Having Hardware/Software problems? READ ME FIRST!

[Colin]

Are you about to post about a hardware/software problem you're having?

Please include your entire system specifications (be specific, we need model numbers, etc) when posting including operating system!

90% of the time problems are software related, the first thing to do is make sure you have up to date drivers. Below are a list of the most popular manufacturers and their drivers...

VIA
SiS
Intel
AMD
nVIDIA
ATi

Some other useful software for identifying hardware or trouble shooting is...

SiSoft Sandra
CPU-Z
3DMark2001SE

If you could check your drivers first and have the other software ready, that will help us help you trouble shoot your computer!

Thanks.

Colin
