  1. Hey guys, I've got some money to spend and I just wanted your opinions on what you best think I should upgrade in my pc build below: CPU: amd Fx6300 Motherboard: Asrock R2.0 Pro3 GPU: Gigabyte R9280x PSU: Corsair CX600 Ram: 2x 4gb corsair HDD: 1TB Seagate Thanks in advance, John UPDATE: Region - Australia, Brisbane Budge - maximum $200 I use my computer for latest games by the way, and so far I can run nearly all games on ultra.
  2. Well do any of you guys know when Windows 10 will be released? I heard a rumour of around end July 2015...?
  3. Hey guys! For a few days now, every time I turn my computer on, it performs normally for around 3 minutes before it automatically shuts down, displaying a blue screen stating: page fault in non-paged area. I am thinking of downgrading to Windows 7 again, because I've totally over all the windows 8 bugs and errors. I am also experiencing the error 'Application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware', and thus freezing my screen, whenever I play any sort of game on steam and I have to restart the game. Do you think I should go down to Windows 7 or stay for Windows 8.1...?

Hardware Specs: Cpu - AMD FX6300 Cpu Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO MotherBoard - Asrock R2.0 Pro 3 Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series (2 x 4gb) DDR3-1600 memory GPU: Gigabyte R9 280x Windforce 3GB HDD: Seagate 1TB PSU: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Semi - Modular OS: Windows 8.1 Case: NZXT S340 My current driver version - 9.14.10.0.1080. Catalyst 15.4 P.S. I never have and never will overclock any of my system specs.
  5. Hey guys, The other day when I was playing Battlefield 3, I received an error pop up again - Driver Failed to Respond but has Recovered, and the screen froze and BF3 crashed, and just today I received an error similar to the previous one stating: Application has been blocked from accessing graphics card hardware and thus freezing and crashing the game. This error seems to occur on any game, and even sometimes when i'm merely browsing YouTube. It mustn't be my Graphics Card because I only just bought it a few days ago, and this error has been happening for awhile now... I really need help! I did some research and apparently it can be caused by the MB or faulty RAM. Could you guys possibly give me your suggestions and any solutions to this error please? Thanks in advance, John P.S. I have already tried uninstalling and re-installing my graphics drivers and as well as re-installing all of Windows 8.1.
  6. Ok guys, thanks so much with your advice!!! It looks like i'll be buying a Sapphire R9 280x Vapor-x in the coming few days. Thanks again for the help! John.
  7. Yeah I would too, but apparently an R9 280x is on par with a GTX 960 and 970 supposedly
  8. Hey guys, In a few days I'll be purchasing myself a new graphics card; R9 280x. Can you guys give me your opinion on which brand of R9 280x is most reliable, best performance, cooling, etc.... Thanks in advance! John.
  9. Hello, Just the other day I bought myself a desktop case (NZXT S340) and a CPU cooler (Cooler Master Hyper) to transfer all the hardware within my old casing to the new casing. The process transferring everything to the new case didn't take too long however when I hooked it up with my monitor, the screen displayed "No signal". I'm having trouble understanding what I did wrong. When I turn the computer on each time all the fans work (GPU, PSU, Chasis Fans, CPU fan). When I removed the stock cpu fan I did clean the old thermal paste off and removed it. I just can't figure out what's causing my computer not to display anything on my BENQ monitor. P.S. One of the first times however when I tried turning it on, my monitor actually did display a few lines, stating the specs of my computer and underneath that a menu that gave me a few options of pressing DEL, F12, etc, etc. However my keyboard wasn't responding at I was forced to hold my computer's pwr button until it shut down. Ever since then I haven't been successful. Specs:PSU: CX600M Corsair CPU: AMD FX6300 Motherboard: Asrock R2.0 Pro AM3+ Graphics Card: MSI R9270x Gaming 2Gb HDD: 1TB Seagate Ram: 2x4Gb Corsair I really hope I can get some answers for this problems because I'm really panicking at the moment. Thanks In advance! John9786
