    What Next Gen System Will Be Best?

    I don't get why so many people rate the wii so highly, its severely underpowered, its practically an xbox 1 with a different controller. Don't get me wrong, looks like it may be fun and it's probably my next buy but everything is gonna have to be seriously toned down. It just seems like a...

    Pc restarts

    Sounds like the gfx chip is overheating, the drivers are too old or the psu isnt powerful enough (not sure on the power reqs and how many things are attached to the psu)

    Goldeneye: Source Alpha Release

    Yes, but it also had some auto aim to compensate for the lack of crosshair, all you had to do was aim int he general direction. This version has neither a crosshair or any kind of auto aim making it much more difficult and of course a few people just stick somit to their screen leaving...

    Help Installing - Damaged DVD

    Look, you can't pull our leg, steam works like this, you register a key once, it unlocks the games for play, those games are tied directly to the account, they dont magically disappear when you log out and back in. If you log in with the right account the games will be there for download. The...

    Computer Restarts when saving game

    Clean the card, pure and simple, the fans on the 9800's heatsink love to hold onto dust, it can work fine on some games but not others, i had something similar, some games would push it to its limits others wouldnt and yes far cry isnt as hard on the machine as hl2.

    HL2 graphical scalability...

    Im afraid its your generic crap gfx chip thats the problem, its sharing system ram no doubt so the performance wont be great. Really to do any gaming on a laptop you need one that specifically states it has an ati or nvidia chip with its own dedicated ram. You might get it running with the...

    Hardware and Software Direct X??

    Generally if your card doesnt support dx9 it will revert to 8.1 or 8. Even if you change the settings unless you're using an fx series of cards you wont really notice a difference. The hardware setting is purely based on your graphics card.

    Console and view problems

    It'll be considerably better, considering it does dx9 while your current does dx7 and has no pixel shaders. You should get more ram though 256 isnt really enough, stick in another 512 and youll be able to play with fairly high settings.

    I really need help!!game keeps crashing!

    Make sure you check the fins of the heatsink aswell, dont just take a look at the fan, even if its clean the heatsink itself may be clogged up, infact its the most likly thing.
