It's much better now. I had lost my love here when I started to see much cooler sites and here, gamespot was still the same old. Was waiting for this change. Now I think I will join back in the crew. I don't think most people will lose their cool at this new look. Its much cleaner and simpler. I love it. Still, GS could've added a lot more new features to better the social interactions.

Hi to all,

I'm having a small problem. Recently, I purchased a new RAM, a 2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM (Forgot the manufacturer). I tried installing the RAM on my PC. So, I removed the case and put in the RAM and made sure it was tight. Then I tried turning the PC on. The system is already having a 2GB DDR2 RAM. But the problem is that the PC just wouldn't turn ON. I again removed the new RAM and installed it again and tightened it. Again tried turning it ON but nothing appears on the screen. There's power and all the things are turning on (except keyboard). My internal speakers are not working so I can't hear the beep sound too. But the fans are working and all the devices are turning on. I tried connecting the monitor cables and other cables outside the cabinet tightly but still, nothing would appear on the screen. I thought the RAM was faulty and I removed the new one and put back the case and turned it on. But even after removing the new RAM, the condition is the same. The PC wouldn't display anything on the monitor. I'm quite confused here. I don't know what exactly is the problem.

I need to know what may have caused the PC not to start and I need to know some ways to fix this. Please reply ASAP.

Hi guys,

I bought a Seagate 500GB External HDD 2 months ago. Everything was working well till yesterday. Today morning, when I turned on the PC, the games and the programmes' icons which were inside the HDD were changed to unknown icons. I never understood the problem. I also have MS Office 2010 Pro inside the HDD. After a thorough research, I found out that the drive letters on the partitions that I created for the External HDD were changed. At first it was G,I,J,K and it changed to I,J,K,M. I then changed the drive letters to the old ones and restarted the PC. Now, the icons are all back but the MS Office was giving out a problem and couldn't open it afterwards. I tried uninstalling but a message came "This program is already uninstalled......" but before I could do anything, the PC just restarted automatically. I tried several times but failed. I'm really worried now. I need the solution to the following problems:

1. What might have caused the re-naming of the HDD? I never unpligged it from my PC nor plugged it in any other ones. Will I be having this problem again? Is there any solution?

2. I tried re-installing MS Office 2010 from the CD and it installed and its all going well now. I didn't try to uninstall it. Will other games and Apps also show the same problem?

Please friends, post what you know and the solution to solve this. Is the HDD damaged?

Contact MS GFWL support after visiting their website to see if your region is supported. XBL I believe supports more regions but its different post here for help GS streaming and online services

Thanks for the help. I'll try. I wonder why there isn't India's name on the list. Is there any other way for redeeming the code? When I posted the same on XBL forums, the other members told that you wouldn't get the billing info page when redeeming a code. My parent also has an account and he tried to do it from there too but still, the same appears. Anyways, I think contacting the support is the best thing to do. My dad's account also tried to migrate but still, there was no India on the list!

[QUOTE="V4LENT1NE"][QUOTE="sangeethmanayil"][QUOTE="neo_87"] Thats neat. Didn't know about that , thanx for the info.

Well, I'll try downloading dxstory. I really wish to buy a new CPU but the problem is, its just been 1 week since I bought the GTX 560 Ti. :P And if I'm getting one, do I really need to get a quad core or better? And you haven't answered me to which one I need to go for, AMD or Intel? And about the MB too!

You have an Intel Processor now so that means you have an Intel socket, therefore you cant go AMD unless you change the Mobo to.

Yes. I thought of that before. But AMD is cheaper than Intel and buying a MB and an AMD processor will be about 10k INR for me. Well, I need to know which one's the best both in value for money and its build.

Hi GameSpotters, :)

I recently created a new XBL Account gor GFWL. So, while creating, I gave the country to USA though I'm staying in India. There wasn't any India on the list. I had also gotten a 1600MS points card. So, I need to redeem the code in it. While I'm trying to do that, it just asks me to enter the billing information. But the country is given as USA and I can't change it. So, I need answers on the below questions:

  1. Can I change my XBL Region to India? Its says an error like ".....cannot migrate non-adults, currently".
  2. If I can't, then is there any way to insert the points to my account?
  3. If not, what would I do with the points?

download dxstory and cap the framerate at 30fps. It will feel smoother since the streaming engine can cause severe framerate fluctuation.

[QUOTE="sangeethmanayil"]

Thanks guys for your comments! I accidently patched the game to 1.0.7.0. The Visual IV mod doesn't support the patch when I checked for it. I'm trying with ENB and its a bit more perfect and a slight smooth too. Well, Currently, I can't afford to buy a Quad Core since I already bought the GPU a little while ago. And I'm looking on to AMD for the processor and if I'm switching to AMD, I doubt that I need to change my MB too. Well, AMD is slightly cheaper than Intel especially for tri cores and quad cores. What will you guys say? Do I need to get an AMD + A new MB or get a new Intel CPU?

mhofever

I'm actually using Visual IV with 1.0.7.0, it will support it, don't worry.

Search for Visual IV 1.7.1

@mhofeverm Thanks a lot. I got it! :D
