    Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 running Tomato and locking up every so often.

    Like the subject states, my Buffalo wireless router running Tomato is having an issue where it will appear to lock-up and stop functioning. What happens is that the wireless radio light stays solid and all of the network connections cease transmitting any sort of data. Everything is up-to-date...

    Endlessly Repeating Semicolon in Win 7 x64

    I just recently started having an issue in my installation of Windows 7 Professional x64 where after a short random amount of time the semicolon character is repeated non-stop. It can be influenced by other inputs like holding shift to make a colon or hitting escape to clear the field but it is...

    MW2 and Motion Sickness?

    I was curious if anyone has any problems with motion sickness in this game. I don't have it yet but have been considering picking it up but only if I know I won't want to vomit after 30 minutes of forcing myself to play. I had this problem with the first MW and is the reason why I uninstalled it...

    Blinking cursor in games.

    So I've been having this issue where I get a stationary blinking cursor in games whenever I play a game for an extended period of time, close out of it, and then open it back up after an extended period of time not playing. This does not happen after a fresh reboot though. This only happens once...

    A64 3200 Fluctuating Frequency

    For some reason my core speed seems to be fluctuating. Drastically too, like down to 1GHz from 2GHz. At times Windows system properties will display my correct speed of 2GHz but other times it will list 1GHz (or so). Even CPU-Z displayed this. Any idea what's up? Maybe a BIOS setting or...

    Need help weighing decisions on a motherboard replacement

    I am looking to replace a defective ABIT VT-7 mobo on my dad's unit. It's a 478 Intel board and I am wondering if it would be better to just find a replacement 478 board which are pretty sparse as of late, OR just get a whole new mobo+cpu bundle. If I go for the new bundle I'm debating whether...

    Good PSU for this system?

    I'm planning to upgrade my system to an ASUS A8N SLI Premium with an AMD 64 3200+ Venice CPU. No plans to do SLI yet but maybe in the future, my video card is going to be the BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC. My picks of power supplies were the FSP AX400-PN or the Fortron AX450-PN (which isn't listed...

    I think my ABIT VT7 may be borked.

    I bought an ABIT VT7 as a replacement mobo for my dad. He was using an old Dell and with a few things here and there I got him into a new Lian Li case and 1GB DDR RAM and all of that goodness instead of 256MB of RDRAM. The processor itself is an Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz... to be honest I...

    Another kind of motherboard suggestion thread.

    Here's my situation, actually it's my dad's situation: He has an old Dell Dimension 8200 from forever ago. The thing uses a 1.8GHz Pentium 4 and has only 256MB of RDRAM. He's been complaining of about how slow it was even after a complete reformat and I've explained to him that it's the amount...

    Why do Athlon XP processors have an FSB rating?

    Sorry in advance if this might belong in the overclocking forum instead. I know I might be missing some details that I already know here but could anyone enlighten me as to why the AMD Athlon XP processors have an advertised rating of like a 400MHz FSB? The reason I ask this is because I...

    Weird lockups continue ... more details.

    I've been receiving strange system lockups recently where the system just halts and I can't move the mouse or anything. At times I can hear a weird sound come from the system, that I can hardly describe, it sounds like discharging or like some kind of power fluctuation? In any case I have to...

    RMA'ing my WD2000JB ... Alternatives?

    I'm going to be sending NewEgg back my WD2000JB that died and started clicking on me a little while ago. I have an extended warranty on it with them but I was wondering if they can replace it with another drive of equal spec but of a different brand. If that is possible who should I look for...

    Hard drive makes clicking noises now, what should I do?

    The other night I went to reinstall my 200GB Western Digital hard drive since my shitty Soyo motherboard had died on me earlier that week and I replaced it with an Abit. Well, needless to say I believe I put the jumper on correctly for the "single/neutral" position of operation. I booted the...
