    Is my motherboard dead?

    Hahahaha! It's alive! Every thing is working normally! I think... I think I might be a wizard or something!

    Is my motherboard dead?

    OMG! I think I might of actually fixed it. After removing away the burned stuff on that line, I discovered a severed TINY flat piece of copper wire. I guess that's a "printed" circuit wire? Anyway, I used a tiny piece of wire, a soldering iron, and a bit of electrical tape to reattach the two...

    Is my motherboard dead?

    Could this be the problem? (Sorry for the crappy picture. It was taken with a Nexus 7) That blackish/brown line smells burnt and it's raised off the board a little bit. That's right under the PCI slot where I said the smell came from. I've got a soldering iron, but I don't think I can fix it...

    Is my motherboard dead?

    No dice. Tried my 520 watt corsair and still stuck at the splash screen. I've had to build at least 40 PCs since 2002 for various friends/family/coworkers and this is the first time I've had a motherboard die on me. I've even got a 2.4GHz P4 XP box based on an ASUS mobo that I built in 2001...

    Is my motherboard dead?

    I'll try removing the PSU from my main computer and trying it with that. After I've done that, I'll tell you the outcome. =/

    Is my motherboard dead?

    It's an Intel d510mo. This morning, I plug the power cord for computer into the outlet, and immediately I smell something like slightly burning plastic. Though, the smell faded away as soon as it came. I turned the computer on hoping there was no damage and the Intel splash screen came up. I...

    Which of these PCI cards is better?

    LOL. Thanks. I'm hoping it'll run Unreal Tournament 2004 or games around that level.

    Which of these PCI cards is better?

    I need a regular, non-express, PCI video card with a HDMI port. So far I've found two: ZOTAC ZT-60604-10L GeForce GT 610 512MB SPARKLE 700014 GeForce 8400 GS 512MB , but I can't tell which one is better in terms of 3D game (old games obviously :-) ) performance and watching videos in...

    Might as well do this. Thanks for the advice everyone.

    Antec ISK-110 + gaming?

    I inherited an Antec ISK-110 from my friend who is upgrading to a case with more space for hard drives. I've got some spare DDR3 1333 sticks and laptop hard drives laying around, so I want to make a build out of it. Given that the case has no expansion card slot and it only has a 90watt...

    Help me ID this motherboard?

    Damn. Somebody bought it. I submitted my best offer of $14 (yeah. I'm a cheap bastard.) LOL. Ah well.

    Help me ID this motherboard?

    Any idea what brand/model this motherboard is. This dude is selling it on eBay (He's got 100% positive feedback with an 800 rating, so he seems legit.) for really cheap, but he doesn't know model or manufacturer. He said he bought it as a CPU+MEM+MOBO combo, but all he wanted was the CPU and...

    I want to play "Point and Click" adventure games from my couch.

    I want to play "Point and Click" adventure games (King's Quest, Broken Sword, etc.) from my couch. What are my options? I've tried using a wireless mouse + keyboard, but I don't like it. The keyboard is too bulky and the mouse requires a surface to run on. Is there something out there for PCs...

    Estimated size of these fans?

    Ok. I have a weird request. Can someone estimate the size of the three fans (they're next to that huge heatsink) in the image below? The dimensions of the projector are (L x W x H ): 297 mm x 210 mm x 43 mm

    External PSUs. Where can I buy them?

    When I say "gaming", I mean between Quake 3 and Team Fortress 2, not Crysis and Modern Warfare 2. I have a really good gaming PC already, but I want to build one that will fit in this box and run at least TF2 or greater depending on how much power I can reasonably cram in there. Also, I want...
