    Mobo screws question

    I was just wondering if, when mounting my mobo in my case, if I am supposed to use any non metal washer or something like that in addition to standoffs. For instance, should I put a plastic washer between the standoff and the mobo, or put the washer between the screw and the mobo, etc? I am...

    My computer won't power up

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I had forgotten to mention that soon after this all happened I went to Best Buy and got another PSU and nothing changed. I am tempted to try that again though, in case I got a bad one from the store (unlikely I know, but that kind of thing has happened to me...

    reported free space on HDD discrepency

    I was just wondering if anyone could help explain why there is a difference between what Windows Vista reports as what is free on my HDD and what I calculate to be free. More specifically, I have a 250 GB drive (reported as 232 in Vista of course; format NTFS). On the "Computer" screen...

    help! - computer just stopped posting

    Thanks, that was what I was starting to wonder too. I will try that out. Edit: would a bad video card cause my system not to post? I would think I would still at least get some HDD activity if that were the case. Hopefully I can find an old video card of mine around here to try out!

    What happened to the modern combat flying sim?

    There have been some good reviews of the new Acceleration expansion for the MS Flight Sim which has the F-18. Has anyone played that yet? I, too, have been lamenting the lack of flight sims these days and was hoping that it is as good as the reviews I have read say.

    fan connectors question on Gigabyte K8NF-9

    There is no fan on the chipset, just a heat sink. As for you suggestion to get a 3 to 4 pin molex connector, what is the PSU? I looked around on my board and in the manual and couldn't find anything. Lastly, if I can only hook up one of my fans, which one should I connect? I am assuming...

    how do I use firewire connectors to get firewire ports?

    Thanks everyone. I just saw some pics of the box contents and there was some slot cover there so that must be it. It was turned so I couln't tell what the ports were but I can be pretty sure now that they are firewire. I am glad I don't have to go buy anything else! I wanted to be prepared...

    Best way to learn to play the guitar

    I started playing guitar about a year and a half ago and after a while of just playing tabs I kind of plateaued (sp?). so I finally got a teacher about 2 months ago and I am seeing the benefits of it already. The fact that you can already pretty much read music will be very helpful. As for...

    WMA@64kbps = MP3@128? Is Microsoft on crack?

    So I finally bought a portable MP3 Player (the Rio 800) and I decided to give the WMA format a shot since Microsoft has hyped it so much. Saying that WMA at 64kbps is as good as MP3 at 128 kbps. What a joke, I am not anywhere close to being an audiophile but if you can't hear all the echo and...

    am I safe with CL2 PC133 memory?

    thats what I was thinking. on the Crucial site there is no cost difference between CAS2 and CAS3. I just wanted to make sure that it would be allright to get the CAS2 if what I ended up having already was CAS3 and it sounds like it is.
