It's a nice glossy monitor which is what I wanted and the size is great. I'm now looking to upgrade my graphics card. I have an Nvidia gt240 and I'm wondering what is a low priced graphics card that can run the latest games on medium settings and games like Skyrim on max settings? Thanks in advance! look for used 7950s or 7970s, on ebay. for $100 those are a deal, i guess | ||

The free ones are varying levels of the same effectiveness. It's much more about not clicking on dubious links or downloading/executing dubious files. Keep in mind that the free antivirus programs occasionally have very obnoxious, bordering on BonziBuddy levels of annoying, "features" and installation pitfalls for other free programs.

Actually, you reminded me that everybody is kinda better keeping off from AVG: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-09/17/avg-privacy-policy-browser-search-data AV software is rather not that super expensive, so I would probably still recommend buying some licence (renewing is always cheaper than buying fresh one). Free ones are usually either not that good or annoying as hell like Avast for example. | ||

My current workaround is to close and restart firefox until the error doesn't show up which of course worked right as I was trying to get a screenshot of the error. It was a script with 'chrome://' at the start which, from my very limited computer knowledge, makes me think the site is misreporting my browser? Any ideas as to what I could do to eliminate this problem? Twitch.tv streams work fine on this laptop and both azubu and twitch work fine on my home PC | ||

In Chrome you can disable / enable different flavors of the flash player (PPAPI vs NPAPI). For some users one works better than the other. I don't know if Firefox has something similar. | ||

I have an i7 4930k clocked to 4.2 ghz and I use it for streaming and recording for almost 2 years, I am planning an upgrade right now and I am looking at the i7 5960X, but however I need your opinion. Probably most of you know that streaming and recording while gaming requires higher CPU clock mostly, and more cores isnt always the best solution, so do you think this is the best upgrade I could get, or there would be some 6th generation CPU with higher clock and as powerful as 5960X. Note that I use custom encoder settings and I really push the 4930k to its limits, so will this upgrade give me more room for improving the encoding or in this thing it won't feel a lot like an upgrade ? I hope you get my idea since english is not my native language, I would love to read some opinions on that one. Thanks in advance and all the best! | ||

Which Windows version do you have? What does Event Viewer say?* (Start --> type 'event viewer' --> Windows Logs --> System --> (right side) Filter Current Log --> Select "critical" and "error" --> press OK) *Only works if the tab on question 1 is checked. I could ask about 100 more questions, need more specification  | ||

Ok thank you. I downloaded "LatencyMon 6.5" and it says I'm running win 8 when I'm running win 10? But it is showing that I have low latency which I hope is correct. | ||

However running sc2 on the 32 bits client instead of 64 gave me a nice fps boost. For now I manually launch the fan everytime it stops itself (checking the temp while playing and physically pushing the fan makes me lose quite some ingame time tho), fortunately I have found a similar fan (slim) of the same brand and I'll purchase it online or try to find it. I still have some fps problems with LotV tho, I think the CPU could be an issue (stock i5 750). Since I have a nice CPU cooler and the i5 750 is said to be overclock friendly I decided to do it. I have however some problems when doing so ; for example I let my mobo "auto oc tuning" (P7P55D) and it was running fine for like 20mn at 3.8ghz (195*19) then I had a BSOD while ingame (didn't catch the error code but it said IRQL less than equal or something at the top). I tried quite a lot of tweaks but according to OCCT the CPU isn't stable, even though the temps are far from hot (around 55 degrees while at 100% use on various frequencies above 3.5ghz). So I guess I can make it work with some tuning, but I'm not really sure of what to change exactly, is there some nice website that could help me OC properly? I managed to play 3 games in a row without BSOD at 3.2ghz, I had 60 fps the majority of the times but sometimes had a bit of stuttering (not even maxed, 1v1 ranked dont know the map name) and I fear it is because there are some errors from the CPU. Edit: oh and when I tried some settings I had a lot of "insufficient memory error: please close the application" when launching LotV or LoL, which I never had before. The swap file was weirdly set to 0 currently with system managing, and even when I tried to set it up manually to 4 or 6 GB. I got 4GB DDR3 1334mhz but OEM (PC 10700 nanya technology), had no error on 1h memtest tho? | ||

Should I just play the game in lower settings to counter this? | ||

So I guess I can make it work with some tuning, but I'm not really sure of what to change exactly, is there some nice website that could help me OC properly? www.overclock.net probably has some guides and helpful people. Until then it's probably best for you to revert to stock settings - it's fairly easy to play starcraft 2 without crashing on a bad overclock. So I noticed that my pc was crashing when sc2 was open and not really anything else. Its an issue with my GPU going straight to 80 degrees while Sc2 is in the menu screens but not in game. The GPU may be loaded to 100% in the menu which isn't exactly good programming if it's in the main (first) menu, but a GPU core temperature of 80c is not something that will cause you system stability issues. A 100% GPU load won't always give you the same temperatures, it depends on the type of load - and some games, even older/lighter games sometimes draw more power + make more heat than others. WoW is the most intense game that i've played in terms of raw power and it's fairly graphically light, the engine is just that way. If you're crashing with something GPU related then it's likely another cause like a bad graphics driver (are you running the latest one?) you can set a custom fan curve with a program like MSI afterburner so that your GPU won't hit those temperatures. That's usually desirable because the GPU's will throttle around ~80c anyway, reducing your performance. | ||
