  4. Losing connection after installing graphics card

    Hmmm interesting point with the power supply, because the graphics card requires 2 power plug ins. Never thought of that, Ouch :sad: only 330w. Probably my problem, time to go to frys and get a 600+ supply. Weird that I have never had a problem with this power supply, and I've run COD 1,2,4,5 - Starcraft 2 - and Warcraft with no problems.

    Oh and no i didn't unplug anything, good suggestion though

  5. Losing connection after installing graphics card

    Okay so I upgraded my monitor and graphics card today. Put in a nvidia geforce gts450 and 23" acer monitor. I uninstalled the old graphics drivers (nvidia geforce 8400gt) and installed the new drivers for the 450. Turned up the graphics in Black Ops to 1920x1080, now after I load a server it immediately pulls of the message "Lost connection to host" with any server I go into. What is causing this? I know I didn't uninstall any network programs. Also, I still cannot connect to the servers if i turn down the graphics.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  7. What are you all doing for new years?

    That really sucks. I'm texting people atleast

    My advice for you is to get out and join clubs or group. SMD is a group of Car Audio Enthusiasts, and you "have more fun talking to us." Maybe you could find a group near home and make friends with some of the members.

    Also, you can adopt a dog. Yes, they can be a lot of work, but they GREATLY reduce stress. They always want to be near you and 'look up to you' for protection and love. After owning a dog, idk how I ever went without one.

    I'm all pro for the dog idea, but personally I prefer watching t.v with my fat-ass cat laying on his back in next to me; very relaxing and fun to give him "belles" (said, bellies)

  9. 1981 Camaro won't start

    A couple days ago my dash battery light turned on and now it won't start. Starter is clicking and acting like a dead battery. I put in a new battery and it ran fine for a day (dash light still on). Died over night, I can't find a parasitic drain anywhere, I replaced the alternator and it started up. As I was driving that same day of replacing the alt my audio system clipped. I found one of my amp power wires melted to the headers and grounding out, so I for sure thought that this was the source of drain. However I was wrong, so I replaced my battery cables and cleaned the solenoid. Still acting like the battery is dead and sometimes the starter clicks and sometimes it doesn't. It will start right up if I jump it though. I cannot find any source of a short either.

    Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Alex

  11. 1981 Camaro

    Hey guys, I have an 81' Camaro with a 5.7 350 in it right now. I am wanting to eventually drop a supercharged 383 stroker in. I'm pretty sure I have a turbo 350 tranny in(Just bought it) and I know there is a shift kit. The tranny is a brand new rebuild with about 100 miles. Would I need a new tranny and rear end? Also, would all my accessories from the 5.7 350 transfer to the 383, or would I need to do all that over? Thanks alot

    Damn that puts Prius' emissons to shame lol. Unless I'm reading that wrong (we don't have emissions laws in KS) that is the least polluting V8 ever...or a faulty sniffer. But at least ya passed :good:

    The sniffer was good, same sniffer failed me 2 days earlier by about 70 haha

    I pulled off this feat by welding 2 cats on, and pouring "Guranteed to pass emissions test" fluid in my gas tank, then driving up and down the toll road 4 times at 80mph to get everything hot and cleaned
