My friend recently bought a 8600GTS-OC from Newegg. The card works fine until he runs a video or 3D application. The screen gets full of green doted blocks all over and in some cases, it crashes. He tried a good bit of drivers and nothing solves the problem. Please help as he bought the card in the states but we live in Trinidad, so sending it back to the manufacturer would be a very last resort.

My 7950gt is running way too hot out of the box, and I'm looking into some aftermarket coolers for the card. The thing is: I don't have any extra plugs on my mobo for another fan.

Is it possible to just plug the new vga fan into the old fan plug on the video card? Some of the fans had pics of the product plugging into the mobo.

I'm still a bit new to all of this. Thank you!

I just put a new almost top of the line soundblaster sound card into my computer to replace the onboard sound but now whenever i have itunes playing and a computer game on at the same time my sound "scratches" horriblly. It didn't do it with the onboard sound. I don't think its a problem with the card itself since it only does it when the two different programs are open.

I bought a motherboard with crossfire chipset and my graphics card is not Radeon but Geforce. Crossfire is made for Radeon. SLI is made for Geforce. Will I have any problems with a Crossfire motherboard with a Geforce graphics card? Will my Geforce 8600 be able to reach maximum capabilities with this Crossfire motherboard? Is there a way where I can convert the motherboard to SLI?

I have a new HP a6110n. It has 2gb DDR2 RAM already, but I just bought a nvidia 7600 GT 256mb video card to play some games. Would the extra gig make much of a difference, how about 2 more gigs? Do new fans make a difference in performance? anyone know another way to boost performance?

I have a second computer I built myself for the kids, and the hard drive has failed. I happen to have a SATA hard drive lying around, but the motherboard on the computer doesn't have SATA capacity. If I buy a SATA controller card, will I be able to use the computer with just the SATA hard drive? In other words, can I boot the computer and install Windows in this configuration, or does adding a SATA card require an existing, working hard drive with an OS installed?
