    PC Peripherals Weird system problems

    Hmm... didn't circle them as I was hoping that if they were real burns others would see them without the need to point them out. So guess those are not a real problem then? (fyi they are the dark regions beneath the plastic visible on the fins - lower right corner of card in the pic)

    Graphic Cards GPU Advice needed

    I think the 1GB one would be a better choice as I don't really plan on upgrading later. So its the HD 6850 for me (unless the GTX 460 is available somewhere for the same price). BTW does anyone know which one of the MSI R6850 OR the Sapphire HD 6850 would be a better choice?

    PC Peripherals Weird system problems

    Hmmm.. I just took out my GPU from the cabinet (powered it off when the comp had restarted) and noticed that the GPU seems to be burnt or at least thats what it looks like to me (see attached pic). Think it is the GPU that may have overheated?

    Graphic Cards GPU Advice needed

    Hi, I have been facing a few problems with my rig and think it may be due to a problem with my GPU (HD4850) so am thinking of getting another GPU (at least would have a spare in case of emergencies if that is not the culprit). Any suggestions for a GPU (haven't tried Nvidia as yet as was...

    PC Peripherals Weird system problems

    Everything is running at stock Hmm... dont have another GPU/SMPS. I did run memtest a few weeks back and found no issues, will probably try it again now. If not guess I would need to buy another GPU (might as well have a spare anyway :)) and check with that. I did check the voltages in BIOS...

    Hi, My desktop system (specs in signature below) has recently started acting weird. When powering on it sometimes reboots halfway into Windows booting and sometimes even after booting "freezes" for a few minutes and then restarts. Initially a few weeks back it used to indicate normal booting...

    No, Android Not as Open as You Think

    I do not see great benefits to end users with Android phones. It just seems to be another phone OS that we should consider based on its features. Nothing more. BTW, here is my other thread where this was discussed prior to the news articles mentioned above breaking out.

    HTC Desire in Bangalore

    Hmm... couldn't find one anywhere in Chennai either (did get an assurance that they would have more stock by Diwali though). May no longer be worth getting one now though. Especially with dual-core mobiles set to hit us late next year.
