Well, I got it in today and now I'm having problems with the "quiet fan" function of my motherboard. Right now this thing is just as loud as my old fan. I even updated the bios on my motherboard which supposedly fixed an issue with the quiet fan. EDIT: Just did some research and for some...

I have made dvd's from avi files with WinAVI, works great. It can basically convert anything to anything. http://www.download.com/WinAVI...0-2194_4-10691374.html

I ordered the Freezer 7 Pro earlier today. Should be here Tuesday... Thanks for the help!

Ok, thanks. My Bios right now is on "quiet mode" but it doesn't make a difference and the cpu fan is always on anyways.. I guess I will be ordering the freezer pro then. Thanks edit: Does that include any kind of thermal compound or will I need to purchase that seperately? And what is the...

Right now I'm using the stock heatsink/fan that came on my CeleronD 3.2ghz LGA775. This is pretty much the loudest fan in my system. When I unplugged this fan for a second, the audio level was very nice with just a small hum from the power supply. What do you think will be the cheapest way to...

DVI does work in other resolutions, just doesn't seem to want to work at 1680x1050. I don't have another gpu, or 1680x1050 capable monitor or else I would test.

I Just got a new monitor (Gateway 22") and am having trouble getting it to work with its standard resolution of 1680 x 1050. Through VGA, this resolution works fine but when I try to use DVI all I get is a bunch of jumbled up lines that look like this -> Picture Now, I'm thinking its...

ok thanks, I guess its just DDR then, since thats what it says on the label of the sticks that are in there now. And its not the system in my sig, its a laptop

Hi, I've got a compaq laptop thats about 1 year old that currently has 2x256 DDR memory sticks (I think its DDR at least, the label just says DDR) I am wanting to put 2x512 in it but im not sure which type of RAM I need.

Hi, Ive got a Dynex webcam that says its compatible with Vista, but I'm only getting a black image. It works fine on a different XP machine. I've tried reinstalling software, drivers, and everything I could think of.. Any ideas on what I should do? thanks

I like to play Starcraft with a friend over my Lan but is there a program that can make it appear that he is on my local network when he is at his house? I know for xbox there is Xlink and XBConnect and these both work great. Something similar for pc games would be perfect. Thanks!

Hi, Im getting an older PC ready to give to my cousin who has dial-up internet. I found a modem that I used to have and installed it but it doesnt show up in the device manager. Nothing pops up or anything. Its like its not even there. I even tried a different dial-up modem that I know is...

Well, its been a while and I finally got a new PSU (Ultra XConnect 500w) The same thing happens. It just gets stuck at that screen. Im kind of mad now that I bought a new PSU and it never fixed the problem.

Hi, this past week my right wrist has been hurting a ton and it doesnt seem to go away. Do you think this might have something to do with being on the computer a ton? Ive seen those vertical mice and if this pain is caused by computing, would those help at all? thanks

Hi, a bunch of friends and I usually have a big chat every night and right now we just all use aim. I was looking for somehting more powerfull that could let me boot people and just have alot more features. I was thinking something web based or similar system that would be easy for people to use...
