Re: Computer problem.

If you have upgraded your gfc card and you have a weak PSU, then it could be that. Check the PSU is suitable for the output needed for the gxf card.

Re: Computer problem.

It could be any number of things. Sometimes heat, or a power issue on one of the rails, or hard drive issues. Have you tried dumbing down the cs settings, such as graphics settings to see if you get a longer period before it dies. How does it die? Does it just quit cs and back to desktop or does it ...

Re: Upgrade or New build dilemna

Performance would improve, but like you say, it would be a limited increase. In your situation, I would try to get all the parts in one go or at least plan to get all the parts eventually, over a period of weeks. You could get the GFX card now and then maybe in a while get the mainboard and CPU and ...

Re: Upgrade or New build dilemna

Its a lovely card, esp as its DDR5, but think its been superceeded now by another model, as stock is hard to come by. But I would say, any 4870 Card is good, as long as its DDR5. Get a Gig one if you can... With regards to any component, I would suggest you "track" your desired item. For e...

E-reciepts suck when they get deleted, and you have no proof that you paid for the game.

Re: RAID

Its actually quite simple once you do it a few times, so I know what you mean if you havent done it before. Its all pretty much done ( depending on your mainboard ) from a setting just after the bios. Some call it a RAID Utility which is a secondary option when you boot the PC. You basically add the...

Re: Hammer Editor (CS:S) problem

When you say it worked yesterday, was that on the same map etc?

Does it do it if you create a different map? Perhaps try it with a simple example map and see if that works?

Maybe you have changed a directory name or something. Im sure the answer will come.
