Turned on my PC tonight and booted up fine, went to play CS and windows 7 complained that the Nvidia driver had failed and then recovered. tried to play CS after that and it wouldnt play. Rebooted as thought was just a driver error and I now have 5 lots of vertical red stripes down the screen...

You're very kind Marine, thank you for your excellent advice. Ill see if theres some life in the old dog yet.

As above, CPU is Quad 6600 2.4 running at 3.0, Mobo is Abit IP35 Pro. It is at stock voltage for that overclock, but temps on load are 64 degrees and not sure how much more I can push it on the cooling that I have. If I tried to overclock the Grafix card using Afterburner how would I go about...

I ran MSI Afterburner and loaded up source, dust2 was playing and I was getting 80-90FPS, just played one round then came out and graph was around 80-90% the whole time woth peaks of 100, is that normal? or does that spell trouble at grafix mill...

Budget is whatever I can get away with thats better.. for as little as possible. My CPU is overclocked to 3.0ghz

Oh and if it makes any difference running Abit IP35pro Mobo and a Quad 6600 with 4GB of RAM.

Hi Guys, Im not an avid gamer, mainly play CS Source but on some maps im only getting 30fps, ive had the 8800GT for what seems like years but as with allot of people moneys not great at the moment. Can anyone suggest to me what the cheapest card I can get is that is better than what I have...

Yes that was 85 degrees under full load with all 8 workers on prime running. Ok thanks for the help, as long as its not going to blow up ill have a play and see how it goes, maybe add some more cooling. Just wanted to know if that was dangerously hot or safe.

Hi guys, just bought a "Titan Onyx" Intel Core i7 920 D0 2.66GHz @ 4.00GHz Quad Core DDR3 System" from OCUK and have just put Win7 ultimate 64 on it. Have just been making sure it all works and thought I would prime95 it for a while to check the temps and stability as its a hell of an...

Hi, Have done a quick search of the forum and cant find an aswer to my question. I have a Dell laptop which Seatools found 4 bad block on but has repaired all 4, (after rescanning none have come up bad). Does that mean the drive is ok now? or will it be prone to bad blocks so I should get it...

HI, Apart from the My Passport 2.5" drives, does anyone know of any other manufacturer that makes a drive of 320GB or above that only requires 1x USB port to power it and not 2? Any help appreciated, thanks

Thanks, Went for the DV600 instead, managed to scrape to the next one. Thanks very much for your comments and help

Want to play divx ripped stuff through a USB device rather than having to burn everything onto disc, also for Mp3's and pictures the same reason. Burning discs is such a waste I find.

Guys, Looking to buy one of the above and cant really find that much and was wondering if any of you have got such devices and which are good ones etc etc. Just have to have all the things, multi region DVD, HDMI USB support and Divx playback. Looking around 80.00 £100.00 max. I just cant...

Maybe a breakthrough lads although Im not sure what it all means.. I have emailed crucial about my problem and they suggested memtesting the memory at a lower voltage. Now with all the stuff Id read about these 2.2V tracers I thought they had to be run at 2.2 for best results especially on an...

So can I just ask.. I was running my Ballistix tracer at 2.2V as thats what I read it has to run at to be stable, or thats what the manufacturer says it should run at. Even tried going up to 2.25 to see if that made any difference.. Should I try a lower voltage and see if it still errors? or am...

I re-ran the memtest for the dominator over night 8 hours and not a single error.. Thanks I think ill try Cruial see what they have to say.. anyone had any dealings with them before? are they helpful?

I have just RMA'd my crucial Ballistix tracer 2x1GB back to OCUK after it racking up constant errors on memtest within an hour. They have sent it back as no fault found and after memtesting for 40 hours ! and they charged me £10.00. Borrowed a friends dominator ram while mine was being tested...

Ahh it has all the info on the side except the voltage.. Thanks very much for you reply, at least I know 2.2v wont fry it that was my main worry.

Guys, A quick question, I have jsut had to RMA my crucial ballistix tracer 8500 back to OCUK and I thought I was going to be out of luck until it came back as I havent got any spare memory. My friend offered to lend me 2GB from his 4GB machine so I gladly accepted. Its the corsair...
