This is the first game I have picked up because I really want to play it. I do not get any lag, but I am wondering why I am getting 100% cpu usage. I have a phenom II 550 overclocked to 3.42 Ghz and my cpu temps stay about 50C while playing the game. I have 4gb of DDR2 1066mhz and my...

I ran prime95 for about 15 minutes in blend mode (100% cpu usage) and my temps got to 69 degrees celcius. Idle is in the high 40's. I have a phenom 2 550 that is overclocked to 3.42Ghz. I keep finding mixed reviews about the temps I want to be at. This is an 80w processor btw. I have an...

It hasn't been formatted because it doesn't let me get to that point. I get to the install button, and then I agree to the terms, and it asks me that no primary storage could be detected, and it gives me an option to search for drivers. No drivers are found, and there are no downloadable...

I have this model WD5000AAKS It prompts me to load a driver, but according to the windows website, it should not. This hard drive is detected in my bios, but not by the OS. This is a fresh install, and there is currently no OS installed on this hard drive. Does anyone have any...

Sorry for this new question, but I havn't built a computer in ages. My 9600gso has a six prong power inlet, and my motherboard has no power outlet like that. Am I able to pick up an adapter for this, and if so could someone link me to the site?

Okay, I will do a screen cap. I am currently running windows vista with this motherboard MA785GM-US2H gigabyte board The lcd is an emachines and is supposed to support 1020x720 and it says wide tft monitor

I am new to all of this, and I tried adjusting the resolution and it didn't fix anything. I used the motherboard cd that game with it to install all of the drivers, but the display just looks bad. It is not sharp and looks fuzzy, as well as being stretched. Is there something I should be...

Sorry guys, I am a bit out of the loop haha. The last time I built a computer, Pentium 4's with hyper threading were the most powerful CPU's. The reason I chose the Phenom 2 BE is because the multiplier is unlocked, and the 3rd and 4th cores have a good chance of being unlockable. I will...

I am getting a phenom x2 550 black edition that is rated at 80w. I want to unlock it to a quad core. How is this heatsink? http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=FAN-ACALP6&title=ARCTIC-COOLING-Alpine-64-Pro-CPU-Fan-For-AMD-CPU Should I upgrade, or would it be okay to run it with that...
