Dreaded tech didn't do his job..

I dont get a screen at all. I hit the power button and the screen stays blank while the computer powers up. Like I was saying though, it did it a few times and then started up normally. And now its doing it again.

Dreaded tech didn't do his job..

I recently bought all of the computer parts I needed to assemble a PC from Newegg.com. Once I received them I took to a "professional" to put them together for me (since I'm new to the scene and didn't want to destroy anything). I took it home Friday, and as it turns out I'm having a few...

Wireless to hardwired?

My sister recently purchased Vonage and we found that it will not work wirelessly on her computer. It does, however, work when it is hardwired. She lives in a dorm that has wireless connectivity only, and no way to hardwire. Is there any way to pick up this wireless network with some piece of...

Two Hard drives for a gaming rig?

A while ago I posted asking about a good build for a PC that will be used mostly for gaming. Two of the people who responded listed two seperate hard drives for the build they suggested. One smaller, faster HD, and another larger, slower HD. As I'm a newb, I recently became curious as to why...

Decent gaming monitor

I'm looking for a 19" or greater monitor for the gaming rig I will be building shortly. I'm hoping to spend no more than $200 on it, but can go over if its really worth it. I'm planning on running crossfire on x10 cards. Some say 19" may seem like a waste for crossfire, but this is currently my...

650W enough?

I'm building my own system and will be running some decent stuff on it. So far I've purchased my mobo and my CPU. ASUS mobo and Intel Core 2 Duo CPU. I'll be going xfire with two directx 10 cards, and running two hard drives, along with any optical drives I might want. Would it be enough to get...

Question about ATI cards

I'll be building my own gaming rig shortly, but I dont want to spend big bucks on two crossfire cards until x10 is released. What would be a good temporary alternative? Something pretty cheap but able to run something like World of Warcraft without too much pain. Obviously I dont want to spend...

Opinions on a Gaming Rig

If I were to wait until x10 comes out, what temp ATI card would you recommend? I just need something to hold me over until x10 and cards are released. Also, I've read that the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe has BIOS issues with the Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe. Do any of you know if that problem has...

Opinions on a Gaming Rig

I want a setup that will run games flawlessly, but I know that buying the top thing on the market is going to gouge my pocket book. Will today's cards run x10 games with much trouble? I probably wont buy these cards until x10 is released anyway just for the price drop... but is it worth it to...

Opinions on a Gaming Rig

Yes, it is all inclusive. Thanks for asking - I should have clarified. I dont plan to purchase a printer/scanner or anything of the sort at this time. Just the items I'll need to make the computer operational: Monitor, keyboard, mouse.

Opinions on a Gaming Rig

I want to spend about $3000. I'm willing to go just a little bit over. I intend to use it mainly for gaming. Of course I'll be fitting a little school work in there also. Overclocking? Sure, I'd be happy to. And as for the monitor, I really dont want to drop below 19". Possibly bump up to 21".
