What OS are you running? If you are running Windows 7, I would highly recommend setting hl2.exe to initiate compatibility mode (disable aero) as it causes all kinds of weird problems like this.

Having said that, I've seen funky things happen like this from time to time when using multiple monitors that have different refresh rates. Is there a reason why you are converting your TV from HDMI to DVI? It is possible that using an HDMI cable instead would eliminate this issue.

I've also seen instances where this problem gets resolved by making a change in the display drivers to enable GPU scaling instead of display scaling. I think on an ATI, it's under 'my digital flat panels / properties (digital flat-panel)'.

The fact that your issue is occurring intermittently opens up another possibility. Your card may be negotiating clock speeds. If you have anything else open that could potentially use GPU acceleration (like aero or anything with flash), it may be periodically setting your video card to idle clock speeds, which will certainly kill performance until the clocks are set back.

Lastly, drivers! Keep a copy of your current version, then update!

image looks fine to me, whats the problem???

I think Waldo nailed it. Depending on your version, I believe you can usually right-click the MBAM tray icon and untick 'website blocking'.

Sometimes website blocking is nice though. Especially if you work around hundreds of people who browse random crap all day.

Honestly, if you're asking this question, then you're probably not an audiophile and your headphones are probably not insane quality. You're probably using either onboard sound or something like a Creative sound card.

If this sounds like it matches your scenario, you will not hear any degradation in sound even if you use an extension from wal-mart.

Something like this would work perfectly.

Alan Wake was really a terrific, fresh approach at telling a truly amazing story. I can hardly wait for a true sequel since American Nightmare was mediocre. Kurt don't know nothin' bout good games.

FOV was definitely capped recently. Eyefinity in TF2 is a joke now. Everything is zoomed in to the point that you're basically looking through the sniper scope at all times. It's fun to play heavy though.

If you haven't done it yet, you should definitely contact Newegg customer support since that's where you bought the extended warranty. They most likely have one or more original G400 mice in stock to replace yours with anyway.

People always talk about double refresh +1 for FPS. There is no benefit to it unless you are particularly susceptible to screen tearing.

Can't go wrong with DP. If your monitor and GPU both support it, you can pick up a cable for around $10 on Amazon and it should solve your issues(other than gpu performance).

I know you've resolved your issues, but...

Restarting your computer does not flush DNS.

When you try to flush the DNS, Windows needs to use its DNS client service. If you have that disabled, you will get the "function failed during execution" error listed above. If you used a registry cleaner, you likely destroyed critical entries which caused the service to fail to operate even if it was started.

Unplugging your modem for 10 seconds will likely have no effect on anything--most cable providers have timeouts of 2-5 minutes, meaning you'd need to unplug your modem for that long in order to fully troubleshoot any issues or to pair your modem with a new MAC address (if you were trying to troubleshoot a router by plugging directly into the modem, etc).

And finally... Registry cleaners. Registry cleaners can definitely speed up a computer, but the speed difference is minimal on even somewhat-modern hardware. Registry cleaners are far more effective when used properly--to eliminate errors (typically from corrupted/poorly uninstalled software). If you do not have errors occurring, you should probably not touch a registry cleaner. Most registry cleaners offer some type of disclaimer because they are unintelligent pieces of software that look for empty keys and/or use other flags to determine what to delete. The problem with this is that there are many thousands of keys that are intended to be empty. There are some registry cleaners that intelligently ignore hazardous registry locations, but in general, they are more destructive than productive.

He paid me $29 in 2012, leaving the amount he owes me at around $2330. I'll never see it, but at least he's stopped trying to screw other people over in the community.

This is in no way what I'd call ideal.

I get that this guy is just stirring the poo, but this is seriously a dumb idea. Several people have already explained why it's a bad idea. I would venture to say that removing the 10 minute limit altogether and eliminating any possibility of a reset is a better idea than lowering the timer.

There is absolutely no reason why the defending team should get an "advantage". It is quite difficult to push out of last on some maps due to attacking spawn timers and such, but those issues could be fixed by altering spawn times rather than screwing with a timer that would effectively give the team who lost 2 control points the ability to reset by turtling. No team should ever get a reset.

No MX switches feel like Topre. Topre feels closer to a membrane than any MX switches. It's like a membrane without the mushiness... 100% repeatable with no horrid clacking if you bottom out.

Some people hate Topre because it feels similar to a membrane. Others are enlightened. >:)
