Hey guys, my old phone broke the other night so I had to get a new one. I bought my friends Samsung Galaxy S3 for Verizon, with hopes of getting it to work with my T Mobile network. It does voice and MMS, but no data at all. If I root it, I can get Edge data. I'd rather save myself from the...

My laptop has been taking some severe performance hits whenever I plug it into the wall.

Specifically, I'll be playing WoW, and...

What is a good PCI (not PCI express) that supports HDMI? I don't care how new it is, as long as it supports HDMI. The older radeon HD cards without hdmi outputs on them will still output HDMI if you use a DVI-HDMI adapter right? Need something to put in a computer without a PCI-e slot. The...

I was installing my motherboard into a new case. I wasn't paying attention to something, and I ended up pulling a capacitor off. The inerds are still on the board but the black part is detatched. I know how to solder, so I'm going to resolder a replacement capacitor to the board. Is there any...

I've got a huge problem going right now, and I don't know which part is broken. Basically, whenever I try running a 3D game, or do anything that is somewhat hard drive intensive, or even just hardware intensive in general, I'll get either a blue screen or just a black screen. (The blue screen...
