Hi, I've got an older P5N32-SLI Premium / X6800 system that has run perfectly for several years, but today I go to power it up and I get virtually nothing from it. As I pressed the power button on the case, its metallic coating gave me a small static shock as I pressed it, after an...

Hello, I would really like to only have to carry one charger for all my mobile devices on long trips and so far my Droid USB charger works for everything EXCEPT my iPod! It will wake up, if powered off, but the battery icon doesn't show the little lightning bolt when on and does not show...

I've just loaded Vista Ultimate 64 bit on my PC from XP64. So I've been going through all my games and apps to see how they behave in the new OS. My problem is in Crysis and Crysis Warhead, for some reason neither will detect my monitor's native resolution (1680x1050) with the in game...

Hey everyone, This is my 1st experience with Vista (Ultimate 64 bit) and gaming , and goes with out saying DX10 as well. So, just like the [H] article reports, according to FRAPS with the exact same settings DX10 does produce higher FPS than DX9. However, I also noticed that it creates a...

Hi all! I decided to endeavor in my 1st GPU overclock with my 8800GTX, so I tried some new settings for the BIOS, and reflashed it at 625/1450/2000. Now, I've run it in RTHDRIBL for hours and hours to watch temps and I don't really see anything above 80*C and typically it runs at about 75-77C...

Hi everyone, I'm selling what is basically the components from my old gaming rig which I had planned to build up another PC with but just never got around to it. Everything was in perfect working order when I took it apart and it has been carefully packaged in boxes ever since then. Prices are...

Hi everyone, I have a quick question regarding the little security advisor pop-up in the system tray. Every time I boot up it pops up to tell me I've changed the security settings, is there any way to disable it? Thanks!

SORRY, GONE! :)

I recently decided to put my BEFSR41 back into service to bump up speeds between computers over using only my airport express. It took me some time tinkering with the settings to make it all work just as I want it to but as of 2 days ago it was working perfectly. Today, I was having problems...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Samsung TX-S3082WH 30" CRT HDTV, and I'm using it with my also new Onkyo HT-S790 home theater speakers. However, after only 1 day of use I'm getting increasingly worse picture distortion in a couple different ways. First thing I noticed was that while...

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with my PC and as far as I can tell it has something to do with the USB 2.0 functionality, it started when I moved into my appt for college and I kind of fear something happened in transport. (although there is no visible damage to anything) Anyway, here are the...

Hi everyone, I need money bad so I have to sell some of my PC stuff I don't use any more. Prices are without shipping, and are negotiable. The best way to contact me is via e-mail [email protected] but PMs will work as well, just not as quick of a responce. Antec TP 430 watt PSU $35 SOLD...

Hi all, I was ecited as ever to get my new PSU installed today (the Antec TruePower 2.0 550) and see if it solved any of my stability problems from my slowly dieing old Antec. But I go to install it, get it all hooked up and everthing. Then I hit the switch on the back of the PSU and the lights...

Hey guys, for christmas I got CoD 2 and for several hours of play time it worked flawlessly. And then it started acting very classic CoD today. It kept crashing at completely random times, it just locks up my whole system and I get this terrible high pitched whine from my speakers. (I tried like...

Hey guys, Happy holidays to everyone! I finally own a sound system worth talking about, my new X-Fi platinum and Klipsch pro media 5.1! Now I have a question on the dual microphone inputs on the X-fi. One of them will need to be used for my cheap old ATi TV wonder VE. While the other I'd...

Hey all, recently one fan in my Antec TruePower 430W died on me and I don't have any money now or in the future for a new one. So I was wondering if there is any special fan I need to get to work in it or not, or just any 80mm (perhaps with some LEDs to spice it up a bit) fan will work. I do...

Hey guys, I finally decided I'd give NFS:U2 another shot so I've been playing it like all afternoon(since about 1:00PM ET), and in the past half hour once it locked up and then my computer randomly rebooted while I was driving. So while it was rebooting I went to the BIOS and checked the system...

Hey guys, havn't posted in a good bit but I was hoping some network guys could help me out. I have my cable modem and only one computer hooked up to it through USB. Now, normally its an old Dell with USB 1.1 integrated into the motherboard and it'll run at 360kb/s solidly. However, that computer...

Hey guys, I havn't posted here in a while but I really can't seem to find a keyboard that I like. I was thinking to try and get a full size/layout keyboard that has laptop keys/keystrokes on all keys. As simple as possible is best (no extra crap like function keys (ESPECIALLY F-lock)) but if...

Hey guysm I open my in box this morning and I found this CES things from Crutchfield in there, so I'm browsing through the TV parts and I saw this little preview of flat-panel technology that blew me away, and I'm hoping in the future we see computer monitors with this implemented in them...

hey guys, reciently I tried playing NFS:U 2 again and every time no matter what, the splash screen will appear, it will switch to the loading screen for like .5 seconds and then it will start to show the "EA Games" circle logo and the send me right to my desktop, no errors, no nothing. While a...

hey guys, like the title says I'm about to reformat my machine and try a fresh install of SP2 and see how it goes. Right now I'm finding all my game save files and backing them up to a DVD along with all my other apps, but for a couple of them I can't find where they store the save games. One is...

Hey guys, reciently I have been working on a co-worker's computer that was all screwed up and has win 2k on it, incidentally my 1st real experiance with it since I did reformat and start from scratch... and I do like it. Now I was wondering from a more technical aspect which one out of the two...

hey guys, I got NFS:U 2 for christmas this year and I think that all be it ricy, its a fun game if you don't have to actually look at the cars in it all body kitted up. Anyway, I really really can't stand the drift game in it. I was wondering if anyone knows any way to completely bypass the...

Hey guys, I havn't changed my theme in a while and I figured I might like to try the origional XP style again. So when I went to do it something (I think my download manager) crashed XP and I had to do a hard reboot. When I get back on it is kind of a half- translated conversion between classic...

Hey guys, I think I may have said this before but, dial-up sucks. Especially when your ISP clearly can't handle the load they've signed up, which in my opinion is rediculous.I had good gaming plans for my day off on thanksgiving, lucky me, my ISP kicked me like every 3 minutes! So once again...

So, I told a guy at my work I would do a memory upgrade on this HP Pavillion he has and help the foolish person not have so much spyware and virii. So I crack the case and find two NEC RD DIMMs, uh oh, I don't know anything about RD ram. the sticks that were in there are 64MB/4d @ 600-53. Now I...

Hey guys, I just bought a 6800 yesterday and I didn't know about anyone 'unlocking' it until just now adding the extra 4 pipelines that the GTs and Ultras have. Now, I have a BFG 6800 OC and I was wondering if someone could tell me what settings I need to adjust in rivatuner to see if I can...

(Picture should be up within the next day or so, I'm downloading FFXI patches on 28k dial up, it was hard enough to post this much less upload photos. Sorry.) Hi, I'm selling my GameCube and all the games I own for it as a package, all the disks, controllers and consol itself are in like-new...

Hey guys, for the past while my mouse has been driving me crazy. And though I am going through Logitech also to try and find the problem I was wondering if any of you have ever seen this problem before? I have tried many different mouse surfaces, paper, desk, Xtrac Pro HS pad, generic mouse pad...

hey guys, I'm condensing this thread into a couple now, this is an iPod mini. Thanks in advance anyone who replies! -Whenever I enable any EQ mode that boosts low frequency sounds I get a lot of distortion in the bass notes. (I listen to a lot of rap so this is unbearable) Volume has no...
