I was wondering if you guys might have some good pointers on diagnosing my machine before I sink any money into it. For the past month or so I've been getting BSOD's (caused by hal.dll according to bluescreenviewer) once or twice a day but for the past couple of days its gotten worse (every...

So my friend is needing a new gaming PC but he doesn't have much in the way of cash and is asking me for advice. He first had me looking at some $400 dell desktops at bestbuy's site (he's got a couple of BB gift cards to go with some cash) a long with some sub-$600 laptops (He's kind of torn I...

I just recently was forced to replace my 8800gtx with a brand spankin new GTX 560ti and its causing me all sorts of audio issues. The hdmi audio works fine but the problem is I want to disable it so I can keep using my onboard audio (I've got some stuff hooked up to line in etc..). I've tried...

So I've run into a major issue with my new tv (Vizio VOJ320F1A). With my Wii hooked up via component inputs and set to 480p/16:9 I'm still getting a 4:3 picture with "wide" set to normal. My only option is to use the Panoramic or Zoom features as there is no "full" option for this set of inputs...

I just did a clean install of Windows 7 (was using Vista64) and everything seems ok but Win7 can't find my eSata external drive (Vista64 had no problems with it). I'm guessing its due to a missing chipset driver however I am unsure which one to use. I have this motherboard...

I'm a little lost as to what to recommend to a friend of mine. He wants a light weight laptop/mini laptop for Web/work stuff but one that has great battery life and he's wanting to buy very soon (otherwise I'd tell him to wait for the new flood of "Eee pc's"). I haven't had a chance to go over...

I'm kind of new to using this external drive enclosure and I'm having this weird problem. If its hooked up via eSata I can't seem to open certain folders (says they are unreadable or corrupted with my iTunes folder for example) but if I run it via USB they open fine. Any idea whats causing this...

My power supply (at least it seems that way) has given up the ghost in my Shuttle SN26P and it looks like to replace it would take an act of congress. I can't actually test it so I dragged it over to a local Mom and Pop shop to see if they could be sure its the PSU and they couldn't even check...

I saw a posting on another forum about this game and after checking out some trailers I decided I'd give it a shot. This is TMNT all over again. Great GBA game but the other titles most likely not as good. After playing about 45mins so far IMO this is what God of War might play like as a GBA...

For those of you running them how well does the SN26p handle a 8800GTX? No problems as far as heat and power go? I was running a pair of 7800GT's but one of my cards recently up and died on me :( so I'm on a single card now. I'd really like to get another year or so out of this box but with...

Over the past few weeks I have noticed what I can only describe as a light grey 'blob' in the shape of a scretched out S on the bottom left half of my screen. I don't think it is image persistance as it doesn't look like anything that I've had running. It only shows up on certain colors also...

Alright only had this new rig about 2 weeks and I'm starting to think maybe I should send it back (I cheated and had shuttle build it lol) and build my own single core single video card uber rig as these driver/lockup issues are driving me nuts! Some games (EQ and WoW) have these funky...

Ugh ok this is a nightmare. I've built my own before but this time I went for Shuttle's new SLI rig. (they built it I was lazy this time and never built a SFF) Had it about a week and a half or so and I'm to the point I may end up sending the sucker back. Specs: Shuttle XPC 4400+ x2...

I'm planning to build a new rig along with a new monitor soon (current one is a 10 year old 17 CRT) and to save a bit of cash I was thinking of going with a referbished 2005fpw. Has anyone bought one of these before? Any problems?
