wireless PCIe card for my router.

    My router is a Verizon one. I looked on the sticker and it is an Actiontec MI424WR Revision 1 router. I searched online for product info but had trouble finding exactly what I need. Here is a link to the product's .pdf manual...

    My wireless network at home cuts out occasionally. Am I using an outdated wireless card, or is it breaking?

    The guy at the store said a USB adapter is best. They're faster and more popular, and they didn't even sell wireless PCI cards. Maybe I'll get one if the problem persists. But I have a wireless network extender in the house, and I connected to that instead of to the wireless router. Seems to be...

    My wireless network at home cuts out occasionally. Am I using an outdated wireless card, or is it breaking?

    Occasionally when I'm playing a game or browsing websites the wireless signal drops dramatically, or just cuts out completely. It can last for minutes, and most of the time I restart my computer and it works. The wireless adapter is a Linksys WMP600N Dual-Band Wireless-N PCI Adapter. It's...

    Most powerful graphics card that is also quiet for $230?

    I'm looking to spend up to $230 for the most powerful graphics card, but it has to be quiet. I'm tired of graphics cards that sound like jet engines. Any good finds?

    Will the Hyper 212 EVO fit on an Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z?

    Will the Hyper 212 EVO fit on an Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z? It looks like it would hit the memory slots if it was mounted horizontally. So I was wondering if anyone has mounted it vertically. Just trying to save some time and effort by asking hear. I searched elsewhere and couldn't find an answer.
