I appreciate the responses! Not too much of those around, but I did find some.. Was hoping for something better than luck but I get it :D Hmmm.. interesting point about the heatsinks - thing is nowdays I cannot even distinguish between a proper heatsink and those plastic cover things...

How do you pick a motherboard if you have very little requirements in terms of features (I dont feel like I want much other than a PCI-E 4 for the gpu)? I am kind of assuming it might not be the best idea to go for the lowest price - but then again I have no idea how to tell whether or not this...

Hi, I was wondering, if there is a downside to launching Windows (7 in my case) not from a regular BIOS boot, but using the Ubuntu Windows 7 loader option. Since I installed grub on 14.04 I obviously cant boot Windows in the regular fashion and so I would like to know, if it is worth it...

Hello, I know there are probably threads that have more or less the same theme but I figured its better to ask. My rig is basically a i5-4570, 8GB DDR3 (2x4), 256 SSD and 560Ti. Right now I am using a 450W PSU. Since my 560Ti failed (all the colors are messed up and I think its gone for good) I...

Hello, (not sure if this is the correct category) I want to make a simple siren circuit for my grandad, but don't have much experience with building circuits. So far I have picked a siren http:// and an ON-OFF switch rated 250V/6A (http:// http://), so that when he flicks it we will hear him...

@Arronleads allright - I am going to try that.. and if I find out it is in fact my gpu, is there any point in figuring out what precisely it is? running mem tests and so on? or is basically the only option just buying a new one?

Sorry though it would be visible :) i5-4570 msi B85-G41 crucial ballistix 8GB gigabyte GTX 560Ti samsung 840pro 256GB chieftec 450W CTG-450-80P @Arronleeds I used to have an overclock (stable), but I use the default settings now.. unfortunately anything I try playing makes it crash. It even...

Hello, I am having some issues with my GTX 560Ti. It's an older card, and I¨ve had it for some time, but has held up pretty admirably so far. I just downloaded Dragon Age:Orogons - so it should have no problems with it, but the screen went funny after a few minutes. After that, random...

@Kavster001 No, after I am promted whether I want to boot regular Windows or the emergeny mode (or what it is called) for all I cat tell, the system is running just fine. @JR1988 Is there any way to determine, which one is is? And how did it star having problems just now?

Hello, I am having some issues with my sister's computer. Her system crashed a few days ago, and because all the hardware is fairly old, I swapped my motherboard (with a CPU and RAM) with my old one. They are identical. Core 2 Quad 9300 RAM 4GB Corsair DDR2 Intel DQ35JOE MB NVidia 9800GTX What...

That is probably exactly what I am looking for :) awesome :) thanks again

that is a little out of my budget - if I could trouble you for a last one - any other ideas for a cheaper one?

Thank you for the answer :) so fi I am not going to get a K processor, I wont be able to overclock - so if I were to choose the i5-4570 for instance, should I just get the cheapes motherboard on the market? Or could the motherboard slow something down? Becuase if I won't be able to overclock...
