    Counter-Strike: Source Internet Listen Server

    try sv_lan 0? If you just put that into your autoexec.cfg file in your regular cs:s folder (cfg folder for source-based games, I believe), then it'll automatically execute it whenever you launch CS:S.

    Nvidia Card Will Not Install

    What exactly happens when you install the driver (screenshot, perhaps)? Are you just running nVidia's driver installation program, manually going into control panel -> add hardware, or device management?

    My first rig. Ever.

    With the CPU cooler you're putting in there wouldn't it make more sense to get a 3200+ and just OC it to 3500+ speeds? I'm able to get a stable overclock with the exact same cooler as the one you're ordering and push my CPU up to 2.35 GHz. ^ That is if you're planning on overclocking. Just...

    BIOS problem?

    The V5.0 BIOS is supposedly official, as it says nothing of it being a beta on the US chaintech webserver. The last official BIOS was V4.0, which I just reverted to and everything worked fine again. So I've concluded that something with the newest BIOS has caused conflict with programs like...

    BIOS problem?

    I've recently upgraded my motherboard bios (in my signature) to the latest release from the chaintech website, V5.0. After having updating it I tried to run a couple of programs such as CPU-Z and the NTune utility, and both programs freeze my entire computer and force me to perform a hard...

    Memory question

    Right now I'm looking into getting more memory, upping my total amount to 2GB. I'm wanting to upgrade my system due to the onslaught of future games that are coming that'll probably require more raw system power in order to run at a great/decent graphical quality. My current memory setup...

    Help! Chaintech VNF 4 Ult, not booting

    Is this your first time building a computer? If so, then I'd probably suggest the basics. Did you use stand-offs when placing the motherboard in the case(you don't want to screw them in so tight, that may ground the motherboard)? Did you connect the power supply to all the slots on the...

    ATA Controller Questions

    I've updated all the old drivers up to the most recent version and upgrade the BIOS to the latest release as well. So all of that stuff is taken care of. As for enabling it, I've done so in computer management (is this what you're asking?). And in my system BIOS, I don't see anything with 'SCSI'...

    ATA Controller Questions

    Yes, it is a PCI card. And why would I buy a SATA HDD (it's too late now that I've already purchased an IDE HDD and have loaded/activated Windows on it) that's $80 or so when I can just spend $25 on a PCI ATA Controller? Link fixed.

    I built a computer for my relative this past March and I hit a small obstacle on the way. I bought her this motherboard and it only contains two IDE ports. The setup I have right now is one DVD/CD-RW optical drive set as a slave and one Hitachi IDE 7200RPM HDD as the master. The other connection...

    Beginning with C++

    Heh. :D Those books look pretty good but it seems from the reviews regarding Bjarne's (you spelled it correctly by the way) book that it's not ideal for those beginning with the C++ programming language. Effective C++ seems like a very good book that I'll probably end up getting so I have it...

    ATA Controller Questions

    I'm not really familiar with external closures. I assume you just stick an HDD in there and connect it via USB and you can then access the information on that one and the internal hdd? Another question that popped in my mind, is FAT32 compliant with NTFS? In the sense that it's possible to...

    512 mb vs. 1 gig

    One aspect that I've noticed in comparision between 1024MB and 512MB is the fact that games close a lot faster (and obviously load faster as well). Before with 512MB it would take 15-20 seconds to close the game and restore my windows desktop (and even after that I'd have to wait awhile until...

    Which motherboard!? ;_;

    Are you planning on adding another 6600GT in the future? Or are you just going to stick with one GPU throughout your use of the motherboard? If so, then I'd suggest the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum. I haven't had experience with either of the boards you've posted, but I've heard good things of the MSI...

    AMD and Intel on same mobo

    How the heck are you supposed to be able to use a decent heatsink on the AMD board? It seems like with a fair amount of weight applied it could break the darn thing off. o_0

    Can you run SLI mobo with just one card?

    Basically there's an SLi connector card that's located in between the two PCI-E x16 slots. The card can be pointed either to the right or left. One way will say Non-SLI and the other will say SLI (self-explanatory). When it's in non-SLI mode it directs all bandwidth towards one PCI-E x16 slot...

    Installing windows on a SATA drive...

    At the beginning screen when you boot off of a Window's Setup CD you will see something in the bottom of the screen that says 'Press F6 to load third party SATA drivers'. Most likely your motherboard came with a floppy disk that has the SATA/RAID drivers on them. Just stick that in and load them...

    Most popular defrag program?

    Eh, I'll just stick with the built-in Windows defragment utility. It's nothing special, but it gets the job done and it has never given me any troubles. Although I s'pose my vote was biased considering I've never used any other program. :P

    MY BRAND NEW COMPUTER!!!

    What I'd try first is removing the motherboard from the case (with everything still connected), and place it on an anti-static bag. Then turn it on. Usually when that happens (in my case anyways), it just meant that I tightened my stand-offs too much, or there was a stand-off in the wrong place...

    VNF4 Ultra Question

    I've been hearing mixed emotions about the VNF4 Ultra's reliance on a 24-Pin ATX Power Supply, and I know that it's not required for the computer to run. But I bought the MSI NX6600GT video card to go along with it, and I heard that if the video card doesn't have its own power supply connector...

    First build, help!

    Well, from my experience (which isn't too much :P), there is usally a DIMM slot which is considered the single-channel mode. You may have stuck the RAM somewhere else which wasn't compatible with this mode? I don't know. This is all of course taken from my thread posted a month or so back...

    First build, help!

    I had a similar problem to what you're facing now, and the hardware that turned out to be the culprit for me consisted of the memory modules. It turned out that my particular mobo only supported a certain configuration (32x8 or something of the like) that I was not able to meet. What I'd do is...

    memory

    If on one side you have 8 memory banks (16 in total), then it has a x8 configuration. If it's 512MB then it's considered 32x8 = 256. If it's 1024MB, then it's 64x8 (and again, this is for EACH side, not both). */Edit*/ Sorry, I misread what you asked. If on your memory module you have 8...
