I have a NEO 550 HE and a SmartPower SP-500 that both keep shutting down after 20 minutes. The NEO emits a siren like tone when I try and start it back up. After waiting a few minutes the computer will start again and run for awhile before shutting down again.
This started when the SP500...
I recently built a computer for a girl using a Samsung 930BF - 4ms! which I thought looked amazing but it's a tad over your price at $355. Display is very sharp and bright. Used the DVI connection. I'm thinking about replacing my 19" CRT with this monitor unless there's something better in that...
I just built a computer for someone using a western digital 320gb SATAII drive on an Epox nForce4 ultra mainboard. After installing the forceware drivers I get a system tray icon telling me it's ok to safely remove my SATA hard disk.
1. Why is this icon popping up?
2. How can I make it go...
Just encountered this issue. When I run Half Life 2 I get some error message and then the game starts in a window. I tried reinstalling the game, directx, and the catalyst drivers. I still get the same thing. If I try and switch to full screen in the options menu it'll pop up the same message...
Some of my favs. from the 90's:

I just picked up an MX518 today. No complaints. Feels like a much higher quality product than my old Intellimouse 3.0. It is also much more comfortable to use. Hope this helps you.
Well just updated to the 04729 bios and no improvement. I got memory errors at 1800mhz. Now I am at 1700mhz and so far all is well. I was running @ 1900 for awhile with no troubles earlier today.
can't get the multiplier above 12.5 for some reason - it'll say it's at whatever I set it at but the cpu will revert to 600mhz. It's also saying "K7 Processo" in mycomputer>properties/general
I am thinking I need a BIOS update as well.
My system specs are in my sig. I'm using an Enermax...
I'm running @ 10x200. Windows boots up fine. I tried some stress testing with 3Dmark2k1 and my computer will restart after the first sequence completes. I tried upping the vcore and got the same result.
I then tried lowering the multiplier to 8.5x200 and ran 3Dmark again. This time it...
I'm running Catalyst 5.6 and my 3dmark01 scores went down by about 1000 after upgrading from the old 4.10 catalyst drivers. Catalyst Control Center IMO sucks. It's flaky as hell and is just a pain to navigate compared to the older drivers. I also didn't like having to dowloand and install MS...
I just ordered a mobile athlon XP 2200+ from newegg. It is the 1.35 volt version. I would like to know if my motherboard will support this CPU. My bios was last updated with the 8-27-2003 version which says it supports "200mhz cpu".
Epox's magic flash utility doesn't seem to want to connect...
I've got an old pentium 200 system and the power supply is fried. I want to get it running again and was hoping someone had a working one they could sell me. :)
Called Linksys tech support
They advised me to press the auto config button on the repeater within 2 feet of the router
make sure the router's firmware is up to date ( it is) and that WEP is disable which it is.
Ok when I go to wireless settings in XP it gives me a choice of wireless networks to connect to.
"linksys" is the wireless router in the basement
"linksys 1st floor" is a repeater on the first floor
"linksysRf08200" is the repeater WRE54G here in this room
connecting to the router in the...
Hello all. I am somewhat of a newbie when it comes to wireless networking.
I currently have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router in my basement. The computer on the second floor has a Linksys USB wireless ethernet bridge. I am getting very weak signal on this PC and can barely browse the web. I...
This is for my friend's Mac Mini btw. I installed Adium X and got him an AIM account so now we can chat and he can't bitch that my phone line is always busy (dial up hehe)
Anyway, thanks everyone for your help. I've been using Trillian 0.74i for awhile now with the blue turtle skin and love...
Some of the most fun racing games I've played were totally unrealistic.. i.e. Rollcage and Wipeout XL. ;)
I just bought a PS2 solely for the GT series and the GTA series. Can't beat the PS2 controller. I hate shit that's ported to the PC, it's never 100% done right. So far I've had the most...
The last section with the buggy you're in a dark tunnel full of obstacles and headcrabbed people stalking you. I ended up abandoning the buggy because I couldn't even see where I was driving and you can't use the flashlight in the buggy. :(
I've been thinking about *finally* buying a ps2 with GTA:SA out and GT4 coming up. Just wondering if the new design was quiet compared to the noisy old version.
I was looking into doing the same thing but building really high end custom systems.
I'm talking water cooled, hidden in a wall with a wall mount plasma and 5.1 surround. I do this for a living anyway (not the computer part) but I want to do it on the side to make more money.
We install a lot of Linksys WRT54G* models in people's homes. They work quite well and have decent range. We use a lot of wireless ethernet bridges as well to save from retrofitting a cat5 line in a house.
Definitely Final Fantasy 7. That game was my whole reason for buying a playstation and I never even got off CD1.
I've had Doom3 for over a month now and I stopped after reaching alpha labs lvl 3. Just got sick of running around dark hallways getting attacked from behind.
Freespace2. I've...
Baldur's Gate had a DVD edition, that was a long time ago. If Valve can count on players having broadband to install their games then they can count on us having DVD-ROMs too.
