Set the boot priority in bios. Thanks :)

Hi all, I ran into a problem last night booting up PC, I get a black screen stating "A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. If you have a Windows installation...

Ok I will check this and will let you know next week. Thanks. :)

Hi all :) I have a weird computer problem and I am not sure what it is. About 3 months ago, I made the very stupid decision to clean out my computer using a vacuum extension and brush. After doing so, the computer started acting funny. I turned on the computer and it prompted me to...

They used to explain this on their website but I cannot find it after searching for 30 minutes. So whats the difference in the letter designations between for example, a "P"9550 vs. "T"9550 I know the numbers have more to do with the cache, fsb, whatever. But it's not very intuitive...

Ok thanks for the info. I guess I'll stick with this if it gets a 7.5 from the experts. She wants the big screen for movies and shes not wih a TV so its all good.

I'm looking for something for my daughter and don't know anything about laptops, and she wants this one for Christmas, on the advice of her friend. It will be used for gaming, school, internet, streaming video, and whatever else 20 year old girls do with computers. Should I keep looking or...

There are no mutes applied on any devices. I'm not sure if I understand what you mean when you ask if I'm still hooked up via analog. In real terms yes, I have a Y-cable where one end is R/L RCA connections and the other end is a single headphone-like thing that plugs into the MB. Logically...

I used to run my computer audio through my old receiver using a y-cable plugged into the Tape "in" RCA jacks on my stereo and everything worked fine. THe receiver finally died and so I replaced it with a fancy surround sound thing thats giving me fits. The only time I get sound from the...

Thanks All. You were all right about the grounding problem. My outlet is non-GFI and I was plugging in my surge protector box with an adapter which was not grounded properly. As soon as I grounded the plug by screwing the grounding plate of the adapter to the outlet. no more feedback.

I have an old computer I'm planning to donate but want to make sure it's in running condition. I pulled the old Maxtor 30GB IDE AT HD and was wondering if I could upgrade the system.... but there are very few AT HD on the market for sale. So I'm wondering if I could replace it with an...

I'm trying to send PC audio to a stereo receiver... I have a y-cable. The split end is 2 RCA jacks and the single end is a pin that is supposed to plug into a PC port (the ports used for headphones, etc.) So... I plug the RCAs into my stereo, in any of the input jacks (tape, CD, etc.), and...

Crikey. I just installed the drivers again, for the fourth time, and now it works? Grrr. Yay! Grrr. :P

I built a computer last week and installed the audio drivers yesterday. Everything worked fine with headphones and then sound completely stopped coming out. The sound still works when I have the audio driver utility open and select setup parameters and test them (e.g., stereo, surround...
