Hey guys, So I've been having some trouble lately with my comp. At first I thought it might be caused by the old and possibly corrupted hard drive I had my OS installed on but after replacing said drive the problem persists. Alright here's the issue. My computer has been freezing at what I...

Hey guys, I'm looking at upgrading to an i7 920 and need to pick a motherboard :) I have narrowed it down to these three. 141-BL-E757-TR <----- Leaning towards this one mostly due to looks :P 132-BL-E758-A1 132-BL-E758-TR I'm really looking for something I can learn to overclock...

Hey Guys, So I flashed the bios on my board to F12 the other day and now on boot my computer gets stuck on the Post Screen. (Screen where it says push Delete to go into the BIOS) To fix this I have to hit the switch on my PSU wait until my external drive no longer glows and then flip it...

Hey guys, Okay so I just got this HTIB and I'm trying to get it going on my computer via a Digital Optical cable. I was only getting sound out of the Front Right and Front Left speakers and was afraid that there was something wrong with the unit. But when I played a CD it worked beautifully...

Hey guys, I've been looking at the AS1810T-8638 but I haven't been able to find any reviews about it online. I was wondering if anyone had it and could tell me what they think. I am kind of skeptical of Acer Laptops. I've never owned one but one of my friends had one and it was awful. But it...

Hey guys, So I decided I want to go into computers and right now I'm really interested in Software Engineering but I'm not sure what to major in. The obvious choice is Computer Science but I was wondering if it is possible to go into this field with a Computer Information Systems Degree. I...

Hey guys, So my whole life I wanted to be a doctor, and I even went to a Medical Charter High School. Well during my Sophmore year I got my first computer, and after that I fell in love. I have since then built several rigs and absolutely love anything computer related. Anyways, my friends...

Hey guys, Alright so my computer was having some issues with "mini freezes". At first I thought my mouse was biting the dust because it would stop moving for a fraction of a second and then catch up to where it should be which was EXTREMELY annoying. Then I was playing some music and whenever...

Hey guys, So I'm looking to build a new comp and I want to make sure it will fit a 4850 X2 2GB. Is there a site or something that can tell me what graphics cards will fit in a certain case, or maybe how much room a case has for a gpu? Right now I have the NZXT Blackline and I'm pretty sure it...

Hey guys, So I have the LEXA Blackline and I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not the 4850 x2 2gb fits in it or not. The card is supposed to be 11.5" and after measuring my case it looks like it could fit without out modding but it is definitely very very very close. If anyone has...

Hey guys, Ok so my brother was having some trouble with his computer a while back and it was still under warranty so they took it in. They were told the hard drive was "corrupt" so it was replaced. Last time I went by I asked if I could have the old drive and they didn't see why not so I took...

Okay so today I turned on my 32XBR6 and it came on (picture didn't show but the backlight came on) then it went off, it came on again, and then turned off! Then the green Power light went out and the red Standby light started blinking. It blinks 6 times, stops, and then blinks 6 more times. I...

Hey guys, So BIOS is showing that my Q6600 is running at 3.2ghz but when I look at system properties it shows that my processor speed is 3.6ghz. Is there something I am doing that is causing this or should I just ignore Vista? Thanks in advance

Hey guys, Ok so I built a new rig the other day, and I had a couple questions about OCing. First off I have the Q6600 (G0) and I would like to get it to 3.0ghz or 3.2 ghz. Thing is I am using the stock cooler. HWMonitor shows that the chip is idling at 47C (should I be worried about this?). Now...

Hey guys, Ok so I built my first rig yesterday and the case has 3 temp sensors. One for the CPU one for the Hard Drive and a third for what ever. The thing is the case manual doesn't give any instructions beyond place the sensors on the appropriate spots. So does anyone know of a guide or have...

Ok so I posted this setup about a month ago but I changed a couple things. Just wanted to get everyone's opinion. My biggest concern is the PSU. Will it be able to power everything there? Also will it be able to handle any small additions later on? Oh and will I have to buy anything else to help...

Hey guys, I didn't see a thread in here about PrizeRebel so I figured I'd make one. After signing up at PrizeRebel you fill out surveys they have links to. Pretty much you just enter a bunch of fake info, and click No a lot. You make a various amount of points per survey and each point is...

Hey guys! Ok so I have never built a comp before and have been trying to pick out the pieces :) I just need to know if what I have picked out will all be compatible and if there is something I could to save money or boost performance at the same cost. I watch a lot of HD movies, play a little...

Hey guys, I've been trying to restore my parents mpc all in one computer, model number L373N1 and I have been able to find the driver for it anywhere! I have found a driver for everything else and all the download links for the audio driver I've found are broken. Any advice on finding it? I...

Hi guys, Ok so i just bought the Sony 32XBR6 from CC and got it hooked up to my comp with a DVI to HDMI cable. The display is great except i got some overscan going on :( I am using an Nvidia 8600 GT. Anyone got a fix? Thanks in advance Timm

Ok guys. I wanted to see if anyone has either of these displays and can give their opinion or if they have been able to compare them to each other in real life. With both i have seen sites that say they have a refresh rate of 120Hz and others that say they have a normal 60Hz refresh. Anyone know...

Hi guys, Ok so i have been trying to decide whether or not i should go with a hdtv or a monitor for my comp. I had a the w2408h and the movie playback was awful, while playing WoW was amazing. I returned the monitor because I really do watch a lot of movies, so I am back down to one 19"...
