WTF is going on with my computer??

Hey guys, Did a virus scan with AVG on my windows 7, found a number of viruses and Trojans. It asked me to restart so I did, and now the computer keeps crashing after the Windows loading logo. Pressing F8 to get into safe mode usually works, but now it just crashes my computer and restarts. I...

Xbox 360 LAN switch advice

Sorry, what is FS/FT? So the best bet would be to buy 2 x 10/100 Switches and link them via a gigabit switch? Is the TP-Link Switch I posted above any good? Also, what about DHCP, is it required for 360 Lans? If so, what would be the best way to use it?

Xbox 360 LAN switch advice

I'm getting 2x24 port switches because that will likely be a minimum once this LAN kicks off and attendees become greater. Is the 10/100 24 port switch above sufficient for these LAN's?

What the hell happened to my PC?

I tried removing 1 HDD and then another, both came up with boot errors. I then plugged them back in and the Windows Boot Manager came up with an error saying that Winload.exe failed to load because the application is missing or corrupt.? Thoughts?

What the hell happened to my PC?

Hey guys, Last night I was on my computer and at one point or another it started to really drag and slow down quite substantially. Opening files and even clicking on the start button made my computer freeze for about a minute or more; which it had never done previously. I thought it might help...

Small case with heaps of space?

Thanks guys, some good cases there. I'm also looking for the ability to hotswap in the front drive bays. Are there any cases that come with hotswappable connectors in the front bays?

Small case with heaps of space?

Hey guys, well i'm sick of carting around my massive Thermaltake Armor case, I start sweating just looking at the damn thing. Therefore i'm trying to find a decent case that is fairly light but has a substantial amount of space for HDD's, say 5 or 6. Anyone know of a good case for this? Thanks

I have a Nvidia 9800 GX2. http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9800_gx2_us.html It says in the above link under "features" that it can do both A/V. Not sure what you mean about hooked up internally.
