overclocking

Can I run it turbo mode all the time, if I am not using the battery? Or can I increase the low gig. mode from 1197 gig. to say 1500 gig. ? I so seldom use the battery, so I can imagine that being a problem. Also, I read something about leaving the battery out, if I use it outside on a warm...

Alright, so this is the deal - I have a not-that-bad-but-really-still-horrible computer from Dell with a GPU that can barely run most of the games you see today. I'm thinking "Hey, why not push it up just a bit, just until I get a new computer?"... I've seen one or two other people who have...

Hi, So Ive now been getting random BSODs on my desktop for a month now, and was troubleshooting the problem all this time. Finally, to out rule any corrupt/conflicting drivers I freshly reinstalled windows (which didnt help though). Since this reinstall, however, no more dump files are created...

Well... I am thinking of buying a graphics card for a new build. I am thinking along the lines of a HD 7770. I know this card is a solid overclocker and packs lots of new technologys such as ZeroCore. But it sometimes gets beaten by the HD 6850. I am still leaning towards the 7770 because of the...

Hi, since about 1 month my PC turns randomly off. Sometimes after 10 hours, sometimes after 2. Mostly when in Idle or when i'm watching movies on a second Monitor (TV but it also crashes if it is unplugged so thats not the reason). Sometimes when i try to boot again it wont start except if i...

Hey guys, been having a problem for awhile and have not been able to figure out a solution on my own, and this seemed like a good place to reach out. Recently I switched out the motherboard in my set up, and did a clean install of Windows 7. I'm not 100% sure when it started, but sometime...

Hello! I'm experiencing BSOD's everyday. Example when I start a game (i.e. CS:GO, BF3) I will get BSOD in the first 1min of the game, everytime. When I boot the pc, sometimes it says overcloking failed, or just goes to windows error recovery... After this BSOD I go back to play the same game...

My pc will freeze up for about 2-3 seconds every so often, and then a beep comes and everything works again. This is very frustrating, because it happens in a lot of my games. The beep is kind of like plugging your usb Ipod cord in or some usb flash drives. I have a gts 450 overclocked (never...
