Can someonr tell me which part of the computer causes the most noise? The PSU or the processor?Noise
The PSU and CPU are both basically silent, it is the fan being used to keep 'em cool. From my experiences cheap PSU's have horribly loud fans. A lot of stock cooling solutions for CPU's can be very loud.Noise
you'll have to tell us. put your finger on the center of the cpu fan to stop it while you listen.
In my case all i can hear is the case fans (92mm @ 2000RPM!)
Often times the GPU fan/ case fans are louder than the CPU/PSU fans. It all depends on what you buy.

Crysis problems
Hi. i have a Geforce 8400 gs graphics card. i just bought crysis and i cant play it because it is very slow and the graphics are just awful. i know it shouldnt be like this because ive seen crysis and it has amazing graphics.anyone knows what i showld do?Crysis problems
8400GS? Sorry man, not much you can do with a $50 gfx card and the most demanding graphical game yet. Lower your res and the settings is about all you can do, still probably won't run well though. Crysis problems
yea im sorry to say but the 8400 is not gonna get you the graphics you've probbaly seen Crysis is capable of. Either put down money for an 8800 GT or lower your in game settings.good luck
what graphics card do you recomend?
[QUOTE=''xbox_psp'']what graphics card do you recomend?[/QUOTE]Depends how much you want to spend. Better cards also require a lot more electricity, so you might need a better power supply with something like the 8800GT.

I really need your help please
hey guys i need your help with something. ive got an mx518 logitech mouse which is about 3 years old.i havent had any problems with it. However of late if i leave the mouse unatended for some period of time and then i try to use it all i get is the cursor moving about in jitters.no smoothness it jsut jumps here and there as if under some massive lag. Also this renders the rest of my pc unresponsive. cant start,alt tab or ctrl alt del. i tried disconnecting the mouse from the usb hub and putting it back in but no good.it doesnt even detect it because my pc is left hanging. i end up having to restart the pc everytime. I even deleted the installtion of the setpoint thing for logitech but still no good.id really appreciate some help here guys.much thanks in advance.I really need your help please

yeah try to re-install drivers then post what you are getting.
ok will do guys but i find it hard to believe that a mouse would lead to my whole system stalling.alsoi restarted my computer and left it as it was while i went out. i came back and nothing was responsive.mouse keyboard desktop all frozen.something tells me this isnt to do with the mouse.i even cleaned out the pc,dust and stuff.ill see how it goes.
ok i reinstalled the drivers for my mouse.cleaned out the insides of my pc but the problem persists. windows just hangs up after a while of inactivity. as long as im using the pc there is no problem but if i leave it for like 30 minutes or so it just hangs up.what do i do? should i just reinstall windows ? It all started last night when i was going to sleep and i had my playlist playing. it kept hanging up after like 30 minutes or so and the problem is still there no matter what i try.ive done virus scans and spyware adware scans and they show up with nothing.pc isnt heating up or anything coz i can play crysis on hihg settings for hours on end so i dont know what it is.

If you want to boot into safemode keep hitting F8 after you power up your computer, this will give you a list of boot options and Safe Mode should be at the top (select it with the arrow keys and press enter). Once your in Safe Mode run your virus scanner (I suggest Avast 4). Hopefully if there is a bad virus it will detect it and delete it. If that fails you may have to do a repair install of Windows.

oooo dont tempt me i really want a new mouse. but seriously though i did the F8 thing and i kept geting sent into the boot menu but all it shows there is somehting like:removable diskhard diskcdromseach of those has my hardware listed.so instead i ran a full registry scan and got rid of problem entries.over 2000 of them.i'll see how this plays out.just to make sure though its nothing to do with say my ram or motherboard or so is it? because i can play any game at its highest for hours on end and also have no hang up whilst im using the pc.just when i leave it idle.thanks for your helps so far guys.concealer

What tv resolution is this compared too?
1280x720, that is 720P right? Or what res is 720P? 1080 P?What tv resolution is this compared too?
yep, 1080p is 1920x1080What tv resolution is this compared too?
yes 1280x720 is 720p, and 1920x1080 is 1080pYou can also get 480i, the standard resolution of an sdtv, and 1080i, which is sort of 1080p but with every other line refreshing alternately rather than all at once.
so 1280x720 is like a 720P tv?

