So I just picked up a nice laptop on sale at Microcenter today and thought I would share. It looks like this is an In Store Only (ISO) deal til 05/05/2019. Dallas store was reporting 10 units yesterday. PowerSpec 1520 (MicroCenter Store Brand is a re-badged CLEVO on the PB50EF-G system board...

I recently bought 2x 1.5TB Western Digital hard drives Model #WDBAAY0015HNC-NRSN retail boxed from the Dallas Microcenter. Both boxes had a white sticker on the bottom of the box identifying the model # of the drive and the serial # which matched the # found on the physical hard drive inside...

Well I have an older install of WinXP (sp3) which no longer boots on my laptop. Basically what happens is the computer posts, the HDD MBR tries to load the OS, and I get a blinking cursor (but this is not a command line). This boot problem started after my laptop had a hard lock / crash...

First off, this will be a complete upgrade from an old Athlon XP system (so I have to buy everything). Anyone have an opinion on how useful the Asus 8+1 motherboard power solution for the AM3 chips really is (I will be using a PC P&C Silencer 750W for PSU)? I've been trying to narrow my...

I was looking for the PSU buying guide / FAQ and Bad PSU Listing that has been here for a rather long time as a sticky post, and I can no longer find it. I checked other threads in the PSU section for someone else asking about the now missing sticky, but I have found none. So, was that FAQ...

Alrighty, I'm trying to find out if anyone has seen this problem before (especially with the MSI boards). Just like the title says, the system was working well without issue for 7 months or so and has suddenly shutoff and will not power on at all. First off, here are the specs: MSI K8N Neo...

Thank you to everyone who offered different deals to me on processors and motheboards. I have now purchased a combo deal from a Forum Member, and do not need anymore of the below items. Hey I was wondering if anyone around here has one of these laying around in their house/closet just...

I checked back a few pages in this forum, and didn't really see anything addressing sound cards that are designed with home studio recording in mind (no gaming required for this case). I have come across a few reviews at digit-life and to their credit, they appear to be doing a great job in...

Hey all, I've been seeing a bunch of posts with people concerned that AMD's 90 micron 64bit processors will be as hot or hotter than the prescotts, and to be honest I'm wondering why they think that. I know in a couple weeks or so there will be a definitive answer on this, but my reasoning for...

This isn't as simple as you think, please read it all before just saying a KVM will work Ok this may sound really simple and straightforward as what I'm looking to do is run 2~3 computer in a very specific way from a single Keyboard simultaneously. Effectively how this will work (don't...

Hey everyone, I didn't see this deal on the front page, so I decided to post it. This 650W PSU is selling for only $30, which is surprising because its Specs look like this: 115V ~ 10A/60 Hz 230V ~ 6A/50 Hz +5V at 36A +12V at 34A +3.3V at 36A -5V at 1A -12V at 1A +5VSB at 2A...

Well, I got a 2600XP-M 45W and a DFI NFII Ultra Infinity recently in order to pull a ~2.6ghz clock with the 1gig BH-5 Corsair ram I've had all this time. Things were going just fine, as I was able to hit 2.4ghz @ 200mhz FSB immediately after starting the system for the first time @1.65 volts on...

Hey all, I just got Doom3. Installed it on the PC and all is well, until I goto actually play the game. Instead of loading, the game aborts out with the following error : Cannot Locate Doom 3 Disk 1 CD/DVD emulation software has been detected. Please disable all CD/DVD emulation...

Hey everyone, I'm interested in the Asus K8n-e Deluxe mainly for its feature set. First of all, I won't be overclocking (its going into a system for a girl in college who isn't a hardware guru, so no need to play with overclocking). From reading the review at OC-Workbench, the only thing that...

If memory serves me, this is usually 40~50$ for the heatsink. SVC has it on sale /URL=http://www.svc.com/thslsoco.html]here[/URL] for 19.99

Ok, I have a MS-6570 K7N2 (non -L) motherboard. Heres what happened: I just recieved this from another guy on forums. Booted it up and everything seemed alright but before I bothered installing an OS or anything, I decided to flash the bios to the latest version. So I look up online to see what...

I swear I read about something in Windows XP that supported clearing all detected devices and redetecting everything again. I need to do this because I'm changing the motherboard on this computer system, so I need Windows to have all detected devices reset so it can detect the new motheboard...
