    FPS stutter, high DPC latency dxgkrnl.sys and nvlddmkm.sys

    This is a known issue and NVIDIA claimed that a future driver update will try to fix this. You'll have to wait till then.

    AMD CPU speculation... and expert conjecture

    The latest leaked roadmap shows that Piledriver will most likely continue in 2014.Both AMD and Intel will maintain status quo as far as the desktop CPU market is concerned. AMD sees that Intel has slowed down with Haswell and things will not get heated till Skylake arrives in 2015. Steamroller...

    Not seeing secondary HDD

    Have you tried reinstalling the motherboard drivers?

    Random shutdown, GPU fan @ full speed, Now, not starting again.

    You need to check each component separately. Try to run the computer without the Graphics card at first, using the on board graphics. Then try with one stick of RAM, etc. The last change that you made that does not make your PC turn on is the likely problem. That does not mean that its the only...

    8800gts heat problem

    Which 8800GTS is it? G80 GPU or G92 GPU? If its the G80 one, then those temps are quite normal. If its the G92 version, those temps a a bit warm, but nothing I'd worry about. A PSU with lower wattage doesn't generally affect GPU temperatures.

    Which 680 brand?

    Yes, based on Tom's review of the GTX 670 version, I'd also go with the Gigabyte card.

    6870 Wont display on my monitor

    Could be a broken GPU - try it out in another PC if possible, if it does not work then it might as well be dead.

    Upgrade from 6850?

    Yeah, the HD 7850 will be a good upgrade from a HD 6850. It will max out all games at 1680x1050 and will be good enough for gaming at 1920x1200, should you get a new monitor in the future.

    Web Browser Grand Prix: Chrome 18, Firefox 11, Windows XP

    Yes, Opera is the best browser out-of-the-box, but I've seen that sometimes it takes a long time to load a page and there is no way to tell if its done or not. On complex websites it keeps showing Elements 87/88 and it seems like its stuck at that point. Anyways, Firefox is my primary browser...

    Should i get an intel or amd processor for gaming?

    Go for the i3 2100 as Intel is going to take time releasing the entire Ivy Bridge lineup.

    FX8120 Temperature Confusion...

    Minor variations(read: 2 or 3 degrees) between different programs is normal. You seem to get readings that are very different from each other, but seeing that you get around 50 degrees under load, things are quite normal. Try a BIOS update to see if it fixes the problem with different readings.

    Help me choose my upgrade path please

    Please use some paragraphing - it makes it easier for us to read. I suggest that you get yourself a Core i3 2100 coupled with a H67 motherboard which would be a better choice given the current state of AMD in the CPU market. As for the video card, I suggest the Radeon HD 7750 which can be found...
