Tried searching, couldn't find anything that was quite the same as my problem. Trying to put 4x1GB of ram in my motherboard. When I put in more than 2 sticks in any combination my motherboard will not post. When I turn it on, no video, no error beeps, sometimes it will shutdown and restart...

Specs are in signature. Was listening to music the other night when my computer randomly shut off. Pressed the power button, nothing happens. Unplug comp, take out CMOS battery, wait 30 secs. plug everything back in, press power button, nothing. So I try a different surge protector and a...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145486 I just ordered this tonight, seems like a good deal to me.

Alright, I guess this has been happening pretty much since I installed it about 3 days ago, but recently a little "balloon" has been popping up saying "A machine check error has occured, Please check event viewer for more details." So I go into the event viewer, and there has been a bunch of...

Everytime I click a link in AIM, it tries to open with Internet Explorer, but when IE comes up, it just sits there and does nothing. If I press the stop button, it gives me the old "res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdoclc.dll/navcancl.htm" in the address bar, and if I click refresh, nothing happens...

Alright so I kept getting this error while playing games on my old P4 rig. It would lock-up and reboot. Once in Windows I told it to report the error blah blah blah, so I could find out what it thought the problem was. It said that the motherboard BIOS might not be compatible with the CPU or...

Ok, so my friend is obsessed with RTW, but everytime he tries to play with the newest drivers, there are major video glitches. So he has to revert back to the 66.93 drivers. BUT, everytime he wants to play UT2004 or Vice City, he has to switch back to the latest WHQL'ed drivers from nVidia. He...

I am helping my friend upgrade to A64/PCI-e, and we decided he should get a new PSU to boot. While I was searching for a reliable, yet cheap PSU, I found the SP-400 from Antec on Newegg ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103935 ). It looks as though it may be the perfect...

Yesterday while I was playing some games, talking on aim, and doing the occasional web browsing, my computer went to a BSOD and then restarted. I was kind of pissed because this is a fairly new build, and I really couldn't think of why I would get a blue screen. So when Windows loads back up, a...

Ok So when it comes to partitioning the hdd, I think I'm doing something wrong. Everytime it comes to install the boot loader onto the hdd, it has an error of some sort. It either says there is no boot partition defined, has an error but doesnt say what it is, or just says it failed to install...

Alright I have Limewire 4.6 (newest version I believe?) and everytime I open it up, it seems to use a whole hell of a lot of my resources. But if I minimize it, it only takes about 1-2% cpu....So, why then does it take 98-100% while it is up and in focus?? I have gone thru about 4 different...

My friend has an ibook g4, and for one reason or another, he had someone put Debian on it. The GUI is corrupt for some reason, and he looked to me for help. I don't know how to fix it, so I suggested we just isntall Fedora Core3 on it because it would be simple. So I download the cd's off the...

So for the past couple of weeks I have been pinging 60-100 ms to a CS server in Euphreda WA that is on a Fiber optics network. I used to ping 0-20ms on there, and for any other NW US server for that matter, up until recently. I had the owned of the server do a IP trace to figure out what was...

Ok I found an old 40gig hdd lying around and decided I would put Fedora Core 3 on it. I downloaded the boot disk image off the site, and made a boot disk with it. During the setup process, when it asks where you want to get the rest of the files, I choose ftp, or http, and it says it needs...

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but.... Ok...So I just got done building my friends mom a new computer ( http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=865500 ) and I set it all up and configured that bios and did all that stuff. I went into the section of the bios where it lists the CPU...

I just got done picking out/ordering my friends mom's new computer. Mostly going to be used for Web Browsing/Word Processing, maybe the occasional "friend rig" when friends come over. All parts ordered off Newegg for a final price (including shipping) of $464.07. Specs are as follows: Case...

hahahahahahahaha...... while im saving up money for a bfg 6800gt oc, I have an old geforce2 mx400 (ram modules on my FX5200 went bad) installed in my brand new system. Just for $hits and giggles I decided to try out 3dmark03 ( would've done '05 but it required vid card to have 128mb RAM, this...

Here's the thing, I installed live update 3 for my MSI K8N neo plat. and I got the Core Center thing so I could monitor my temps and such. I opened up Core Center and it was pretty kool, I looked around at all the stuff and then I closed it. After one of my many crashes due to a semi-unknown...

Ok so I went and picked up my processor from Fed Ex yesterday (damn signature requirement) and installed it in my comp. I installed Windows and all of my drivers and programs and software, and then I decided I wanted to play some games. I was playing some Sven Co-op with my friend, and all the...

Well I searched (google and through the forums) and I couldn't find anything to help me solve my problem. I have a Labtec desk mic and today it randomly started getting major feedback and buzzing. It buzzes during online games, windows sound recorder, everything. I'm pretty sure I haven't...

Alright Im sure this has been discussed here, but I searched and couldnt find nething. Should I get the retail socket 754 3400+ 1mb cache or should I get the exact same thing but the Mobile for DTR notebooks... I plan on replacing the hsf on whichever one I get (even though there is no hsf to...

Well i decided to open up my mx510 to take the weight out to see if I liked it better. When i opened it up, there was a spring ( coiled with two ends sticking out, like that on a clothes pin) jus sitting inside of it. Is this spring used for something? Where does it go so I can fix it? how did...

Ok...some last minute, money-saving changes... I was going to get a Fortron 530W PSU from newegg which was about $75 ( - shipping) but I was looking around today and I found a Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W PSU with Black housing, Xaser Edition. The 12v rail is listed at 18A. Is this PSU...

Ok, My friend has an average/ok system, and he just got Doom 3 and a ATI Radeon 8500LE from his cousin.. I was wondering how in the heck he was going to play it with that card...But I asked him and he said it runs smooth. He says he has High detail, Dynamic Shadows off, 1024x768, no aa or af...

Im putting together a new comp all in the name of HL2/Doom3. Most of you have probably already done that, but hey, my cash flow isn't the greatest and I finally found a way to buy stuff off of newegg, so give me a break. Anyways I'm getting a AMD 64 3200+ and I was wondering if this was a good...

Alright I jus bought a Raidmax Scorpio 668W and I think I might have a problem. The case comes with a 420W PSU that has 6 molex connectors. Well I have 6 case fans, the front LEDs run off of a molex, and im waiting for my SATA HDD, CD-ROM, eVGA 6800nu, and im getting a AMD 64 3200+. My question...
