Looking for a good gaming laptop in the 1k range. So I have been out of the PC building and gaming scene for quite a while now. I used to build my own PC rigs for myself, friends, family, etc. However, years ago I chose an off the grid lifestyle, so a laptop is a little more ideal for me. I...

Ok so I am totally new to the G15 keyboard. I just picked one up today. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for information on this keyboard and what it can do. For instance, there is a little switch near the screen that I have no idea what it is for. I mostly play...

I have a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P Rev 1.1 motherboard that I am currently having trouble with. Yesterday, I turned my PC off to move it to the other side of the room. All I did was disconnect the cables and carefully moved my tower and peripherals, and reconnected them. Now my PC will not power...

I was wondering. I have been having some issues with my ISP lately. They seem to be paying too much attention to me and what I'm doing on my computer. First they send me messages notifying me of increased uploading from my ip address and wanted to "make sure I didn't have a virus" .... Then, a...

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what would be the best and safest GPU Clock and Memory Clock settings in the ATI Overdrive would be? I just set up fan speed profiles so it's running at about 47c right now. Should I use the auto-tune or not?

Ok so I haven't installed a new SATA hard drive in a while and I'm having a brain fart. I have a new 500gig SATA hard drive that I'm trying to install under VISTA 64 and I can't get the computer to recognize it. I forgot what I have to do? I checked that it's being recognized in the BIOS and...

I have a problem. I am currently trying to install my new vid card I got from a friend. It's not the best but my nVidia card took a dump and I'm fed up with nVidia so I'm going back to ATI.. Here's my problem. I'm running Vista 64 bit edition, switching from a GeForce 7 series vid card...

For some time now I've been having an issue with my vid card. I have a GeForce 7800 GT made by EVGA that keeps messing up. What happens is if I'm playing a game, it will freeze up for a few seconds, and then start working again. Obviously this is a very annoying problem, especially when playing...

Hey guys. I have a huge problem with my gaming rig right now. I can't get my PC to start. It started yesterday for no reason apparently. When I restarted my computer, instead of showing the BIOS boot-up screen like normal, it says word for word: Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0 Copyright (c) 2000...

I recently had my Seagate Baracuda 120gig hard drive take a crap on me. The OS still recognizes it in the computer window but I can't open it. It's also slowing down my whole PC. At the moment it's disconnected. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a good hard drive repair program that...

For some odd reason I can't install Vista in x64 edition. When I try to install it by booting from the DVD it says I need to install from within windows. However, it says in order to install x64 edition of Vista I need to install from the DVD.. Wtf? How do I go about installing Vista in x64?? I...

I installed Vista on a seperate hard drive. Now it doesn't show up in XP and I want to reformat the drive with Vista on it and just keep running XP.. Any ideas how to get the Vista HD to show up in XP? And how to format the Vista drive if I can't get it to show up? Thanks in advance

I got the Vista beta, put it on DVD and installed it on a spare hard drive.. Wierd thing is, it won't boot Vista without the DVD in the drive.. Even wierder, now, when I reconnected my XP drive (vista drive disconnected as well), I get the same problem. It won't boot without the Vista DVD...

I was thinking about somehow incorporating my Dell 20.1" widescreen *inside* my LianLi PC-75 full tower case.. The case is plenty big enough to fit it width and height but depth is an issue. I was wondering if anyone has ever done this before with these specific items and how it was done? I...

Yeah so I just recently re-wired my pc and somehow my SATA Raptor and my DVD burner traded drive letters.. Used to be hard drive E and dvd drive G, now it's the opposite.. I can't seem to remember how to change them back. Any tips? I don't think I can play any games right now either cuz the...

So I've been out of the loop lately on the new dual core processors.. Someone informed me the other day that Intel's Core 2 processors mop the floor with anything AMD has to offer.. I know AMD has Dual Core processors also, so, is this true?

So my Gigabyte Technologies 6800 Ultra took a dump. I bought it brand new a little over a year ago, and something went wrong with it, I'm not sure.. Games like COD2 and HL2 started messing up graphically.. So my friend loaned me his 7800 GT which has never even been used. I was just wondering...

I have a PC I built for myself that I am trying to sell before I leave for Basic in the Army, since I'm not going to need it anymore. Pretty much everything is still under warranty, however I'm not sure if they honor it to third parties. The rig - (2) Dell 2005FPW UltraSharp 20"...

My 80 gig Western Digital SATA drive is being a bastard. It accesses files very slowly and sometimes not at all.. It used to work fine but now it's just being slow..

So I'm having lots of issues.. Can't connect to the internet although WInXP says my network connection is working properly, and the LEDs on the network port show that it is connected and operating at 100mbps. I open IE and it can't connect.. It's not actually connecting to the internet. I'm...

SO I'm wondering WTF is up with Propellerhead Software.. For being such a huge name with possibly the best software synthesizer programs out there, you'd think they'd conduct their business a little better.. I placed an order for Reason 3.0 on the 5th of this month, didn't get a confirmation...

Ok so this new rig I'm building I figure needs to last 1 year and give me great performance in games such as WoW, EQ2, Doom 3, UT2006 (when it comes out).. Should I go with the Gigabyte GeForce 6800 Ultra PCI-E for $519 @ zipzoomfly.com or should I go with an ASUS Extreme AX850XTPE/2DHTV...

My friend has an Intel Serverboard model L440GX+ with two 1 gig P3 processors.. For some reason it's only recognizing one processor.. Anyone know why this may be? He's also running Windows XP Pro and has 1 gig of Ram.

Anyone have these? What do you think? Is it worth the 420 bucks at newegg for these speakers or should I just stick with a 5.1 system? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=36-116-142&depa=0 thanks

Ok so I've got this 21" HP P1110 flat screen CRT.. The other day I noticed these little fuzzy vertical lines all over the screen.. I noticed I had recently installed new drivers on my ATI Radeon and it set my refresh rate to 60 hz.. So, I upped it to 180 hz and it "kind of" fixed it. It's better...

I'm a fan of AMD myself but are Intel's processors better? Faster?

Friend of mine said his PC is only detecting one processor.. I guess it's a P3 dual processor setup.. Never worked with a dual cpu machine before, any suggestions? -tired of playing local computer tech.
