    Sony TZ-190 Freezing up, any advice?

    I've inherited a Vaio TZ-190n/b from work. Apparently it freezes up all the time making it unusable. I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 RC and the appropriate drivers from Windows update with no Sony stuff and it was working great for maybe an hour before it froze up again. Here's a...

    VX2025WM or 2007WFP?

    I need to get a pretty decent 20" WS monitor for use at school with my old computer and don't want to spend a lot or setting for a cheapie TN screen, so I was thinking about getting a VX2025WM since they're about $340 which is roughly the same as the Dell 2007WFP, but the Dell has the lottery...

    COD3 for Wii or 360?

    I have a 360 now and want to get COD3. I'm not going to play online, so I'm wondering if I should wait until I get a Wii to pick up COD3 or just get it now. Are the graphics that much better on the 360 version? Or should I wait until I can pick up a Wii?

    PC Power & Cooling case fans?

    Any comments about these fans? I need 80 and 92mm case fans that are quiet and am pretty impressed with my PCP&C PSU, so I'm leaning towards these. My existing Vantec Stealths kind of suck, so time for an upgrade.

    evga 7900gt co or 7900gt co superclock?

    I have an X2 3800+ running at 2.5, which would suit this cpu better for gaming? Is the superclock worth it for the extra $50-60? I don't think I need the GTX unless I can get a deal, so I'm mainly looking at the GTs. I'm currently running an evga 6800GT.

    I just built a new computer out of spare parts and my video card's fan does not power on during boot up (or ever for that matter). Also, my screen is black and I don't see any post or anything (like the monitor is not getting signal), so I'm guessing it's fried. I don't have another agp card...
