Oct 16, 2010Building the OS from scratch seem to me to be the best way to go when building a new computer. As time goes on after a year two or three the OS seem to get sick such as my auto run don't work no more and after Microsoft work on it for 3 hours it really don't run no more. Bugs, jitters, shakes and just old age. So after I build the computer I think I'm just going to build the OS from scratch. I've did it both ways, from scratch and just move it to the new computer and after I just reload the OS and rebuild it I feel so much better not to mention the computer runs like a high school student instead of someone like me that just took sum Vitamins.

Aug 6, 2011I have an AMD 790gx chip set with ati radeon hd 3300 graphics. When playing Stronghold Crusader the only two resolutions are 1024x768 and 800x600. With both of these selected the game is being stretched on the bottom and top and making it where I can't get to the building icons. The resolution on my computer is set to 1366X768. When dropping the screen resolution on my pc it either doesn't help or the Windows doesn't fit on the screen properly anymore. Anyone know how I can just turn off the game scaling either in windows or the Catalyst control panel. On my laptop the game just has black bars on both sides instead of trying to stretch the game. How would I go about turn this on my desktop.

Apr 15, 2012I wanted a computer that will last a while and be strong enough for some games I am not a big gamer, But I do have a few I play. [code] I have built many many computers in the past.I have only had one that gave me trouble as there was a pinning that was hidden. Since then I have built at least 8 with out trouble.So I went about collecting parts and building.I go to turn it on and only a flash of light at all of the lights. Then shuts down and nothing.I wait a few minutes and try again.i get the same result a flash of the fan lights then nothing so I am at a loss as to what is wrong.I changed cases, and I chaanged power supplies at different intervals. Nothing. i changed the case to a different one. and still no change.I have not changed the RAM. Nor the CPU. But I did try a different Mother board with the same cpu and ram. Still not change.I am to presume that I have a bad cpu and or ram, or these items do not like each other.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBSOD When Gaming
Jul 22, 2012When i game the game will freeze sound still plays but mouse everything locks up. Have to warm reboot. Other times it goes to black screen, and still have to warm reboot. I had this problem starting a year ago. At that time i did mem test, cpu stress test, gpu stress test, all came back fine. Back then it use to reboot itself. So, i figured maybe a psu issue, it was still under warranty so i sent it off, they did find a bad capacitor and replaced! Cool no a month after getting it back started doing as mentioned above. So, at that time i had a 8800GTX 1.5 gig video card in it. So, i spent the money and went to a Geforce 560 GTX 2 gig, eventhough i had stressed tested the 8800. Ok so a week or so went by all good then it started up again. Only has it locked up once while not gaming. Always locks on WOT(world of tanks unless i use the older 275 nvidia driver) DIdnt use to lock up with Diablo III, TSW, SWTOR, SCII. Untill recently sometimes its once or twice a night others its 3 or 6 times. I ran a Mem test a week ago ran for 9 plus hours no errors.
