    Bad partition tables?

    Okay, I made some partitions to be able to get Kubuntu, a Linux distribution on one and do a dual boot system...long story short, that didn't work as planned and it ended up killing windows as well. After a windows partition format and reinstall, everything is semi back to normal except only 2...

    This is why I hate walmart computers

    So...my mother's computer is an HP 552x, with a "P4S-LA" motherboard. It was running like a molasses waterfall so I formatted it, but now I can't find the motherboard drivers ANYWHERE. Not on the NP website, nor the Asus one. (I think the P4S-LA is an oem version of an Asus P4S333-M. Some...

    Artifacting up the yang CSS with new 9700

    Yeah - its new to me. I flashed my card with about six different bioses, to no avail. Looks like permanant damage. I contacted the seller though - he seems to be pretty cooperative. He sending me a replacement card and he also offered me a refund, even though he sold the card 'as is' and it...

    Artifacting up the yang CSS with new 9700

    The clock speeds were actually set under what they should have been for a 9700 (by 10 mHz). How do I flash the bios back to stock?

    Artifacting up the yang CSS with new 9700

    Would it even be possible to RMA it? I'm not the original buyer. If it is, I'd be happy to do that. At first I thought it might be a 9500 modded to be a 9700 (by soldering some of the transistors on the core), but I took off the heatsink and it looks like its an original 9700. Is there any...

    Artifacting up the yang CSS with new 9700

    I'm using the Catalyst 5.1 drivers right now. But I've tried about three different driver sets - none of which work. Is it a hardware problem? Oh yeah - I forgot to mention that I bought the card on ebay...and it was used a little. Would flashing the BIOS help anything? And how would I do that?

    Artifacting up the yang CSS with new 9700

    I just got my new 9700, stuck it in, installed the omega 5.1 drivers, and started playing Counter-Strike Source. To say the least, I got some interesting video fragments. Like porcupine hands and dot to dot all over the walls. Are there special drivers I need to install?

    Jacked Up Subwoofer

    Yeah, its in the front corner. I haven't moved it forever. And I've had the speakers for quite a few months - although I did crank them up quite a bit even when I first got them. But why has it just started doing this? It sounds like it might just be blown out. I sure hope not. How could I...

    Jacked Up Subwoofer

    I have no idea why its doing this, but lately when I turn up my Logitech Z-5300 speakers up past more than about half-way the sub starts to make the weirdest noises. It doesn't sound incredibly awful, just like the sub can't really hit right or something. It used to be tight as a whistle, but...

    Its live! ...uh never mind

    Never mind, problem solved. :) Just reattached everything and it miraculously worked. Of course I had already done that ten times, but for some reason it liked this time better. Figures.

    Its live! ...uh never mind

    I don't think its the PSU because I just barely took out my other motherboard...with which it was working just dandy. I doubt that it miraculously died between then and now.

    Its live! ...uh never mind

    Yeah..the red light is on (on standby) and then when I hit the switch the fans turn (the case fans too) and then go off. The green light blinks on and then goes off real quick. If I hit the switch again without turning the power supply on and off it won't do anything. If I flip the power...

    Its live! ...uh never mind

    So I just got a new NF7-S to replace my old fried KT4 Ultra. I got it all set up and hit the switch...the fans started to move...and then stopped. It seems like it would be something simple, but everything's hooked up so I don't know what the heck it is. The light on the motherboard is on so...

    Wow, this sounds g uh uh uh uh uh ood...not

    Well it never used to do it - and I'm using a stick of 512 so its not like its overloaded. I mean seriously, its just music. I think I'll set the application priority through task manager and see how that works. It really shouldn't be happening though.

    Wow, this sounds g uh uh uh uh uh ood...not

    Okay so I recently updated Windows - and I don't know if that's the cause of the problem - but I'll be playing a song in iTunes and every time I start up a program of any kind the sound breaks up and stutters like a busted record for a sec and then goes back to normal. I thought it might be my...

    What does more damage?

    Yeah seriously...just turn the mutha off. You're electrical bill will be a lot higher than any new components you have to buy four years down the road if it ever croaks for those reasons.

    The DVD Combo Hard Drive Assasin

    I recently bought a CD-RW/DVD combo drive from newegg, and as soon as I installed it I couldn't see my two slave hard drives when I booted. When I go into the BIOS, they aren't even detected - all I see is "IDE-0 @ H'hp 0" where they sould show up. What the heck?!

    Okay...this is starting to piss me off

    All right, I don't know if it's my motherboard or what, but ever since I've had this machine it has a similar problem crop up like ever 4-6 months. It just stops booting correctly, and before long it just restarts over and over, turns on by itself, blue screes, everything. I've got an MSI...

    Just kidding man - just research a little rather than asking questions that can be answered very easily by reading up on it for five minutes.
