Hi. I'm experiencing ntoskrnl.exe crash every time when I open a video and a game (not GPU heavy) at the same time. It acts normal for like 5mins then the monitor goes black and the sound stop. GPU/CPU temp is below 80.C. I wonder if this is a hardware issue or some setting malfunction...

Hi all. I have a Samsung 2443BW monitor for almost 8yrs. Although it still works fine, I feel it can't show much detail in dark area, which makes me pissing off while im gaming/watching movies. I wonder if I should consider buying a new monitor or a color calibrator?

Hi all. I have a concert MKV file which contain DTS 24/96 audio format, but when I played it on PowerDVD15, it said the output is "LPCM 16/48". So I wonder What do I need to play the "correct" sound quality to my headphone. I do not have a sound card. I'm using the PC onboard chipset for...

Asus STX II would be my first choice if I decide to buy a sound card. But it's bit troublesome to plug headphone into the back of my PC case (or use extended cable which i think may affect quality?) I Just want to know if there is an external USB DAC can provide me better or at least similar...

Thank you for your advice But would it be better if i use USB DAC instead?

Hi all. I'm planning to buy a DAC and a over-ear headphone. Total budget would be around $500, so...$250each maybe? My song list is quite long, from pop song to band (Linkin Park & Within Temptation) to classical piano. Also of course, movie (EXPLOSION!!!) I'm not sure what kind of DAC would...
