    Not sure what the quality of these is...I see mixed feedback about them. Some reviews say they don't last well in high draw devices, but for something like a clock or remote they could be a good deal. http://1saleaday.com/family/

    wireless connection drops off intermittently

    I've been having a very frustrating problem with my WIFI, I wasn't sure where the best place to put this was...it's not really a networking thing, I dunno if it's a hardware thing or a software thing. It's got me totally stumped. What will happen is my internet will be just fine and then...

    So I've recently started having a problem with my Asus g1s laptop. I don't know what happened but one day it just went into hibernation while I was using it.

    problem editing video

    I have a TV card in my computer. I have been trying to find some way to edit the files to remove the commercials and shrink the file size. I haven't been able to find any programs that accept the files as they are recorded so I think I need to convert them to another format first, but I've also...

    Software won't run on AMD processor?

    I have a friend with some software they are trying to install on an older machine they have for their kids. This particular machine uses an old AMD processor. It says right on the box that it won't run on an AMD processor. My question is sort of two-fold, is it possible for software to be...

    Strange lock-up issues

    I am not really sure where this goes, so I'll just guess at a forum and if it needs moving it can (sorry about that, not trying to create extra work for the mods). I've been having issues with my computer for awhile now. It will just randomly lock-up on me. Sometimes the computer doesn't...

    I have an older computer I am looking to add a video card to so I can use a dual-monitor setup. It has onboard video and a couple of PCI slots.

    I know that with any sort of moving part minor vibrations are normal. However, sometime in the past 24 hours my PSU has started vibrating. It's an Antec Earthwatts 500. Should I be worried about this...or is it just normal?

    Do I have another option?

    I recently bought something on here. DC shows it was delivered last thursday, but I never got it. I was around all day and I didn't hear the postman.

    My sister lost her computer and so needs a new one. She really doesn't need a whole lot of processing power.

    My grandmothers computer is about 3 years old. It has been running absolutely stable with no problems until recently. A few months ago the mouse stopped working. It was having IRQ issues.

    Wireless networking equipment

    I had a few questions about setting up a wireless network for my family. I have mainly been looking at two different routers. The Linksys WRT54 GS and the Buffalo WHRHPG54.

    Computer won't boot...Hardware issue?

    My mother got a Compaq Presario NS1500NX a few months ago. I recently got a phone call from my parents saying it is having problems. It started with making the noise the computer makes if you hold a keydown too long and now it won't boot into windows at all. I have tried 3 or 4 different...

    Internet strangeness--wasn't sure where to put this

    I have a problem with my internet. I do web design so I have a few browsers installed on my computer.

    BFG warranty worth it?

    I am building a new computer and need a video card. I am looking at either the 9800 pro or the 6600GT as they both seem to be around the same price and would both be plenty for what I need. That said I am leaning towards the 6600 because it is as cheap, if not just a bit cheaper. I know that...
