So after updating my SSD firmware to the latest version, I went quite a while w/o a BSOD. I was still getting the occasional horizontal lines on my screen (too quick for me to try taking a screenshot of it), and I still got some stuttering when connecting to a Ventrilo server. However, the "dev...

Sorry I forgot to post his monitor size. It's 22". He played the D3 beta and didn't mention any issues, but I know that Star Wars: TOR doesn't run very smoothly for him at max settings. I had a 4870, and that game was precisely why I decided to upgrade. My father and I both shoot for our games ...

My father wants to upgrade his 4850 and asked me if $200 would be enough. I've recently upgraded to a 7850 and have been mostly happy with it*, so I'm inclined to think that he should pony up an extra $60 or so to get that. However, what do y'all think about the ~$200 cards available right now? Woul...

Can you please take a screen shot of the information inside those Kernel-Power errors. Do you have another power supply to test your system with? To start ruling things out, remove parts you really don't need to at least run it and test. Start with the video card (if you've got on-board or a spare ...

I had no idea this Event Viewer thing existed, nor do I really know how to read it. But here's a screenshot of the log for errors labeled "critical." And below I'm pasting the text from the "details" tab. Does this mean anything useful to you? Yeah, that just tells us the system...

I downloaded Real Temp and then spent several minutes running around in Star Wars: The Old Republic with the following programs running in the background: Internet Explorer, Ventrilo, Steam, Windows Media Center, and Catalyst Control Center. I'd normally never play a game with that many programs usu...

When you get BSODs what error is being reported? You might try running Event Viewer and looking in the System log to see if anything jumps out at you. At the very least you should see what hardware is disappearing and reappearing to generate "he little noises it makes when a USB device is unpl...

Really sounds like a hardware (or firmware) issue of some sort, which could be difficult to narrow down unless you've got other components you can swap in. For starters, are you running the latest BIOS for that motherboard, and does that SSD have the latest firmware on it? Yes, I'm on the latest BI...

I recently installed a new mobo, processor, and RAM (which are linked in my build below), and I've been periodically getting a BSOD as well as a couple random other issues (some horizontal lines that appear on the screen for a second, then disappear; freezing up for a few seconds, audio stuttering, ...

You're right. You don't have to use separate or third party drivers for the audio any more. That's been bundled in. But I dont know if that exists in the drivers only package or not. My suggestion? Download the whole latest catalyst control center suite. Uninstall everything driver related for the ...

Just today I swapped out my 4870 for a new 7850, and now the HDMI audio isn't working. The video works fine, but the computer seems to think the HDMI audio output isn't plugged in. I remember that back in the day I had to download a separate little driver for HDMI audio, but everything I've read see...

MidnightFrost1701

i get that with my 6950's. but only if i install the encoder/decoders. i just install the driver with the ccc. Wirerogue FTW! That fixed it, thanks! I played a bit of Star Wars The Old Republic, and even though the game does run much more smoothly, I've noticed a bit of "lag" here and the...

Try installing just the driver and not the ccc

Just tried that (although I installed a few decoders and such in addition to the driver; I just left off CCC). I'm still getting the message.

MidnightFrost1701

I can't remember the last time I did this, but I think I'm going to try the drivers that are on the disc. In this case, older might actually be better... I'll post again with results of that.

MidnightFrost1701

So I just installed my new 7850 today, along with the driver and CCC from AMD's website . Every time I boot, I get an error message that reads: kdbsync.exe - System Error The program can't start because OpenCL.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. I tri...

So I'm just trying to find out how flexible you are with the $650 total budget and trying to think it through. Ah, I got ya. I can't really afford to be too flexible. If it's going to make a huge difference, I could probably go up by about $50, but that's it. When I checked this morning, Newegg did...

A Xeon E3110. Why that instead of a Sandy Bridge-E chip?

I don't understand the question. I bought it 4 years ago based on recommendations here, but what difference does it make now?

What Ivy Bridge do you want? 3570K + mobo + 8 GB will come close to $450, I reckon.

How can I know until it's out? I imagine I'll probably end up with SB due to my budget, but I might as well wait until IB comes out and see what prices look like for both SB and IB at that point.

I've been itching to upgrade for a while now, but I was advised the last time I asked about upgrading to wait for the new processors from Intel and the 7xxx cards from AMD. Well, after reading the review of the 7850, I'm really liking the idea of grabbing one of those (as soon as I can find one in s...

Sorry to necro an old thread, but I'd like to know what everyone thinks is the best antivirus bang for buck right now. I've been using Norton IS for a couple of years, and although I'm not unhappy with it, I've seen references to MSE that make me wonder if I should save some money and switch. I thin...

My dad just got an invite to the beta, and I'm gonna try to convince him to share his login info with me. I know he won't have read the terms very closely and won't want to. Does anyone happen to know what the policy is on "testing on more than one computer"? The SW:TOR beta allowed it. I ...

More second-hand info from my dad's internal Blizzard tester friend (to be taken with a grain of salt, for sure): he says the game itself is ready, but there are two competing marketing philosophies within Blizzard. One wants to do a huge marketing blitz and release the game just a couple of weeks a...

Problem solved. My idiot father was putting in the wrong account name the whole time, and for reasons that are beyond me, Steam wasn't saying that the account name was wrong. It was just saying it couldn't connect to the servers. Anyway, it's all working now (including my Friends list, even though I...

Great resource on the topic: http://www.portforward.com According this page for setting up the Steam Client on the RNX-EasyN4: The RNX-EasyN4 will not allow you to forward enough ports, to run Steam Client. You should try using the DMZ portion of this router if it is available. Alternatively you ca...

Make sure you are running the latest firmware before you try anything else. http://www.rosewill.com/products/1281/ProductDetail_Download.htm Appears that like Ver 1.1.1.47 is the newest, read the firmware_update_guide PDF on that page for instructions. The router has 2 firmware files, one for the k...

No one I know has ever had to set and port forwarding on their router to get Steam to work. To me, it sounds more like a firewall issue then one of port forwarding. Try disabling any firewalls that you have (router and local PC firewalls), and see if Steam connects with them turned off. If so, then...

If it helps, here's what the port triggering screen looks like (which does allow for ranges): http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/60 ... ering.png/

I don't have to do anything with port forwarding on my router to let Steam work. Have you tried making it work without fiddling with your router? Yes. Steam doesn't connect to the servers. From a quick Google it looks like Steam may support UPnP so rather than trying to open the ports by hand you c...

MidnightFrost1701

I know nothing about port forwarding (or triggering, so I'm not even positive that forwarding is what I'm supposed to do). The quote below is from Steam's website. I've done this before with a different router, but I remember the fields being simple enough for even me to figure out how to enter the ...

My father is friends with a guy who's an internal tester for Blizzard and has been testing D3 for a while. He says the release date that's been discussed interally is January 17th. However, the last time I talked to him, something pretty big had just gone wrong (I think it had to do with server stre...
