Windows Media Player Troubles

I believe I was recently a victom of one of the Internet Explorer Active X scripting holes and it affected my Windows Media Player. I guess that updating weekly isn't quite enough to stay safe with all these security patches coming out (four in the last week). I guess I should set it to daily...

Presumed Motherboard Problems

Thanks for your reply! I know the power supply is working. It is recently purchased and I can hook it to another machine and I get power. I also tested a known good power supply and it worked as well. I'll give the thing a go, but if I remember correctly, it worked fine about a week and a...

Presumed Motherboard Problems

Hello Anandtech users, I'm back with yet another problem ;) I've built several computers and have never run across this. I assume it's a faulty hardware issue, most likely in the mainboard. When I plug the power supply into the main board and attempt to power it up, nothing happens. No fans...

Budget Digital Camera

I'm looking for a decent digital camera for a decent price. Can anyone offer up any suggestions on what camera to look into. I'm hoping for sub-$80 and I haven't stumbled across anything yet. If any one has a suggestion to share, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Beeping/No POST

There weren't any connections to be faulty. I removed everything but the CPU and memory. I did, however, find out the problem in a way. I eventually stumbled across the beep code key that I needed (after a long while searching through Award Bios, and then the Phoenix website). Repeating...

Beeping/No POST

Hey all, I recently started building yet another computer. I purchased a Chaintech motherboard (a budget solution that had some nice reviews on Newegg) and an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ CPU. I've built plenty of computers, but have never run across this. I was going through my usual routine of...

Hard Drive/BIOS Woes

Thanks for the quick response! I do have the hard drives jumpered correctly. I actually have four drives that I am working with. Two of them are Seagate 3.2GB drives. I'm not sure which model these are, but they came from Compaq computers. The other two are Western Digital 1.6GB Caviars (1x...

Hard Drive/BIOS Woes

What's up everyone, I was going through attempting to have one of my 3.2GB HDDs work the other day and ran into a problem. I originally atempted to put FreeBSD on the hard drive. I noticed that whenever I booted up, the computer did not find my hard drive (but found all other devices)...

Motherboard Problems

Hey all - Last week, the power supply on one of my computers fried last week. I was hoping that nothing else had been damaged. However, I swapped an extra PS I had lying around in today. Whenever I turn on the power supply switch, the computer turns on. I don't have to hit the computer...

free sony tshirt

From what I've heard, this is an older deal that offered 1,000 shirts and I'd imagine that they're gone by now. However, I signed up anyway with my fingers crossed. Thanks for the heads up Joker!

Aopen CRW1232A Troubles

I am using the version that came with my burner. 5.0.3.8 or something. Do you think the update would do the trick? The burner doesn't even write to the CD. Even after supposedly cooking the CD, it still turns out alright and says it is blank just like it was before. Could it be a bad...

Arctic Silver on CPU

I have just applied some Arctic Silver Compound to my CPU and have gotten some on the actual chip and not just the core. Since I don't feel like frying my CPU, I felt like being safe and asking if it could cause any harm if left there. I have been trying to get it off, but it just smears. I...
