EDIT - I installed all windows update, MOBO Bios and had AMD auto select the best driver for my GPU, i have the mobo driver but i dont know how to install it
EDit 2- at best buy. God I really want the k70 RGB and m65 RGB So badly....it would cost 180 or so for both ... 🙁
 
I have already seen that video. The guy was not an idiot. He probably hasn't had the car long and hasn't had the chance to experience how the gradual traction control works yet. If you look he clearly expects the rear to step out when the steps on it and steers into it appropriately. In any other car he would have continued on straight and and not had any issues. He knew what to do. What he wasn't expecting was the electronic rear differential to balance the load between the wheels. The read diff shifted the power and hooked the car left. Same thing would have happened to anyone else driving it had they not experienced the diff before.

The guy was not a moron. I hate ignorant articles like this. Really piss me off.

M- Congrats on having the PC back! Must feel nice.
 
Tiny - typical BMW driver.... And thanks!

Anyone have any ideas on why after reinstalling corsair link cause the info wasnt showing, it now cant detect my H100i? Its not the USB cause it worked before i reinstalled it and i tried regedit and I cant find anything on google that helps...H100I logo is purple atm -_- gosh after seeing those RGB K70 and M65, i really want them lol
 
Typical BMW driver? Quite the opposite. I would say the "typical BMW driver" has no knowledge of motorsport or car control and is only after a badge. The guy clearly knew what he was doing. Anyone with any level of motorsport or skid control knowledge would be able to see it. He simply wasn't expecting the car to react the way it did (non typically). IF it had been any other RWD car, he would have been 100% fine and carried on his marry way.

The fact that he jumped the curb shows that he knew what to do. When the rear steps out, you counter steer. He did just that. He simply didn't plan for the car to change the power delivery on him. If he had just spun the tires and gone on straight, then I would say he is a typical BMW driver because he didn't try to control the skid at all. The car handled it. This is what THIS car is designed to do, but any normal RWD car needs some help from the steering to go straight when spinning the tires.
 
A) I said it was crazy. I didn't say anything about his driving skills.
"It’s all because he got cocky and the M4′s torque put him in his place." I already know it wasn't his fault and the BMW in question has the gradual traction control. I simply put up the link because it had the video and was right there when I opened the browser again after a crash.
B)Mira- Uninstall it in safe mode and reinstall it in regular mode. That should do the trick.
 
Jim - Yeah I saw that video...it didnt help me but let me try again.

edit - Actually i may have done with wrong. I only changed the first one to all 0 but not the other 3 folders alike. Lemme reboot

EDIT 2, Thanks JIM 😀
 


Haha, pics please? Hopefully it powers on! No dents or anything? Everything in place?
 

Everything is A-OK, PCBuilder! :) I will put pics but Im embarresed by the horrible mouse and keyboard i have so i will slide them under the desk in the tray, also have crappy speakers which I got in the 3 years ago lol....and only one monitor now cause no room for second one ( that can change) ...but sure Ill send pics.

PC - Thanks man! And no sadly no SSD, But i will get one soon!

Jim! Thanks a lot man.

And guys what guys....DUAL MONITORS UP AND RUNNIN'! Second monitor is a little at an angle but that cause the black square cabnet thing behind it but its not too bad! and enabling multi monitor and intergrated graphics doesnt make my GPU worse right? AS LONG as its on my main monitor and set as main display it will be the same right?

Got an offer at my school to sell my spare parts pc for around 110$ + 8gb of already tested (I checked) gskill ripjaws ram. It consists of a cx430, rosewill ranger m, 320gb hdd, optical drive, core 2 duo e4400, but I am including my graphics card in the deal (I think). This would give me the change to upgrade from 1333 to 1600 and better timings (buy more of it later), and give me the cash to either get a 280x or wait and get a 960. I would be without a graphics card for a few weeks, though. I think I am going to make the offer though, as this seems like quite a deal for such an old system.
 


Yeah I've been trying to unload my spare parts PC (every experienced system builder has one :lol: ) on eBay with no luck so far, although I finally got Asrock to RMA my Z77 Extreme 4, so I'll put it in that PC and hopefully I'll be able to get some money for it. It's Intel Z77 with a 3570K, Crucial M4 SSD, Corsair TX 750, Cooler Master HAF 912, and a Radeon 5800.
 
That's why I turn off traction control when I want to lose the rear end on my truck. The traction control on my truck works better than any other vehicle I've ever driven. You pretty much can't fish-tail with it on. I just feel bad because it looks like he lost a couple little pieces of plastic there, and since it's a BMW probably a $600 fix.
 
TV, he looks like an idiot to me. Good driver or not, he pulled a maneuver that had unexpected results, and caused damage. It looks like he knew enough to be dangerous. He needed to know how his car would behave before doing something like that.
 

Both monitors should be plugged into your 280x, and leave multi-monitor in BIOS disabled. All that does is control your integrated graphics, nothing to do with the discrete GPU.
