    OFFICIAL Fallout 4 (Discussion)

    Just saw it appear on (pre-release) Sale on Steam a few minutes ago. It ain`t cheap, so I assume it will be marvellous.

    GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980 Ti Gaming G1 Pictured

    Anyone with any sense might already be using a vented case if they plan to buy this terrific Gaming card. I hope to be at the front of the queue when they arrive in Japan. My iNNo 3D iChiLL GTX780 (which this card somewhat resembles) can then take a backseat and find a use as dedicated PhysX. So...

    Will it be sparks from my A-Data Ram or Asus motherboard?

    Update. I discovered that the sparks came from the cable for the extra hard-drives which was loose, as I was removing the right side panel with the power on, which led to the sparks. No damage. :) The BF4 sticky issue & BF3 (DirectX) problem seems to have turned out to be because the regional...

    Will it be sparks from my A-Data Ram or Asus motherboard?

    After I first bought the motherboard and ran it, I was forced to buy a powered USB after the PC kept crashing with my using all the the onboard USB ports for various printers etc. The Anker 7-port USB Hub seems fine. No USB crashes since, and with MS updates. This issue though may have been a...

    Will it be sparks from my A-Data Ram or Asus motherboard?

    I dont know what the problem is; but Battlefield 4 crashed again into some sticky mess after an hour for the hundredth time in three months. I assumed it was overheating. But this time I ran temp monitors on my second screen instead of a map. 65C-CPU, 65C-GPU 50C-RAM Averages all through the...

    1k usd budget. which one?

    Not sure if I doin this right. I did this to test the system. I will do memtest next. Last night I thought this rig fried during Battlefield 4. The RAM got so hot I think sparks were coming out of it when it froze and shut down. Just a standard gaming rig. No water. 1080p

    Will it be sparks from my A-Data Ram or Asus motherboard?

    I didn`t change anything in Bios. I`m pretty sure I never said I did. The PC did re-boot and ask me to change something in the Bios to do with RAM. But I couldnt get into Bios that time; and the following few attempts to re-boot by-passed the BIOS and the PC started again. I would have to strip...

    Will it be sparks from my A-Data Ram or Asus motherboard?

    I was playing Battlefield 4 on my Haswell i7 rig and there have been a few `glitch issues` over the past few weeks culminating tonite in the PC shutting down and getting locked before being able to get into BIOS (PC told me to alter something in Ram in BIOS when it re-booted). However, 5...

    Freaky AMD Graphics card specs in Crossfire on GPU-z

    Done. (in Regedit) Many thanks. Will test again; but Windows updates are coming thick and fast at the moment. EDIT P.S. Do I have to re-boot as the readings are the same (odd). Also; Could the faulty Gigabyte motherboard have altered/damaged anything in the graphics cards? NEXT EDIT. I...

    Freaky AMD Graphics card specs in Crossfire on GPU-z

    Ummm.... On the last (Gigabyte) motherboard all I got was an immediate BSoD everytime I went near graphics 3d. But on the Asus, I ran them on Crysis 3 on high settings and they ran great after a driver update and CCleaner wipe. I got both Sapphire GHz Edition cards from Amazon themselves. I...

    Hi; Thanks for that effort. I have now updated the drivers yet again; and I did a CCleaner. the problem is/was just me worrying; as I had just built a new rig last week and found the Gigabyte Z87MX-D3H motherboard Crossfire did not work with these two graphics cards. And so I bought the Asus...
