What are you running on the desktop in terms of programs? And Flash, etc? I would guess that any animated or 3D apps, now matter how basic, might trigger 3D. But that's a guess.

Anything which might fetch that off, like DCM or acetone, will damage the plastic bezel itself. As will scraping. Only covering it up with a bit of tape is likely to work.

As long as you have plenty of room, and a strong back if you need to move it, CRTs are good. Contrast is better than a TFT, and as you say, res often is as well - especially now most cheaper TFTs are...

I take it that you can't see your two previous posts with a picture of that PSU? As a new member, you're banned from posting links until you've made (IIRC) ten posts. It's an anti-pimping thing.

For a UK person I'd recommend Overclockers. Keep an eye on the B grade stuff, especially for gfx cards. After them, Scan.

LG don't really have any reputation in the monitor market, so it's hard to tell. My understanding is that currently TN is better than IPS for gaming though? (Faster response times). However, I'm...

Intel, with an i5 core. MMOs generally don't need very high powered graphics (because they don't want people not to be able to play because of low specs) but FPSs often do. As with all things, budget...

How old is this system? I haven't seen PSUs that low-powered since about 2001. Even if this is a very small form-factor jobbie, that seems pretty feeble. As I said, I'd need to see the full specs for...

It's not necessarily as simple as it appears. Reboots are a symptom of several things, and one obvious one springs to mind: the PSU. Is this an OEM machine, or a home build? OEM machines tend to have...

What I mostly got was torrent sites offering it. Looks like people like it, but not enough to pay for it...

Much more likely you are a teenager who think that know everything - hardly a rarity on the internet. And did you ever think that being rude to mods might be a bad idea? I certainly won't ban you for...

That's what we are trying to work out. If it's a pimp, it's not a very good one.

Good question, and you are right that Ryan's explanation is a little murky. As best as I can see, the answer is: T_display. As far as I can tell, his system measures the actual frame-rate displayed...

Both sets of drivers would take in turns to beat you. I'm not even sure it's possible in theory, but I certainly wouldn't try it.

Problem #1:

Windows does not detect an overclock, it just lists the official speed of the CPU. Use a program like CPU-Z to show the processor speed in real time. And yes, the multiplier (and thus...

I have a serious question: why an AK? It strikes me that there's a world of difference between guns for self defence (or sport) and ones like yours: effectively only a piece of fun. But the debate...

1) That BBC link is from 2005. It's also from doctors, who want to ban everything. It was ignored at the time and ignored since. There are laws in the UK about the age you can buy a knife, and the...

Still images only? I would guess that it's pretty much entirely down to the quality of the monitor. Graphics cards are for rendering moving images. I'd stick with on-board graphics and buy the best...

As your a foreigner, I will have to explain this to you: the Daily Mail is a bit like Godwin's Law - as soon as you resort to quoting it (except to point how many lies it is telling) then you have...

Much more complex. Gun crime stayed pretty constant for for some years after the law change following Dunblane. It then crept up, but only due to a rise in gun crimes carried out by black gangs,...

Congratulations: you've just come up with a great definition of politics. And campaigning for office. It probably needs a phrase about Confirmation Bias, but otherwise it's perfect.

I've had faulty other components take out a PSU, but never the other way around. In general, a PSU is pretty well cut off from everything else if it over-volts. But... nothing is certain. I'd...

What made you think that I did? I like to point out that most people on your country clearly know nothing about what being Left Wing actually means, but this is just mockery, because I now that none...

The impression I got from across the water was that Huntsman was the only Republican candidate not pandering to the extremist end of the party. Which is why he lost. And also why he was by far the...

Yes. But I'm not sure what you mean by your politics heading in our direction?
