    USB 3 ports not working during boot up

    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...

    Firefox Crashes on Close No Matter What

    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.

    Pondering New Build and Would Appreciate Input

    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...

    Photoshop printing blurry text - WHY?!

    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...

    Why are my pictures blurry on Blogger?

    Your blogger site scales images down to 320 px width through CSS: <img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3162/2934045506_67afbd48fd.jpg" border="0"> This makes your browser do the resizing and...

    Ubuntu 810 very good.

    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...

    keep external hard drive on?

    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.

    computer freezes during gaming

    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.

    Uninstalling Google update service

    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...
