Did running DriverCleaner help? It does sound more like a GPU-related issue than anything else, but if not, it could be the RAM.

Heh. What bugs me is that even the expensive warranty doesn't give you great customer service. When I bought my Dell notebook in 2004, it carried a $400 warranty (three years). Even with that, there were times when I spent well over an hour on the phone even though I knew what the problem was...

Instead of sitting around, they should get it fixed then. I tried to vote for a mod, and wasn't able to because it didn't show me it. I have to wonder how many other people have had this happen to them. It could be that some mods were kicked out when they shouldn't have been, simply because...

From our front-page news: It looks like the Psystar "open computer" isn't a scam after all. One Gizmodo reader received his rig and even took a video and a few pictures of the unboxing. From what it seems, the OS boots up and runs well, but it's difficult to tell from such a short video. The...

Man, that site is stupidly coded... I have no nicer way of saying it. Liquid Metal wasn't even shown earlier. Instead, I saw the Pentagram PC and also that red one. And for some reason, when there is more than one battle and I vote on one, it will say, "No more battles at this time" or...

From our front-page news: One would think that Dell, being the massive company they are, could deliver great customer service. But no. Instead, they've become notorious for out-sourcing their support to India. That in itself isn't the problem, but being unable to properly understand the other...

From our front-page news: I doubt too many gamers would disagree that arcades are a dying breed, and most will claim that they already are. It's true... it's difficult to find a good arcade now, and even if you happen to stumble on one, most of the games will be circa '80s or '90s. So what's...

From our front-page news: "Business Class" is a simple term, but it means great things. Better things. Things that regular schmucks can only dream of. Well, for those who are a fan of all that business class offers, AMD has got you covered. They have unveiled an entirely new processor line-up...

From our front-page news: Burn DVD's much? Ever curious about how long the data will remain on those discs? That's a common worry nowadays, and for good reason. If you burn precious family photos, you'd rather them be safe. Essentially, the only way to combat this going forward would be to...

The wait for an affordable 45nm Quad-Core is now over, and the Q9450 promises to become the ultimate choice of the new offerings. It's not much slower than the QX9650, offers 12MB of cache and as expected, has some fantastic overclocking ability. How does 3.44GHz stable sound? You can read the...

Have a $1,000 budget for a new notebook? Look no further than the ASUS M51S. Touted as a multi-media notebook, it offers a 15.4" screen, 250GB HD and 3GB of RAM. Included also are 4 USB ports, DVI and VGA outputs, full numpad, fingerprint reader, a face-detection logon system and more. You can...

Hmm, that's ridiculous, and I wish I could help. Next time I see Greg, I'll point him to this thread. Is your wife using any application that could be hogging the upload speed?

I agree... when a mistake is made, it's a pain. Most typing-test programs I've used in the past have been somewhat similar though.

Widescreen is not required, per se. The "Performance" mode uses 1280x1024, and I believe that's what most people will use since it's the default selection. I like how Futuremark asks editors with pre-release copies to keep shut with regards to sensitive information... then they go ahead and...

Are you saying they are interested in creating special chips that would be designed for the sole purpose of deciding on whether or not Apple OS X could be run? That would be an odd use of all that cash. I am very curious to see what the DoD will say regarding that purchase. Since they...

Well, "Tool" is just derogatory like Conrad said... to me, it's just a fill-in word. It might mean a hundred different things. To me, Tool = Idiot, pretty simple.

If you are like me and grew up with gaming magazines in your hands, then this post might make your day. RetroMags.com have scanned and released the first official issue of EGM and a PDF and have made it available for download: http://www.retromags.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2699...

Russia's super-rich love to flaunt their wealth. Soon they will have a magazine called Snob to help them. Mikhail Prokhorov -- whose wealth is estimated at around $22 billion -- plans to spend $150 million setting up a magazine, website and television station called Snob, the general director...

Tiger Direct holds the same event with the same name at CES. Go figure ;-) Good luck on that man... though you might not need it!
