Fix Current Laptop or Buy New?

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm going to look into buying a new one. Another option I thought of is to see if I can find an external battery charger--then I could at least use the laptop w/ its batteries.

Fix Current Laptop or Buy New?

So I've got a Gateway MT6841 laptop that hasn't been working for the last 6 months or so. It cost $700 2.5 years ago when I got it--came with Vista, 2gb RAM, 15" screen, etc. Now it's a large paperweight due to it no longer taking a charge from the A/C adapter. All signs pointed to the DC power...

DVD-RW drive issues

Yeah, I tried the newest Marvell drivers to no avail. Plus, the fact that it worked at one time with the default drivers says something. I bit the bullet and went ahead and bought a SATA drive off of Newegg. I have a feeling that Jest3r and my suspicions were right--the IDE controller is...

DVD-RW drive issues

I built a new computer a few months back and everything seemed fine for awhile. Then a couple weeks ago my DVD drive tray started popping out whenever I would turn on the computer as well as when Windows XP would load. Just the other day I tried putting a disk in the drive and realized that it...

E8400 - One core not stabile?

Did exactly that and one core (worker thread #1) ran the large FFT test for 33 minutes and the other core (#2) ran for 8.5 hours. So there still seems to be an issue. Ocguy31 - yep, I've got CPU Spread Spectrum disabled. I didn't see anyway to disable the Transaction Booster and when I tried...

E8400 - One core not stabile?

Tried upping the CPU vcore to the max recommended (1.3625v) and it is still failing out of P95 after 5-10 minutes. :( I don't get it--I thought E8400s were supposed to reach 9x400 without breaking a sweat?

E8400 - One core not stabile?

Right now I'm at 9x400, memory at 1:1 (so 800), and 1.2v vcore and 2.0v dram. One thing I'm confused about is what exactly the FSB Termination Voltage does and what I need to set it to? Right now I have it on Auto.

E8400 - One core not stabile?

Trying to OC my new E8400/PQ5 Pro setup and am testing for stability in Prime95. Unfortunately the first core appears to be quite a bit more stabile than the second, as evidenced by the durations below. Is there a way to address this on a per-core basis without having to broadly apply more...

Yes, I could do that. However, I was really hoping to stay on domain2.com when redirecting.

DNS issues

Oh, so I was going at it in completely the wrong way. :) So now that I know the correct angle to approach it from, I'm trying to edit the .htaccess file with some mod_rewrite commands: RewriteEngine on rewritecond %{http_host} ^www.domain2.com [nc] rewriterule ^(.*)$...

DNS issues

So I've got 2 domains pointing to the same hosting box. Let's say they are domain1.com and domain2.com for illustrative purposes. Right now both domains go to the root of the hosting folder, meaning they take you to the same place (basically domain2 is an alias for domain1). What I want is for...
