I did the heat gun fix on my motherboard a total of four times. Three myself and paid someone the first time. Each time temporary, including now. I told myself after it goes again, I wouldn't go through the effort of disassembling the laptop to temp-fix the motherboard and that I would buy a...

I have an older PIII pc that has been running the same xp installation without needing to reinstall for several years now. I am getting kind of nervous that the hard drive might give out on me and I will need to have to go through the horrors of losing years of software installation and...

I have two hard drives. One contains my xp install, the other contains the boot files, NTLDR, boot.ini and some other files I assume go along with them. What I want to do is move them over to the hard drive with the OS install so I can have only one hard drive running. I don't remember how...

So my problem is I wanted to clean out the dust from a computer. I unscrewed the fan, took off the brackets holding down the heatsink, pulled on it and out came both the cpu and the heatsink. The stuff on the cpu isn't thermal compound, looks like some type of adhesive, so I can't put the cpu...

I've been wanting to cut back on my electricity consumption at my desk. I figure this would help, although I wont have it under my monitor, but instead screwed onto the bottom of my desk so the switches are facing out. This looks very old school, but it's what I'm looking for...

I purchased a gateway mp8708 from a friend recently knowing it had some hardware problems. The problem that has me scratching my head is the issue that the computer can run off the power adapter, but unplug it and leave it to run off the battery, it goes dead. So I don't know if it's the...

I'm using a slow computer at the moment, so when I start it up I want it to boot up and log in to windows but at the same time I want it to be password protected. Let me rephrase that, I want the computer to load up my stuff in the background while the password prompt exists. Maybe it's...

I have a working geforce 4, but with a broken fan. I don't need a new card at the moment, so I would like to be able to repair this one. If anyone has a broken/non-working card that is taking up space and you would like to get it off your hands, send me a pm and let me know a price for...

I posted this previously, but with the database outage, I never got to see if I received any replies. A family member who works in a hospital is looking for a service that will both send text messages to a patients phone and the patients would be able to reply with the messages appearing on the...

I'm looking to take a spare lcd and be able to use it to watch some tv and hook up my consoles to, both new generation and old, so I'll be requiring a multitude of inputs. Does anyone have any first hand experience with any of these boxes out there? Something like this, except that this is a...

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to start a new thread for something as trivial as a ps2 to usb adapter since search isn't working at the moment. Basically, I need two or three and see no reason to order a brand new one from hong kong if your used one works, so why not reuse, save the planet...

I am stuck with a 'grade assignment' problem for school. What I wanted to do was send the numeral grade to a subroutine and have it return a letter grade, but I can not get it to work. I am getting a loss of precision error when I try to compile. The code here is a simplified version of...

I've been reading my books for some time now and while I've been picking up knowledge here and there, I find it very difficult to keep on going since I don't know how to apply what I'm learning. What I basically need is something to work on, even if I don't (which I don't) have the skill at...

I havent played a console or pc game in months and I think it's eating away at me. I've been wanting to play shenmue II for a while and I think the time has come. The question is, do I play it on the xbox or the Dreamcast. I played the original shenmue that was in English, and although the...

I'm looking for info on how the unreal engine came to be. I briefly read somewhere that a guy worked on it for years in his basement programming. If anyone has any links of articles about who programmed it, please do share. Thanks.

That's basically my main question and problem. This stuff is accumulating and I don't know what to do with it. I won't throw it out cause I just don't like the idea of throwing out stuff I know can and should get recycled. Do you guys have recycle drop zones for you stuff? I'm not talking...

I've had this game in mind for years since I've seen someone at a game store playing it, but have never come across any info of it since I believe it was only released in Japan. It was a view of Earth that you can manipulate by being able to rotate it, and are able to basically launch missles...

I've been trying for many years to learn programming, but only recently, past month or so have I given it a really big push to try and learn. What I think I've finally realized though is that once I learn a language thoroughly enough, I may have to learn only a fraction of others. For...
