It's been 10 years since I built my first computer, inside an Antec full tower case. In the last decade, I've replaced the hardware in it 3 times. It has survived multiple cross country trips, not to mention a mean lady named Katrina barely missing it with a giant pecan tree. And it still...
According to someone at 2cpu forums, ATX 2.X PSU's don't have a -5V line, so nevermind on that. (I know next to nothing about power supplies (obviously)). So, if there's nothing _wrong_ with it, what could be causing my problem. Or, to start over again, is there any reason that my system...
The Antec 420Watt PSU I was using in my dually system died, so i needed a replacement. After reading around, I was really impressed by the Hiper Type-R 580W. (PSU fried friday night, ordered new PSU saturday afternoon, had it installed tuesday afternoon. God I love Newegg) Anyway, got it in...
I'm getting major static during certain hard drive activity. It's most noticeable when i'm using quickpar to check files I've downloaded. When I'm listening to mp3s, I get some pops, every now and then, but as soon as quickpar starts checking, I get major static, it almost sounds like the song...
I uninstalled from Device Manager, and when i restarted, it's already been reinstalled. I still can't browse a dvd.
In XP, is there any better way to uninstall/reinstall hardware?
Specs:
Windows XP Pro SP2
NEC 3520A Burner
Soyo K7V Dragon+ Motherboard
Anything else that would...
I'm not sure when the problem started, but I went to look at a dvd a few months ago, but when tried to open it in My Computer, I got no response. No errors, no system hanging, just nothing.
I can put a movie dvd in, and powerdvd will recognize it and play it. If there's any kind of autoplay...
Thanks guys, guess I'll wait til I get paid at the end of the month and go ahead & get a new board. Any recomendations?
Looking around newegg, the one that's really caught my eye is the epox 8rda3+ pro
but I haven't seen anything, other than the newegg user reviews, that covers that...
I opened up my case the other day to re-install a dvd drive, and when I finished I took a quick look around, and dammit if I don't have a whole line of leaking caps, right by the cpu socket.
I know I'm gonna have to replace the mobo, but I'm wondering how long I might have. I haven't had any...
I'm looking for the best, preferably free, software for planning homes. I had a tree come through my bedroom, courtesy of Katrina, and now that we're getting close to being able to rebuild, i'd like a way to visualize various ideas. What I've always done before is use Bryce to model...
For vcd's, just about any player i've ever tried works. It would probably be easiest to just have the vcd's as mpeg files; as for svcds, as long as you have mpeg2 codecs installed, you should be able to do the same. I've used media player classic, the core media player, and winamp, but I think...
