Hi, wondering if anyone can help me. Took the downstairs pc upstairs to another room. The monitor was connected by DVI before and worked flawlessly. Upstairs, I only have a Samsung LCD to connect the pc to. The TV works absolutely fine with my laptop by connecting by VGA, however not for the...

how do i know if it's coming out of hibernation? all programs are closed. Just like restarting really. for example, i had a game up before and by the time i got back and logged on again it was closed. Infact all my progress was lost. Same for all progs.

Hi there, Have a new PC that has worked fine since I built it. No major problems at all. One thing that has kept on happening though, is my computer restarts. This isn't when playing a game or anything when the computer is under load. For some reason, if I go away, lock my pc/leave it idle and...

Hey again, Finished building it last night. That Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus was a nightmare getting on. Only have the single fan on the cooler - didn't get a 2nd fan to attach onto it. Would a 2nd make much difference? My i7 930 is hovering around 38 degrees (37-39) typing this using Asus...

Hi there Sean. I'm finally ordering everything tomorrow so wondering if you could make sure everything is good. Few things have changed since before, so.. Money is a bit tight at the moment but since my uni requires a good pc I have to get it done now...

cheers mate I was looking on the Asus website for motherboard compatibility with the memory I mentioned before (OCZ Reaper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 16000C9 2000MHz Triple Channel Kit (OCZ3RPR2000LV6GK) [OCZ3RPR2000LV6GK] Memory DDR3 Tri-Channel - PC3-16000+) . On the PDF from Asus website, it's not...

no chance in changing for the 1GB version - i think for the price as well I wouldn't notice a difference especially for the extra price. sean - thanks for that info. Do you think this RAM would be fine/good when overclocking my 930?

Sean - just been offered this RAM from a mate. Only used about a week but he's selling since some plans of his changed. Why is it pretty expensive with poor timings? OCZ Reaper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 16000C9 2000MHz Triple Channel Kit (OCZ3RPR2000LV6GK) [OCZ3RPR2000LV6GK] Memory DDR3 Tri-Channel -...

Ah, ok then mate. I think i'll probably get the Asus since it was recommended by some FSX guru who has sorted out so many performance problems for people, coupled by the reviews i've read. A question though - I've came across a good deal for Corsair (TR3X6G1600C9) 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz XMS3...

interesting you chose the MSI board - is that a personal preference or from reviews? most things reviews that i've came across recommended the Asus over the msi and the gigabyte, although one, pcpro, said recommended the gigabyte. cheers

Ah, forgot to say - no case anymore. I was planning to use my bro's old case he had for his last pc but he says it's knackered. So need a case now. Budget? I've made budgets and at the end of the day they all get broken or are not realistic enough. Just not going over the top - if you like, at...

it looks like i've got a good deal on an i7 930 saving me 30 pound - about 45 USD. Mays well go for an i7 system then. So, at the moment, i've got an i7 930 and a GTX 460. Sean, would you be able to build a rig then around this? If you could do so on Aria PC - Computer Hardware, Components...

gonna check the i5 760 benchmarks in FSX now. your idea may be the one to go for.. interesting.

Just checked a few prices and it seems you are right. Adjusted budget to 600.

Hi there, Building a new pc so i'd appreciate if anyone could help me out. Been out of it all since I built my last pc really (about 4 years ago?) so that's why I came here to get some advice. I'll be using it for my uni work - my course is digital media. 3D work really, as well as photoshop...
