Background: I've had an i7 920 OCd to 3.8GHz with an EVGA motherboard for years. I got this thing 4-5 years ago and the OC has been stable and fine since that was done. Never had any issues installing new hardware. I've gone through at least 2 GPU upgrades as well as additional RAM and never...

I have a friend who is looking to get rid of his old build (motherboard, Phenom II 965 Black Edition, and 8 GB of RAM) for about $30. I have no need for it, but I feel like this is a steal that I really shouldn't pass up as I could probably turn around and sell it and make a little bit of...

So, I've been looking around online, and trying different things on my sound card console to try and fix whatever the hell is wrong with my setup, but I am not getting any luck. issue: my PC volume is MAXED out. yes, it's turned up to 100% and the volume on my AD700's is ridiculously low...

I'm going to be that guy that asks this question that I'm sure plenty of you have answered a hundred times. For that I am sorry, but I am sort of in a pickle as far as what I should buy. Let me first say that I run a 1920x1080 resolution, but I plan to upgrade to a 1920x1200, or possibly...

I have a WRT54G v8 that I've had for years that I am using as a WAP for my home. It's fairly stable as it is with the signal strength pretty strong throughout the house. I have to restart it occasionally but it's pretty stable for the most part. Would I see any improvements if I load DD-WRT...

I can't find a way to email Netflix for tech support and I can't find anything on Google. Maybe someone here has an idea. Basically, when I stream any movie or show on my computer, the video is fine, it buffers faster than I can watch it. The sound on the other hand doesn't work. It's hard...

Is anyone able to sign up for your Nexon Passport for this game? I'm trying to sign up but when I click done, after filling in the fields, I get an error about "Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types." I don't see how it's my computer but I tried this like 3 weeks ago and got the...

I am the IT help desk guy here at my job and the only job openings for a higher position is a developer. I already talked to my boss about it and he said there is a position opening up soon for it. If I can learn the language and prove I am qualified for the job, then the position is mine...

I am unable to find any pictures of the back of this sub. I was wondering if anyone here knows if it has the standard RCA Input/Output jacks so I can hook it up to my computer with the Audioengine A2's. I am just assuming it does since most self pwoered subs seem to have it. Can anyone...

I just got my Audioengine A2's and man they are small. They sound great but i am going to buy a sub for some more bass. I was thinking about this Dayton SUB-80 8" HT. I don't need a huge amount of power since the room isn't too small. I don't want to spend a whole lot more since I've already...

This may be the wrong place to ask this but I wanted to try and get some more information regarding the Comcast Business Class service they offer. I currently have one of the Comcast Double Play packages and I am paying about $150 a month. I have Basic Cable TV with their 6MB internet...

I have spent an hour trying to find some of these things and it's as if they don't exist. I basically need about 5 Full Tower Video Card Brackets. I need them to have a VGA & DVI. I can only find Low profile brackets. The only full tower bracket I could find has 2 DVI instead of a VGA & DVI...

My old speakers have been acting very strange lately so I am looking to getting a new set for my computer. I am looking to get a nice 2.1 setup. I am going to be using it mainly for Games and some music. I am using Onboard sound with my EVGA X58 LE board. Reading these forumns I know to...

I have a pair of surround sound speakers that are hooked up to my computer through RCA jacks. The speakers are 5.1 but I only have the FL FL and the sub hooked up to my ONBOARD sound card. Yes it is onboard. My MoBo is an EVGA X58 LE if that matters. Anyway the speakers randomly either...

I am trying to pull a Flash video off a website for my work but am having trouble finding out how. I can see several software programs that claim do this but I skeptical on if they actually work or not. Anyone have any ideas on how I can do this? I tried looking at the Source Code and trying...

I have an issue with my home network and I am not sure if it is the router or just a simple firmware/driver update for my hardware. Basically I have 2 computers connected through wire to a WRT54G that I got 5 or 6 years ago. I don't use the wireless signal. I am an online gamer so I like to...

We have 2 computers at the office that display nothing when turned on. The onboard VGA port shows nothing, and an add on PCIe graphics card doesn't display anything either. The motherboard powers on but just doesn't display anything. There are no beeps to tell me what the problem is and I...

Anyone know of any free dvd decoders? I just got a new CD and it came with a DVD with footage of the making of the album but I can't watch it on my computer since I don't have a DVD Decoder. Anyone know of any free ones?

I went to Fry's a few days ago and purchased all the parts to build my Grandma a new computer. The one she has is old and crappy so it's time for an upgrade. After buying it and putting everything together, I am considering returning all the parts since after seeing some of the barebone kits...

I turned on my external HDD last night and noticed it wasn't being recognized by my computer. Either the HDD is bad or my External Enclosure failed. I am hoping it is the external enclosure. It is a cheap plastic case so I think this is the issue. I was looking at this and was wondering if...

Anyone ever heard of these things? Seem pretty sweet to me. No more dead controllers! Says it takes 5 HRs to charge it 90% which seems like quite a long time but still a very cool idea. http://www.usbcell.com/

This may be the wrong forum for this question so sorry if it is. I have the G9 mouse which is awesome but my current mouse pad seems to not work sometimes. It acts like a ball mouse does when you don't clean it for a long time. It skips and doesn't seem to track till I mess with it. It is...

I just found this deal at newegg for this WD VelociRaptor 150GB HDD. Here is the link. With a 15% off promo code , a $20 MIR, and 10% bing cashback the total comes out to $145.61 unless I did my math wrong. I have never used Bing cash back but it seems like a good deal to me. Should I...

I have a Kirsch 5.1 K3 speaker set that I used to use for my TV surround sound and I would like to hook them up to my computer because they are crappy and I am going to be purchasing a nicer set up for my TV. My Logitech computer speakers finally died and I don't want to go out and buy a whole...

I have am done tweaking my new rig and my speakers finally took a shit. I got them back in 2001 though so I would say it is time for a new set. I was looking into getting a set of 3.1 speakers but after looking around there are hardly any around. I would get a new set of 5.1 but I don't have...

I recently built my i7 rig and encountered a problem. When I go into Task Manger it states my Total Ram is 4 GB. When I go into System Properties, it shows 6 GB Installed RAM with only 3.99 usable. From what I have read this may be an issue with the voltages not being set to what the RAM is...

I am starting to get the funds together to purchase a new rig and I plan on doing an I7 build. I see posts about getting an i7 with C0/C1 stepping and this is where I have no idea what the difference is. I know it has to do with how easy it is to overclock but what is the other kind and should...

"When boxed copies of Windows 7 go on sale on October 22, Microsoft plans to charge $119 for Home Premium, $199 for Professional and $219 for Ultimate. The Home Premium upgrade is down $40 from the product's original price, although the Vista product had already gotten a price cut along the way...

I am a little confused as to what this means. I know they are letting people who purchase a Vista PC they will get a free upgrade to Windows 7 at some date that I don't remember. But all I get out of this is that they have to buy a PC as in already built PC from any vendor. My question is...
