    Computer freezing in installation programs

    Never mind, guys, after a while it finally gave me a Machine Check Exception BSOD. I yanked an old USB card and now I'm posting from it. Cheers.

    Need a driver file for Windows 7 HTPC

    I need to get my ATI Radeon All in Wonder 9600 working with Windows 7. Looking for a file that might work, it is called either ati_lh_rc0_32.exe or ati_lh_rc0_32.exe. None of the links on Google work. I was wondering if anyone had it or knows of an alternate way to get the TV tuner in the...

    Need some help for a client of mine

    A client of mine is requesting that I build him a computer. He wants the video card to be quiet, fast enough to run Call of Duty 4, and able to output audio and video through a built in HDMI port. I figured that a Radeon 4650 sounds just about perfect for his needs, but I have not done much...

    Finding a sound card that has an internal header....

    ahh god, those are way too far out of my price ranger. Is there some sort of a converter I can get to turn the internal audio header line into 2x3.5mm connectors?

    Finding a sound card that has an internal header....

    My motherboard has a 9-pin internal header for front panel audio out. It looks similar to the internal USB headers. Now, is there ANY card ANYwhere that actually has this connector? I've been looking and I'm about ready to give up. I'd prefer something with hardware acceleration, but...

    Laptop to desktop?

    You may want to try booting up the PC and Laptop with the keyboard and mouse plugged in. I'm assuming they're ps/2. Like, switch the Flip to the desktop, boot it up, then switch it to the laptop and boot it up.

    4 gigs ram = no boot/BSOD

    Do you have any smaller RAM sticks? Might want to try to see if it happens just when all 4 slots are full. Does any other OS run with the 4 gigs of ram?

    Stupid file sharing question

    An easy way to set up a LAN over WAN is to use Hamachi..... you could set up a network for your company and share files over it, regardless of location or presence on the internet or local LAN.

    Want to build a new computer, help? :)

    Right, and I had a similar setup with a 400 watt PSU, and it wasn't sufficient to boot. If you got a really good 300 watt PSU, you'd probably be fine. I'd go higher, just to be safe - a power supply is not something to cheap out on, especially because if it fails catastrophically, you can...

    Want to build a new computer, help? :)

    A 300 watt PSU is NOT sufficient for a system that uses a 8800GTS. For starters, the video card alone sucks about 120 watts of power. Add in ram, hard drives, opticals, and CPU's, and you're running near peak. 450 is bare minimum if you want a reliable, long lasting system.

    Hard Drive has random slow spots

    Wow. That fixed it. Yeah, so, apparently, my SATA 3.0 controller was defective. The instant I switched to the 150, it worked PERFECTLY. Weird, though. That's an odd thing to fail.

    Hard Drive has random slow spots

    I'll run wd's diagnostic. Hope it doesn't need a fdd. The SATA controllers are both integrated into the motherboard, the 3.0 one on its own PCIe channel, and the 150 one on PCI, I think.

    A little help please

    Robis, how would a boot cd help if he can't POST properly? I've got the same motherboard you have, Goose, it sounds like some problems I had. Might want to try new RAM and PSU. It *could* be getting insufficient voltage. Then again, it could be cold. My mobo is schitzo.

    Is my motherboard dead?

    Well, then, obviously, your mobo is dead. You might want to call ASUS or look into RMA'ing it.

    Will power outtages damage my computer?

    The main problem is that you can get corrupted data and bad sectors when a hard drive loses power during write. Data may still be in the buffer, as in stored on the HDD's RAM but not written to the drive, and it will be lost if power goes out.

    installing a new 2.5" drive into my laptop

    Burn a bunch of DVD's then. :P Or, you could use a desktop on the network. Or, you could get an external enclosure for your 160 and transfer the data that way.

    Help Please! (Think I may have killed someones computer)

    Sounds like the mobo. You might want to try manually clearing the CMOS, see if it's a problem with the motherboard's settings.

    It was all at once. It shows the same dips in speed as HDtach. This happened all at once - used to be it was doing this for the whole drive till I reinstalled the drivers for the SATA controller. And no, I'm not shopping for a new drive, I'm broke. :P My board has a SATA 3 controller and...

    Yeah. The problem isn't even bad spots - the data in these areas of the hdd is fine, but it just reads slow as hell in those specific parts. I'll try running hdtune overnight.

    Hard Drive has random slow spots

    I analyzed the drive, and there are *no* fragmented files. Makes sense, because I use the drive as a media disc, and have never deleted files off of it since the reformat.

    Help with a gaming desktop

    Get a new video card. The one you have blows chunks. It's not going to do max with DX10 or 9. It might be able to do low settings with a decent framerate. The video card you SHOULD get is a Geforce 8800GT. If it isn't out yet, wait. ;) 200 bucks and it's better than an 8800GTS...

    Building a new machine

    My advice is to wait for the 8800GT to come out. It's more powerful than the 8800GTS and less expensive (200 - 250 bucks). Seems OK to me.

    Help with PFsense

    I'm gonna try cloning the MAC address of the router into the pfsense box. I'll disconnect the router, of course. If it helps, we used to run the network with the uplink from the switches going directly into the modem. It was extremely unstable, but it DID work, sort of.
