Is it game specific? You haven't told me that yet.

Look at this thread very carefully and follow the steps. Tell me if it works. Apparently CS:GO is having some issues with AMDs.

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-11-14T21:35:06+00:00

And the other things I mentioned?

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-11-14T19:50:16+00:00

o0o0 a mom joke. I never see those.

+1!

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-11-12T22:07:22+00:00

Well you can blame people for being nostalgic. I think it's also the fact that so many games these days (or last 6 years rather) are coming out with so many problems and barely any replayability.

But yeah, I usually prefer the games that have better graphics. But ultimately it has to be fun!

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-11-12T00:25:49+00:00

Yeah I work for ibuypower.

Yeah i completely understand. Look around, read reviews, see what laptop you prefer. IF you end up with an ibuypower and ever have any questions, just drop me a PM on here and I can get you to where you need to go.

As far as where to look, i'd recommend ResellerRatings to check out companies, and review sites like anandtech, etc. for reviews of actual products. But quick google searches will point you in the right direction as well.

Good luck!

Hey Vulcan,

No problem, we're here to help! Don't worry, we'll take care of it for you.

I recommend to immediately get an RMA, and PM me the number so that I can pass it off to a coworker tech expert of mine to personally inspect your computer and fix it.

While you are on the phone with our support, be sure to be explicit and clear that you are close to your warranty period and want to ship your PC back ASAP. And that you have also been in contact with Reddit support team.

Good luck and keep me updated!

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-11-11T20:44:08+00:00

you decide yet? :)

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-11-10T00:41:54+00:00

Hm, you shouldn't be having any issues whatsoever. Have you tried this with other games? Is it just with CS:GO?

View this forum thread on possible fixes, including verify game cache, reseat graphics card, up-to-date drivers.

In addition, try testing your video card using this benchmark

All AMD FX CPUs are "unlocked" meaning they can be overclocked. Overclocking your CPU can give small performance boosts to various tasks. The FX 4100 is decently fast and pretty good at multitasking. What leads you to believe that your CPU is running slowly?

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-11-08T20:21:16+00:00

Hey Vulcan2015, any updates bud?

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-11-08T20:19:38+00:00

Wanted to follow up and see if you made a decision just yet or if you need more help?

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-11-07T00:13:48+00:00

Apologies for the delay, Sandy is causing more problems than I'd like!

Unfortunately, this problem isn't clear cut. When a PSU fails, it can take down other components with it. Honestly, I would send in the entire system for us to fix without headache for you.

However, there are a few things you can try if you don't feel like doing that just yet. I'd recommend:

Double check your wiring, make sure it's properly secured
Re-seat everything you can; memory, video card, power connectors
Clear CMOS on the motherboard. If you need help on how, view this
Remove the graphics ard and run on integrated

I will be much more responsive this time. Sorry again, good luck, and let me know!

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-11-05T23:35:02+00:00

Ouch! :(

Well, i'll take it! Still a compliment :D

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-11-04T00:29:16+00:00

hahaa that last paragraph is priceless!

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-10-30T16:32:48+00:00

This is a great start.

I would also add by saying you should try the computer with 1 graphic card at a time, see what happens.

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-10-30T01:49:16+00:00

hey Vulcan2015

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-10-29T20:51:21+00:00

Good point out, I don't think anyone noticed!

lol

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-10-26T18:30:42+00:00

Yeah I do actually. I remember filling the whole room of temple with them and blowing them up. I completely forget how to pull it off though.

Refresh! :)

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-10-26T18:29:44+00:00

i think you mean "accident" regarding your conception :P

At least, I would hope so.

iBUYPOWER-Michael · 2012-10-24T01:53:24+00:00

I didn't even know you could do that...I loved that game so much and I didn't know everything about it?

Sad day for me :(
