PC Starting Trouble
by Guest TheBand- 3 replies
- 1.1k views
Hello everyone, I wanted to post on here and pick some brains about what I had encountered today. I went to start my comp up and during start up I got my Bios beep, my mobo boot screen, and then when it began to boot my drives and periphs, my fans began to hum at a lower frequency and the screen went black. Fans would hum higher frequency and then lower freq as if they were hunting. Sounds almost like a power issue to me. When I went to hard reset the computer she powered up for a second like she should normally (all I can say is the sound of my fans coming on) however this time no BIOS beep, blank screen and the fans immediately dropped rpm (lower freq sound). I h…

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help me with tethering my phone so I can use it's internet on my PC. I tried using FoxFi, but it would leave my computer with limited connectivity and no internet. I couldn't get a working link for PdaNet's Windows client either. I have a nonrooted Galaxy s2 4g on Sprint with unlimited data plan. Please help me!

CPU issues
by Guest PainKiller- 2 replies
- 1.1k views
So my current guess is that the reason I go from 60 FPS down to 5 FPS randomly in BF3 is because "throttling" is on or something like that on my processor settings. I did alt tab out of game and I saw my CPU at 100% and went from 3500 to 885 Mhz then back to 70% and 3500Mhz Can anyone help me turn the setting off? (i got AMD phenom II 970 black)

Artifacts help.
by Guest Marine6186- 2 replies
- 1.1k views
Hey gents, Hoping someone can shed some light on this issue. In game I occasionally see jeeps with purple rims, tanks with bright colors, missing "sections" of the ground, and annoying lines they you only see zoomed in. I believe someone else recently posted about their artifact issues http://clanunknownsoldiers.com/barracks/showthread.php?19603-Here-s-what-I-mean-when-I-say-quot-There-are-so-many-artifacts-quot-on-BF3-%28Video%29&highlight=artifacts. My issues are nothing like that. Doesn't happen every round, most of the time it is just some of the colors are wrong and I see bright purples and pinks. This has also just recently started (past 3 weeks) The only …

R.A.T. 9 is money
by Guest M240guy- 4 replies
- 1.4k views
So I picked up a new toy yesterday. Cyborg R.A.T. 9 mouse. What a money piece of hardware! I had been pretty happy with my Mamba, but this CRUSHES it. So smooth and precise and insanely adjustable and comfortable. And the default dpi setting increments are just perfect for transitioning from turrets to infantry. I assume the RAT 7 is just as good if you just can't bring yourself to buy a wireless gaming mouse, but the battery seems to last a long time (there is an easy-to-see meter on the side) and it comes with two so you can always be charging one and switch well before yours goes dead when you have a free sec. Mad Catz (I can't believe I am talking up anything sold by …

Co-op connection help
by Guest M240guy- 2 replies
- 963 views
I am hoping someone has seen this issue and knows how it might be worked through. I have only done cursory digging and will continue to research. When I try to start a co-op game with one of my friends, my side hangs up on "initializing." It does this whether I initiate the game, or the friend. LCpl.TheBand might be able to explain what he saw from his end. From my end, once it goes to the "initializing" message, nothing else ever happens. I have tried turning off Trend and Win Firewall. I have not looked too deeply into any router settings (and suspect this may be the root of the issue, since it seems to be on my end). Other standard MP works fine, so I do not think it i…

Looking for input on a PTT issue....
by Guest M240guy- 0 replies
- 571 views
OK. I have run into an odd quandry that I was hoping I could get some help with. When boots on the ground, or in a land vehicle, I use my mouse and a G13 game keyboard, but when I fly I use an XBox 360 controller. The tricky part is the PTT function. Even if I could have 2 separate commands both initiate PTT in TS (which I cannot), there are no free buttons on the XBox controller. Since I don't use my main keyboard in-game, should I just map jump to some other button and then assign that to my G13? Then I could make space PTT and just push down on the space bar while holding my gamepad and map space to the button I use on my mouse. That seems the easiest route to me. Am I…

D3 Agent.exe loop temp fix
by Guest RET.GEN.Darmine- 0 replies
- 821 views
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4699330301?page=1#2 This fix is if your game loops, if it just sits after updating and when you hit play it says "initializing" and doesn’t do anything. You can also start the game. Hit playHit Control + alt + del Win task manager Then go to processes tab Find agent.exe End process and repeat until game starts. This has worked for me, every update I have had, has messed up my game. It seems the agent file doesn’t want to run or it loops. It's really sad I have to do all this just to get the game to run.

http://sellout.woot.com/sale/razer-tron-gaming-mouse-8 I have an old Dell mouse from work that I got like 2 years ago and it was used at the time. Wondering if this mouse is worth it. I do not want a crazy mouse with weights and 100 buttons, just a 5-7 button mouse with a good solid feel. If people have other suggestions I'm open to those as well, thanks!

Hey Guys.... Anybody Know About Overclocking?
by Guest famusjupiter- 4 replies
- 1.3k views
I just heard about this and started researching it.... Does anybody really do this? Does anybody know how I would get into the processor BIOS or w/e to get a little better performance? How about video card OC'ing? If your video card is built in with your processor, is it even possible? If anybody would be willing to lend some advice to a total tech/systems/hardware/net noob, I'd be grateful. I've got an HP Pavilion g series laptop; It's a Vision A6-3400m. --AMD Vision A6, which is a quad core, 1.4ghz with so-called 'turbo boost' speeds of up to 2.3ghz --4gb of ram, and like 12gb of vram --Radeon HD 6520G, with (suprisingly) only 2037mb of total ava…

BF3 Tiny Text
by Guest Guts4- 2 replies
- 987 views
I'm sure it's a simple explanation but since launch the name indicator text for me has been super tiny and hard to read especially against more open back drops like the mountains or skies and even fire. My graphics card is Nvidia GTX 590, I run the game on ultra settings at 1920 x 1080 resolution, and is displayed on a 55 inch LED TV. ...... and before I get some crap NO! I'm not old or need glasses LOL Whenever I watch youtube videos of BF3 I can read their names much more clearly. Thanks in advance, guys. I'd sure appreciate a fix but at the very least an explanation. See YOU... on the battlefield!
