Someone gave me an iMac and I'd like to wipe the drive clean. Not really familiar with OS X, I have no idea how to do this. I don't have an OS disc either. Any suggestions? I think it's currently running 10.5 and is an iMac G5.

I can't win. After dealing with the internet dropping once every two weeks, I decided that upgrading the firmware might help. Turns it all it did was exacerbate the problem and now my internet drops every few minutes. I've been plugged into my modem for a good 20 minutes at this point with no...

So I just tried burning a dual-layer DVD with my laptop, only to have it error out. I tried burning again and it told me to connect a device. Confused, I tried opening my drive. Nothing. I checked My Computer and my drive wasn't listed. Checked Device Manager, then looked in the BIOS and...

About a month ago I accidentally spilled some water on my laptop. After letting it air out and even covering the keyboard area in rice, it came back to life. Just recently though, the thing will shut itself off before the battery is even close to dead. It's not overheating because if I plug...

Anybody else disappointed with how this game runs? I have everything maxed out and it seems like just looking in certain directions will make my framerate drop dramatically. I should have no problem running this game with the system in my signature. Anyone know of any fixes for this?

Looking for a decent budget card. Was considering the 5770 1GB version. Thoughts?

Still at the Hilton Anatole this year.

For some reason UT2004 is displaying textures as if they're in 16 bit mode. If I take a screenshot though, everything looks normal. Here's an example of what I'm talking about. What's going on? I didn't have this problem before with my 4870. Recently upgraded to a 6970. I'm using the...

I'm trying to stream HD content using POE and it isn't working, at least not anymore. I'm using two TRENDNet 200Mbps blocks, with one connected to a PS3 under 30 feet away from the other block that's plugged into my router. PS3 Media Server gives me a different estimated speed every time...

http://3dmark.com/3dm11/404451 Lately I've been feeling like my new PC is chugging a bit when it really shouldn't be. Do these results look normal for what I've got? System is in the link and in signature.

I've got the Ultra 120 extreme on my Q6600 right now and was wondering where I could find, if it exists, mounting brackets for a 1366 motherboard? The Thermalright website is an absolute mess and isn't helping much. Thanks!

Sad day. I thought the PSU was the culprit but I just tested a new one and I still had the same issue. Looks like it's time to upgrade!

So I just bought GoW from the GfWL marketplace and I'm having a problem. I played yesterday for about an hour with no issues, but today when I start up the game is surrounded by a black box. I've checked the resolution and it says it's set to 1920x1080. I tried changing and then going back but...

Anybody else pick this up? So far it is definitely my game of the year. Tight controls (using 360 controller) and great gameplay make this a fantastic game. Still blown away by the fact it was put together by just two people. If you haven't picked it up on Steam yet I highly suggest it. It's...

or is it starting to lose the light? I've had it for a few years now and just recently it has started the day off with intense flickering. The past couple days it has failed to even stop flickering. I've decided that I want to try and fix it. From what I've read online this seems to require...

Just picked up a PS3 and would like game recommendations. I'm mostly a PC gamer and won't do FPS on a console, but other than that I enjoy the typical stuff. I picked up LittleBigPlanet and MGS4 so far.

Thoughts on this? The most I'm ever going to do is stream from my computer and Netflix. The web browsing is cool but I've got three laptops and two desktops that handle the internet quite well. The interface is fantastic and I really feel like the product has potential, but it seems a bit wasted...

So for the past four days whenever I turn on my PC my monitor flickers until I unplug it from my video card and then plug it back in. I thought it was my video card until I saw it flickering on the "CHECK CABLE" screen while unplugged. After I plug it back in, it's fine for the whole day...

How are you enjoying the phone? Any problems? What kind of fixes have you done? Coming from the G1, this phone is crazy. Beautiful screen, decent pictures; I love it. I'm still not 100% great at the touch screen typing but majority of the time autocorrect fixes any mistakes. So far I have...

A friend recently gave me his Bell HTC Touch Pro because he upgraded to a Blackberry. Sadly I have no use for this phone as it can't be activated on Sprint. Looking for maybe $80 or best offer or trades. Phone has light scratches on the screen but nothing terrible. Running the latest...

So a friend of mine from Canada gave me his Touch Pro because he upgraded to a Blackberry. Right now the phone will sometimes decide to perform actions on its own (example: I took a picture, then the phone switched to video and began to record a video). I did some searching and couldn't find...

Hello there. Just recently my girlfriend's PC has done something weird. After gaming for about 30 minutes the monitor goes blank and all audio cuts out. The PC is still getting power but the monitor is acting as if there is nothing hooked up to it. Updated drivers, ran memtest, hell even...

Selling my beast of a laptop. I need a school laptop and this doesn't quite work out for me. Asking $500 OBO for it (It usually sells for $800). I've never sold here before so I don't know anything heat or whatever. Local pickup is preferred, but will ship for an extra $20. live in Union Park...

Hello there! My friend is trying to install Windows 7 on his PC but he's getting an error before start up even starts. The installer tells him that the driver for his DVD drive is missing, which is odd considering the installer in running from said DVD drive. Anyone have any experience with this?

I cannot, for the life of me, get my ports to forward. I currently have my Embarq 660 modem in bridge mode and have set up a static IP for my computer. Whenever I do the necessary steps to forward a port, I check the port only to find it's still not forwarding. What's going on? My router is a...

Hello there. Long time lurker, just now registered (yet again) to make this post (yet again) because I can't take it anymore. My Q6600 refuses to overclock at all and I've decided that I'm just doing something wrong. I know you guys here know what you're doing when it comes to overclocking so I...
