    HP laptop charger unloaded voltage

    I have a 18.5v 3.5a charger that is putting out 19.5v unloaded. I'm trying to figure out if that's normal, or if it's the reason this G60 is frying every chip on the board when plugged in. I dont want to replace the board if it's just going to fry again.

    Looking to build a retro box just like one I used to have years ago, so I need to have a specific motherboard for the project: an EPoX MVP3G-2 or an MVP3G-5. So far the only one I've been able to find is on eBay and the seller wants $105. He can keep it. I know there's a slim chance I'll...

    I'm running a long DST test on a 750GB drive I just got basically for free and it's occasionally making a chirping sounds when it seeks. I've found quite a few people mentioning their Seagate drives chirping, but not anything conclusive about this being a sign of drive failure. So far there...

    Ugrade CPU or GPU?

    A buddy of mine wants to get a bit more performance playing WoW, but has to wait a few months for an all out upgrade. The problem he's having is that he can barely play the game, if at all, when a large group of people are nearby. Even in the open the best he can do is 15-20fps on the lowest...
