Thank you AWAR :) Just as I hit post I thought to myself I should probably find an example of screen tearing to clarify things, but you were already way ahead of me. You're just full of useful links today!

It wouldn't be the games that'd be the problem, it's just how TV's interpret the signal from the PC. Whether it be a console port or a PC exclusive game they'll send the information to the graphics card and that'll output in the PC standard. Originally monitors were designed to be pixel...

For a PC you'd definitely want the higher resolution TV especially at that size, but the main question would be is the refresh rate any good. Forgive me if I'm stating something you already know this but the refresh rate is how quickly the screen/TV can completely update the picture you're...

I think you're on the right track, personally I think the best way of getting into PC gaming is buy a pre-built system and then build it up over time as you grow more confident. And the link AWAR provided is actually pretty useful, it shouldn't let you pick incompatible parts. I've managed to...

I'm going to be contrary to xXSnowyXx and say it sounds like the graphics card screwing up, it seems like the graphic card is ignoring the settings and setting the refresh too high of it's own accord and the monitor is just shrugging and going to read a book until the card starts playing nicely...

I don't see anything which would cause concern (except for the power issues previously stated), it should just be a whack it in and go job, no pin configuration (in theory the motherboard should default to the installed card), nothing in the way on the motherboard (from what I could see), maybe...

You shouldn't have any issues, just make sure you remove the drive with the old OS from the boot list in the BIOS to avoid booting up from it, or if you can't remove it move it right down the list. Assuming your installing windows, and the old OS is a windows too, you might want to leave the...

I agree with Calibanbutcher, give the poor advice forum some love! But anyway, many moons ago I had a Belkin router that would disconnect my computer from the internet while using P2P or doing heavy downloading. The other computer/laptops would still be connected to the net and the affected...

Always willing to help a fellow man-child out. Looking through this site [http://www.m-m-world.com/MMBar.html] it looks like the Double Takes came out in 1998. Unfortunately that site has a few broken pictures, however these appear to be what your looking for - These are the other...

I replied in the one in off-topic, but just in case here's a repost.... For the bolt lock problem, there's a little screw you need to tighten on the trigger assembly. Have a look at the attached video, the bolt lock is mentioned around 1:40ish. Not sure about the misfeed, all I can...

For the bolt lock problem, there's a little screw you need to tighten on the trigger assembly. Have a look at the attached video, the bolt lock is mentioned around 1:40ish. Not sure about the misfeed, all I can suggest is make sure everything is tightened, aligned and lubricated as...

I'll add another voice to 'Wait for Christmas!' I probably spent about $60 in the last Christmas sale and still haven't got around to playing half the things, and it's only 2 months away. Although if you must spend now, I'd say Bastion. Slightly off track but still on topic (sort of), if...

I'm moving to a new place on Saturday, so far I've - Not packed anything Not informed any utilities that I'm moving Not informed the council I'm moving Not applied for a redirection Or done anything else which is involved in moving. What can I say? Surely preventing the Aztecs from...

I think the main thing to sort out is the space, I'm amazed windows even loads with that, without sufficient space windows will start to act really strange... okay, stranger than usual and so that's saying something! I also think the flash download program is a meg and then it downloads 20 odd...

I'm 32 and still get carded occasionally, not as much as when I was in my 20's but it does still happen. People usually say I look early 20's. And its not as if I never go outside in the sun, I worked as a postie for 8 years in all weathers so I've had my fair share of sun, rain, snow, hail...
