    Friends new HP Computer, pci-e video card installed but driver not working

    Hmm, sorry about my grammar in the original post. I was a bit rushed and just wanted to post this really fast so I could take a break. So to answer: 1) its set to 1920x1080 just like the resolution for her new 23" 2) its a desktop HP. The person who made it good the first time did it in her...

    Hello, I have a friend who is having a huge issue at the moment with her new HP Pavilion p6733w Desktop PC. I am not near by any means and tried to help over the phone but I fear what I did caused no solution. However in the end there was no change, for better or worse to the situation. So...

    Might be able to get a used PC, but need help comparing stats

    yeah I dont like the case at all (I like ones that help block out noise and has efficient cooling (not saying it doesnt, just isnt as good as my P180 imo). I prefer ones with a front door but like the fact with all those bays the guy put in a 4x SATA cage that allows hot-swapping with ease...

    Disconnected from internet exactly every hour? For 20 seconds ish

Today it kept going off at X:37, like 2:37, 3:37, 4:37. Sometimes the minutes will change, like to 59 or w/e but its hourly. The only...

    Will I notice a speed difference going from a WD Raptor 74gb to 7200RPM drive?

    Hi, I was wondering if Id notice any speed difference if I were to get a larger drive then my current 74GB Raptor (which is the older 8mb cache SATA model). I wanted to get something a bit more roomier, especially with recent problems ive had with the drive (overheating a lot, upwards of 48c...

    Noticed something odd with AMD X2 4400+ Stock fan

    So I had it on for hours, like 15hrs worth and it never gave me troubles after. I just turned it on, booted fine. I looked at the CPU fan again, and it was "ticking" trying to spin; gave it a boost and worked fine. Temps after 3min of "off" for the fan, and Everest says 28c, which is great since...

    Noticed something odd with AMD X2 4400+ Stock fan

    Yeah, I have having cold boots a moment ago, with the front power LED just blinking. I checked all the power connections and sprayed out some dust, but it started fine after the 4-5th try. Great, but looking at the CPU fan after 20 or so seconds (basically when it hit desktop), I saw it wasnt...

    PC Freezes, some programs corrupted?

    I randomly thought to try Memtest, and I came across a very startling problem. In the entire 56min it took for the first round of tests, I got 84920 errors. Test 5 got no errors, and test 8 got only a few. However, the rest went about 50 errors/sec. However, I tested the ram not even a month...
