Hi all, I'm having really big framedrops lately while playing BF3. But the last few weeks, it's only getting worse en worse.

I've tried anything and everything to overclock my machine, but no matter what i do the core speed isn't going up from the default 3.3 GHz. I've enabled turbo mode, tried it in both auto and manually setting it to like 4.2 GHz and after i reboot nothing has changed. DIGI +VRM settings are all set to very high or extreme. Tried changing voltage on chip to about 1.2 volts, with no dice. Running CPUz shows core voltage going anywhere from 0.8 up to 1.05 when on both auto and manually set at 1.2 GHz. Core speed shown always at about 1648MHz (Core 0, assuming all are set about the same) multiplier at x 16.0 and bus speed at 103MHz. I've tried running the auto-overclock program…

Problems with TS voice recognition and TS overlay plugin
by Guest DragonBoon- 8 replies

Hello Gentleman, just as the title says I have some serious problems with TS not probarly working voice recognition and the overlay plugin. I can't get it working to make TS say teammate names when they choin the channel I'm in. If I activate the overlay plugin I get weird statics and can't understand a single word people in TS are saying. I've pretty much searched everything here in the forum and google to solve the problem. I reinstalled TS to install the English instead of the German version without a positive result. I've tried all the settings that our tutorial threads are offering, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

I've posted on the Astro forums about my headset I have from them but I haven't gotten an answer, and I've been scouring around checking on possible fixes... My setup: Creative SB X-Fi Titanium (unrelated) Astro A40 Headset with the Mixamp (connected with USB) I can't recall having this problem, but when I load up Teamspeak or when certain maps load in BF3 or certain games (minecreft) the audio in my headset begins to crackle and pop and if I close said program...the crackle is still there...only when I unplug the device from the USB does the sound reset and I'm able to hear clearly again. Just unhooking the headphones from the mixamp doesn't work..has to be the U…

Hi guys! Since the B2K patch (and game) got released I've gone from having about 80-90 fps at all maps to 40-55 fps. Been thinking alot about it but since I'm not a computer nerd I'm asking you if you know anything I can do to give me more FPS. What I've done so far: 1. Tried 3 diffrent Antivirus: Avira Antivir, Telia Firewall/Antivirus (my ISP's suggestion) and Avast. I've Virus scanned my computer like 10 times in less than a week (tried them all) 2. Done several Registry Clean with a program called "Registry Clean Expert) 3. Downloaded and updated my drivers for my Nvidia 470 GTX Gainward 1Gb 4.

Hi guys! I've had some major issues with windows7 since a few months back ago, I've been trying to google it but without results. The problem for me is that Windows is shutting down program when I am trying to launch them. The message is: This problem can pop-up whenever I install and try to launch a new game, program or something like that. (Thank God it diddn't "Stopped working" when I installed BF3) Does anyone know what I can do about this because I'm starting to think about re-installing this "crab" windows just to get rid of the program.

Hey guys, I'm planning on upgrading my ram. I have currently 6GB of Bufallo ram, and I want to buy the same set again (3x2 gb). My mobo has enough space for another 3 sticks. What I want to know, is if I can just buy it and click it in, or is installing additional ram really an advanced process? If so, can someone tell me how to install? Thanks, SA.iNoizZ

Bought the follwing: 24 inch LG monitor 1920x1080 monitor to replace my 19 inch 1280x1024. EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti Superclocked 1024MB to replace my 9800 GT x 2 in SLI.

I know that you all are PC people, but you are the biggest nerds i know, I have lost all of my nerd skills in the 5 years since i was active.. anyways, my xbox.. when hooked up via hdmi, i have a white line down the screen and the image is bumped left a bit, oh, and there is no sound. none whatsoever. When i use my component cable, the sound works fine, but the entire screen has a greenish tint to it, making playing it unfathomable. I have been on hold with xbox listening to indian music for the last half hour, so i figure i will ask here and probably get a faster response. last i tried with the hdmi was about a week ago, and it worked fine, and here at home, i am usin…

The Future of AMD, AMD users be very scared
by Guest xSubo- 9 replies

My best friend since 5th grade (im 29) works down in Austin designing cellphone cpu's, before that he had a small stint at AMD down in Austin, well we did our annual tradition of a movie and midnight whoppers yesterday and he began informing me of the new direction AMD is taking. I'm sure alot of this can be found in articles online or in magazines but this info is straight from the source, uninhibited. AMD hired a new CEO, he fired 15% of the staff, and announced the new directions the company may take. In short this new CEO wants to dump the whole PC side of AMD and leave intel and nvidia to handle pc's, and begin focussing on mobile devices and apps for mobile devices.…
