    System reboots

    by the way, just FYI... spybot is only one of the good free spyware scanning and removal tools: I use Ad-Aware and also (under win xp or 2000), Microsoft's Anti-spyware. ad-aware and spybot can both run in the safe mode, ms antispyware cannot. ad-aware allows you to do a thorough scan of...

    System reboots

    it's possible that your harddrive might be going bad or the ram maybe be going bad. one way to try to see if everything's okay would be to backup anything that's really important , format the HD and reinstall everything from scratch, if that completes- you may be fine. to test ram, you...

    help on how to reformat a mac

    yes, as the previous poster said, it appears that you're trying to use Mac OS restore cds that belong to a different model. you will not be able to install anything but the basic OS that way (if anything at all). I'm afraid you're gonna have to buy or ask a friend for a stand-alone copy of...

    problems with BFG 6800GT and NF3 250

    have you tried running memtest86 for , say, a dozen loops? or, does your ram consist of mismatched sticks? as in, maybe the same type, but from different manufacturers? try looking there, perhaps you'll discover something...

    Problems installing Windows XP on Hitachi 500GB drive

    you know how when you boot off the xp cd, it gives you an option to press F6 to install additional storage drivers (such as your motherboard's sata drivers)? I was wondering if you missed that step...if you did, make sure you make a floppy disk with those drivers on it, and the floppy...

    ati radeon 9700 pro..quick question

    to be honest, I don't think it's overheating (unless, of course you have no case fans at all), as far as I know, the card's cooler and fan were specifically designed to keep the card cool under most circumstances. my first thought would be a driver issue (which can be resolved, in most cases...

    is this motherboard good

    yeah, I'd go with the MSI, it's packed with features and should allow for nice overclocking. I'll be staying away from asus products for a while (if not forever) because of a personal bad experience with their socket 754 boards (went through 3 of the same kind, all had a failing secondary...

    AN8 - Audigy compatibility issues ???

    yes, the audigy series of soundcards brought a lot of grief to many users (myself included) apparently, they do not like sharing IRQs with other devices. my recommendation would be to try the audigy card in different PCI slots, starting from the bottom one and going up. you just might get it...

    nForce 4 6.54 ForceWare killed my comp!

    backup your important data first (if you can and/or have any), nuke the harddrive and reinstall everything from scratch. you'll also be well-advised to use Norton Ghost to make a set of recovery cds (or keep a ghost image file on a secondary harddrive) with a snapshot of when your system was...
