Well, it's kind of a moot point now. My main HD won't even boot up now, saying "hard disc read error" upon startup. It's a given now that at least a reformat is required, but I'll probably get a new HD anyways. My only concern is that while I wouldn't mind losing most of the data on the drive...

I ran into a few issues earlier tonight, which involved a few crashes and a few restarts with Scan Disc running at startup. At one point it was able to successfully clear away a few bad indexes on my Windows HD, but in the process somehow my computer has "lost" its onboard audio. It no longer...

I plugged in a couple pairs of good headphones into the green jack in the back, and heard exactly the same crackling sounds. That's how I determined it was the soundcard causing the issues and not my speakers. Either way, it's no excuse why I shouldn't be able to get the onboard to work on a...

It probably is a driver issue, but I can't seem to pinpoint what exactly. I've uninstalled all the applications and drivers for my Audigy 2, as well as run driver cleaner pro on "Creative Audio" and "Creative Audio Lite". The weird thing to me (since I've never used Driver Cleaner Pro before...

I've decided to switch to the onboard sound on my A8N-E motherboard because something weird was going on with my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS (sound was "crackling").

I'm thoroughly confused onto how I am supposed to configure the front audio ports for my COOLER MASTER Praetorian PAC-T01-E1. There are 3 connectors for the Mic, and 5 for the audio. Mic In, Mic Power, Ground...and Line-Out-R, BLine-Out-R, Line-Out-L, BLine-Out-L, and Ground. But the connector...

How is it possible to have a "Free Games" thread without Cave Story? Cave Story is arguably the greatest free game of all time; a platformer/adventure game that easily stands up to the likes of Mario, Metroid, or Castlevania titles of the NES and SNES days. Awesome story and music too.

Newegg must be trying to clear their stock, because now it's down to $474. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130279 If only I had waited 5 minutes...oh well.

The price of the 7900GTX 512 MB on Newegg has just dropped to $499! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130279
