[Leestons]

My computer shuts down before windows even boots, I'm using my netbook to post this.

Thanks for the help by the way, I appreciate it.

[Killervalon]

oh anyhow - check for temperatures in BIOS. If you can even manage =P
(Also, for another time - this probaly belongs in Technical Support...)

[Leestons]

yeah checked temps in BIOS, stay no higher than 30. Anyway, thanks again, sorry for posting here.

[Killervalon]

Do you have another GPU to test with?

[Leestons]

I don't. I removed my Nvidia geforce 9800gt and had the same issue with onboard graphics. Tried new PSU, RAM and replaced my motherboard.

[QUOTE=Cowabanga;39687347]America yes. This looks pretty neat though, are asus monitors good?

You may want to take care with that. I just returned mine because it was overly bright and the colors looked worse coming from a non-LED backlit LCD. One exception that mine was a VS248H, I don't know if there's any difference compared to the VS248H-P.

Stand is fine though, and the monitor's aesthetics are good. I was surprised at how slim it is. But yeah well, I couldn't stand it barbequing my eyes so I returned it.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;39671263]that sounds too cheap for an active adapter to me.[/QUOTE]

I checked Newegg, Tigerdirect and NCIX and they all have cheaper adapters. Some being close to what I paid for mine. If need be I'll just get another minidp to dvi adapter and use HDMI for my center monitor.

Now what am I gonna do.

Amazon reviews show that it's a pretty good monitor, you just gotta crank down the brightness.

Well, just try out then. Amazon gives you like 30 days to return it for a refund, doesn't it? That's how it is here in the UK.
Also that's why I got it too, because it had good reviews. But it looks like monitors truly are subjective and don't go with anyone.
Also initially (at least on my monitor), there is visible ghosting, but you can fix it by going into the monitor's menu and set an option called Trace-Free to below 80.

Good luck.

I might be able to cancel the order. Do you suggest a better monitor that's 24"?

[editline]Turing why must you do this to me[/editline]

Fuck it, I can't return it back. It can't be worse than my shitty 18.5" acer now can it? I'll just caliber the colors, tone down the brightness and use your method to get rid of ghosting. Thanks for the ghosting method anyway, man.

i have a i7 2600k and a 7970 but recently all games have gotten really bad performance, i mean like planetside 2 gets 15 fps max, tribes ascend gets like 20 fps, tf2 gets 30-40 fps and shit

it was good before

i updated all my drivers and shit, anybody else have something similar?

also changing settings doesnt seem to do much, my tribes ascend gets the same low 20 fps on both maximum graphics and minimum graphics

[Cowabanga]

Haven't really played much since updating to 13.2, but Battlefield 3 seems to not be running well for me. I have a 6770.

I have a few albums, the way they were ripped is all the music is in one FLAC file, and you get to each song using a CUE sheet.

Now this is perfectly fine for foobar2000, but suppose I want to play a specific song in Audiosurf. Audiosurf can't do that. So I'm looking for a way to split the FLAC file along the CUE sheet.

[b]Found a program called CUETools that does this. We're good.[/b]

Looking for a basic laptop for my GF. It's for college stuff, which idiotically requires the use of IE or we'd just get a $200 chromebook.

Is there anything that's a better deal than this? I'd like an i3.

[editline]24th February 2013[/editline]

would prefer something smaller tbh but that's the best I could find

[editline]24th February 2013[/editline]

I actually don't know much about AMD's new processors, if there's a good one with one of those I'll look at it.

Is there an outside shot at changing your FP username? I picked mine long before the swag crowd stole the term away from pilots.

I need a new smartphone

I got an iPhone 3gs for my birthday 3 years ago, and got way too used to the comfort of a phone browser and skype. I'd like to get something open source though and cheaper than Apple.

Any suggestions?

[LordMoldyButt]

Yes. It's a Steamworks game.

is 93c degrees high for a CPU?

[Gaboer]

[QUOTE=beanhead;39718511]is 93c degrees high for a CPU?[/QUOTE]

Depends on which CPU, but nonetheless that's pretty hot. Specs, and when do you hit those temps?

[beanhead]

[IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/358525u.png[/IMG]

i got 93 while playing Dayz on ultra

[Gaboer]

Yeah that's pretty high, did you overclock? If so reduce the voltage going to the CPU, do you also have a non Intel heatsink? For just playing games 90c is too high, I'd try to keep it under 80

[beanhead]

I didnt overclock it, and im using the heatsink that came with it, I ordered a new coolermaster cooler of newegg. And my computers due for a trip through the air compressor...

[Stiveno]

Does [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136996"]this [/URL]look like a fine hard drive for computer repair/ installing OS, and holding other files?

Im just hoping it lasts if I buy it.
