    if u use a soft pad youll probly never wear the feet out and youll be far less likely to scratch up the feet. i prefer the feelto a hard pad but it eats mousefeet like crazy. even when you're anal about keeping the mouse and the pad clean at all times there is always stuff that gets on the pad...

    Screen resizes when playing a video

    when you say your tv is "normal" when not viewing video, what does that mean? make sure you are running the tv in the native PC resolution. if you do not then your screen will be all screwy. my old sony lcd had a weird pc resolution. either that or the videocard is auto-resizing the picture ( i...

    Crosshair V sleep issue....

    well im not sure why, but this new ram seems to have solved the problem. ive put the systemto sleep 3 times and ive been able to wake it each time. the only setting that i can see that is different in the bios is that "memory power down" is now disabled. this ram uses exactly the same settings...

    Crosshair V sleep issue....

    so i went ahead and re-enabled the default-sized page file on my C drive. now the system wakes up when i put it to sleep for a long period (at least it did for me today). to my knowledge sleep is supposed to affect the ram not the hard drive...so whats going on?? ive had the page disabled on my...

    Crosshair V sleep issue....

    thanks for the response raja, however, there are no choices anywhere in the bios that i can find that relate to wake by usb at all. in fact all the usual apm settings im used to seeing (ie power management s1/s3) are not there. if i put my system to sleep i can wake it up after only a min or two...

    Crosshair V sleep issue....

    this happens mainly when the system has been put to sleep for a longer period of time (ie overnight).....no matter what i press it won't resume from sleep. the power button is blinking like its in sleep mode, but the keyboard does nothing. the one thing i find odd is when i hit the spacebar i...

    1100t oc'ing temps...

    yea thanks i was thinking the same thing. i just didnt want to push it too far for normal usage. im guessing the benchmarks are more to test stability, so even at 3.8 i cant imagine any scenario where id ever come close to the prime95 temps. btw im using cpuid hardwaremonitor to get my temp...

    1100t oc'ing temps...

    How to boot from USB drive on old mobo [A7V600] to install windows 7

    be aware that some older boards may or may not install win 7. and even if it does that doesnt mean it will be stable. i guess it doesnt hurt to try though.

    Need tool to cut window in case

    USB 3.0 Adapter (external plug to onboard socket)

    indeed they did send out adapters. the big issue with those adapters is that they are almost useless. you have to use the original 3ft usb 3 extension cables that came with the case, then add the 6-7 inch adapter cable to be able to plug it onto the midboard connector. its just stupid. they...

    antec stock fan? where to buy

    almost every pc shop in my town has antec fans in stock or can order them in. the add-in fans are all clear bodies with coloured leds. some of the stock antec fans ive seen are black bodies. never seen any of the black bodied ones for sale. imo the clear body ones are a bit brighter anyways.

    Cable box doesn't make image on TV fit right

    you shouldnt need the computer at all to get a proper picture on the tv. if anything, that wintv tuner will make the picture look worse quality wise. i would simply go back to using the "cable cord" to hook up to your tv. youre not going to see any difference between a standard cable input and...
