    GTA V - PC download for 31.35 - GMG

    I've read in different forums that there are reports of Nuuvem keys being region locked, even without a region lock warning. Though if a purchased key doesn't work, you could probably get a refund.

    GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H New build BSOD :(

    Is the SATA port set for AHCI mode? If so, you need to load the AHCI drivers for XP.

    No signal input, power button doesn't turn off the computer

    Turning off the motherboard by holding down the power button is done via a chip, most likely the Super IO. If it is not turning off after holding down the power button, either the PSU is bad (not supplying enough power to the chip) or the chip itself is bad.

    setting up qos on zyxel p660hnt3a

    Are there any qos rules already in place, i.e. pics of the General and Queue Setup pages would be helpful. I'm a little confused though. Normally you want to give priority to iptv, otherwise the video stream may start buffering.

    Bios

    Go into the BIOS, the default screen should be the EZ Mode setup. Look for a pull down button (most likely in the top right corner of the screen), that would be the language selection field. If the BIOS screen that first comes up is not EZ Mode, reset the CMOS to return BIOS to defaults (which...

    Asus p8Z77-M Pro fails to power

    You're at the mercy of the manufacturer when it comes to RMA's. You didn't ask, but I would advise on a different model. ASUS makes great boards, but that particular one is a lemon.

    ASROCK is misleading their customers!

    I believe ASRock's OC Tuner is software based, so the Vcore setting may be there. Not defending ASRock as that really should be in the BIOS. Sucks if you're going to be running a non-Windows OS.

    If you don't like the look of Metro, you can get third party software to bring back the start menu (free and commercial programs available), Classic Shell is an example.

    After shutdown, computer won't boot unless PSU shut down

    I think it's your PSU. 2A on the standby rail is insufficient for ATX12V 2.2 (minimum 2.5A). A workaround is if you have USB devices plugged in, try removing them.

    That should work. Also, if it hasn't been uninstalled, within Vista, go to Empowering Technology, Acer eRecovery Management. There, you can burn the factory image to disc. Default password is 000000.

    Corrupted Downloads

    Can you download a file from a different computer, copy it to a flash drive and it works on that problem computer? If so, sounds network related. Can you connect to a completely different network and see if the problem persist?

    BIOS update issues with Biostar mobo, computer keeps restarting

    For Biostar flash recovery: Copy the BIOS file to flash drive, plug it in with the computer off. Hold down Ctrl + Home keys while turning on, maybe for a few seconds, then release. If worked, the BIOS will try to flash. You may have to rename the BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM if the original file...

    HP touchpad tablet $99

    LOL, the 16GB version went for $250 on Woot. No wonder people don't announce Woot-Offs over here anymore. BTW Wal-Mart is getting into the $149 TP bundle deal, select HP laptops, online only. Cheapest laptop at $348, bundled with the 32 GB TP would make that $497...

    Can no longer boot into XP Home

    Is the drive FAT32 or NTFS formatted? On the UBCD you can use the FreeDOS boot image to get a command prompt, but I'm not sure if that FDISK version works on NTFS partitions.

    HP touchpad tablet $99

    Starting Nov. 1 online and Nov. 4 in-store, Best Buy will have the 32GB TouchPad for $149. The catch is that it has to be bundled with a HP/Compaq laptop, desktop or all-in-one computer. Not hot, but maybe you can get in on the deal if you or someone you know was already planning to buy a...

    Random Reboots and freezes

    I believe that the mb the OP listed does not have onboard video. I'm going to invoke Occam's razor and say that if you had no problems with the 8800 (until it broke) and no problems with the GT-240, the problem lies with the GTX-560 TI. Doesn't sound like you have another box you can test it...

    HP touchpad tablet $99

    I'm like you, mostly using the browser or watching some vids. It has never crashed on me yet. With the just released 3.0.4 update, the browser is much faster. For video, the native format is H.264. If you don't want to be bothered converting formats, there is KalemSoft Media Player in the...

    WTF can't update motherboard BIOS?

    Huh, well I'm certainly glad you flashed it successfully, I'm puzzled that the @BIOS version that worked you linked here and the version I linked in post #3 here the checksums are the same, yet you said you already had that version in post #4. Edit: I see in post #7 you explain that. Seems...

    WTF can't update motherboard BIOS?

    The newer BIOS are 2MB in size, so if your current BIOS is 1MB, QFlash won't work (I know you didn't say you tried that, but don't do it that way). @Bios and FlashSPI are supposed to work. Try uninstalling @Bios and install again, making sure you have the latest version. Also try resetting CMOS...

    BIOS: Update or don't update?

    Well, I don't know about you, but for me, improve system stability is good. Seriously, it's up to you. Yes, you could wait until you have issues. Yes, there may be more revisions in the future. Personally, I would flash it. It removes that part of the equation if I run into problems later...

    folders shared on my windows 7 PC dont show new items

    Yes, when you copy/move a file manually into the share folder, it should set the permissions you have set up for it. I noticed some programs that you instruct to move files into the shared folder, it would not set the permissions. Maybe the program needs to be run as administrator? I'm not sure.

    It may be that the file permissions are carrying over from the folder where they were created. Try this, share D:\storage\unfinished and set the same permissions.

    can I still get to my files?

    The only thing I can think of that's left is the NTFS boot sector is damaged. I would suggest FIXBOOT at the recovery console, but you can't get there. The next thing I could find was this: http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/node/57 I haven't tried this Rescue Remix though. If this don't work...
