    "Security Tool" pop ups

    A relatives laptop seems to have become infested with some type of malware named "Security Tool". It has the normal pop ups and such that prevent you from doing anything, claiming the obvious virus finds and such. I am not able to get onto the internet on his laptop but I downloaded Malwarebyte...

    How successful is the cash for clunkers so far?

    I'm a Chevrolet dealer...Our first Clunker Deal was a guy with an 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 214,000 miles on it, dock rope helding the doors shut, tires that wouldnt pass his next inspection, molding fallen off and rust all over the place. He chooses a 2009 Chevy Aveo 2 door, 5 speed manual...

    Question regarding 2 Vid cards

    I know this might sound like a dumb question but I have to ask!! My sons PC has the NVidia 7300GS card in it..256 MB of memory DDR2...I know this is a VERY budget card so I was eyeballing my old school ATI Radeon X1800XT in the spare PC (512 MB and DDR3) wondering if that would give his PC a...

    Will a Q6600 65nm be ok in a 45nm Mobo?

    I realized also that I hurried through making sure they were in the right way the first time, my hands were a bit to big to have room in there to turn them...Lesson learned with taking your time and doing it right, it could have cost me my CPU!

    Will a Q6600 65nm be ok in a 45nm Mobo?

    Thank you all for the replies and assistance! 2 clips for the Ultra-90 going into the Mobo had loosened and sort of popped out of the holes so the contact to the cpu was crappy. I removed it, cleaned both the HSF and the CPU and reinstalled with AS5 and was careful when I put the tower back into...

    Will a Q6600 65nm be ok in a 45nm Mobo?

    I have a nice "new to me" home pc system that seems to run nice and smooth until I stress it out even a little. The system simply shuts down when 3dMark (on the CPU tests) or Prime95 is run..The P95 test barely gets going before it shuts down. I am checking everything I can to see what the issue...

    Q6600 after 2.1Ghz Athlon XP is such a treat!

    Going from an AMD 64 3500+/MSI 7105/1GB G Skill/ATI X1800XT to the Q6600/Abit IP35P/4 GB ddr2/4850... Looking forward to this, I have been an AMD fan for quite awhile and simply decided to try Intel...Sort of Like finally buying a Yamaha Stratoliner 1900cc bike after 2 straight Yamaha RoadStar...

    If you had $300.00, what Cpu, board and memory combo?

    If you had $300.00 to spend on a CPU, stable mobo and memory for some good gaming (no worries playing any game out there) and general all around PC use that will last for awhile what would you buy? Of course this IS a budget set up but lets say all you had was $300.00! cpu, mobo and...
