Hey everyone. I've just starting having problems on my main desktop and now whenever I try to startup my computer, it will do its normal stuff, and when it gets to the windows XP screen with the blue running load bar and the Win XP logo, it'll show that for a while and then just reset and run in...

If you want one, pm me your email and name the account should go to. Sorry I didn't clear that up to begin with.

Blizzard's given most existing players 5 trial keys to hand out to people, and I have 4 left if anybody wants them. They give you 10 days free and then if you want to keep playing, they want you to buy the game which gives you another 30 days free, but beyond that you have to pay per month. If...

Is it a safe bet that the problem is the motherboard? If so, I think I might just buy a replacement today since it seems the warranty on my Chaintech ran out a couple weeks ago :( Thanks for the help guys.

Its an Antec Super Lanboy if thats known to shock or anything. Maybe the case builds up a charge while im gone.

I don't think it was touching the case, considering i hear that its not supposed to power on if it touches the case. I'm not sure though; it is using the spacer screws and the little plastic discs, but I guess its possible that the charge could have reached through the pci cards or something...

No beeps. The motherboard has its own little speaker on it, and it usually beeps once on startup when it does work, but now its not beeping at all.

Edit: Forgot to post anything I just got home today and as soon as i pressed the power button, I felt a little shock of static electricity. This has happened several times before, so I wasnt too worried. I left and came back expecting it to be booted up, but the monitor power light was...

Haha possibly. Considering its running a desktop processor it does get really hot, and stupidly, the exhaust output the heat onto your hand if youre using a mouse. I cant stand to use it for more than a couple minutes at a time, and its usually being sat on a bed or a couch, which I bet doesnt...

We had already taken out any unneeded background programs, he had the latest drivers (tried ATI's and the Omega drivers), and he had just recently reformatted his hard drive.

bump. Anyone?

My friends running black and white 2 on his laptop, which uses a 3.0ghz p4 and a radeon 9600 mobile (has literally no battery life). However, even on the lowest settings it runs terrible at around maybe 3 fps at 640*480 res, while his brothers computer, with a 2.8ghz p4 and radeon 9200 is quite...

If all I really want is the surround sound headphone feature, and maybe the improved overall sound quality over onboard sound, will the most basic one still offer these? I have a feeling that the use of the xram wont be supported very heavily considering developers will cater to the majority...

Will an adaptor reduce the amount of power that the fan gets? Also, I'd still like to find out whether or not there are any controllers that can use the molex things without the adapters to keep the price down?

I'm looking for a fan speed controller for my two noisy case fans, so I only really need one that can control two, if it can control more its not a problem especially since i might buy more later. However, my fans only have a molex connector, and when I look on newegg for a fan speed controller...
