I don't have this problem so it must not exist. I kid. I don't have this issue, but I remember I used to have connectivity issues with my old router and Windows 7. The problem was first noticed when a WII and an Apple device were connected. I solved the issue by disabling IPv6 on all devices...

Hardware requirements and Games for Windows arguments. If the gaming companies want sell 2 million copies then they need to release games that the PCs of their 2 million target audience can play. That's simple. The Games for Windows argument as to Crysis not getting enough publicity makes...

Good to know. I was looking for a boom mic without the headset but now I'll stick to my poorly designed Plantronics which squeeze the front of my ears and temples.

Well, first I'll say what I like about XFX. They have solid support and in this day that's almost miraculous. However, I did purchase 2 cards, one AGP and the other PCI-E. The AGP stopped working after 6 weeks(RMA'd after email support) and the PCI-E (yet to RMA since I will be moving) started...

I've used original ATI cards since the first All-in-wonder. I had a problem with the AIW 9700 version after about 6 months and replaced it at the store since ATI makes you jump through hoops for an RMA. The replacement worked fine and is still working. The AIW 9800 version was fine for about 2...

I'm assuming you swapped back the old card and the problem went away. If that's the case I'd say you need to return the new card.

Fantastic info. Thanks all.

Only if you consider registering on their forum being banned.

I wouldn't have cared if the card didn't die. Good luck.

Not Sapphire. Tech support for me has been abysmal (non-existent).

I read somewhere to be sure and use 2 different rails when plugging in the molexes. I have a similar issue with a Sapphiretech x1600pro agp. It's not a power issue since I just purchased a new Rosewill 550w PSU and it had the same symptoms as with the old thermaltake 480w PSU. During...

Does it exist? How long does it take for them to answer the support tickets on their site? I've sent 2 tickets over the past 2+weeks and registered on the forum. I haven't received any info back not even a confirmation email about the tickets and can't even post on their forum. If this is the...

From everything I've read so far, I'd say the 8600GTS. Best good performance for the not too much.

Has anyone done the calculations that a simpleton like me could understand? I wouldn't keep 600 watts of lights on for hours every day. No, I don't go behind people shutting off the lights, but I did change most of the bulbs to compact flourescents. I keep my PC on an awful long time. My...

Thanks guys. The 5200 is agp 8x, it just doesn't use a power connector. I'm going to order this Rosewill RT550-135-BK 550W 135mm Fan SLI Ready - ATX V2.2/EPS12V. Just in case it is the motherboard that's flaking I'll have an upgrade worthy PSU.
