[QUOTE=kaine123;31572273]I know this isn't that amazing of a problem, but it's more of a minor annoyance. My GTX 460 supports a max resolution of 2560 x 1600 and my monitor's max resolution is 1600 x 1200. Unfortunately any application only allows for resolutions of up to 1024 x 2048. When I switch to integrated graphics in a VM for example, it allows 1600 x 1200. I might be missing some important logic here but this makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. Perhaps it has something to do with aspect ratios? It's not like I even need an immediate solution, but I figured I might sport a nice bout of content if anything I'm saying sounds computer illiterate.[/QUOTE] 1600x1200 is 5:4 or whatever resolution. Use 1280x1024 in games. [editline]7th August 2011[/editline] Why can nobody use Facebook correctly? All they do is spam some shit like L1k3 1F Y0U C4N UN03R574N0 7HI5 lately, or some other shit. And so many of them believe that you will actually win an iPhone 4 with that bullshit 1mil first attending wil get this shit. IT IS ANNOYING, SERIOUSLY! I only go to facebook to fight a bit against it, send out informative stuff like somebody can not fucking destroy your HDD by adding him as a friend. I need to invite my friends to Google+, but there is a few problems with it. 1. They do not have google accounts or those are not 18+. 2. Some of them share google accounts (Well, me and my friend) 3. Nobody goes there, yet. They do not have anybody to talk to there, I guess.
Some self-content/plea for help. :v: Today I bought another fan for my PC, I connected it and extremely foolishly put it on TOP of the graphics card without it being held by anything. It worked, until I moved it a bit and turned on my pc again I heard it colliding with something and clattering, so I, once again, extremely foolishly ripped out the power cable to the PSU in panic. When I boot it's fine, video outputs onto my second monitor, the one with VGA. But when windows starts, and the HDMI display enables, nothing comes up on either monitors, it's not like when you for example took the color black and displayed it, NOTHING is on the display at all. The HDMI monitor just says no signal while the VGA one shits itself. It all boots fine with just VGA, but with VGA+HDMI or even HDMI alone, nothing. Sound is still ok, you hear the sound of windows booting, and eventually the computer restarts itself. I've tried resitting it and reconnecting shit to the motherboard. I conclude that it's a PSU problem and it may have friend and it's supplying to little/too much power to the GPU on boot? Can anyone help?
[QUOTE=Blaberry;31572276]Content right here ladies and gentlemen.[/QUOTE] Not really.
you placed a fan on the back of the gfx card, it clattered against something. My guess is it knocked off some surface soldered components, bricking it. Get a pic of a working/new graphics card like the one you have, same manufacturer and all and compare it to your card, see if anything's missing.
[QUOTE=Blaberry;31572276]Content right here ladies and gentlemen.[/QUOTE] uh no hard drive manufacturers say that a gigabyte is 1024mb, but windows says that it's 1000mb - hence windows reading it as 232gb it's something like that anyway
[QUOTE=zerosix;31572604] hard drive manufacturers say that a gigabyte is 1024mb, but windows says that it's 1000mb - hence windows reading it as 232gb[/QUOTE] Other way around. Additionally, the partition won't fill all of the space on the disk.

oh okay still, it isn't really content...
On an unrelated topic, look at this chart and tell me where we'll be in ten years. :neckbeard: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/90/Hard_drive_capacity_over_time.svg[/img]
So I bought an Asus GTX 590 for my new computer, which they advertised that you can overclock up to an additional 50% in clock speed with adequate cooling. Well I'm watercooling this card as well as bumped the voltage to 1.05V, and I was able to push the clock by a whole 50mhz before it crash and burns. How on Earth is that even close to 50%?!
I just got a 46" 1080p 3D LED TV with 14 pairs of glasses for cheaper than what people normally pay for a 2D TV of that caliber. $800.

Fry's Electronics is godlike.

So when Ivy Bridge comes with the PCIe 3.0, will my Asus P8Z68-V Pro support it? Or do you actually need a new mobo for that?

oh damn, is Ivy Bridge out this year? I thought I'd actually have a current gen processor for once, but if it's out before Christmas...

I think my friend may have cheated a little. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7333627/Forums/SAM.PNG[/img]
Thanks Garry, Facepunch just brought my 700Mhz duron down to an absolute crawl. The website won't even render past login in IE5, so I'm using Firefox 2 right now. In other news, I just nicked the Wi-Fi card out of my main desktop to get this old thing online. I just tried putting my TV tuner card into my main desktop, and it wouldn't even post with it in, what is odd is that I was using it in my Duron rig absolutely perfectly (albeit under windows XP) [editline]6th August 2011[/editline] Heh, no windows 98se user agent apparently.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;31573660]I think my friend may have cheated a little. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7333627/Forums/SAM.PNG[/img][/QUOTE] So? I did that too. I couldn't be arsed to waste time on achievements just to get the unlockable weapons.
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;31573696]So? I did that too. I couldn't be arsed to waste time on achievements just to get the unlockable weapons.[/QUOTE] I just got a kick out of seeing a giant wall of text that couldn't even fit on my screen in my blotter. I cheated for the milestones, too.
I got walls like that without cheating. That was before the unlockables though.
I just talked to my dad, and I will be ordering the parts this Tuesday. I need to find a good monitor for around $200 and some speakers ($100 budget) too. Any suggestions?
Are you gonna be adding a BIOS and Windows password to make sure your dad doesn't fiddle?
[QUOTE=chrishind10;31574135]Are you gonna be adding a BIOS and Windows password to make sure your dad doesn't fiddle?[/QUOTE] He won't do that. He is an asshole at times, but he would never deliberately try to break my stuff.
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;31573696]So? I did that too. I couldn't be arsed to waste time on achievements just to get the unlockable weapons.[/QUOTE] I just unlocked every single achievement for games I own but don't intend to play, and even some for games I don't own. Was fun having people ask me on steam how the fuck I unlocked that many :v:
[QUOTE=Mandrith;31574189]He won't do that. He is an asshole at times, but he would never deliberately try to break my stuff.[/QUOTE] One month later...
[QUOTE=Mandrith;31574189]He won't do that. He is an asshole at times, but he would never deliberately try to break my stuff.[/QUOTE] Oh that's good. I just got horrible thoughts of him uninstalling programs willy nilly.
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;31573360]So when Ivy Bridge comes with the PCIe 3.0, will my Asus P8Z68-V Pro support it? Or do you actually need a new mobo for that?[/QUOTE] I don't believe Ivy Bridge works with older motherboards, they haven't released their new socket yet. (I could be very wrong)
