    Have you googled them, and tried uninstalling them? Also, laptop brand, OS info, location of files, etc.

    [Updated] New motherboard dies overnight?

    It's possible, unfortunately. Was it, by chance, near a carpet or something else that would conduct static electricity?

    Peer Guardian is blocking all internet on my laptop; matica.hr??

    I have peer guardian installed on my laptop for preventative measures, and it seems that I'm not allowed to get internet anymore. However, when I try to run firefox, opera, etc. it blocks all attempts with a range of "matica.hr" Help is very much appreciated.

    What's a good DVD burner and media?

    You know, we (the community) should make an FAQ on the best parts for each category (CPU, mobo, drives, etc.). We'd need to have three or four selections per category, so there could be a budget level, mid level, high leve, and possibly uber-extreme-awesome level ^_^

    A little cheaper would be appreciated. I'm looking for <$60 USD, and the cheaper, the better.

    What's a good DVD burner and media?

    I have a flashed HL-DT-ST GWA-4164B to GSA-4166B, and it works alright, but I'd prefer one with better out of the box support. I also have Memorex DVD-R (Ritek F1) which suck.

    Would need some advice for this extreme rig!

    You're better off getting AM2 if it supports quad-sli (I'm not quite sure), but wow. Just wow. It can definitely support the Dell, but I think you need a special adapter or something for the Apple.

I've tried using the recovery console, which hangs at the hard drive selection screen...

    Windows will only boot successfully in safe mode, not regular mode

    I don't see that folder in C:\, but the computer booted fine. I don't have memory dumps enabled, so it wouldn't make any sense. However, if this happens again, would you mind if I contacted you before posting on the boards?

    Windows will only boot successfully in safe mode, not regular mode

    I recently restarted my computer, and at the user screen, nothing showed up, except the cursor, and after a few seconds, and hourglass, then it went away, and then the computer rebooted. I allowed the comptuer to do this 5 times, and then I turned it off and restarted in safe mode. Oddly...

    Would there be a problem if I installed NOD32 with bitdefender?

    I currently have BitDefender 9 Pro and ZAP installed, and I was wondering if installing NOD32 to have an extra scanner would create problems. Any ideas? Also, a n00b question: I know that some BitDefender processes are running, but there's no icon in the system tray. Is that supposed to...

    Will someone help me with nero?

    Long story short, I tried to upgrade 7.1.4b to 7.5.4, and it told me to click "ok" to uninstall the existing nero software (which I had already done, in addition to deleting the folder in app data and program files), then reboot. Upon rebooting, I got the same message. Will someone help me?

    I can't get nero to install correctly

    Long story short, I tried to upgrade nero from 7.1.4b to 7.5.4. I uninstalled 7.1.4b first, then ran the installer for 7.5.4. When I ran it, however, it said "you already have nero software installed on this computer. Click ok to uninstall it automatically, or cancel to uninstall in...

    Where can you even buy 140mm fans?

    I'm probably going to buy one of the CM Stacker 830s, and the stats say that it can contain 4 140mm fans on the side door. I've checked my basic suppliers, but I can't find anyone with 140mm fans. Links are appreciated.

    problems with AV8

    Ok, so my friend tried booting up his AV8 vanilla with no proc, and gets the messages "83, 87, 9D 9E 9F" I found out the those 9 codes mean forced power off, and was wondering what they meant, if anyone knew. Also, he was wondering if he'd have to flash the bios for the AV8 if he got a 3500+...

    5 120mm fans

    OR...i could use a pure sodium gas to supercool the computer, and if too much gets in the case, the pressure could rise high enough to crack the case, and let in oxygen, which would ignite the sodium and blow up everything within 50 feet.

    5 120mm fans

    consider this: I use a nitrogen gas fed in through 3 of the fans and exhausted through 2. I use a special polyurethane coating that does not crack under super low temperatures, but is thin enough to transfer heat. I need the fans to regulate in and out a certain amount of this gas so that the...
