Hi, I'm trying to figure out a possible setup for a comprehensive way to stream my media. Ideally, this includes my local media, Netflix, Rhapsody, and other sites such as Hulu. Currently, my hardware setup is a Win XP based system, a DLink DNS-323 NAS, and a modded Xbox with XBMC. What I'd...

I still don't know what the problem was, but I had to unplug the comp to let the battery die, the power button wouldn't let me reboot. Anyway, I did a repair install, then a full install and it seems to be up and running. Hopefully I won't have this issue popping up randomly.

edit: anyway, I'd like to at least get win xp installed and then troubleshoot. Since I have a working mouse is there a way to click to type when installing? I need to input the cd key etc.

The keyboard does work, I used it to navigate the bios. Also, the touchmouse pad was working before I did the HD wipe. I'm not really sure whats going on, 'cause it was working fine. This came out of the blue.

My laptop recently has been freezing up after booting, and the only way to get it to respond would be to let the battery run down to the point that XP makes a pop up telling me to switch power sources. At that point, the system becomes functional. So, I decided to wipe everything and do a...

I like foobar, I don't use many features in it but it's got a tiny footprint so it's good for overall system performance.

Never mind that last edit. I'm watching it in the bios. Temp is now a cool 25 C which is when the fan starts to kick in. I still can't say I'm at all impressed with the stock heatsink installation, but whatever, as long as its working.

grr, i'm next to sure that's what it is.... because no, after I cleaned it i put it in while the MB was installed. Also, I forgot to mention. My mobo has plugs for a system and power fan, but as far as I know nothing I have plugs into them. I have a p180 case and gigabyte ds3. I have...

well, i've got a problem. I cleaned it off, and put a small line down the middle like artics website describes. I did my first boot into the bios and it's showing a temp of 70 C. What gives? Do I need more compound, or maybe the heatsink isn't contacting well? I did have issues...

Edit: I cleaned it, but it's running really hot. Check out my post a few down... I applied way too much artic silver 5 to my heatsink and now have to clean it off after it's already been installed. I checked artics website (the instructions there let me know I did it wrong..) and they...

I'd say at the moment mwave is a bit better deal for the 4300. It's $5 cheaper after shipping than newegg, AND its 2 day air, rather than 3 day at newegg. Anyway, its where I ordered mine and it's been processed. Should be at my door Wed I hope.

lol, do what you need =]

it is SO perfect for Video forum :Q how do i give "credit" for the quote? :confused: -Darrvid? :)

I'd like to know how it compares to the seagate as well, particularly the 320gb seagate. yeah, i know they're different sizes.

LoL i'd like to rip that off for a possible sig, Daarvid :D sweet, it's just like immortality!
