    The ATI 4850 Hates Me.

    I recently got an ATI 4850 to upgrade one of my pcs and I just can't get it to work. All of the issues seem to be driver related. I first tried booting with win7, it installed the WDDM drivers and then refused to boot. It would either freeze or show me a bluescreen that said something about...

    Is it even worth having a paypal account?

    About 4 years ago, I sold an xbox360 on ebay, and I was a few days late shipping it out. I explained everything to the guy but he was still a bit pissed. So I shipped it off via USPS priority w/ delivery conf. but about a week later he cried to paypal that he never got it. I loaded the delivery...

    Windows 7 games resolutions

    I'm running an e8400 with a x1900 xt and every time I try to change the resolution in a game (it has done the same with every game I've tried so far), it just makes the viewable screen smaller. I'm stucking playing whatever is used by default. I've tried the WDM and the ATI driver, both do the...

    Paypal balance pending... what the hell does this mean?

    So there's a pending balance on a paypal transaction I've received, it says: "The money for this payment is being temporarily held in your pending balance. It will be held for up to 20 days. While it's being held, it won't be available for withdrawal. We'll move the money to your available...

    Need your opinions: Phenom 9600 or E7300

    Alright, my friend is into audio engineering/editing/production and he needs me to build him a new pc since the one he has now is an older single core AMD. I'm fairly sure what the answer to this is but I thought I'd get a few outside opinions before placing the order. I'm wondering if it...

    Google checkout woes...

    I have accepted money via google checkout and apparently it has charged their credit card, but that was last week and the money is still not in my bank account. Is there something that I am missing about this? Does it take an unusually long amount of time to reach my bank account?

    My sister's husband...

    So I was at my parents' house last week because my nephew was over there and I hadn't seen him for months. Unfortunately, so were my sister and her husband. This guy is a complete douche, he seems like a wife beater and no one really likes him from my family and from the kid's father's family...

    Intel Core Duo Commercials

    I never really hated intel before, but now I swear to never buy their processors again. Why? Because of these stupid fvcking commercials. Especially the ba-di-bu-ba-di-da-di-ba-di-du-bah-bah one. I now have burned images in my brain of annoying people dancing to crappy music.

    New PC wont start.

    Just built a new pc, hooked everything up and it wont power on. I press the switch and get nothing. I tested the psu on an old athlon setup and it runs fine... Also thought it might've been the switch on the case but that tested fine too. So either I'm doing something wrong, or something else is...

    So I bought a rebel XT...

    So I bought a rebel XT online (with a 18-55mm lens + a 512mb card) and got the UPS tracking numbers today. There are two packages and according to UPS, one is 2.00lbs and the other is 1.40lbs. Does this seem right? Should I have any reason to worry? It just seems a bit small to me...

    Cordless mouseman-don't know where spring goes

    Picture I took my cordless mouseman apart to clean it and this thing came off (it was connected to the wheel, somehow). The wheel works without this spring but it's killing me that I don't know where this thing goes.

    Z-560 subwoofer rattling.

    A few days ago, my subwoofer started rattling when too much bass hits it. I don't know if something's loose in there or what. They're refurbished therefore I don't have any support. Any ideas?

    Can't control mouse

    Sometimes (most of the time) when I try to move my mouse, the cursor jumps around all over the place. I tried using a different mouse but it still does it. I've checked my machine with Norton, spybot, and adaware pro but they don't find anything.

    Can't find ide1 devices

    My system, for some reason, wont see any ide1 devices. I've tried replacing the cd-rom with a different one. This happened before when I had a different system, and it magically started seeing the cd-rom drive a few days later. :confused: The only thing that I did before it stopped seeing it was...

    How do you pack a cpu?

    I'm shipping off a cpu tomorrow and I'm pretty sure it will get there safely but I'm just really nervous about it... Have any of you ever sent a cpu out? How did you pack it?
