    Vista killing itself?

    I did several scans and repair attempts I looked up and it never found any issues. Or if I did a system repair of any kind nothing changed.

    Vista killing itself?

    I've had Vista on my computer for a little while now, I had to switch to it a while back when my motherboard died and XP Pro was tied to the old one. I figured I'd give Vista a try. Anyway, for the last 2-3 months I've been having issues where Vista updates (I assume it updates, I wake up in...

    My Acer Aspire One randomly turns off after a while, any idea?

    Hasn't happened in about a week now. Though it also was oddly not hibernating for the past few days too.

    My Acer Aspire One randomly turns off after a while, any idea?

    Haha, same here. Minus the multiple windows. My FF on the netbook generally has about 10 tabs open.... Little reminders or things to do. And Opera on my main PC can have anything from 7tabs to 50 tabs open haha. I haven't checked the contacts, but they should be. This and both...

    My Acer Aspire One randomly turns off after a while, any idea?

    I got an Acer Aspire One off of woot.com about 2-3 months ago. Often I leave it turned on next to my bed playing video or music when I go to sleep. Then I might forget to turn it off the next morning due to being in a rush. That night I'll go back to the netbook and it will be off. I have it...

    Building a new computer

    Got the stuff from newegg in today, aside from the mobo that I had to get from amazon. The cpu actually comes w/ the stock aluminum one, so it was good afterall that I got the arctic cooling one.

    Building a new computer

    Yeah I was going to cancel it before but it was already charged, couldn't edit the order at that point. Does anyone else have input on this? If it gives the same cooling but is quieter I may just use it and keep the stock one for a rainy day. I knew about the restocking fee and shipping...

    Nah, I can't recall having seen one of their stores before though. Then again I don't pay attention to the stores around the road most of the time... I went ahead and ordered from Newegg by now though :) Just wish I kinda didn't waste money on that heatsink now......

    D'oh. I thought I'd read that even this one wasn't all that special. If it is well that's nice... Just wish I hadn't ordered from Newegg already haha. Guess I'll just send it back for a refund if the stock AMD one w/ this order is good.

    I thought I had read somewhere on here that that one was still nothing special...?

    Building a new computer

    Just realized I hadn't looked into cooling any. I guess I wouldn't need it if I wasn't going to OC.... But in case I do do some OCing I'm going to get this heatsink and fan: RCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler $19.99 after instant $10 saving. I saw this suggested in another...

    Building a new computer

    I think I'm gonna go ahead and do the one that Danny suggested, I was going to go ATI originally then was looking at NVidia because a friend kept telling me to go with EVGA because of the lifetime warranty (he always tells the story about how he or a friend of his had their video card go bad...

    Building a new computer

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I was hoping I wouldn't have to replace the power supply but it seems I will, oh well. I remember when I got that PSU 5 years or so ago everyone had given it great reviews, it's even still accurate now. Guess I'm just lucky (until the mobo died....). The...

    Building a new computer

    Well the computer that I built 4-5 years or so ago is now dead. Well, the mobo died. I figure it seems like a better deal to spend a little more and make a new computer than just replace the old mother board though. Anyway so far the parts I was looking at were: Motherboard ASUS...
