Hopefully I can explain this well enough. I use a program that can be run via shortcut with different switches to perform certain action. I run it using a /c switch which allows me to run custom configuration files. If I open the program via a shortcut then everything is great but if I double...

Today, I purchased the recently released controller pack (Controller + 4 arcade games) and have a question about the games. It comes with Lumines, Geometry Wars 2 and Bomberman on a disc and a code to download Ms Pac Man. Seemingly you cannot install the games on the disc onto your hard...

Hello everyone, Saturday, I experienced something that I have never run into before. I was testing an overclock and got a blue screen in Windows. So, I shut off my comp, reset the CMOS and fired the computer back up. Upon doing so, the mobo wouldn't recognize any of my hard drives. So after...

I redently did a fresh install of win 2000 onto a machine and it worked great for a day. Later I turned the machine on and it wouldn't boot into 2000. It goes through the post, then the screen turns black with nothing on it but a white blinking cursor at the very top. This blinks a few times...

Yesterday, I picked up a Raptor, went home and hooked it up to an old mobo of mine (a P4M800PRO-M (V1.0) ); the mobo does one of two things, it either doesn't recognize it at all or it recognizes it incorrectly. Am I just in need of a BIOS update? And also, can the BIOS incorrectly detecting...

On October 27th, I bought a 360. Today, 2 months and 2 days later, I made a call to MS about a non-functional 360. Yippee! So, does anyone know how long they usually take to repair a 360? Also, who pays shipping, me or them?

In the AMD forum there are currentlt to threads raging wildly, one about hating Circuit City,and one about Monarch. Are these appropriate for that forum as they have nothing to with AMD processors at all other than that is the item that happened to be purchased?

I just got a black windowed MicroFly in the mail today to replace my X-QPack and let me say, so far I am really unimpressed; particularly by two very big problems (IMO). First, my wireless card has to be unscrewed or else it doesn't make contact with the PCI slot correctly and won't work. And...

Hi everyone, For years now, I've drooled over the Wacom Cintiq: http://www.wacom.com/lcdtablets/index_17SX.cfm but its cost is a bit prohibitive for me so I was thinking, could a touchscreen LCD be used (like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824016047 ) in a...

Howdy everyone, My computer was having some stability problems so I decided to reinstall XP since it has been awhile since I did it last but now I am having the strangest problem. Before I did the reinstall I decided to check each of my components so I could replace anything that may need...

Hey guys, last weekend I bought a DFI UT 250gb and a sempron 2800+ to mess around with. I'm using an Antec TruePower 430 for the power supply but the bios reads the 12V line at 11.08 +/- .05. My last mobo read it around 12.05 +/- .05. Does this mobo have a known issue with the voltage sensor...

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of buying a chaintech vnf3-250 to tinker around with but I've heard that certain (maybe all?) NF3 250 boards have trouble running double sided ram. Can anyone confirm this? The ram I want to use is in my sig, can anyone confirm if it'll work for me? Here's a...

Howdy everyone, I'm doing research for a new rig and need some advice on vid cards. First, right off the bat, I don't game at all. I use my computer mainly for the creation of high end corporate presentations (main apps used are Powerpoint, Photoshop, Flash and Lightwave 3d). My current...

Hi everyone, Everything that I have read indicates that Socket A proc run best when the FSB and RAM are run at the same speed. If I were to buy say DDR500 ram and was running my proc at 200MHz FSB, would it be faster then to set up a 5:4 ratio and run the RAM at DDR400 speeds or would it run...
