    Question Safe to Sell?

    Hey guys, I'm building a new gaming computer because my old system wasn't cutting it anymore, and we've got Crysis 2020 (Cyberpunk 2077) to test. What I need help with though is that I'm leery to sell my old one because of the boot issues it was experiencing but I THINK I may have figured it...

    Church Presentation Computer Build

    Thanks for your answer. I guess I just get confused when I see people making reviews saying "The A10 can handle some games in 1080p, and all in 720p". Then I think, wait I have a 1600x1200 and a 1080p display, how will it run that? I know games are different, but I also didn't realize they...

    Quick cooling question

    The best thing to do is to have equal output to input. The 680s aren't pulling air the the outside really, they are just using your case air. For example, if you had two on the door blowing out, I would put 1 pulling in from the front, and 1 pulling in from the back. If you think it's best...

    Built a new computer. Power with no beep code. Please help

    Also, try to remove anything not essential. Optical drives, even the hard drive just to see if it will post without it. On top of that, reseat everything, even the CPU and all the power supply cords. Try a different outlet while you are at it too. If not the power supply or CPU, and...

    nivida gt440 and gt630

    I agree with lostgamer. Also, you can find the dimensions of the 630 from where you buy it usually. Then just measure that space in your case where your PCI-Ex x16 slot it and that will tell you if it fits.

    Built a new computer. Power with no beep code. Please help

    That can happen that a PSU will work one computer but not another; and truthfully it doesn't have to be that there isn't enough wattage. Some power supplies do not like some computers. Proof here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7TiFYm3vpw

    Built a new computer. Power with no beep code. Please help

    Sounds exactly like a bad PSU. Everything starts up, acts like it's going to come on, but no POST or beeps. If you have another PSU lying around, put it in and see if you get the same result. If not, take one out of another PC if you are absolutely sure everything if hooked up right...

    Church Presentation Computer Build

    So the Proclaim calling for at least a 1GB dedicated video card probably isn't taking into account APUs I guess.. I appreciate all the help guys, really, thanks a lot! Now that that's settled I can save the church $100-$200 by going with the APU instead of buying a CPU and GPU. I'm going to...

    Church Presentation Computer Build

    Would the A10 be able to run a 1080p display and a 1600x1200 extended display with no problems, even with videos streaming to both? If not I'm thinking about going with a FX-6300 and a dedicated GPU like a 7750. I'd just really hate to tell the church to buy an A10 and then once we get it the...

    System keeps freezing, BSOD

    Try these things. 1. Unplug it from the wall and hold the power button to drain the power. Remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard for 15 minutes or so. Replace and try again. 2. Remove all power and data cables and reconnect. Also check them for damage while you do this. 3. Re-seat...

    Why are games harder to play than videos?

    I know this is kind of a dumb question, but I've always wondered; how come low-end PCs can play videos of big explosions and high detail objects no problem, but when it comes to gaming, a much much higher end GPU is needed? I mean, you can go onto YouTube with a sucky computer, watch a...

    Pentium D 925 Bottlenecking?

    Hey guys/gals, I play Crysis 2 and so far it has been the most demanding game that I play on my desktop. The problem is that I think my CPU is bottlenecking my graphics card. The reason why I think this is because the game takes quite awhile to start up, but once I get to the menu it runs...
