All of a sudden I am getting this message when trying to play Morrowind. I am running Windows XP with all the updates and service packs. Microsoft has a workaround for this, which includes renaming Amdfix.sys (not found on my PC) and tweaking the Creative Audigy sound card (which I don't have...

And here is the question - my current drive is an older IDE. The SATA is a SATA 2, which my motherboard supports.Would I notice a big difference if I put WinXP on the SATA, and use the old drive for the paging file? I would rather leave the OS on the IDE drive and not have to reinstall in on...

I am going to be ordering a new hard drive this Friday, either the 500Gb SATA barracuda or the 320Gb. My current drive is a 36 Gb IDE that I pirated from my old dell. Anyway, what I want to do is make the SATA drive my primary drive, with the OS. From what I have read here, the way to go...

I'm having a strange problem - when I have the drivers for my video card installed, the test (when using MS word for example) ripples in the upper left hand corner. Can this be a problem with too much power being sent through the card?

For some reason, the CD/DVD drive I have is not detecting blank disks in Windows. I've tried several different disc brands, but to no avail. I did have it reading them at one point after updating the firmware, but after rebooting it wouldn't read them again. Now I can't even uninstall the...

Okay, I bought a new ATI card (specs in my sig) and I have 2 issues with it. When booting up, the initial Gigabyte screen is tinged in shades of Blue. When going to websites that have streaming video, they are in shades of blue. The computer itself is a new build. I can play mpgs and DVDs...

Not sure why this is happening - this is a new build, with a Gigabyte MB. The drivers for the MB have already been installed. However, I needed to install new drivers for my DVD lightscribe in order for it to be able to write, and also printer drivers for the printer to be recogized. After...

Okay - this is a new build. What is happening when the drivers are installed for the video card, the screen will start to blank out, and residual junk will start accumulating. Eventually, the monitor will completely black out. With the drivers removed, everything is fine. The card is a PCI...

I just ordered 2 GB of this from NewEgg for a new build, and after reading all of the customer comments I am wishing I selected a different (more expensive ) brand. It seems some of them have been shipped faulty. Wondering if anyone here has experience with it. :confused:

I'm about ready to start ordering the components for my new system. I'm having the hardest time trying to decide what case to get. I am leaning towards a Thermaltake brand, in the 90.00 range. My question for the more experienced builders here, is there a brand you definitely would not...

From searching the threads, I have recieved some conflicting info about swapping Dell 8100 hardware into a new case. My goal is eventually to have all new hardware, but I would like to use my current stock Dell motherboard (along with the RDRAM) and Radeon AGP video card for the time being. The...
