Hey everyone. I just had a quick question since I haven't been into video card or scene in a very long time. I have no knowledge of the new stuff out. I'm looking to upgrade my GTX 260 which was given to me. My current setup is: Processor - AMD Phenom II 955 MB - Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 Memory...

Hey everyone. I just ran into a serious problem. My house has very shitty wiring and a few times a week I'll lose power in my room which shuts down my computer. I didn't think this would be a problem, but it has happened numerous times. I went to the store yesterday, came back 30 minutes later...

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I was here last so I was hoping for some advice since I've been out of it for some time. My parent's computer is old, slow, and there is nothing I can really do to fix it at this point. I convinced my dad to let me build one for him instead of going to Dell...

Hello Everyone, I'm pretty new to the HTPC thing. I've never had much use for one before but I'm acquiring more movies and MP3s, so I figured it would be nice to have a dedicated platform for them. I recently hooked up my computer to our current standard TV and showed my fiance GB-PVR...

Hello everyone. There has to be something wrong with me. Every computer I've ever built has horribly high temps. I remember having problems with my older system; an AMD Athlon 1.2 with an after market HSF. It never overheated so I was fine, but the temps were still very high. With my new...

So I just logged onto the hardfolding.com site and checked out my stats. On the main page is says that the duplicate member posting was fixed. I never knew that problem existed before, but now that it is "fixed", I am listed twice. :D

Nothing important to say here. I started folding again on my work computer. Last time I folded was 2004 and I was at about 3400 points or so. Now I just reached over 10,000 under a new name. Yay!

Ok so I just recieved all of my parts a few hours ago. I have: Core 2 Duo 6400 Asus P5N-E SLI 1 gig G.Skill DDR2-800 XClio Goodpower 500W EVGA 7900GS Centurion 5 etc... (It doens't matter right now) Ok I put all of the above together including the HD and DVD-R, hit power, all fans...

My computer (see sig below, its old but I'm broke) has recently been rebooting when I'm playing a game or just recently while installing FS2004 during the landscape extracting. It will idle at around 54 to 55C so that is what I believe to be the problem, but I'm not sure since I've been reading...

Hello everyone. As you can see from my specs below, well they aren't entirely accurate anymore, but regardless I need an upgrade. I'm kinda confused about how I want to go about this. I think my card is still ok for what I'll be doing, mostly gaming, but I don't need top of the line graphics...

Ok I'm finally getting a new system. Its been quite a few years since I've done this so I'd like some opinions. Its going to be mainly used for gaming and stuff but I don't need it to be too crazy, I'd like to keep the price down a bit. I'm keeping my speakers (older Altec Lansing that can still...

Ok, I read the FAQ, did a search, and I didn't seem to find the answer that would help me. I have 2 computers, a hub, and an internet connection. I can only get one computer to work at a time over the hub. I could have sworn I have gotten 2 computers to share a connection over the hub before...

Ok I really need help here. I posted a few days ago that I couldn't get Nero to find my drive, and now I see why. I have tried 3 different burners in my system, and they all function perfectly as cdroms but no burning program will recognize them as a burner. Anyone ever dealt with this sort of...

Ok so my friend gave me his burner, its a Sony CRX185E1. He also gave me Nero. I installed Nero and it won't let me select the sony drive as a burner. It says that it can only be used with the burner that it came packaged with. Now, I'm pretty sure THIS is the burner that it came with. Anyways...

Ok, so I'm finally going to jump into Linux. I think I decided on Mandrake just because I hear it is one of the easiest to get into. Well I don't really understand how to install it. I went to the mandrake website, and I'm not sure what files to download. Do I just burn the 3 .iso files onto 3...

Ok, I'm formatting my friends Sony Vaio Model PCG-8K2R and I'm having problems. Well I formatted it and everything works well, but he doesn't have any of his drivers, so I figured np I'll just go onto the Sony website, find the model, and find out what hardware is on it. Well aparrently the...

My friend wants me to build him a box for around $500. I'm sure it could go up a little bit. He is into photo editing and graphics and stuff. Now I have never built a system around that so I have no idea what I should get, which is the reason I am asking for help. Any suggestions? I'm pretty...

Glad to see the forums up again. I was wondering what any of you guys use as an organizer/reminder type program. I want something that I can put stuff in on certain dates and it reminds me and also has a very easy to read layout. Like maybe it would show that month, and all of the entries I have...

Ok, I got a shitty virus (I believe) that screwed up my OS. Ok, thats not bad, but I don't think it stopped there. I can't even reformat the thing. I got to a prompt with cd drivers once, and it said that W2K setup can't run in DOS mode, which is retarded because it loaded all of the windows...

Ok my gf just restarted my computer and walked away and it says that the "ntkernal" or something is corrupted or missing. That is bad. I can boot from the cd or anything. Last night AVG detected a Trojan, but it was taken care of. Perhaps it wasn't, I don't know but my computer isn't booting...

I assume this is the right forum, if not I apologize. Where do you guys get your GBA games? Gamestop is kind of expensive, but I just got a GBA so I really don't know how much the games are generally. Suggestions?

I was in a chat room today and someone told me to go to Bulk Nutrition to get ephedrine before it is possibly banned. I ordered 3 bottles. It's $5 shipping and only $7 for a bottle of 60 tablets. That cost me $26 total for 180 tablets. Thats an excellent deal. :D Get it before its banned. 13...

I am building a new system, and I was thinking of getting a 9600 Pro. I currently have a Geforce Ti200, and I can play BF1942, Call of Duty, etc exceptionally well still. So if I were to upgrade to a 9600 Pro, how long would that last me. If not that long, any other suggestions?

Ok, I am getting a new job now so I should be able to afford more than a $400 upgrade, well new system really. Now I can spend maybe $200 or $300 more on my new system. What would be the best thing I could get for around the $700 price range. I will go either AMD or Intel, it really doesn't...

Ok, I recently installed W2k and just got everything working fine (updates and all). And now my cdrom doesn't work sometimes. The computer can see it, but it won't read disks. If I reboot it will work again. I reinstalled drivers and nothing.... anyone know wtf is going on?

Wow, this is crazy to me. AVG's resident shield just told me to run AVG because I have a virus. Therefore, I did, and it found "lovan.A" or something of the sort. That is crazy to me lol. I have NEVER had a virus before in the 10 years I have been using a modern computer. This is exciting. :D...

When I am on the internet (so far I think, I just installed W2k yesterday) I get an error message saying that svchost.exe has generated errors and has to close. Then it says a log has been created. What is svchost.exe, what does it do, and where is that error log file located? THANX CYA...

Now most of the time when I think about buying a processor, I always think OEM. I don't even consider buying retail, but for some reason I don't know why lol. Are retail HS/Fans really that bad?
