Hey guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster, thaught it was about time to create an account :P
First off, just wanna say thanks to everyone in the community here, this has helped me with my multiboxing so much, and you guys are awesome. A big /cheer and /salute to Lax, Mirai and Ualaa, plus others :D
Now, Im fairly handy at computers and figuring stuff out myself, but my knowledge is fairly patchy in places. Graphics cards and all related stuff are a weak area :P
That said, I think Im having a problem with overheating when I multibox. Every now and then the screen totally cuts out my TV goes to the blue "No Source" screen. I reduced my graphics setting on all windows, changed the window layout numerous times, disabled windows aero and removed a screen from my setup, among other things. After that, its happening a lot less, but it is still happening (and has since happened when just playing one char at ultra settings as normal). The PC is in a fairly dusty room, so I think this *may* be a cause and plan to get some compressed air to clean it next time I visit the outside world.
My PC: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...=4328896#N1485
My Graphics Card: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/produ...gt-440-uk.html
My question is how likely is it that the dust is the problem? Is there anything else that could be causing this, or I should lookout for?
How much load should the card be able to take, both solo and boxing? How would it fare in MoP?
Is it a good card in general?
Its my birthday soon (24th April) and Im looking at getting more RAM and possibly a new card. I know nothing about this, can anyone suggest an upgrade? What should I be looking out for, and in what price range?
Since I have aero disabled, I cant use VideoFX. How much more load is it to enable aero and videofx?
Is having two screens with all 5 windows sync'd and visable a lot more work than having all the windows stacked on one screen at native resolution?
Again, thanks for everyone who takes the time to help, like I said some things Im great at, some things Im still learning :P
All the best, Paul :D
