As the title suggests I am periodically recieving BSOD that warn me of a Video Scheduler Internal error. I downloaded the BSOD report app that the perminent thread suggest I do but I do not use drop box, One Drive, Google Drive or the other programs it suggested I link the zip. files to so hopefully they won't be necessary. If they are then I will try to set myself up with one of them, whichever is the quickest. In the mean time I can say that while I have been having random restarts on my system ever since I constructed it about a year and a half ago, usually what would happen is that it would just freeze and restart, the blue screen is a new wrinkle. The BSOD seems to roughly correspond with my downloading of Windows 10. I had taken my computer to my local computer service shop and it had been put through various tests including Valley Benchmarks all of which my system supposedly passed. I should mention I took it there just prior to getting Windows 10. I aslo ran into big scary noises a failures when I tried just once to run Valley on my own after just getting Windows 10. I assumed at the time that the reason why Valley freaked out was because at the time it did not have a Windows 10 option to run it, I thought wrongly it might still be able to run if I told the program it was the latest version the app did have listed 8.1. Prior to Windows ten I had Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. I bought it retail when I put my rig together about a year and a half ago.The CPU I am using is an intel i7 4930k, the video cars is an Asus GTX 780 3GB, motherboard is an Asus P9X79-E WS LGA 2011, and power supply a Corsair AX860i. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I appologize ahead of time for any missing data. If it absolutely essential will do my best to go back and provide it. Thanks. ~Christian

If I were so fortunate as to win this dynamic little CPU I would use it in my first ever water cooled pc. I also look forward to the opportunity using an X99 board and some of that new ddr4 ram and a couple gtx970 GPUs. I built my first pc this spring and it seems like a mere couple months later updates on just about every single part came out. It felt like I had bought a very nice and expensive house just before the housing bubble burst and all of a sudden I was under water on my mortgage. Ugh, such is life.

whoops.

Well, I'd kind of like to know what the spectrum of what is out there is like. I think for now anyways, the focus is more on bang for your buck.

Hey, Was just curious if any you out on the forum might have some suggestions for value laptops out there. Basically I'm looking to mostly use it for writing with the ocassional jaunt over to YouTube and Reddit. Thus the following are important to me: a comfortable keyboard, durability, reliability, a decent amount of storage, and a phenomenal battery life. All this for a relatively good price. I know the price puts a bit of a cap on what is feasible but considering that I don't necessarily need it to be a gaming laptop I'm hoping that there is something out there relatively close to what I want with a low price tag. (If I sell a book, I'll be back to talk about that gaming laptop.) Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

As the title states, I'm curious what the difference between these two versions are. My guess is the Free window usb version will be fine but I'm curious why someone would pay forty bucks for the Pro.

Ok. Will do. Thank you for your help. Going to bed now. I'll catch you later.

So far it has happened while in Firefox, Steam, and my VLC player. All of which you'd think my system could handle.I could, use one stick of RAM, but how could I tell which one if any was malfunctioning? What software do I need for a memtest? This was my first build and a lot of this diagnostic stuff is brand new to me.

Just curious if anyone might have a suggestion for where I should begin to look to understand why my months old home built rig is seemingly randomly shutting down and rebooting. It doesn't happen every time I'm on it and more often then not it happens under low load, like web surfing or playing a YouTube video. Plus it's filled with new,(fairly high end) equipment. So who would you say is the most likely culprit I should check in my rig? It is an economical version of Linus' ultimate editing build guide so it should be basically sound build wise. I have 24% space available on my system startup ssd, an intel 730. Could that be the issue? I don't know, I'm just lost and wish I was more knowledgable in troubleshooting.

Thanks. )

Is there a central linux site from whick to get VLC off of? I'm still learning my way around and am not terribly familiar with a lot of the stuff outside the mainstream big company world.

Link to Linux and VLC? I don't like clicking links I'm unsure of.

Correct me if I'm wrong but dubbing and subbing is what happens in something like an animae where there is a voice over done in a different language than the original and subtitles are added. Yes? If so, I may see an animae now and then but it's not an everyday thing.

Hey everyone, As the title might suggest I'm looking for the best media player to play the dvd movies either from my own collection or Red Box. Any Suggestions?

Hopefully my last post answers these. :-)

Right now 1080p but looking at 1440p. As far as I can tell I'm not maxing out and the games the would are limited right now but I thin part of it was I was hoping to future proof a little. A much as I dislike the term.More than anything, whether I upgrade now or later is less important to me. More than anything I'm trying to get a grip on the gpu secondary market. I'm still new to being an "enthusiast" and I've never tried to resell a computer part.

Hi, Was just curious, where would I most likely get the best price for a 4 mo old, as of yet lightly used one of these? http://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Direct-GPU-Contact-Graphics-GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5/dp/B00DWV3NM6/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1404706775&sr=1-1&keywords=asus+gtx+780 And how much of a hit am I likely to take on the deal? For a couple of reasons I'm thinking of upgrading to th 6GB version now that it is out. What affects the price? Would I be better off just holding on to what I have? How big a problem will the VRAM be a year or two down the line?

To be honest other than the posts I occasionally see on this forum I'm not really sure what indicates a heavily modded game. (Still learning the ropes after many years of being oblivious and a console gamer. Same thing I guess.) :-)As for the three examples you gave I have Skyrim on console already, no fallout, and Watch Dogs intrigues me but I think I'll probably wait for a lot of the bugs to be worked out first and it's 1st big sale. In general I've kind of envisioned sli as being my gateway into 1440p. I was hoping that by the time the 780 becomes more affordable so will those monitors, though admittedly three 1080p monitors have their own appeal. In regards to the games, I think I'm just worried that the number of VRAM intensive games will go way up and limit what games I can really take advantage of what I anticipated would be a kick ass machine.

So I bought this3GB gtx 780 a couple months before the 6GB version came out with the idea of going sli a year or two down the line. Did I screw myself?http://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Direct-GPU-Contact-Graphics-GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5/dp/B00DWV3NM6/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1404706775&sr=1-1&keywords=asus+gtx+780

Thank you so much you two!! Not only did you help solve my problem but let me know it won't cost me anything. FTW!!!!

So all I need to do is plug in my xbox 360 controller? I never thought that would work. I just assumed it wouldn't do anything. So I just download the drive and I'm good to go? I also use window 8.1 as my OS if that helps.
