Can onboard sound card fail to deliver enough power?

Especially high impedance headphones (e.g., Sennheiser 580/6xx, Beyerdynamics DT990 Pro etc.) are not enjoyable when connected to on-board sound devices. Those just can't drive these headphones. For low impedance they can be viable for very general use.

Is anything truly random?

With zero serious scientific background my personal opinion is that very probably nothing is truly random. "Definition of Random for this topic: Lacking any consistent rules or order or purpose that can lead to any patterns." I think this should probably be changed into "Definition of Random...

do people still use defrag type software? or general pc optimizers?

PC optimizers will go out of fashion about the same time as weight-loss pills.

creating a script to delete TONS of files

Make sure you have a backup because even the slightest error in code could end in disaster. Any script/prg would require serious testing before allowing it to comb the folder structure. Perhaps you should make the test program/script copy the files somewhere and only then delete them...

What was the last game you played that made your jaw drop?

Areas with crowds in Hitman Absolution are very interesting to look at / wade through. There aren't many games (in fact I can't think of any, not even MMOs) that have that kind of environment.

How Much Energy Would be Required For...

Almost completely irrelevant, but I'm wondering if it would be possible for an asteroid to flawlessly touch down on the surface of the Earth. What I mean is a scenario where the Earth catches up with an asteroid (the right time and place, velocities being right etc.) in a way that in the end...

Some websites don't load properly - but work fine over proxy and other pc's

That's funny. You use Google's DNS servers? So what's your actual experience when the page loads on the problem comp? Items are missing? Won't load a thing?

Built Computer-Now problems, need help!

Make sure the CPU fan is connected properly AND to the proper (usually named CPU1) port. Check if CPU power is connected (4 or 8 pin). Check if PCIe power is connected. Reseat the 24 pin mobo connector. Check if the CPU heatsink is sitting properly on the CPU. Reseat everything. Pull...

A bit hard to say what could be wrong but if it works on all other machines and won't work on a particular machine and you have already tried everything mentioned in the thread then you could try some other stuff: - check if switching ports on the router makes a difference (e.g., swap two comps...

Motherboard headache

As it has already been mentioned, it's not obvious what your problem is. Also, you could just use the reset button to turn on your comp (by connecting the reset button to the power pins). That is, for convenience if the connector attached to the wires coming from the power button got damaged or...

Trouble when moving an XP install to a new machine

There can be two major issues: 1) DISK/PARTITION number is off (you can correct that manually, better yet, create SEVERAL entries in the bootcfg and try them all, best way to avoid getting locked out for good, just clone the lines and alter the DISK/PARTITION numbers, basically create fake boot...

Problems installing Win 7 (heeelp!)

You could also try setting the SATA controller to IDE mode if possible. You can always change that later.
