I have an old system where the motherboard went and I'm looking for a working replacement.... if you could help me for a reasonable price I'd be more then happy. PM Me if you are inquiring, because I may not check this thread. :o

I'm going to be building a new system. It will have about 6 hdd's that I want to access from another computer. I dont know if I need a network pci card or if the lan port on the motherboard will connect them for me. I would also like to play games on this PC, so I have to use windows 7...

I have a gigabyte ga-ep45-ud3r motherboard with windows vista 64 bit ultimate installed. I used to be able to get into bios, I was messing around with some of the boot settings that are located when you right click the power button > properties. I might have messed something up, but I'm not...

I'm looking for a cheap-ish card that will run my old system, which will house music and movies... It's monitor is going to be a TV. I've never done this before so I'm wondering how its done and the downsides to doing it. My TV has HDMI inputs. I'm guessing this would be the cleanest way...

I think the next step is to benchmark the shit out of my system. Its been operating for a few weeks but alt tabbing inbetween games takes forever, and other issues like that. I built this system for gaming but its so slow with the 2 games that I currently have installed. (Far cry 2, TF2)...

I just purchased and put together a new system and installed vista on it. First time vista user. Heres the problem: I usually disconnect my data harddrives when messing with the harddrive that my OS is on, and only install games and other misc stuff that i dont care about losing to this...

Hey guys, I'm currently on my first Intel build ever. I'm having quite the time putting it together tho, maybe one of you can shed some light on the situation. I'll try and provide as much info as possible. I purchased my system in stages, and tried putting it together in stages, when I...

It's still in the mail. I did a fair amount of research plus my friend IRL helped me make the decision. I'm only going to be using one graphic card.... how well will this board work with just one graphic card? I'm thinking about just going with one nvidia gtx 260, and not overclocking...

Installed fresh version of windows xp home. Updated wireless adapter card drivers. I actually had the computer on the internet long enough to do 1 series of windows updates. Rebooted computer. Failure to connect again. Wireless card is a d-link wda-2320. The card shows I'm connected...

I have a ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe 939 which is currently running 4 hard drives. One of those hard drives is a 36gb raptor with windows and my games on it. I just purchased another raptor (150gb), and I would like to put games and other programs on this hard drive, and just keep windows on my...

all over my graphix card. is this bad? its making noise

I want to OC the rig in my sig... thanks.

My system specs are in my sig. I usually install windows/games/programs to my 36gb and have everything else (media, downloads, etc...) on my 250gb backup. I just acquired a 500gb and another 250gb. Games/Windows on same 36gb? Windows only on a partition on the drive? Diff. drive?

If I were to be throwing 400 dollars into an upgrade, what part of my current system should I replace? Info in sig below. I like to game. I like to have small programs running when I game. Currently my system does that but I could have better graphic settings in game (higher resolution...

But the card only has the following output connectors: 2x DVI and HDTV/VIVO. I just got an s-video cable thinking I could directly imput it into my card, but no luck. How do I hook up a TV to my computer to act as another monitor (for watching movies when I choose)

Install went smoothly. Now running xp SP1 on an A8N- SLI Deluxe (asus). When I go to cmd > ipconfig all it says is "Windows IP Configuration"... thats it! I tried to install modem drivers but it said it wouldnt install to my processor type (I'm 75 percent sure I downloaded the 64 bit...

I have a PS; I have the motherboard plug jumped at pins 14/17... But I still cant get it to supply fans with energy.... Is there any other plugs I need to jump besites the above said, to get power to my fans?

Problem: - Pictures come through missing half of their color/scrambled when surfing the web. This happens randomly and the best I can recall, only on the internet... not from images on my HDD. - Here's a screenshot: Things I've tried - I just updated my Nvidia drivers, didn't work...

Preferably from BFG? I was unable to find any...

I just got my logitech g5 mouse today, installed the drivers, plugged it in and it doesn't work. It initally wasn't lighting up, but now it has the lights on, but it doesn't move the cursor. Every time I reboot the damn "Welcome to the found new hardware wizard" pops up, in three different...

I have an asus a8n s939 mobo and s754 asus k8n. Are the plastic heat sink retainer pieces around the cpu socket the same size? I want to put my stock s939 fan that came with my core onto the 754 board. Think this will work?

My WD2500JD (Western Digital 250gb SATA) is acting strange. On very large folders it will take about 30 seconds to open, if it doesn't crash. I'm not sure if it's because the HDD is too full and needs a defrag session, or if its because the drive is corrupt. I also have some bad (corrupt)...

"Would you like to activate it now?" [Yes] - Nothing happens. This is what I've been encountering today on startup. I registered windows, so I don't think it's windows itself... plus it never prompts me when the computer is running, just as soon as windows loads, before it shows me the...

I'm building it for a friend - He wants a mid-range gaming system. Budget is $1,200. I'm mostly concerned with the ram. I just picked this stuff based on the name, and the fact that it's pc 3200; he's not going to be overclocking, so I presume that anything over pc 3200 would be wasted...

I enjoy how if something goes wrong with my computer, I can quickly whipe my C:/ drive and loose hardly any data, because I save all of it on another HDD. I understand that if this were to happen, and my main media HDDs were set up in RAID 0, then all of the data on both of those disks would...

I know in a normal (Unmodded) ATX case the air is supposed to come in the bottom, in the front and leaves up through the top, in teh back. This is so the cool air hits, and cools, the components of the system that run cooler than the CPU, such as the RAM and Chipset. I'm going to be modding...

I just got off of my fourth call tonight with netgear. I must say, all of the techies were pretty knowledgable, except #3, who was a complete noob and got all arrogant and happy with himself when he thought he solved the problem, only to be owned five minutes later, when a different (the...

My sister is going to be getting a new computer for christmas from Tigerdirect.com and I cannot decide whether I should go with an Athlon XP based Acer or an AMD 64bit based Toshiba or eMachines. I'm only second guessing the 32 bit processor because of it's age and the upcoming windows...

MX4000? She dosent play games... so no high end video card is needed. Basically, I want a video card that can produce a good image to a tv through s-video cable and also to a monitor, lcd or crt... up to 19".

I want a reliable, stable mobo that I can overclock with. I would also like 4x sata connectors, but the only boards that I see that have this are the DFI and SOYO, and I'm afraid to purchase both of these. I'm afraid to go the DFI route because I'm afraid of the BIOS and stuff - I'm pretty...

Is this mouse good enough to use in any FPS's?

I have an Antec 1080 and I hate the harddrive cages. I want to remove the top shelf and put in some type of rails to mount HDD's to. Any idea of where I would get the new pieces of metal to mount my HDD's to? Any idea how I would attach the new metal rails or racks to the existing metal...

Set up a wireless network for my personal use only. I want to be able to have my lappy wirelessly connect to this network. I want my lappy to be able to have full access to the mutiple HDD's on my PC. A printer and scanner is going to be hooked up to my PC, I would like to be able to...
