    Warped rainbow effect on Metroid Prime Trilogy game disc after being left in the cold?

    EDIT: I looked at the disc again while in the car (which is where I initially looked at it before leaving it in the cold) and didn't see the rainbow effect so I'm assuming that the coldness didn't affect the game. Input on the visual quality of the disc is still appreciated, though. I'm just...

    Received GTX 580 from RMA and monitor still displays green dots

    Well, I finally managed to get a friend to come over to let me test my PC with his monitor and it worked. As a last chance effort, I plugged the PC back into my original monitor and there no longer appears to be anything wrong with it :??: . Does anyone happen to have any idea what fixed it...

    Received GTX 580 from RMA and monitor still displays green dots

    A little while ago my computer started displaying green dots on my monitor screen. This happened right after I pulled my GPU out to blow dust out with a can of air. Well, based on what I read on the internet, the best thing to do was to simply RMA it, so I did. I just received my GPU from EVGA...

    Green dots on screen after re-installing GPU

    Occasional faint staticky/clicking noise from PSU

    I have researched this online, but have been getting rather varied answers overall so I figured that I'd just ask here. I have an HX580W Corsair power supply which I got about 6 months ago. Occasionally, it will make sort of a faint staticky, clicking noise that you can't quite hear unless you...

    Should I download my games on my HDD but install them on my SSD?

    I'm just wondering if this would be a good idea since it'd save valuable space. Also, would this cause my games to load slower than they normally would if both the download and the install were on the SSD?

    Is it ok to turn computer on and off when no OS is installed?

    Hi, I've just built my first PC and I've been testing it by turning it on an off via the power button just to make sure that things are operating as they should. However, since I haven't received the DVD drive that I ordered in the mail yet, I haven't been able to install the OS. My question is...
