is there anyway to do so within windows? i have a gigabyte ga-p35c-ds3r (i believe...). i'd rather not open up the case if possible. also, in a separate but potentially related note, i just reformatted and loaded windows 7. my audio card (audigy 2zs) is not recognized by windows, as far...

So I removed a storage hard drive from my computer to place in an external enclosure. While doing this I unplugged and then replugged in my primary hard drive. Now whenever I boot I receive an "error loading OS" message after my system POSTs. Both the primary and a second storage HDD are...

My 1/8" jack on my 5g iPod is shot. According to their website, apple is going to charge me $135 to replace it, which seems ridiculous. Does anyone know of somewhere else I could take the iPod to get the headphone jack replaced, or of an online DIY guide? It seems like a relatively simple...

Okay so I left my old faithful pc in my mom's care when I left fool school this fall. After years of faithful, stable service it suddenly started having magical problems. First it stopped turning off properly, and would only turn off by cutting the power (turning off the PSU from the button on...

my 1/8" audio jack on my laptop is cracked, so my headphone cords dont stay stable and the connection is spotty. where should i take this to get it replaced? can i do it myself? should i call dell, or just go to a local audio store?

So, I have a somewhat strange question: what is an approximate price ratio for speakers to receiver? For example, lets say I have a $200 receiver. About how much should a matching pair of stereo speakers cost? Obviously features, deals on prices, brand names, blah blah make this a very...

I have a pair of Klipsch F-2s and a pair of F-1s which I am hoping to use as front and rear speakers for a 5.1 setup, respectively. I need a receiver to power this, as well as a center and sub. Recommendations? I am hoping to do this as cheap as possible w/o underutilizing the speakers, as it...

i just installed an acer p191w and set the resolution to 1440x900 (its native). for some reason my desktop is running off of the screen, so that i have to move my mouse to see that area. this is connected to a 6800 using the DVI cable.

SSIA I guess. I'm considering the Antec TP3-550, as it is on sale when bought with the P180B I'm about to buy. Can this thing handle something along these lines: E4400 (moderate OC) 8800GTS 320 2gig ram 3 HDDs 2 opticals

My old computer (in sig) is on its last legs and I'm finally breaking down for a (mostly) new build. However, I've been out of the loop for a while and am not sure what my best options are. Heres what I'm thinking Reuse: HDDs (600GB of mixed IDE and SATA) Opticals (DVD drive and DVD burner)...

i have an oldish (15 yrs) pair of snell acoustic front speakers that i am trying to build a modern 5.1 setup around (they're fantastic - no desire to replace them). can anyone share some thoughts on this potential setup Denon AVR-4306 receiver Polk LSiC center Polk LSiFX surrounds...

I just installed a Seagate 7200.10 320 gig hdd and cannot get windows to auto detect it. I know that the sata raid controller is detecting it however because i can see it under device info in the controllers properties. Ive searched the BIOS and cannot find anything relating to the SATA...

I currently have a linksys WRT54GS as my main router and source of wireless internet (this is based on the 3rd floor of my house). I want to add wireless to the 1st floor of my house and currently have a linksys WRT54G sitting around. I have 1 hard wire running from the 3rd floor to the 1st...

I need more HD space desperately and would like to keep with the times and upgrade alone the sata2 path. The unfortunate problems is that my dinosaur a7n8x deluxe only has sata150, and its spotty nvidia sata at that. Does anyone have advice as to how to upgrade without getting a new MB? Any...

This is embarassingly simple question for someone who would like to fancy themselves as relatively experienced, but we all have to be humped sometimes so here goes.... :p I was just sticking a second stick of Corsair RAM in the Inspiron 6400 (damn Dell and their ridiculous mem upgrade...

I reformatted yesterday (made the change from xp home to pro). Ever since I reinstalled my audio drivers my sound quality has been noticeably worse than it was before. Sound isn't horrible and works correctly (the right sounds from the right channels, etc) but it is noticeably muffled sounding...

When i use MBM5 i get 3 temperature readings, case, cpu socket, and cpu diode. the diode temperature is always noticeably higher than the socket temperature. However, i have no idea where this diode reading is coming from. I have also taken measurements from my bios and from Asus utility...

For some reason i cannot get lame to compress files after i extract them using eac. the wav extraction goes fine and then i see the lame window pop up for a split second and then disappear (its almost just a flash). No matter what i try i cant get it to compress. I know i have eac pointed to...

Ive been getting random BSODs recently cauing me to reboot or to come home finding my computer off. They're really starting to bug me. If anyone has any idea what they're from that'd be great. The most recent one (10min ago) read: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x1000000a (0x00000000, 0x00000002...

What smaller and more portable headphones would you guys recommend to use with an ipod? The stock earbuds just dont do it for me, but my HD497s are really too big to be carried around with me all the time. What do you guys use?

Can anyone lead me to a good program that will allow me to re-tag mp3s (in full cd groups) that have messed up tags or none at all, hopefully with the help of an online database that will enter the information on its own so i dont have to do it all manually.

The title says it all pretty much. I uninstalled my nforce chipset drivers and now i cant get the comp to boot (feel free to laugh). What can do to get this thing into windows short of a complete reformat, which i cant afford to do.

I just got a new 6800 and have been very disappointed with its performance in far cry. Ive been trying to play at 1280x1024 with all settings at very high except particle count and special effects both on high, and i still cant get a constant decent framerate. Whenever i get into a decent sized...

What is sideband addressing? Is it important to have it enabled? If so, how would i go about enabling it? Its something ive heard about before and saw was disabled when looked at CPU-Z and a couple other programs and thought maybe it could help explian why im getting poor performance from my...

I just got a free copy of far cry with my 6800 and tried to load it today. Everything goes fine until i finally try to fire up the game. When i do this the game just stops at the screen with jack and the chick and sits there doing nothing at all. I've tried installing 1.1 and tried...

I'm seriously considering the 6800nu with farcry and doom3 from bestbuy to replace my pos old ti4200 right now. However, the 6800s 128mb of ram seems somewhat strange and potentially limiting to me. I would think that a card that is faster than the 9800xt should need the extra ram. Does it...

For some reason my bios clock seems to constantly get faster and faster, causing the windows clock to do the same. I've set it back to the correct time several times, only to have it change again. What could the problem be? I think I'm using bios version 1006 and I know im using revision 2.0 if...

Recently, mp3 playback has begun to skip on my computer. Randomly in the middle of songs i will have a choppy, skipping sort of sound. It happens both in winamp5 and foobar2000 version .8. I dont know why this started or how to fix it. So far i have tried updating drivers, reinstalling...

Recently (in the last week or two) I've started to get random sort of fuzzes of sound in both winamp (5.1 i think) and foobar2000 special. It only seems to happen whne listening to mp3s tho. CDs and games havent had that problem. I havent tried any movies. Anyone have any idea why this is...

i just got my samsung173T in the mail today and hooked it up in place of my old 19' song trinitron. What I would like to know is what I might want to do to get the best picture possible out of this thing. It looks very nice alrdy but im sure it can get better. TIA

I'm currently looking for either an 18"or 17" LCD for gaming that can be had for less than 500 bucks. It will be used for games, movies, and the regular stuff. 16ms response time would be preferable, but I'm really just looking for no ghosting. I've been out of the monitor loop for a while so...
