    Customer support?

    Generally speaking, which manufacturers have you found to provide better support for their products, both in terms of providing general assistance and with RMAs? - primarily regarding motherboards, gfx cards, and RAM? I have heard EVGA tends to be on the better side, and ASUS to be worse...

    questions about UPS?

    A UPS is always a good idea, but its not gonna solve your breaker tripping problems. I would look into that first. Does the circuit trip only when the computer is under high load? Have you tried turning everything else on the circuit off? A 15 amp circuit breaker should be able to handle a...

    which device failed?? power supply? mb?

    Glad to help. :) I didn't know a bad GPU could cause that either! I'll probably be going with EVGA this time around too - how did they treat you when you called?

    which device failed?? power supply? mb?

    Had a similar problem last week. CPU fan would hiccup at start-up, then was totally dead. Thought it was the PSU, but it tested ok. I disconnected all PCI-E and USB devices and left one stick of RAM in the motherboard. When it fired up, I put the GPU back in and it was dead again. Tried an...

    Can I convert an IDE to SATA drive?

    I tried a SATA drive with the IDE adapter in an older machine and ran it as a boot drive and it worked ok for a few weeks, but I experienced random freeze-ups (tried 2 different adapters) so I ditched it and went to an IDE drive and all my problems went away.

    What is svchost.exe?

    Try this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx It's a handy program called Process Explorer which will tell you what services are running behind the generic "svchost.exe".

    recommend a good partition manager? (freeware)

    Well, I searched and finally found my old copy of PM8. Worked like a charm. I guess sometimes you get what you pay for! Thank you all for the suggestions. And I agree with you comments regarding Symantec's software acquisitions - ever since they bought out Peter Norton's Utilities...

    recommend a good partition manager? (freeware)

    Well, EASUS screwed up my OS and I had to reformat. Would not even boot. Do you guys run more than 1 process at time, or do you have to run them separately for good results? All I'm trying to do is reduce D and increase C. Shouldn't be thar difficult!

    recommend a good partition manager? (freeware)

    Yeah, I know... I have an old version of Partion Magic somewhere and unfortunatly can't find it at the moment! Right now I'm leaning toward the EASUS program.

    USB server recommendation?

    Can anyone recommend a USB server that will allow multiple pc's (2 for now) to access multiple USB devices (minimum of 4 ports would be nice) which is fully automated - ie. you don't have to connect and disconnect your pc from the attached device before it can be shared by another system? I...

    light beeping noise when moving mouse

    I had this problem last year. Very high pitched buzzing noise when moving the mouse or resizing windows - seemed louder depending on the load. Swapped out the PSU and no more noise!

    Razer Deathadder Problem?

    I had a different problem with my DA on 2 different XP machines. The cursor would start to creep across the screen on its own (using updated drivers & firmware). After talking to Razer tech support, they told me sometimes they do that and I should exchange it. Needless to say I bought a mouse...

    Warm: Razer DeathAdder $39.99 @ Best Buy

    I picked up this mouse at BB this week and it has a nice feel to it - It works great on one of my computers, but refuses to work properly on my work computer (Dell Dimension 8200). Even with the latest driver (non-beta), the pointer seems to have a mind of its own! :confused:
