    Two new Antec power supplies keep going into protection mode?

    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...

    ino its another "which 19?" thread...

    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...

    Ok to safely remove hardware? WD SATA2

    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...

    Half Life 2 will not run in full screen

    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...

    Help me choose a good mouse.

    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.

    Trouble hitting 2ghz with AXP mobile 2200+

    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.

    Trouble hitting 2ghz with AXP mobile 2200+

    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...

    Trouble hitting 2ghz with AXP mobile 2200+

    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...

    Best Catalyst Drivers for 9800pro?

    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...

    Epox 8RDA+ (nforce 2) support for mobile bartons?

    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...

    Don't have ps2, want GT4-like driving game for pc

    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...

    Stuck in HL2....help

    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. :(

    newer slim ps2 better than original?

    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.

    Computer Business

    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.

    Gamers: what router do you have?

    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.

    Do you get BSOD's when you are overclocked? Try coming back down to stock speed and see if it continues.

    What games do you wish you had finished???

    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...

    Why cds instead of dvds?

    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.