Tell me if this makes sense......please.
ok, so the old m9750 laptop is 17 inches, with T7200, and 7950 GTX meaning its more of a power hog. Well the new laptop has a 8800m gtx, T7600, and is smaller 15.4 inches, either way alienware gives me bull saying that my computer is not powerful enough (watts) to power the new stuff, while all of them take a fraction of the power, my card takes 40, and 8800m is 35, regardless im wondering should i just buy it and install myself?Tell me if this makes sense......please.
Alienware has always been know as a company that wants your money no matter what, though I have no idea with laptops. If what they say is true then you would have wasted money but it probibly could be fixed by switching one part.Tell me if this makes sense......please.
ya thats whati was thinking lol they were saying o no u can upgrade then they were like ummm no not compatible, i believe they are riding the m15x hype train. cuz both cards are mxm III

Sounds like Alienware is either full of BS, or has someone who knows nothing about the laptop answering your question.I guess it is possible it won't physically fit, or there is some sort of compatibility issues, but it seem as though power would not be a problem.

im not saying i want to do it, however, i think its complete BS that they wont upgrade it, all i want is to pay for my new card and get it installed

You need an expert that you feel he can do this job. I dun think you want someone to destroy yout toy or do yo ?

im not saying i want to do it, however, i think its complete BS that they wont upgrade it, all i want is to pay for my new card and get it installed

Soo, I have never built a computer before but I'm going to attempt to, I need your help. I need all of the following parts for my previouslly bought computer (I bought from dell, don't ask lol ) and I need to know if these will be all compatible. Motherboard : [URL]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131142[/URL]Ram : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211066Video Card : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130290Powersupply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153052I will be using the CPU that came with my computer it's not great but it'll do (on a tight budget) and it's an Intel Pentium 4 2.79 Ghz cpu.Thank you, please reply.Need help on purchasing/building a compu ...
not bad, cpu will hold you back alittle, but can hold you over until you get some more money. it will play one year old games great, but current games will play okayNeed help on purchasing/building a compu ...
[QUOTE=''j3ninja10'']not bad, cpu will hold you back alittle, but can hold you over until you get some more money. it will play one year old games great, but current games will play okay[/QUOTE]K thanks a ton, so everything's compatible and stuff?
Make sure your dell case can accommodate your motherboard. Dell's newer computer has the I/O panel built-in (at the rear) and other motherboards do not fit in the case. Also, keep in mind that you will have to reactivate Windows in about 2 weeks after using your hard drive with those upgrades.
get this mobo overall its better and cheaper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128059 also this card is a little bit better and once again cheaper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102700 it might not have 512mb of video ram but since both cards have 128bit from what ive hard it would be a bottleneck and you really need to upgrade you cpu really soon since i listed you cheaper parts try to get this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116037 at stock speeds it kills your pentium 4 and with that motherboard i listed it should overclock to great speeds
heres a cheaper powersupply too http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371006
Wait until the 9000 series come out, instead of getting a 8000 series. It'll support Direct X 10.1, the 8600 only has 10, and it's not compatible with any future ones. So getting a mid-range 9000 is way better than a mid-range 8000, so you should spend the extra $50 or so to make sure your PC will last more than a year.
K, thank you master shake I'll try to get the parts you listed.
[QUOTE=''dackchaar'']K, thank you master shake I'll try to get the parts you listed.[/QUOTE] go for it and if you can just push your budget like $40 that E2140 would help alot espically if you get a good overclock on it you should get around 2.8-3.0ghz no problem
