Multiple errors when normally browsing - jpg, ssl, etc

ketchup79 you are the winner! Thank you! I already tried disabling all extensions, but not the antivirus. I turned it off and like magic, everything works. This is actually the second time that my Avast install has been corrupted in some way that has impacted my internet access. Last time I had...

Multiple errors when normally browsing - jpg, ssl, etc

Thanks for the reply! I will try the AVG USB utility when I get off work tonight. I try to avoid using restore points to fix problems. It seems more like a temporary band-aid at best. I've never really had an issue fixed from doing one. I also checked my DNS server and everything is ok there.

Does anyone know a turbojet engineer?

I fail to see what the Brayton cycle could do to improve a case. lol Maybe he wants someone who knows a lot about aerodynamics.

I don't know any actual engineers, but I work at an air station. I'm around mechanics all day. What type of questions? Maybe I could help.

Water Cooling Kit Versus Air - Power Consumption - Because it's Earth Day

Water cooling may be beneficial in systems that spend a lot of time at load, like folding, etc. That's where water cooling really shines, not idle temps. It may be possible to design a loop that could outperform air (electricity consumption), but I think it would have to be specifically designed...

Water Cooling Kit Versus Air - Power Consumption - Because it's Earth Day

20w? That can be made up for by unplugging that night light in your restroom. You're totally right about the materials, though. A lot more goes into water cooling, and if you're thinking about it in a green way, that's more energy expended. Of course then you could look at where individual...

Best Air CPU Cooler for IB Overclock

These air coolers are ridiculous. Why don't you just go for watercooling and then if you change sockets later, all you have to do is replace the mounting hardware.

[SOLVED] Help choosing a case from limited selection

I think the 500r or 1100 would both make excellent choices. In either case, I don't believe that the cases come with dust filters for all of the available fan slots. You'll have to purchase more separately. You can factor that cost into your calculations to help you decide. Also if I remember...

Water Cooling Kit Versus Air - Power Consumption - Because it's Earth Day

You should be able to directly compare kwh between your selected pump (and accompanying fans), and what a HSF draws off of the power supply. Those are the only parts in each that use electricity. I would assume watercooling would end up slightly more expensive power wise. You will generally...

Case for 120.2 w/c, single loop

Case for 120.2 w/c, single loop

The CPU will be whatever AMD comes out with later this year. That's why I was ambiguous about it, I don't really know how much heat the chip will put out or if a GPU will do ok on the loop or not. I don't have a problem with a CPU only loop. I also only have 1 hard drive and no optical drive, so...

Case for 120.2 w/c, single loop

I'm upgrading from a matx case to something larger to fit a full atx motherboard. When the holidays come around, I'd like to treat myself to a custom water cooling loop. It will, at most, cool the cpu and a single video card. I may leave the GPU out of it entirely. As such, a 120.2 will do just...

budget laptop gaming under 900

Hmm crap. I'll have to talk to my wife about it. What is battery life like on a non switchable cpu with no sound and screen brightness down a bit? Just an estimate? The computer will have to have battery life for college but she is an avid gamer..

budget laptop gaming under 900

Like the title says. I found the acer on newegg with the phenom II and hd6550 for 679 I believe but I'd like a better build quality or a faster cpu or a faster gpu.. which would probably mean intel. 16" is the absolute highest I will go for screen size but 15 is what I would rather. Any ideas guys?

Something you realize when you get older.

My dad has a quote on his wall that says something like, "Every minute you spend angry is a minute wasted." It's cheesy but it's true. Some days are s***ier than others, yeah. That doesn't mean the whole day has to be though. I make sure to enjoy every minute of my life I can now. Who knows how...

Well if your hand is already messed up, my guess is any mouse is going to hurt. It would be worth it to get a trackball for any amount of extended computer activity. Yes it would take time to get used to. Yes, new high tech trackballs haven't been released by logitech for a long time. However...

Klipsch ProMedia 2.1

Oh I forgot to mention the weakness of the Klipsch system.. the wiring is thin and brittle and will short out if you aren't careful with the placement. I haven't had a chance to see what the wiring is like on the Z2300s. (I'm talking about the wires that go to the satellites)

I've been reading a bit on cache differences, and it seems like the 8 and possible 9 series of Q chips are offering SSE 4.1 which can offer good gains? There's also the FSB differences and lower cache latencies that could make up for any advantage in the 8mb cache on the Q6600. However I look at...

The Z2300s will have punchier bass. The Klipsch have more detailed mid range and highs. Both can be blasted at full with little distortion and are amazing systems. It just comes down to what you listen to. Mostly games? You might be more impressed with the sub on the logitech. Music of any sort...
