    Moving pixels when moving cursor

    Started MemTest early on Tuesday and left it running until Thursday morning. 28 Passes with no fault but it also seems to have cleared up the problem which makes me think it's a north bridge fault

    Moving pixels when moving cursor

    Not external no. I removed the screen and connected the screen ribbon to a 30 pin 15.6" just for the sake of testing a screen. I didn't have any 30 pin 14" screens to hand to test with

    Moving pixels when moving cursor

    Hi, I have a Dell Latitude 7480 with a bit of a strange issue. The screen has dead pixels that move when the cursor moves. The original screen is 14", I tested with a 15.6" screen and there are no issues so, I did what I thought was obvious and ordered a replacement 14" screen. Now I'm getting...

    Tom's Hardware Giveaway - Just Cause 3!

    Skyrim - This is an obvious answer from anyone that likes to play open world games. The freedom to wander through the vast open fields and snowy mountains, makes this game one of the best to play after a long day at work! It's easy to break away from all the quests and just roam the lands, and I...

    4670k OC To 4.8?

    To be completely honest, I'm only overclocking because I have a k series proc. What length of time should I run prime95 for? Is there anything specific I should keep and eye out for? I've never ran synthetic tests before so It's new to me. Ran Prime95 for approx 3mins and 1 core got 90 max so I...

    4670k OC To 4.8?

    Thanks for the detail Jonny. I'll consider the testing, when I was at 1.250v I got a bsod after an hour of gaming so I've pushed it to 1.265 which seems fine

    4670k OC To 4.8?

    Under load it maxxed about 55, I haven't run any synthetic tests because the way I see it is if it can handle what I'd usually use it for then the oc is good. The thermal paste I'm using is arctic silver.

    4670k OC To 4.8?

    Sound Card Issues On 8.1

    Just to be clear this isn't on-board audio and the sound card worked perfect on 7 the same day I decided to install 8.1, I also downloaded all the latest drivers before installing 8.1 and my sound card is fairly old now so doesn't get driver updates often.
