    Asus R9 280x Matrix Platinum DOA

    Also, does anyone know if either the Matrix or Direct CU II 280s have PSU requirements? I've got a Corsair 650 watt PSU -- maybe this isn't enough. I would think it's okay though as long as I'm not running SLI/Crossfire.

    Asus R9 280x Matrix Platinum DOA

    For me, no POST. I hit the power button, the fans spin up on the card, and then nothing. I'm using an MSI P67A-GD55 with the latest UEFI version. MSI hasn't released an update for this board for about a year or more. I've got an ASUS GTX 570 Direct CU II. Swapping out drivers shouldn't...

    Asus R9 280x Matrix Platinum DOA

    I just received an Asus R9 280x Direct CU II. Same problem. Fans start up, two green lights next to the power connectors, but no POST. I tried reseating multiple times and also tried the other PCI-E slot. Unfortunately, my BIOS was already up to date, although I'm running an older LGA 1155...

    Pentium 4 vs Pentium 4-M: does it matter? (I think this belongs here...)

    I don't know anything about the sockets. All I can tell you about architecture is that I remember that the P4-M was one of the first mobile processors with a dynamic clock speed that would adjust with demand to save energy.

    Pentium 4 vs Pentium 4-M: does it matter? (I think this belongs here...)

    I had a P4-M Dell from that era but I remember that Sager and a few others sold laptops with standard desktop P4s. I don't think the standard P4s were meant to be used in laptops, as the ones I remember were substantially bulkier than the P4-M models, probably because of extra hardware to...

    Battlefield 3 General Discussion Thread

    I bought 1942 because of DC. Desert Combat was pretty much what got me hooked on the series. I remember how all of the aircraft were dog slow but none of the AA missiles had any guidance. I got quite a few kills with the stinger by just by leading the target. The balance between AA and...

    Anyone gone to Ubuntu 11.04 yet?

    I just did a clean install on a new desktop as well as upgrade an older 13" laptop. Unity is much more suited to the laptop with a constrained viewing area but seems ridiculous on my multi-monitor desktop. I can deal with the new launcher -- it's not a bad idea, but making it more customizable...

    1920x1200 resolution monitors

    From the recommendations on this board, two years ago I got an HP LP2475w: 1920x1200, IPS, DisplayPort/multiple DVI input. I would have thought something better would have come along in the time since, but I notice that 1) people still recommend this monitor over the new HPs and 2) this monitor...

    Resolution changes when monitor shuts off

    Just to update -- I just put together a new machine with an nVidia GTX 570 with DisplayPort connected to an HP LP2475w monitor. For the most part, this only occurs when waking up the monitor from sleep mode, but sometimes it does happen during boot. Windows tells me the monitor is running at...

    SSD Noob questions

    In Windows, symbolic links are usually referred to as "shortcuts." You can make symlinks on your OS/SSD drive point to applications on a slower magnetic drive with more storage.

    I'll be going to college this year and've been looking at thinkpads

    I currently have a 14 inch 16:10 Thinkpad T61 which has been running like a champ for the past 3.5 years I've had it. It's fairly lightweight and durable too. However, it's time for me to upgrade as I develop software that is I/O and CPU bound. I looked at getting a new T series, specifically...

    New HP DV6QE w/sandy + AMD6770m

    I would be all over this laptop if it weren't for the screen resolution being too low and no option to upgrade. Great bang for the buck otherwise.

    Macbook + Windows + Linux?

    I use refit on a second generation MacBook with Linux. From what I remember, it isn't too hard to set up.

    Sandy Bridge notebook discussion

    I find it funny that nearly 10 years ago 15" laptops with 1600x1200 resolution were quite common. Today, you can't find anything like that.

    HP Envy 14 - thoughts? particularly re: fan noise/heat

    I'm also interested in the Envy 14. I'm hoping HP will announce a Sandy Bridge refresh soon, offering a competitive (and hopefully cheaper) option to the MBP.
