The processor is most responsible for smooth playback of any video files. The graphics card is very responsible for smooth playback of HD video files. A good combination of CPU and GPU should yeild best results. AMD and ATi or Intel and nVidia. The CPU should have a strong core, regardless of...

It isn't likely with a 9250 that you have overheating problems but it's always a possibility. Could also be conflicting drivers. Always un-install old drivers and reboot before installing new ones. No matter what the manufacturers do to prevent conflicting drivers it's always a good thing to...

-Go to My Computer. -Right Click on an empty space in the window and select properties. -Select "Hardware" Tab -Click on Device Manager -Double Click on "Sound, Video and Game Controllers." -Look for a model name of your sound device. It could be anything except: Audio Codecs Legacy...

In your case I would buy the 4870 for sure, do not buy the pre-overclocked version, it's a waste of money. You might squeze out 5% more power out of it for the 60 euros more, so it's not worth it and you can always just overclock it yourself. The 4870 will be just fine with a 500 - 600 watt...

Could possibly be your GFX, see if it's seated in the socket nice and tight. Take it out, clean the pins with some alcohol and put it back in. Maybe it will work maybe not. It could also be your PSU as scorps said. __________ Post Count: Post # - 67

Whatever happens... change is good. CPUs and GPUs made by the same ppl and made to work together doesn't sound like such a bad idea... though could they ever catch up to Intel's and AMD's standards? __________ Post Count: Post # - 65

Greetings my friends... I've got a question. I just got a $60 DVD player that allows video upscaling up to 1080p. This is my first "baby step" towards high-difinition. I used to use my PS2 as a DVD player and compared to this thing and running video through HDMI the PS2=POS. BE GONE...

Your Lappy will be just fine. Most thermal compounds are not conductive.. -Just make sure that if the card looks like this, only apply the thermal compound to areas outlined in RED. If the heatsink does not cover the GDDR memory chips on the board, do not cover them and worry only about the...

Most machines check diskette presence in the drive.. Once, twice, maybe three times durring boot-up, and sometimes dirring installation. In my opinion it's completely normal... unless it does it constantly without stop. In that case... -Check another floppy drive, if it continues then it's...

Depending on the speakers of course, but you almost definitely will need an amplifier to drive the un-powered speakers. If I am understanding you correctly- you are trying to drive them with your motherboard? Because that's a "no no." You need an iron, but you can also just twist up the wires...

Yes, and Arctic Silver is not worth $9 in my opinion, it will lower your temps 2C maybe 3C degrees compared to the normal grease or heatpad. -The best you can do for your CPU is to apply whatever paste correctly, that will lower your temps more than anything else. Things to keep in mind...

Well, it's hard to get your hands on a piece of software that could load your GPU at 100% since almost no game uses a render engine capable of accessing every last bit of chip power. That's unless it was specifically made for that chip. Example: game consoles. -Oh, and CPU usage is commonly at...
