temps arent a problem. and this oc im sure is stable. i mentioned it in the OP

basically as the title says. So I could be doing anything. and it happens extremely random and inconsistent. Sometimes It can crash once a week, once every 2 days, or 2 times a day. The whole screen freezes and a sound loop on the audio (if i was playing anything with audio based) and i...

Alright man, thanks! I sort of new that answer already, but I wanted another person's knowledge and opinion on it. Thanks for your reply.

I have an i5-3330 and managed to OC it to 3.4Ghz with an AsRock Z77 Extreme 4. I'm also running an EVGA GTX 970 OC'ed to 1450 Mhz. I can run Battlefield 4 locked at 70 fps, all Ultra, 4x MSAA. CPU can sit around 80-100% (50C tops) in 64p games, where my 970 barely hits 45C. lol :P Though, I...

Well I had a mobo short yesterday. I got a new motherboard AsRock Z77 Extreme 4, and everything was working good CPU and GPU work fine. I then tried to install my harddrives (SSD and 2 HDD) and they did not recognize in the bios. I also tried plugging them into another computer and they were not...

I'm very livid at the moment. I was so excited to grab my GTX 970 today. So as I get my 970, I come home and simply plug it into my board. I turn on the power, and my computer flashes for one second then completely shuts off. I disconnect the card and try different outlets and power cables, and...

Can anyone help me please?

I just updated it. My bad.

I've been getting some bad CPU stuttering in games recently. This monitor is just after I re-installed my OS on my SSD. http://imgur.com/XuAtcXM Is this the CPU having trouble? It seems as there is more use of the first core, than the 3rd or 4th. I did have a scare moment where I noticed...

I'm running a GTX 660 with a 1600x900 monitor right now as i type this. It will run games very well since it is not 1080p, but still looks much better than 720p. Also, any quad-core CPU will do fine with this. I would recommend an i5 since the i7 is overdoing it, but it's your choice. The same...

A new monitor won't enhance your physical performance, but will of course enhance the visual. So buying any new graphics card will suit you much better.

Ran the same exact card in one of my first builds. I ran a solid 400W PSU and it worked great.

Some of the best monitors I've seen are BenQ and LG. For gaming, you want the lowest response time. So a 1 milisecond monitor or even 2 m/s monitor from either one of those companies will do the trick. But if you don't wanna be too specific, any good 1080p monitor will do as well. Most...
