    What happened to the Consolidated Security Thread?

    Thanks. I didn't even bother checking if there was a Security subforum. On a different note, in your free programs thread, the link to disabling the popup from Avira was broken too. A quick search revealed this: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=148503

    Even though I know little compared to most on these forums, lately more and more people have been asking me to come over and help "fix their PCs." Typically, these problems are: - Have virus/malware issues (almost always) - Cannot connect to internet - Computer seems really slow...

    DS3 system posts fine, but with one 1 long beep

    I just put this PC together and it posted fine. I was able to install XP and everything. Now it has started to beep once (long) at post, then once XP has loaded, it does continous long beeps. DS3 manual says RAM error. I'm running memtest86+ right now, but I'd appreciate any help. BTW...

    dropping a screw inside case/motherboard cause of problems?

    I was trying to replace a PCI card, and a screw accidentally fell in and hit the motherboard. Hours later, my slave HDD started showing bad sectors, then failed (basically couldn't complete chkdsk). On next boot, Windows XP was really slow. From then on, XP would get stuck forever on the...

    after slave HD has bad sectors, windows won't boot

    after slave HD has bad sectors, windows won't boot

    After Windows XP froze while trying to access the slave (non-boot) HD, I forced a reboot, upon which it did chkdsk and found 52 (i think?) bad sectors. Afterwards, in windows, it was having issues accessing the same drive again (something about cyclical redundancy check), I forced a reboot...

    Diagnosing Insp.4000 - cd drive not working (bad cd-rom or bad controller on mobo?)

    I'm thinking of buying a replacement cd/dvd drive, but before I do that, I want to make sure it's really the cd drive, and not the controller (which would mean I have to replace the motherboard). I think I basically just need to try swapping in someone's cd/dvd/cd-rw drive (anyone have any...
