When I went to Vegas with my Dad in May I went to two shooting ranges and shot

Sig Sauer P226

Colt M1911

M4

SCAR-L

M1 Garand

Thompson

Then I went last Friday to a range and shot a Ruger and HK UMP .45

Have to say I loved the SCAR and Sig.

I'm sorry it has been so long but the new article is up!

The third article on graphics cards has been released! Also, for reference there is a link to Tom's Hardware which provides performance charts for graphics cards. Enjoy!

Can't. Stop. Laughing.

Ok so I suggest you do the following:

1) When you go into ventrilo make sure that the input and output device in the setup tab is set to whatever your mic is called.

2) Go into your control panel and then into sound settings and make sure that in the playback and recording tabs that your microphone is set as the device with the green check.

3) Update your computers sound drivers. To do so go into your control panel, then hardware and sound, then device manager and under audio click on each one and click update driver. Then hit search automatically and let it do its thing.

4) Look at your microphone and see if there are any loose parts or wires that are showing. If there is that is a contributing factor.

Finally, if you could tell me what kind of headset you have that would help as well. Hope this helps!

Ok good luck and I hope everything works out!

I am actually thinking maybe we should wait until you get your new case and psu ad if everything works out okay then we can close it. If it doesn't, which I'm hoping won't be the case, then you can just post in here.

My mistake I believe you are correct. If you like that case then go for it.

Yea you will most likely need a different case. That is over an inch which doesn't sound like a lot but when it comes to motherboards it is.

Great! Glad you were able to fix it!

I would recommend at least an 850W Power Supply. The reasoning is that you will most likely need to be upgrading soon. The Radeon is old and 4 GB of RAM is really really low. I am pretty sure that you will have to be upgrading those in the near future. Your hard drive is fine, 1 TB is a lot of space.

Like you said you just want a new case and PSU so I would just say get those and then upgrade as needed. Remember, at least 850W. Also, be very careful to make sure that the case you get will hold the PSU and other components properly.

The only other two things I need to know are how much RAM you have and how much hard drive space you have. Also, do you have any ither computer that you could use or is the one that broke it?

Hey White,

I can definitely help you with this. What I need to know is what 2ndLt. Holland said but also are you building a completely new computer or are you upgrading in some cases but keeping the same parts in others? For example, I know you are looking for a new case and PSU but are you also looking for other parts or are you going to keep the rest the same?

The second article has been released. Also, this series will culminate in a final article debating about Laptops vs. Desktops. Enjoy!

I agree with sky it could be your sound card over heating I know you do have a laptop and laptops do tend to get hot especially when plugged into a charger. Does this problem happen after a while or does is your computer on for a while then this happens?

Also there are a couple of things you can do .

1. Reinstall origin (I'm pretty sure you can reinstall it without having to reinstall all your games)

2. Try updating the drivers for your sound card if no updates are available then reinstall the drivers.

Yea that is another good point. Laptops overheat a lot faster than desktops. Also, I highly recommend doing what Asencio said to do with the drivers. I didn't even think of that Ascencio.

Hi sir,

The only real fix is what you are doing. What is most likely happening is your sound card is being overtaxed. It isn't your CPU because if it were you wouldn't be able to run origins or if you were able to, it would crash often.

One question I do have is how old is your computer? That also may have something to do with it.

Hey Rook, I know you withdrew your enlistment but I would still be more than happy to help you. Have you had the chance to try what Vicari and I suggested?

A friend on facebook posted this. Thought it was worth sharing

Wow. I knew they were crazy but this is taking it to another level. I agree with you though Cannon, Kim Jong whatever needs to be 'removed from office' if you know what I mean .

EDIT: Ok I found something. What I need you to do is still uninstall TS3 but also do this:

Go into your command prompt and type in "tracert steamcommunity.com > C:\output.txt". This will run a trace route and will put the output in a text file on your C drive. When you have done that copy and paste whatever is in that text file into a reply to this post.

Second, can you please tell me what operating system you are running?

The series has now launched! This topic will be a table of contents for the articles. By all means please reply below stating what you think! All criticism is welcome.

Hi Rook,

Before we can help you, please post using this form:

http://www.1stmarineraiders.com/index.php?showtopic=16023

Also, in the future do not post in the Technician Office. Post in the main medical supply office. I have moved it for you.

There is already a topic for this too Quite old though. http://www.1stmarineraiders.com/index.php?...0456&st=240

No wonder I couldn't find a topic for this. And Hobbs you may have rocketed my team but I killed every member on your team at least twice

I went 36-12 with a sniper today, something I usually don't do.

Post a screenshot of your most outrageous score and tell us about it.

This is not the right place to post something like this. It would probably be best to post it in BAR lounge or the slope chute. This topic is closed.
