    Motherboard help.

    I had a QX6700 processor die. It was OEM so no warranty.:( Too much heat, I think. I got a new Q6600. I installed it into my EVGA quad core optimized motherboard. I called tech support. He told me I need a bios update. Hard to do with no video on my 8800GTX. They also said to run an older CPU...

    Dead pixels on a new monitor

    I would take it back. I hate dead pixels. I sent a laptop back because of that. Too much money to spend for defects like that. It is not normal. I have 2 lcds, and have since bought 5 laptops. All with no dead pixels.

    Dead system

    I narrowed it down to the power supply. I got it running briefly this evening. It then shut off and did the same thing as before. I will get a new one tomorrow.

    CompUSA to Close Over Half Their Stores

    I hate them. Good riddance. They ripped me off a long time ago. I did buy again because they were close. I hated doing it though.

    WTB: Dell 3007WFP 30" LCD widescreen

    I got a new one for $1200 plus tax and shipping. It had a dead pixel. I cant deal with that. I got a replacement and sent the other one back. It will end up in the outlet. Pay a bit more and return it for another one, if it has a dead pixel. This is too much money to spend to end up with that.
