I went with the Core 2 :D seems to be working great, it's not for my pc im on as you said an i5, was for my dads pc, all he wants to do is watch HD movies on the pc, thats it, so i sorted him with a Asus P5n-d with 512mb ATi card and 4 gig ram, and that 2 core cpu :D

Thanks for that mate, much appreciated :)

Wondering what you guys recommend, building my Dad a new pc so yea, wich would u choose out of these 2. e6320 Intel Duo Core Intel® Core?2 Duo Processor E6320 (4M Cache, 1.86 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB) with SPEC Code(s) SLA4U or e5300 Intel® Pentium® Processor E5300 (2M Cache, 2.60 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) with SPEC Code(s) SLB9U, SLGQ6, SLGTL Thx in advance.

Cool i will try to get my hands on a DVI monitor, sum1 i know close must have one lol. If i just had a spare bloody HDTV lmao, god damn computers ^.^

Hi buddy, cheers for the reply, My monitor under screen res - advanced shows at 60hz Gfx card under the Nvidia control panel is showing at 60hz Neither can be changed, just the 1 setting showing for the monitor and the graphics version settings. I've tried the auto adjustment with VGA to VGA and it just did the same as the VGA to DVI with adapter, so that seems to be ok. I would go DVI to DVI, but unfortunatly the monitor only has a VGA block on it with a VGA cable input and output, but i use a DVI converter that came with Gfx card to connect 2 the pc, doesnt really seem any better than VGA, i've just always used it.

From researching it, it looks like you can use DVI to HDMI, but not VGA to HDMI, due to the types of signals, only way to do that is spend like 150+ quid to buy some stupid box that does it all for you, when you could put that towards an HDTV¬monitor. THis here be an issue, as i aint got the cash lying about to blast on a HDTV for the pc, if you guys have any more info or help its much appreciated :)

exactly that m8 1440 x 900 at all times, ingame and out of game, the monitor actually forces 1440 x 900 if the game doesnt support it. Do u have any idea if you could take a VGA to HDMI cable for the monitor and have it work that way? Like the following cable?

ok i have some news, it took the pc downstairs and plugged in the hitachi HD tv. I used the HDMI cable, in 1080p. No problems, no weird lines at-all. Now there is nothing wrong with my actual monitor, its fairly new worked perfect with the old graphics card etc, do you guys think its possible tho that the graphics card is maybe too powerfull for the monitor, or could it have something to do with the VGA cable? for example, i take the vga cable and convert it to DVI and use DVI, or i can use just VGA if i wish, my thoughts are possibly, this cable does not hold enough bandwith to transmit the frequency's for gaming possibly threw a VGA cable? Thats my thought, interested to hear you guys response, as im puzzled by what to do in regards as next steps.

yea i believe its 200, as i get mine from BnQ

Sorry Jelly :( tried that aswell lol! as i was making sure the temp's wer definatly cool theres no obstructions or fans not spinning properly at all, looking at it right now as we speak, all fans have open area around them, as the cable tidy things are keeping everything away from em :)

I did have a USB extension PCI card, but i removed that upon putting the new PSU in as i never used it, have 4 usb's at front and 4 at the back, I have only onboard 5.1 HD sound wich is onboard the motherboard, other than that USB Pci card i had wich is no longer in there, theres nothing. :(

Ok back lol! No luck with changing cables, or changing DVI adapters, tried both cables VGA to VGA, and VGA to DVI + adapter, i believe we have our selfs a predicament. Thanks once again for all your input :)

I've also moved the card to PCI-E 2.0 slot 2, and still the same, Im now testing another VGA cable, after that im going to once again try another 2 DVI adapters.

Ok just reset it etc, launched a game, and the same issue, this is beyond confusing lol.

hey guys, thanks for the help once again. I've just finished memtest, all tests are in the clear, everything was fine there. I've just tidied all the cables up with pc cable tidiers, had them on my old psu also so no cables are touching anything just themselfs so to speak, the new psu cables also come with some material black coating thats ment to stop any interferance, as far as the fans, they seem to be running at the same speed, checked that with speedfan just a minute ago, also monitored it when ingame ofc. Alongwith..windows diagnostic came back with no errors. Only problem reports i had was with a few applications and whatnot not working, nothing Nvidia or Display orientated. Pc's DPI is set to - Scale to this percentage of normal size 100% ( default ) 9 point Segoe UI at 96 Pixels per inch ( default ) Use windows xp style DPI scaling is checked,( default ) About 2 revert back to default BIOS settings, will let you know of that result.
