    Fallout 3 mouse acceleration

    I can't get rid of mouse acceleration in Fallout 3 no matter what. I've forced vsync off with ATI tray tools (after overcoming some hurdles to install it on vista64) and adjusted the number of frames rendered ahead (a.k.a. the flip queue size). Can't find anything in the Fallout 3 default...

    Computer resets randomly

    A few days back I was trying to recover data from an HDD of a broken laptop and I used an external HDD box to connect it to my PC via 2 USB cables (1 for power, 1 for data). When I plugged it in, my computer went crazy making a weird noise while the fans ramped up to full speed. I immediately...
