For some reason when I try to play Sc2, I get onto NA server just fine, but if I try to get onto the KR server for harder opponents and better practice, I am not able to log on. It just shows that my internet is not working but it is working just fine because I can go on NA and browse the internet. Any suggestions?

what gaming headset should I get? I have had turtle beach earforce x11 for around 3 years and they have worked amazing and been amazing. Unfortunately, I haven't treated them well and they are starting to die slowly. Looking to see if anyone had any recommendations? I get a lot of heat from people for not just buying nice headphones and a shitty mic but I like my headset and enjoy the quality i've gotten from it

I have 5.1 surround sound speakers connected to my computer as well as my HDTV (acting as a very large second monitor). Right now, sound comes out of my speakers, but I want it to come out of my TV as well. TV is connected via HDMI. In the control panel I can see it recognizes my TV as an audio output device in addition to my speakers, but it only allows me to set one default device to use for audio out. Is there any way to put the audio through my TV as well? When I right click my TV in the audio list and click 'test' I can indeed hear audio pass through my TV, so I know it works, just want to set it to use my TV and speakers if possible.

Thanks

edit: hmm seems like you have to use something like VAC or this, but the latter carries a .5 second delay on the second playback device which sounds awful.

What I've seen work on some computers is the following:

You pull up the recording devices window in the right-click menu of that speaker icon in the task-bar. In the list that comes up, you'll just see the microphone and line-in by default. Right-click and put a check-mark on "show disabled devices".

On some boards and sound cards, the output of your audio will show up as a recording device. You can go into the properties of that recording device, and you will be able to pipe it to wherever you want. You can let Windows send the audio to the HDMI audio device.

EDIT: I guess you found that method yourself from that link you provided. I didn't notice a delay when I've seen that being used. Perhaps the delay you see is on the TV's end?

Hmm could be. If it is I guess there's nothing I can do to fix it. At least after looking around in the sound options in windows. Oh well, not the end of the world.

I recently built a new computer with Windows 8.1 and when I am using Firefox i get coloured dots/pixels in my window border. I haven't figured if it happens in chrome or any any program window as I mainly use Firefox and haven't seen it replicated on any other window except for Firefox. It happens randomly and somewhat infrequently. My graphics card is Sapphire 7950 OC Vapor X with Boost. I have the latest drivers for graphics card.

Here is a Picture

Any help would be good Thank you.

So recently, my fonts on certain websites have started to look differently.. It only appears on certain sections of some websites.

I'm on Windows 7, tested on both Chrome and IE. Same problem on both.
I tried resetting cleartype.

Nothing seems to work.

Added an image.

I'm going to use an antistatic wrist band when I build my new PC from scratch. I've read conflicting information about how it should be used. If I'm going to attach it to a metal part of my case, should I or shouldn't I have the PSU installed, plugged in at the wall with both the wall switch and PSU switch turned off? I've read some sources that say you shouldn't have it plugged in, others who have said you should.

Hello, my headset just died, and I want to buy a new one, I had a Corsair Vengeance 1500 v2 USB 7.1 that worked well (even if sometime there were some weird reversed sounds on some games).

I look at some headsets and two of them pick my eyes :
Steelseries Siberia v2 USB 7.1 and
Razer Kraken 7.1

Which one is the best in your opinions ?

On the power outlets where I am, the grounding pin is exposed, so you just clamp the antistatic wristband onto that.

That's why the antistatic wristbands you get here only have a clamp and nothing else. In Australia, you might get a plug to connect to a power outlet. I've seen that somewhere else.

What would work is attaching it to a radiator for room heating (that's grounded through its water pipes and stuff).

Clamping it to your case sounds suspicious to me. For you and the case to be grounded, you'd have to leave it connected to a power outlet which I'd rather not do. What's true is that if you clamp it onto the disconnected case, you and your case will always have the same charge. You won't shock anything you touch in the case. That might be good enough, but I'd still rather have the wristband grounded.

Thanks for the reply!
We don't appear to have the grounding pins exposed in this house, nor do we have a radiator or anything like that. That was the main reason I was considering the PSU/case method. Every site I've visited has basically had conflicting opinions on the matter. I think I'll just try it without the PSU plugged in and be particularly careful when handling stuff.

Here's an example of what you can get in the UK for their power outlets where the grounding pin is also not exposed: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005NZB5GK/

This morning I hit the power button on my computer and nothing happened! Luckily, I was able to start it using a screwdriver to connect the headers on the motherboard, as it seems the power button is faulty.

However, the LEDs at the front of the case light up once the computer is started, so perhaps just the particular cable/header pair for the power sw are the issue. Can I just use the header for something unimportant like the reset button (which of course I never use anyway) and instead use it on the headers for the power?

Additionally, my computer has a top and rear fan. Coincidentally it seems, the top fan seems to have failed when I started up the computer earlier today using the screwdriver method. It behaves erratically... sometimes spinning extremely slowly and overall being louder than usual. It is 5 years old so perhaps it just needs to be replaced. Currently have just disconnected it...

It could be that the button is mechanically faulty or some connection frayed. That's more likely than some mechanical issue with the headers or wires, I would think. If you had a multimeter you could check for continuity I guess. You can try hooking up the reset button to the power signal pins on the motherboard, yeah.

Most cases give you cheap sleeve-bearing fans. For it to have lasted five years in that orientation is almost a miracle.

THANK YOU
for not-another-pseudoscience "just touch the case and you'll be fine" reply.

Such a big proportion of PC builders everywhere don't just deny this, but vehemently oppose the proposition of proper grounding even when presented with clear evidence from reputable sources. Boggles my mind.
The answers to most of your Tech Support questions are in the OP. That's why you're not getting a reply. It's been answered before. Read the OP.

Just because you don't reach earth ground level doesn't mean it doesn't help significantly. Attach to case -> plug into wall and call it a day.

I am currently saving up for a haswell system, cutting as many corners as I can along the way . What I'm wondering is if I can dodge buying a larger/better cooler for the i4570 with the Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 mobo and just used the bundled fan+heatsink. I am NOT going to overclock the system at all, but I am going to use the integrated graphics until I have funds for a decent graphics card.

You don't need a larger/better heatsink if you aren't overclocking. You also don't need a Z87 motherboard if you aren't overclocking.
