    Computer Turning Off

    Hey. I have been having this problem lately where my computer just turns off for no reason. It then doesn't let me turn it back on for a long time and right now it's not turning on period. At first I thought it was this new power supply that I bought so I returned it but it still did it with my...

    17" or 19" monitor

    Thanks a lot for the help. I'm leaning towards the ACER AL1715EWM 17" LCD Monitor. Not sure yet though.

    17" or 19" monitor

    Yes I already have a 17" CRT and I don't like the fact that it's so damn big. That's why I want an LCD Flat Panel. I don't mind about the gaming that much. As long as the game looks decent I'm ok. I just don't want a huge monitor taking up my desk space.

    17" or 19" monitor

    I am very much in need of a new monitor. I want either a 17" or 19" and if possible under $300. My case is silver so it would be nice to get a silver monitor but that's only if it's available. Also, I want a flat panel but I understand that they are not as good for gaming. Is this true? Any ideas?

    Slow Startup and Shutdown

    Hey I finally transferred everything over to my new case and got it up and running. However, when I start windows now, it stays at "Windows is starting up" for a noticeably much longer period of time. Also, When I shutdown, it takes at least 3 minutes with no programs running. It's really...

    Antec 350 Watt Smart Blue

    Yeah I have my case open now. I'm wondering...does anybody know exactly how the whole fan speed regulation thing works on the PS? Is it possible that the mobo isn't allowing it to regulate its own fan speed? I have heard very good things about Antec and it's a brand new PS so I doubt that the...

    Antec 350 Watt Smart Blue

    Well the PS is brand new and supposedly if it shuts off, it's a safety feature. I also know that it adjusts the fan speed as necessary. I noticed that everytime that it shuts off, it is pretty hot when I touch it. I'm guessing that maybe the fans aren't adjusting properly and the temperature...

    Antec 350 Watt Smart Blue

    Hey. I recently installed my new power supply, the 350Watt Antec Smart Blue. For some reason, it tends to shut off while the lights in the front of the case remain on. After it shuts off, it takes a very long wait before it will turn on again. I don't know if it's the power supply or not but it...

    New Graphics Card...Feedback

    I liked the card very much. Ignore all these people about the Radeon. That card will NEVER match up to the 5900XT. My roommate ordered a 9800 because of what they told me in this topic. I talked to my uncle who has been working with computers for 15 years and is Microsoft certified. He told me...

    New Graphics Card...Feedback

    Hey I just ordered the VGA MSI|FX5900XT-VTD128 8X 128MB RT Does anybody else have this card or know anything about it? I have read some good reviews online but I figure this is probably the best place to ask.
