If I wanted to upgrade from my keyboard and ball mouse, should I go for a mechanical keyboard or optical mouse? I think the optical mouse would make more of a difference in my gameplay, but I'd want to get someone else's opinion on this.

In your case I would upgrade to an optical mouse first as it should give you increased accuracy. Going from a membrane keyboard to a mechanical keyboard won't really affect your performance all that much, it'll mostly be more comfortable to use.

On the other hand, you can buy a cheap optical mouse for $10, which means you should have enough budget left for a mechanical keyboard.

Optical mouse gives you the best and the cheapeast boost in your gameplay if you.

It takes time to adapt because I had some troubles with adapting myself between old skool optical to laser

You can look for one on www.overclock.net or www.hardforum.com . Doing a mild overclock just involves changing the multiplier and leaving everything else on auto.

Hello everyone,
I been getting this "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error when playing games. More precisely, the game/screen frezzes for 3-4 seconds, I have to crt-alt-del and pressing cancel takes me to desktop where I see that error msg on the bottom right hand side and cant go back into the game even though I hear the music/sound when i click on the tab or try alt tabing in.

I have tried uninstalling the video card drivers, running sweeper cleaner and installing the latest drivers (MSI Radeon HD 6950 Twin Frozr III OC 850MHZ 1GB GDDR5 2XDVI 2XMINI DisplayPort HDMI PCI-E Video Card), there is no overheating on the card (55C max on HWmonitor during games)

Edit: Also DirectX is up to date, could a factory OCed be causeing this? And how can I clean the operating system’s registry as this is one of the suggested solutions.


Googling doesnt help much as there seems to many problems that results in that specific error msg.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can check if the OC is the problem by simply downclocking the card and seeing if the problem persists. Use the MSI Afterburner tool for this (you can find it on their website). If this is the source of the issue, then you should return it since it's not running okay at the advertised clockspeeds.

To clean up your registry, you can try the CCleaner program.

I am trying to overclock my e8500 CPU. From what I have read overclocking e8500 is very effective. I am looking to get started in it, but one thing I noticed is there is something weird about my RAM. This is the RAM I have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231440

It says the timings for it are 7-7-7-21

the timings that are showing up in CPU-Z are 9-9-9-24 though

A while back I attempted to overclock, perhaps I never changed it back? Is this likely the case?

Doubt you changed the RAM timings. Mostl likely your BIOS never had the correct timings anyway those CL7 timings arent that common and many MoBos wont set em correctly in first place.

Well could this be the reason for my computer freezing shortly after boot? Ever since I got this mobo + ram my computer has been freezing up on my first boot or two of the day. Initially thought it was faulty ram so I did memtest. It came up with tons of errors so I RMA'd it. Problem went away and eventually came back. Still freezing. Then I updated the BIOS about a month ago. Problem finally went away. Today it froze for the first time on bootup, and when I came back later to turn it on it froze again. It usually freezes about 5-10 seconds after I get to the desktop screen, and almost always on the first boot after it has been off a while. What is weird though is how the problem completely went away after I updated my BIOS but randomly started coming back a month later.

Cold start problems are almost universally hardware related. If you're lucky, reseating everything (power connectors, RAM, GPU etc) will fix it. Otherwise they're so tough to diagnose that you're normally better off putting up with it until it gets worse.

So this just started happen recently and intermittently, usually when I watch videos or play games. I've had my MSI GTX460 768MB for a few months and everything was running smoothly until now, where it would cause random lockups. Is my card faulty?

edit: nevermind, I uninstalled all my drivers and installed a previous nvidia ver. that most gtx460 users recommended and it works so far, keeping my fingers crossed.

So my dad has a partial website as part of his company's site: http://www.century21.ca/karl.neff

We wanted to buy www.karlneff.com and forward it to his web site, but I've never done so with a specific page of a site (i.e. the added "/karl.neff" portion). Am I able to do this through GoDaddy's on-site DNS?

I've an AMD Athlon II X3 445, Asus program says it's about 60c (140f), BIOS say it's at about 70-72c (158f) - this is after 24 hours of Prime95 testing, mind. I'm googling to find out if this is very high but can't get conclusive answers. Is it too high?

Edit: CoreTemp readings: Tj Max 70c (158f), CPU 54-59c (129-140f).

For you IT people out there:

1.) Will this process give me basic computer imaging?
Basic imaging process in above link:
1. Create WINPREP cd
2. SYSPREP (Probably gonna skip this, I don't need domain information installed)
3. Capture Image, create and Install new media

Just want basically an updated Win 7 image to install from to avoid long update times and installation of Office, etc.
I'm not worried about domains, we can configure those seperately

Other info:
IAMA M.I.S. major with a tech job for a small IT program at a very large University. We toyed with buying Symantect Ghost but don't want to purchase licenses. I figured this would be a faster, cleaner way to setup workstations. (and free!)

2.) Is there any cool/free/better utility to do this?
I've heard mutterings of free imaging, and thought I'd go to you guys. You're pretty smart folks.

Not quite simple, but I didn't want to make a thread. Seemed too small of a question to do that.
