I don't think it's a GPU power issue. I can game on both monitors, but even when I'm streaming a video on just the SA950, and my PA248 is not connected, it still glitches the stream. My monitors are both connected by DVI.

OS : Windows 8.1 CPU: i5 2500k Mobo: p8p67 M-Pro PSU: Corsair Hx650w GPU: ASUS 560ti DirectCU II Storage: 1tb WD Green + 240GB Corsair Neutron GTX RAM: 2x4GB 1600mhz Ripjaws X Monitors: ASUS PA248 + Samsung SA950 My Samsung SA950 monitor, when connected, causes all of my video streams to turn glitchy. Attached images are Before and After connecting. What I've been doing as a workaround is just setting my display output to only my PA248 when I want to watch videos. Then returning to Extend Displays when I'm not streaming video. This doesnt happen to any video games or programs either, just streamed videos. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try to fix this?

Thanks for all the information and suggestions. I'll probably get the A5+ and some other things.

I've been looking around a few different sites trying to get the most bang for my buck, Linus recommends SP2500's, but lots of members here don't (they seem too consumer friendly to me). People talk lots about passive and active speakers, studio monitor speakers and bookshelf speakers, sound card versus no sound card in a speaker setup, whether the speakers already have an amp or not. It's all too bothersome for me. What i want is a 2.1 setup, i want to be able to really feel the bass when I'm listening to EDM or dubstep etc. I have a nice pair of headphones (Koss TBSE1) aswell. This is what i think i should be buying. Studio monitors + sub + amp + sound card (just to improve my headphone experience; but not needed for speaker setup right? It will only act as a DAC if i have an external amp?) I'm not too certain on anything, what does the forum recommend? Budget: $600-$700~ AUD Cheers! EDIT: Oo00oohh, newer version of amp apparently: 2013

Yeah yeah guys i know about all this. I needed it now. Please no more posts like the 2 above, they aren't helpful at all. Now back on topic, how can i take it apart? There are hex-screw kinda things on the bottom side. I have the tools but I want some advice before I crack it open.

Dear forum! I have recently acquired a new Acer Aspire S7 391. However, i am extremely disappointed to see that my trackpad is LOOSE. As in when I -very- lightly tap on the bottom of the trackpad, it MOVES PHYSICALLY and is disgusting and not right. I found this video online which seems to be my exact problem, though it isnt exactly well shown. :S NOTICE: When the person in the video below presses HARD and when he just lightly presses it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv_pGsnZU64&feature=youtu.be The trackpad is >LOOSE<. I was also looking around on THIS POST and some guy has taken his apart and taped it up? What do i do! I would rather take it apart myself to save time. But i dont know how and cant find any videos of others taking it apart. Thanks so much for your help!

Well that was easy. Thanks. ^_^ Still waiting on my O-rings from maxkeyboard.com, its been 11 days. (California -> QLD, Australia)

Very simple question I'd say. So i am currently in possession of a Ducky Shine 2 White LED Cherry Brown keyboard. Black keycaps where the LED shines through. I want White keycaps, and I can find heaps of white ones on the interwebs, but how do i know they wont block out the LED? Do these block the LED out? http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23004 Cheers!

Did you notice how much gel Linus put into his hand. xD Oh and the almost grab the sandals part. hahaha

O_o When i try to edit the title... its grayed out.

holy f*cking yesssss, im back into Windows! When specifying a place to copy the boot files to it fixedd iittt. So relieved. THANK YOU Azeotrope!

Just be wary that Linus chooses this mouse because it suits his style, what he likes in a mouse. And as everyone here knows, Linus is NOT a gamer. :P

Bump ^_^ If i cant fix this im gonna say, 'Screw it!', copy all my files and reinstall... but this is seriously inconvenient.

Yeah same "Reboot and select proper boot device" problem. Sorry for taking so long to reply here, ive fallen ill. Your right about my SSD not being flagged as 'Boot', why on earth is that? Ive entered all the bootrec commands, when i 'bootrec /scanos' it detects one windows installation. when i 'bootrec /rebuildbcd' it detecs the OS and asks if i want to set it as boot, but when i select Yes 'y', it says it cannot detect the drive. It does the same thing when i select 'All'. Heeellpppp :C

I got the gdisk command and yes, dicovered that the Volume 3 100MB partition is infact the EFI partition. So i started going through the steps, learning along the way kind of a little about what on earth im doing. And anyway, i get to the end and 'fingers crossed; reboot'. When i chose the SSD to boot into, it came up with the Windows 8 bluescreen and some kind of error to do with the things ive edited and messed around with (the BCD blahblah) and i couldnt get a picture in time, and i havent been able to replicate the blue screen. I started reading throught the comments on http://superuser.com/questions/460762/how-can-i-repair-the-windows-8-efi-bootloader and trying to wing it, nothing bad happened but no solution came. Any ideas?

... Yeah i wanna take this slow. Is the one with FS fat32 the one i want to select? Thats the EFI partition right?

After putting in 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sda' it came up with 'Warning!! Unsupported GPT detected. Use GNU Parted." Since i got the GPT warning, i tried the next command, 'sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda'. It responded with 'sudo: gdisk: command not found'

Alright, i can access the files on my SSD now! Yay. :) Thanks azeotrope! Im slowly getting better at this Ubuntu stuff. Next up... how do we solve the "Reboot and select proper boot device" problem. :P

When i try the command without the '-3g' part it says 'mount: only root can do that'

azeotrope, here is the information you asked for.

Okay, before i continue, the reason for me going into this Ubuntu thing was so i could try and access my SSD to get an assignment draft that needed to be handed in, i realised it was going to be faster for me to just recreate everything that was on the document i needed so i did just that. Now i dont so much really need to just get a file from the SSD, im looking for a solution to my original error, not being able to boot into windows (read up to my previous posts) Even so, ill explain what ive done so far and WHY i couldnt get into the drive straight away. So... the ACL 999 something or other error is caused by trying to mount the HDD to a directory that doesnt exist, so i created it with 'sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu'. This created the directory it needed to mount the SSD. However, i still didnt have access to the SSD because it is the storage device that has Windows 8 Pro loaded onto it. Windows 8 has a feature that leaves the storage in a 'hibernation' kind of state when you shut down, this makes boot times into Windows 8 faster, but as in my case, stops me from accessing the drive via Ubuntu. There is a comand you can enter to delete the file that stores the information kept while hibernating. The command is, mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda4 /media/ubuntu/Neutron (Neutron is my SSD's name) When i tried to enter this command into the terminal it said the '3' part of the command was invalid. I tried with different numbers but nothing worked, and thats where i am now. As i stated above, im not so much looking to just gain access to my files, but looking for a fix to the original problem. Sorry for the banter, and thank you everyone for your time!

Booted into "ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso" loadd onto a USB. Hoping to gain access to my SSD but this came up when trying to access it. http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a599/Jesse_Stanger/IMG_1229_zps83aac48d.jpg (Note: I didnt install Ubuntu, i set it to run solely and purely off the USB.)

Well you know, i kind of already said that ive done that. :P Been through the boot order, tried override booting into the SSD, system repair via the Windows 8 Pro disc did nothing, cant detect system restore points as 'the operating system isnt specified' or something similar to that, and it asks to reboot and 'select' the operating system somehow. I dont understand what its trying to get me to do when i go down that route.
