    Branded USB Flash Drives

    Hello. I just bought a 32GB TDK USB Flash Drive. At least that's what it says on the outside and on the packaging, which does look genuine. However, under AIDA64, it says it's a Generic Flash Disk USB Device. My friend's 16 Kingston Data Traveler is identified as a Kingston Data Traveler 102 USB...

    Internet through Wireless AP Wireless router

    I would like to use a TP-Link TL-WA701ND (http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?categoryid=242&model=TL-WA701ND) as an access point for all the netbooks and a desktop PC in one of the offices in our building. The wireless LAN is OK so far. However, I would also like to connect the AP to...

    ASUS P5KPL-AM SE LGA 775 Intel G31 Motherboard

    ASUS P5KPL-AM SE LGA 775 Intel G31 Intel Motherboard. Our office just bought this motherboard in order to replace another one which isn't working properly. The CPU is a Dual Core Pentium D 945. The salesperson insisted that is should work. However, when I inserted the Pentium D on the new...

    ECS A780GM-A board issues

    Hi, everyone. I just ordered an ECS A780GM-A motherboard online. When it arrived, the factory-sealed anti-static bag had already been cut open at one end, the board was dusty on the area where the CPU fan blows air through the heatsink fins; there was also dust on the PCI slots. The bottom of...

    BSoDs

    OK, then. It's good to know my other hardware components are still safe. Thanks. I guess I'll have to go to the shop where I bought the 1GB module and get another :D but I'd just like to know - how come this error only showed up now - about 4 months after I added the 1GB module?

    BSoDs

    I recently experienced a weird problem with my setup. It's an AOpen s651m motherboard with a P4 2.8GHz 533MHz CPU. I have a 512MB DDR module in one of the DIMM slots, and a 1GB DDR module in the other. I have had this setup for the last few years (added the 1GB in February). Everything was fine...

    Priority - FSB or Clock Spped?

    I'm thinking of getting AM2 CPUs for an internet cafe - for internet and - naturally - gaming. Initially, for testing purposes, I will be getting a Sempron LE-1150 (2.0GHz 256KB), and an Athlon64 LE-1640+ (2.6GHz 1024KB), and an X2. The X2 will be for the server. The lower the price the...

    ALiveNF7G-HD720P vs. GA-MA69G-S3H vs. 780G motherboards

    Which board would be better to buy - the Asrock ALiveNF7G-HD720P or the Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H? Is the 4x crossfire mode of the Gigabyte board worth getting over other crossfire boards? For the moment, the IGP will do, but I'd like to get a Cross-fire solution later when that luxury can fit...

    Amd690GM: Why can't onboard video play nicely w/PCIE or PCI video cards?

    Don't know what the problem is, but the Radeon X1250 IGP is actually an X700 GPU. Try booting with the 7000 as primary.
