    Vista shuts down but my tower does not

    Alright, I have two weeks to RMA and replace the entire rig, if I can't figure it out by then, I'll just replace everything for teh heck of it... just in case :P Specs: Some generic mobo (problem in it of itself) Core 2 quad Q6600 3 gigs pc5300 DDR2 500 GB Deskstar...

    Vista shuts down but my tower does not

    I'm actually having this exact problem. Even telling vista to shut down explicitly doesn't power down anything but my video card and hard drive. I just assembled this, so i was thinking hardware.. but it shuts down fine out of bios and knoppix.

    Vista / Geforece 8 series = Crashes, blue screens

    if you have a licence for vista, can't you choose EITHER 32 ro 64 bit whenever? I don't think it's a seperate key, just get an x64 disk. Feel free to correct me, I'l dig around microsoft licence agreements in the meantime.

    Another Intel Dual-Core Celeron in 2Q08

    Well, it's as simple as: Not everyone needs a $100 - $1000 proc. If all someone does is read email, blogs, and PDFs, surf the internet, and watch youtube, a dual core of any kind will pull you through, It may not make much sense on a small scale, but think of maybe schools or recreatin centres...

    Does a good LCD exist?

    Well, with some monitors now running with very low responce time, I'd be surprised to have any problems with image distortion. If you had probelms with LCDs 2 years ago, understandable, but the technology has changed quite a bit in recent years, so I'd give them another try. Your CRTs only have...

    Does a good LCD exist?

    wait for LED grid backlighting (with the turn-an-LED-off technology) or OLCD, then you'll get true black, for now, CRTs still work... right?

    Quad Core only showing 3 cores?

    I'd say check your power supply, make sure there's enough juice to go around? other than that, I havn't seen any screens of task manager. AND there has been a slight problem with rebranding certain cpu's to look like they have more active cores than they do, I saw a story in maximum pc, but I'm...

    Dude Recived 2 9600GT by mistake

    I find it funny that he would get these cards, know what they are, and not know how to use a damn camera. Also: why would he tear the heatsink off it first thing out of the box? o well...

    Windows Home Server

    Persumably you'd be able to run it IN VMWARE or other virtual hardware apps, but wouldn't bank on having VMWARE installed onto home server. were you able to install any apps in home server? if so, look at the installers, if they are made for home server, and not xp/vista I wouldn't get any hopes up.

    Slower Quad Core or? Faster Dual Core

    oversimplification indeed :D it makes the chip much cooler too, and gives room for more transistors i believe. It also makes Intel release old 45 disks (for music) with ads about the chip ^.^

    Opps...

    I like to think of it as making it more efficient :)
