  • GPU driver causes problems but card works fine without driver?

    I have a Powercolor Radeon HD 7770 and recently it's been a pain in the ****. With the driver installed, the display randomly glitches out (sometimes BSOD) and I have to hard-reset my PC.

    After I uninstalled all of my drivers (with a third party program), the card hasn't failed, and it's been a few weeks now. The problem is that I can't play any games or use GPU acceleration in Photoshop without the GPU drivers installed.

    Also, I've tried installing many different versions of the 7770 drivers, to no avail. So what's the problem? If it was a hardware issue, the card probably wouldn't work at all, right? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Weird windows explorer glitch?

    For some reason, the "Libraries" folder in Windows Explorer changed to

    "䁀C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,-50691"

    It's not a virus or anything (I've done multiple scans with different software). I recently did the "restore your computer to a previous state" thing, so maybe that has something to do with it? Has anyone experienced this? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Any PC games that are fun to just load up and play for a few mins?

    Hi, I'm looking for a PC game that I can just pop in and mess around with for a half hour or so. I'm talking about games like Skate (PS3) or the GTA series, where you can choose to completely ignore the story and just explore the environment. I don't have much time for gaming, so I love games like these. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Any PC games similar to the Legend of Zelda?

    What I loved most about all the LoZ games I played was the exploration. I'd see a chest or a blue rupee in a place that I couldn't get to and I'd just have to skip it. Then, later on in the game, I would get the hookshot, bomb, or whatever else and I could go back to get those rewards that I missed. It was one of the few games I've played where backtracking was actually fun.

    So are there any other PC games with that kind of exploration element?

  • I don't know what do do with my future?

    I'm going to be a senior in high school next year and I'm starting to feel really nervous about my college/career choice. I have good grades and everything, but I don't know what I want to spend the rest of my life doing. For a while, I thought that I wanted to study and work with computer science, but after taking a comp sci class, I realized I didn't want to spend my life in a chair looking at a computer screen. I want a job in a field that pays well because most of my tuition will be from student loans or scholarships, but I also want a job that doesn't require constant sitting ex. a job in the outdoors (if possible).

    Any ideas for future careers?

  • Slow internet on only one of my laptops?

    So I have a 3 pcs, one desktop and two laptops, which are both connected by wifi to my home network. But I have noticed that, recently, the internet on one of my laptops seems to be much, much slower than my other one, which is much older. In a side by side comparison, the older laptop destroyed the newer one when it came to loading web pages. Why is this happening?

  • Need help with Java program?

    So i'm in an intro to java class and i'm making a Fahrenheit to Celsius converter, just for practice. I got it to work inside bluej, but when I try to run the jar file, nothing happens, but the program says that there are no syntax errors! here is my code:

    import java.util.*;

    public class main

    {

    private int farenheit;

    main ()

    {

    farenheit = 70;

    }

    main ( int f )

    {

    farenheit = f;

    }

    public void setFarenheit (int differentFarenheit)

    {

    farenheit = differentFarenheit;

    }

    public void askUserForFarenheit ()

    {

    Scanner keyIn;

    keyIn = new Scanner (System.in);

    System.out.print ("Enter the temperature in Farenheit: ");

    String input = keyIn.nextLine ();

    int nFarenheit = Integer.parseInt (input) ;

    setFarenheit (nFarenheit);

    printCelcius ();

    }

    public void printCelcius ()

    {

    int f = farenheit;

    double a = (f-32)*5;

    double b = a/9;

    String weather;

    if(b > 32 )

    {

    weather = "It's quite hot, be sure to use sunscreen!";

    }

    else if (b < 22)

    {

    weather = "It's a little chilly, wear a sweater!";

    }

    else

    {

    weather = "It's nice and cool.";

    }

    System.out.println ("The temperature in celcius is " + b + " degrees.");

    System.out.println ("Forecast: " + weather);

    }

    }
