Ive got a wireless router. Into that router I have 2 normal LAN cables connected. 1.- LAN-cable goes to a printer 2.- LAN-cable goes to a stationary PC In addition I have a laptop that connects "wirelessly" to the same router mentioned above. Every time I turn the stationary PC...

I had closer look on the card, and opened up the lid that covers the heatsink-cooling-system, and guess what I found there: dust. I removed all the dust, placed the heatsink-lid back on, and started the machine. Temps now show: When not playing games: 50 C When playing a game: 70 C This...

I recently discovered that my gfx card (GTX 7800 MSI 256 Mb) has a very high temperature while playing HL2Episode2. I play several games so Ill check the different temps while I play the other games, but this temperature seems pretty high to me comparing to CPU temps. Is this temperature...

Thanx for all those fast replies (I'm sorry for my own delay:o). Hmm, seems like there is no standard that the MoBo manufacturers follow, since not every case is identical. The risk is: in order to find out if it's working or not as it should you've got to boot, and in case it doesn't work...

Hi. Each time I try to start FEAR (the game), the screen turns black. So, I have Win Xp Pro with SP2. My system passes all the minimum/recommended requirements. I played other "heavy" games like Battlefield 2 MP 64 players, Doom 3, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty 2 on this PC without any...

After having installed SP2 on WinXP Pro, I get this error message when I want to install drivers/motherboard-software/utilities: "Failed to install IO-driver" Before when I didnt have SP2, and on this very same PC I succesfully installed that software. What exactly causes this? Is it...

Does anyone know what drive sizes are supported by Drive Image 2002 Powerquest? What's the maximum drivesize recommended? Is it possible to use this program in combination with SATA drives? Symantec bought the company and now it's impossible to find the documentation on www.Symantec.com...
