Also do you have the speaker plugged into the motherboard? And if so do you hear any beeps when it freezes.

I would check your ram with memtest86+ to rule out any issues with ram first. I would inspect the motherboard to cover all your bases. Try to run on onboard video or the intergrated if you have it. And Make sure you don't have any competing drivers causing an issue. At first it sounds like the...

Well if it's okay with your friend I would Ebay them. Should be able to get close to $300 depends on the card models.

Really need to run 3Dmark or something to see whats going on.

Check your motherboard to make sure it doesn't require an additional 4 pin power connected for CF. You would see it above the first pci-e slot. Make sure the CF bridge is attached correctly. I always use both but you really need one. Update drivers!!! Also if the second 6990 is an older...

MSI has a higher core clock and higher boost of 1000mhz go with MSI. MSI Core clock 933mhz Sapphire 850mhz Plus it's a better company nothing against sapphire I have owned there cards without any complaints.

Sorry Nvidia and Ati don't play together nicely. :-) It's impossible to use them both. They will not CF or Sli. I would personally sell both cards and get a free upgrade. If it's okay will your friends of course.

If you have time I would check your local stores for an anti-static bag. They might be hard to find I always save mine. I would wrap it in bubble wrap and make sure it's packed tight. It should be fine even without an anti-static bag. You need a huge static discharge to damage components that...

Use the usb to ps/2 adapter. What version of windows are you using?

I'm not a fan of the naga or razer. There lazers aren't the best regardless of what people say. I had a first generation naga and it was terrible. I would personally stick with logitech or another company. If all you play are mmo games then a mmo mouse is great. But I would get a 128gb ssd...

Yes ati 7790s are entry lvl gaming cards you will see a big difference with a 270 and huge diffence with a 280.

If you live in the USA and you have a microcenter in your state drive there it's worth the trip. They give unbelievable system builder deals check out there website. If you want interest free with no payments for a year try newegg.

Never bought from them but they have been around awhile. It's like buying from a cyberpower or Ibuypower. There a big reseller of sager. I would just cover yourself by using a good credit card to make the purchase. If I remember right they give a discount for cash. But I do believe they are...

CF gives you about a %50 boost. The game has to have a CF profile to work properly. If the game does not the second card will not work. Make sure the fans start up on the second card when you start to play or simple go into ati control panel. Not sure about the psu probably will be okay...

If the cpu fan was bad the laptop would be shutting down. You can replace the fans over the gpu and cpu with better ones but it's a pain. Most of the heat is probably coming from your gpu. If your playing games on it then it's normal get a laptop cooler to lay it on.
