    Display blacks out if dark

    The problem Whenever I'm watching a video that has a very dimly lit scene where it is mostly blank, the display turns black as if the video stopped but the audio was still ongoing, thus I concluded it's a display problem.

    File copying problem to microSDHC card via USB card reader

    Hi, I am having problems transferring files to my microSDHC card via my USB card reader. It copies for 1 second and just stops. When I click cancel, it'll take forever to cancel and I will have to plug the USB card reader out for the "cancelling" window to close. This happens on my computer...

    Hard disk activity peaks and freezes

    Erm okay. Another symptom. It might not be GPU related anymore. Just opened up Steam, and the hard disk activity peaked and it was not responding for awhile. (Steam is installed in the problem hard disk) I'll go switch the ram speed back to 800 and observe.

    Hard disk activity peaks and freezes

    I have 2 hard drives. 1 for windows and other stuff and the other just for games. It's a Seagate 500GB hard disk which I have for about a year plus. What happens is while I'm playing Warcraft III (DotA) or Modern Warfare 2, the game will occasionally just freeze up and the hard disk activity...
