If you remove the fan, you'll often find a whole shit load of dust build up on the blades, cleaning this crud off might help. Go full hog while your in there and check the blades on the gpu and cpu heatsink. Remember to take anti static precautions. | ||

unfortunatley a little over 2 years ago I bought the HD7770 Double Dissipation BLACK (FX-777A-ZDB4) graphics card. My PC always had problems but only now I know for certain that it's the graphics card. Problem is, the warranty has expired. I don't have money for a new card. Are there any options left, can it be repaired, is it worth calling the manufacturer?  | ||

Is there any other info you can add here? Does it show up in bois? Any LEDs on the board gpu that do or don't light up, how are these marked? Do you get any picture at all? Do the fans spin up? Does the motherboard itself have any error LEDs or LCDs which may help hint at the issue? Does it make any error beep sounds when you turn it on? I feel we sadly live in a disposable technology era, bad for us and bad for the planet. I guess a lot of this is down to the complicated nature of modern technology. But you have nothing to loose by phoning a few PC repair shops in the area and asking if they can diagnose or repair it. | ||

Is that because it is more sensitive or because there is something wrong with it? Different sensors work differently - there's nothing wrong with the 3310 in the rival, you should just buy some cloth mousepad of the size you want | ||

I've noticed that on the black table top it doesn't track well with the symptoms you describe, but with the mouse mat, it tracks perfectly. Where as my old mouse had no problem tracking on the table top. Be a total nerd baller, support TL an get one of their mouse mats!! http://www.teamliquid.net/store/eu/teamliquid/peripherals/tl-mousepad Nazgul, do I get brownie points for this reply? | ||

Mouse accel settings I understand, and even keyboards but.. Seems like only the 99.9th percentile would actually gain anything from it. But I bought it so =) Well, most basic mice are very bad. Some people need some characteristics from some sensors, but a lot of mouse pricing is for people who want a good sensor (for example; one that tracks in a way that's consistent and not at all random, yet lets them move the mouse very fast without malfunctioning so that low sensitivity play is possible) or for luxury stuff like the shape of the mouse, amount/location of buttons, software, ability to use more than one sensitivity on a hardware level instead of scaling it in software with some negative effects, etc.. And also, most basic mice are 125hz, which both introduces significant lag when moving the cursor (~8ms, so delay between you moving the cursor and it appearing on screen would increase by ~20-50% with an optimized setup) and also doesn't get displayed as moving in a very smooth way with a variety of refresh rates There's a lot of discussion to be had about a lot of features and performance characteristics, in the end it could be compared to a car - somebody saying "hey, my $1000 car gets me to work just fine, why do those guys want different/better ones?" Also, a mouse is something that quite a lot of people will buy once and then use for 10'000 hours | ||

Maybe your macbook's ethernet port has become less firm (through plugging cables in/out many times) and no longer provides a physical connection that is stable? | ||

EDIT: I turned off transparency in the aero theme window's color settings and that eliminated any kind of lag issue. Also was able to change the color of the borders/task bars so it doesn't look so ugly ^_^. Still get a little stutter tho when closing windows of applications | ||
