Gaming PC Build!!!

Windows wont activate without it. In 3 days your screen goes black and stuff.

 

My screen resolution is waaay to large for my screen and I can't see the outside of the screen. WHen I go to change resolution there are only two options and teh other is super widesceen, even worse. Do I need to throw in the drivers cd for the gpu or something?

 

Yep, get the ones from their website. this guarantees that they are the latest version.

 

If you don't have a legit CD key to verify windows you are verifiably screwed, as another member put it. Go to start -> right click on my computer -> properties and make sure your copy is showing as validated. I bet it isn't, and unless that other member provided you with a CD key you'll be locked out of the OS in a few days.

There are ... ways around this. PM me if you need a copy of windows at "less than market value"

 

This is my current case. Built it in 2001, upgraded the mobo in 2003 and the hard drives in 2006.
Freaking thing doesn't even have USB 2.0 (came out a couple of months later)
AMD XP2800+ on an MSI mobo.

The front panel audio connectors have been removed, and the hard drives have been moved to the top of the case, one behind the thermometers (which have been removed) and the other in a removable drive tray with fans.

Two 120mm fans in the rear, four 80mm fans on the side, one 120mm fan behind the gray panel in front.
CPU cooler has a 92mm fan... it's a copper base with aluminum threaded pins to pull the heat away.

One thermostat probe was attached to the back of the GeForce right behind the GPU, and the other was on the bottom of the CPU cooler next to the core (core is thicker than the probe. With the entire case lined with Dynamat, the case temp ran warm on a hot day even with all of the fans, but it was pretty stable and I never had a problem with graphics rendering with the GeForce 2-Ultra.

Mind you, my cell phone has more processing power!

Is that thing still kicking? Do you use it much?

 

It says my windows is activated? It even shows a product key.....

 

Nice! My old build is getting a bit long in tooth but it still kicks ass.

Nvidia Reference 680i LT
Core2Quad Q9650 @ 3.8ghz.
8 gb. RAM
Samsung 250 SSD boot drive
Seagate 1tb. storage drive
EVGA GTX 560ti @ 1.0 ghz. 2200 on the memory bus
Antec 750w PS

I want new tech but I don't game so much anymore.

 

I'm still waiting on DD4 before I build a new system
...probably be waiting quite a while longer

 

Don't ask any more questions Move on. Yay! Install drivers and get some games on that beast!

I'll just leave this here ....

P.S. Does anyone know how to change your steam name lol

 

When my windows boots up or shuts down, the size of the screen is fine. But as soon as im at the desktop or anything else, its huge. I'm gonna try and change it through the gpu utilities but I'm not sure if that is the right place

Edit: Disregard, on boot up after driver install everything is fixed

 

Nope, been trying to figure that out for years since my Steam user name is a big fat typo.

 

Shit there is 26 people viewing this thread for the last couple hours and only two people saying anything!
