I have just put together a new rig and have a new monitor as well (ASUS VG248QE) which is capable of 120/144hz refresh rates. However whenever I set any refresh rate above 60hz my screen gets blue/red lines and it artefacts quite badly. Here is a sample image...

Turning to the collective wisdom that is OCUK to see if you can persuade me which direction I should turn in.. Currently drive a Toyota Celica T-Sport. Whilst the economy is good for a 190bhp car (35mpg), it is really noisy on the road. I now travel a lot for work (not every day, but long...

Arrived this morning. Noise isolation is great. One comment on the comfort factor, I wore them for 10 minutes as they came and they were really uncomfortable... but... as soon as you remove the detachable velcro headstrap, they are super comfy. Now had them on about 2 hours and no noticeable...

I thought it was about time to upgrade from my 10 year old, £25, creative headset. Had my eye on these for a while, look forward to receiving them tomorrow hopefully!

one question, when?

For some reason the graphs I built for my website many years ago no longer work in Chrome. They work when viewed on their own... they work even when embedded in the website (for a few seconds), then they disappear?? Seem to work fine in IE. The graphs are on this page.... at the bottom...

Hopefully I make it out alive! think of us innocents!

hmmm... I'm into Windows! Changed from Intel to Marvell SATA ports. Changed generic SATA cable to the one labelled 'HDD' Removed 1 memory stick (the other one, that I hadn't checked in isolation) And I'm in... so just to work out what's wrong with one of those 3 :) Thanks for the help so far

Yep, was AHCI as default

Unfortunately not. I had my suspicions I may have a problem with the hdd. It's a Samsung 830 "Notebook/Apple Series" 250GB SSD. It does say compatible with desktop but I'm not sure how I could be so foolish to go with something with Apple in the name!

Ok... soo... The card works in another machine. So the card doesn't appear to be at fault. Swapped the card back to new rig. Put old PSU in new rig, but still the same behaviour. 1 memory stick makes no difference. So I can only deduce that it is the motherboard, hdd or cpu. Any...

Latest drivers for motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H). Tried latest Nvidia drivers too. Latest BIOS (F9). Reseated the card about 20 times by now by swapping it in and out. Currently I'm on it in safe mode, but go anywhere near normal mode and it blows up :( I'm all out of ideas at the...

Does this help any? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/140/captureeei.png/

I'm using this psu: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-055-AK&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2227 Interestingly on the box of the psu it says 'pci-e 2 connectors'. I have tried starting the card in bios in pci-e 1, 2 and 3 all with no luck. This is the behavior (sorry...

This is a brand new build with all new components, so I am coming from a clean install. Tried 2 Win7 installs now with same results. Will have another go at what you have suggested, but I am not holding my breath :( Thanks for the reply, I'll let you know how I get on

So I guessed and ended up buying what turned out to be the recommended board.... .... now help me get it working :D http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18420130

Hi - having some issues with a new build. Works fine with onboard graphics, but as soon as I install the Gigabyte GTX670 Windforce 3x it crashes on Windows7 startup screen and goes into a constant reboot pattern. I can boot up in safe mode (the only way I could install the drivers), but...

Thanks everyone for their input, particularly re i5! Many thanks

Been a while since I frequented these forums, and even longer since I kept up to date with the latest news around PC hardware. I'm looking to build a rig for gaming (predominantly ARMA II, ARMA III (when released) and CS:GO) I'm coming from; E6400, 4GB memory, GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB, slow...

Any spare key for a poor beggar like moi? I have plenty of *** pics!
