I just recently completed a new build and noticed a small problem: my USB 3 ports don't work during boot-up. Specifically, when I plug my keyboard into a USB 3 port, the keyboard doesn't work. However, once I boot into the OS (Windows 7 Ultimate), the USB 3 ports work fine. Also, the USB 2...

I think I have the same issue as you. On my parent's PC, when Firefox is closed, it'll often crash and the error-report window will pop up. However, the PC has Windows XP, not Windows 7.

Thanks for the advice Danny; I appreciate it. I'll probably be getting it this month or in the summer (in which case I'd have to wait and look for a setup later on). I was wondering if the Xeon was worth the extra $40. I do some rendering, but I don't know if it would be enough to warrant the...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc A combination of web browsing, light gaming, and probably a bit of rendering and photoshop. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Budget is $900 including tax and shipping (would prefer it to be around...

My guess is a low resolution. Try using a resolution around 300 dpi or greater instead of the default 72. EDIT: For comparison, here's the print preview in Photoshop of 72 pt text at two different resolutions: EDIT2: After reading your post, it sounds like it's only the text that...

I installed Ubuntu 8.10 today (dual boot with XP). It's my first time dealing with a linux operating system and I must say, everything went surprisingly smooth. It detected most of my hardware automatically. The Nvidia drivers have been working perfectly and so has my wired NIC. Hardware...

I think you need to install this one: http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/v24-sp1/Consumer/Linksys/WRT310N/dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt310n.bin then this one: http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/v24-sp1/Consumer/Linksys/WRT310N/dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin I'm not 100% positive though...

Seconded. Malwarebytes is great! Good luck cleaning out your friend's PC.

I turn mine off because I use it as a backup HD. I don't want to have both my internal HD and external HD fried because of a power surge and be left with no backups.

That's a strange problem. Could a busted capacitor on the GPU cause a problem like this? I'm just taking a wild guess here.

Do you have anything around your house that operates at ~2.4 Ghz (like a cordless phone)? Maybe you're getting interference from something.

First, open up Task Manager and end the Google Updater process. Then go to C:\Documents and Settings\[USER NAME]\Local Settings\Application Data and delete the Google folder (I'd be careful here; if you have other Google Apps, they may reside in this folder. If this is the case, open the folder...
