I updated my video drivers today to 13.4. I was running 12.4 or something from last year which worked fine with Rage except it used only one video card instead of both of my 6850 cards.
Now when I go to play Rage 64 the game stutters real bad... 1 second it moves and 5 seconds it locks up...
I am building a PC for a friend out of my old stuff. I need a wireless card that goes in a PCI slot.

After I install AMD's driver for my graphics cards, Chrome won't render pages. If I uninstall the video drivers and reboot with no drivers, Chrome works fine.
What is going on? I have been fighting these damn drivers all night long and now this.

I have a buddy running a i7 rig. He recently upgraded from a AMD 6700 to a nVidia 670 4GB. Since then he gets red screen crashes when he plays BF3. If he drops the 6700 back in the game runs fine.
He has tried re installing Windows 7 to rule out some sort of driver conflict. Power supply...
Got a new car that has a Microsoft UVO system in it.
It supports MP3 and WMA.
How is WMA 10 Pro? It sounds nice, but is it widely supported? I'd hate to get a bunch of stuff ripped to find out down the road it will only work in my car.
Anyone know of a good keyboard that supports programmable buttons that can be assigned to keyboard combos that would be suitable for business use and cost effective?
All I seem to find are extravagant gaming keyboards that are very costly.
When I pull up the scope on a weapon, it rapidly scopes in and out on it's own. Very annoying and makes using a scope pretty much worthless.
Anyone else have this problem with BF3 at times?
I have been pulling my hair out on this one. My PC can not create restore points automatically or manually. This means that installing software and Windows Updates takes a very very long time as it sits and waits and waits for the restore point to be created.
When doing it manually I get...

First time multi-GPU user here.
I have a pair of 6850 cards on a z68 board in Crossfire.
One of my cards, GPU1, runs considerable warmer and the memory never clocks down when at idle like it should. I have looked all around MSI Afterburner for some setting and found nothing.

Has ATI/AMD changed the bridges for Crossfire since they came out with them? The reason I am asking is that I need one, and there are only 3 listed on NewEgg and they all reference old cards like the x1950 and 2900.

How big of a deal is the PLX PEX 8608 chip on the Z68 motherboards?

I see the Asrock Z68 Extreme4 (Intel Z68) Motherboard and the ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe have the...
Does anyone know of a website that has the version history of the Chrome OS? I get updates quite often, but never really know what features are added or bugs are fixed.

Wonder if we will see some better ROM's out of Samsung now?
Where is the link to submit a trouble ticket to AMD regarding the Radeon product line and their drivers?
I did it before back in the X800 days with my AIW. I got some real decent help out of ATI back then, but I can't for the life of me find the spot on the website for this.
I have an old PC sporting a Athlon X2 4200 and a Radeon X1950XTX running windows XP 32bit. Right now it has some real tight timed SuperTalent 2x 1GB Sticks of DDR400 in it.

I have a Canon ZR850 Camcorder that records in 720x480 NTSC. I encode my movies to H264 mp4 files.
When I render the movies, should I render them at 720x480 or at 640x480?
This has something to do with NTSC pixels and square computer pixels. If I do 720, I get black bars on top and...
I bought a new WD 2TB USB 2.0 external drive and am copying stuff to it off my very full internal disks. One of the disks I am copying from is a very old 300GB Maxtor drive. I have had it for what seems like forever and it's just my scratch drive for various things.
The weird thing is, while...
I was "attempting" to overclock my son's Phenom 9600 Black Edition last night to give him a little better gaming experience with Bad Company 2. Are these 9600BE like the worst overclockers ever or what? I could only get 100mhz out of it. I tried upping the voltage on the CPU, then the NB...

Does it need to be grounded?
