First off, I am 100% sure the graphics card or software relating to the graphics card is the problem. I have swapped it over with a friends and my computer will work fine with his GPU but his will not work fine with my GPU. I have used driver sweeper and re-installed up to date drivers. I can...

8pin cord plugged into motherboard?

On allot of games my computer with freeze. If I press CTRL+ALT+DEL and then cancel it'll usually unfreeze for a short period of time. The freezing never lasts for ever, but it does get pretty bad and it's constantly happening, making most games unplayable. My guess is an issue with graphics...

Hey, I'm building my second computer, but first with integrated graphics as this computer will not need much performance in the graphics department. Everything was in place looking fine, but when I booted the computer up it just left my Monitor on a black screen. I'm really not sure what's...

Hey just a quick question. What does max shared memory mean in relation to supporting graphics card. I'm looking at a motherboard that supports a max of 1760MB shared memory, but I am buying a graphics card with 2gb memory. Does this mean that they will not be compatable? Or something else. Thanks.

Yeah, I looked into the reasons why you'd go either way and discovered that having an i-5 compared to an i7 does very little for gameing. Though I use my computer for many other things. Probably nothing that i7 has a huge affect on, but that's mainly because I haven't been able to use them with...

Also, changing RAM to G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM (2x4GB) DDR3 - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=186_538_913&products_id=16934 Realized the other RAM wouldn't be compatable with my procesor.

Hmm, ok. Would it be worth paying the extra for the Intel Core i7 3820 oposed to other suggested options? I will change to that power supply, cheeper and I don't think I needed the extra 100 watts. What's wrong with the SSD? Any suggestions of a better one?

*Fixed. Sorry about that. Stupid of me.

Hey everyone. I am neering purchasing all the parts for my first computer parts! I just want to make sure all the parts will work together as well if there's something I shoul change. Also if you know where I can get any of the parts cheeper that'd be great also, keep in mind I live in Australia...

No, I think the connector that it needs to go in is orange. It's got the right size one, but it doesn't have a slit on one side like it needs. It's just got holes.
