    Firefox texts get distorted/pixelated.

    I'm not sure how best to put this into words, but here goes. Sometimes while I'm scrolling through pages on Firefox, there will be a line or two where the text gets sort of cracked or fractured, like how the road seems when you look at a crack in your windshield, and then goes back to normal. I...

    Can't find any server upon startup.

    I've actually found out that it's steam doing it after I boot up my computer. It verifies the installation, then my network usage shoots up to ~14% and I'm unable to connect to the internet unless I end the Steam.exe process.

    Can't find any server upon startup.

    For the past few days, whenever I would start up my computer, upon reaching the desktop and trying to access the internet (using firefox), it'd immediately say that it cannot connect to any website's server.

    Well the tests didn't say anything was wrong. :\ Maybe something is just off balance inside of it? Another thing I should mention is that it only has a few steam games on it (other HDD got full), and it goes away (for at least a few hours) whenever I start up one of the games.

    Hard drive makes a slight vibration...

    I just got a new WD Black 2 TB hard drive about a month and a half ago, and it's been doing fine, up until about two weeks or so ago. Upon startup, it'll start making this slight vibration tic every few seconds (about 5-6 second intervals). It's a pretty strong, noticeable vibration, as I can...

    MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard problem.

    Now, I'm new to building my own computer, and my lingo isn't up to par, but just try to bear with me. I bought this motherboard a few days ago, and after getting it all installed, I turn it on, and run the setup. Everything looks fine, so i save and reboot. It starts back up again, and...
