    psychology: why do people like screensavers so much?

    I don't use them, but I imagine some people do just to customise their PC a bit more, give it a little personality. Maybe they do so in an office environment to make things a bit more fun - the same reason people put little toys and trinkets on their desks.

    I HAVE NO CELEBRITY . . . BUT I HAVE MANY FANZZZ

    Actually the word celebrity can be used as the author has done in the subject :) e.g. "I have no fame" is the same as "I have no celebrity" :) </pedantic rant>

    Strange XP Booting Problem

    Well Scott I took your advice and disabled all unused IDE channels in the BIOS, and also set the pagefile to 2048mb, and the problem seems to have disappeared! It has been on and off, so I can't say for sure whether the problem is gone, but so far so good! Many thanks - I *really* appreciate...

    Michael Jackson, Guilty or Innocent?

    I love how people who have heard a few unfounded rumours in the press declare that Michael Jackson is guilty. I would've thought that people, especially in this kind of forum, would be skeptical of the media. Now of course nobody but Jackson and his accuser know the truth, but I believe he's...

    Ok, maybe I'm retarded

    Maybe there is some sort of blockage - like something lodged in there? I don't think theres any (road) cars out there that require you to do anything more than open the door, unscrew the cap and put the pump in. I'd get it checked out... if you can manage to drive it to a mechanic :(

    Strange XP Booting Problem

    ASUS Motherboard hardware monitor problem?

    Have you tried updating the BIOS? I've seen some BIOS versions on various motherboards report incredibly innacurate temps.

    Strange XP Booting Problem

    Thanks DaiShan, I'll try testing the USB/Firewire peripherals one by one. I understand that they can increase boot time, but they shouldn't stop it altogether... :/ The PATA drive is about a year old. It has been functioning fine in my old machine since I bought it, and I just transferred it...

    Strange XP Booting Problem

    Just another thing. If it is indeed a PSU-related issue, could it be because my current PSU has a 20-pin ATX connector, but the mobo has a 24-pin connector? I've connected the ATX12v connector so I didn't think it would be a problem *puzzled* Anyone?
