    Building a New PC Soon, but first, some questions.

    Right, so with the advice I've gotten here and browsing the forums I think I've settled on a list of parts. I'd appreciate any feedback anyone would like to give. Processor: Intel i5 3570k OEM...

    Building a New PC Soon, but first, some questions.

    Sorry for the delay in getting back. Thanks for the further replies. Michael31. I'm trying to keep my PC under £700 at the moment. I can go a little over, but would like to try and avoid that if at all possible. My last price check for the parts I was looking at put me just over £700 but I...

    Building a New PC Soon, but first, some questions.

    Hi everyone. I'm looking to build my second PC soon, but I realise in the grand scheme of things there's some basic info which I realise I don't know, and I want to make sure I'm getting the most out of the new PC while at the same time, making sure I don't go overboard and get parts that I...

    Computer Lockups

    I have no idea how I would configure the BIOS to up the voltage, I'd be worried about damaging it. Also as far as I can tell the PSU seems fine. All the readings I've checked seem to indicate that the voltages are at the right levels. Also nothing is overheating as far as I can tell.

    Problems with Unreal 3 Engine Games

    I've run furmark a couple of times using the stability test and it had no problems. I also played Batman: Arkham Asylum there and got past the point it crashed at before with the same settings. The only real thing I can think of is the driversweeper thing. I had it check for nvidia drivers...

    Problems with Unreal 3 Engine Games

    Damn, didn't realise Last Remnant was so bad for ATI cards. It's a shame though because I'm really enjoying it. I hope I won't have to reformat. I was able to play the game there for almost an hour full screen, which is quite rare. I'm going to have to give other games a try too.

    Problems with Unreal 3 Engine Games

    Normally I do partition the hard drive, but when I made this computer last year, I forgot. Strangely I don't have too much to save that I couldn't just redownload, so it'll just be the whole time thing for reinstalling. However saying that, I used a program called gpu-z to measure my temps...

    Problems with Unreal 3 Engine Games

    Update: CCC is back, but now I can't even test the stability of any clocks I might want to try. I've sent a ticket to XFX's support to see what they will say, but regardless, tomorrow it looks like I'll be reformatting and reinstalling. Time to back up everything I want to keep.

    Problems with Unreal 3 Engine Games

    This is getting silly. I uninstalled all the overclocking programs, uninstalled CCC and for good mesure the display driver, used driversweeper and reinstalled, and yet now I'm not getting CCC. Arrgh what is going on.

    I'll try that. I have CCC running but I'm not asking it to control anything, still I'll try that.
