Did you already try the calibrations on the TV itself, not via Catalyst?

Preface: I have been psychiatrist diagnosed as bipolar within the past several years. A physical ailment is easy to explain because most people can identify it. If you have a broken leg, a cast is put on it (depending on the factors) and in a matter of weeks, it comes off and you're on your...

Yeah, corrupt files will do some damage. Before you get too involved in trying to replace the corrupted files or reinstall Windows, it might be a good idea to make sure you don't have something else causing them. See if Memtest brings up some errors, and also see if your hard drive...

What are the specs of this system?

What is the issue? I'm not sure what to look for.

What are you doing with this system anyway? The reason I ask is that while a CPU can help, it may not be the best option for your needs.

You have an 1156 socket, and the only i7's that will work are an i7-8xx chip, which is the second option. (The other one is for socket 1366 and won't physically fit.) You also might want to make sure the motherboard has the BIOS support so you can flash it before popping the new chip in.

If you're looking at capacitors on the motherboard, it might be worth checking to see if some might be bulging. Examples.

You know, it's unnecessary to have the same post in two different areas. You can back up the data, but the OS is a different story. NT is old, and even though XP has only recently lost Microsofts support, the vulnerabilities that aren't patched wont' go away. If you want to stay with XP, that's...

The data, yes. Windows NT, not so much. I highly doubt NT is going to run on anything current as it probably hasn't been supported by Microsoft (and likely others) for 15+ years.

What are the system specs?

Something to add as this thread is old: All-In-One (AIO) water cooling kits: If you've been interested in water cooling, but don't want to mess around with piecing a set together or even assembling a kit, this might be something up your alley. Generally, these are all completely sealed (save...

Maybe it's just me, but having a bunch of social networking profiles isn't something I keep up with. Maybe I should have a LinkedIn one to point to and steer away from Facebook (I sometimes have rants that may be related to bipolar). However, outside of Facebook, I tend to lurk in a few forums...

Here's my take. Windows 7 is probably the best default choice because of familiarity and should work with all your programs. Having said that, if you're comfortable with Linux, given the limited power of your system, a distro like Fedora, CentOS, possibly Mint or Ubuntu (for a few examples)...

He already has Avast on his system.

I would agree the 270 would be fine. I run a Radeon 7850, which I believe is pretty equal to the 270, and until the past month, I was running a 1600x900 monitor and had a smooth experience.

On your memory sticks, it should say what voltage is needed. Your motherboard should detect this, but if not, you'll need to manually set that in BIOS. It may have a section for overclocking, power user, or something to that effect and that's where you'll want to look. If you're not sure, post...

While GIMP offers a similar feature set, I've found a difference in how you use it and Photoshop. Either one is fine, but Photoshop may offer more. My advice would be to download both (demos) and see what suits you best.

If your amp has an HDMI passthrough, you should be able to run the HDMI from the video card through it and use the sound on the amp. HDMI is primarily video, but to simplify things, audio channels are run through HDMI technology. I could be wrong, but I don't believe you will find an...

I ditched my Impala over another impending round of coolant system issues and possibly a head gasket. GM's 3400 engine is the devil. I'm much better off with this 1999 Honda Accord I got instead.
