    Ungrounded outlets in my room. Hazardous to my health?

    That would explain a lot. How would I do that? What would I use and where would I run it to? Nothing in this room is grounded to my knowledge and the only grounded outlet in the house is in the living room. This house is old.

    Ungrounded outlets in my room. Hazardous to my health?

    The surge protector is plugged into an adapter that uses 2 prongs.

    Ungrounded outlets in my room. Hazardous to my health?

    This isn't a question about my laptop, but more of a question about my own personal health! My laptop is metal, when I type on it plugged in, I notice the ground light on my surge protector flicker on. When I stop touching my keyboard, it goes off. I'm acting as a ground... Now I've...

    Best game of the year

    I have played ArmA 2, and I have to say that if the milsim genre had a bigger fanbase, it would have a chance at GotY. Sadly most people don't have the patience for them.

    Am I sensing some role reversal between ATi and Nvidia now? Is ATi starting to become THE graphics card company again?

    Resolution problems. Big resolutions before drivers installed, Limited after.

    Ok, so here is a good question. Before I install my display drivers, (for my ATi Radeon HD4850) I can get very big resolutions. Like up to 1280x1024. But when I install my drivers, I am limited to 800x600 to 1024x768. Also, I have been using the right drivers. Why is this?

    How do I know if I can watch HD movies on my monitor?

    So yeah, essentially I am very confused. I never peak at monitors too much, but I know I need a new one. My question is though, how do I know if my monitor can support HD content? I never really see it advertised (seeing as I don't peak at them too often). Will it just say it?

    P35 chipset problem. Installed software, mouse & keyboard stop working.

    So yeah, after I install the P35 intel chipset software and reboot, my keyboard and mouse just stop working. They work on boot up, but when I go into windows, it just stops... anyone else had this problem? Did I even have to install that software? Also specs are in sig, + an ATi 4850...

    4850 install problems, PC will not even boot up. Please Read

    Well it is definitely dead now. I thought that maybe the 6pin adapters on my PSU were broken, so I used the adapter where you hook up 2 3pin adapter. I made sure all connections were firm, then I turned her on. Smoke came out of the fan, confirmed dead, so now I can return it for defective...

    4850 install problems, PC will not even boot up. Please Read

    So yeah, I replaced my old video card, ATi Radeon 9250, just took it out of the pci slot, and I placed my new 4850 in the pci-e slot. The 6pin power plug is plugged into the card, and on my first boot, it got to the windows xp loading screen, and then it just shut off. Now when I try to turn...

    Defcon Megathread - Global Nuclear Domination

    That is not what I meant by megathread.... On the board I come from, Facepunch, which is a VERY popular board if you visit it. A megathread is where it contains a good amount of information about a game, it is not based on the posts it contains. :) I still play games over a year old.

    Why It's OK To 'Steal' Wi-Fi
