    Blue screen error help

    Okay, we tried using the MS Debugger. As no minidump file was in his Minidump folder, we're sure it's hardware-related now. We'll try swapping the memory out and let everyone know what happens.

    Blue screen error help

    A friend of mine recently purchased a new computer and lately has been getting BSODs at random, forcing him to restart his system every time. This is the error message he gets every time: STOP 0x0000000050 (0xBA3C0000, 0x00000001, 0x80539856, 0x00000000) Beginning physical memory dump...

    Confused about my E6750's clock speed

    You know, I figured SpeedStep was active, but I couldn't tell for certain. I'd never seen it live in-action, so I wasn't sure if maybe a setting was off or SS was controlling things. Thanks for affirming my suspicions. :)

    Confused about my E6750's clock speed

    My E6750 on CPU-Z I'm using a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (rev 3.3) mobo and Corsair XMS DDR2-800 2GB setup, and this is what my CPU shows to be running at almost all the time (with the voltage going up and down, of course). Now I noticed here and there that the HSF's fan will stop for a moment...

    Problem with WinXP Shortcuts

    The other day I started having this problem with shortcuts. When I want to click on Find Target, I get an error message saying it can't find the location it points to and gives a (null) in place of the target it is meant to go to. I'm pretty sure it's a registry problem but I'm not sure how to...

    Wireless problem

    Ok, here's the problem. Until a few days ago, the wireless connection from my sister's PC to the router was fine and she connected no problem. Now her wireless card detects a connection BUT can't find any sites or connect to anything online. Can't figure out the problem. Hardware: router -...

    Webcam on MSN Messenger trouble

    Norton Antivirus 2003 Yes, I've done scans of ad and spyware with little in terms of results. At boot, only StyleXP, Norton common client apps and ctfmon are set to start. How do I access event viewer? I can tell you after.

    Webcam on MSN Messenger trouble

    This recently started happening for no reason at all. Two days ago I tried using my webcam on MSN Messenger and it caused the client to hang and freeze up. Trying to close it was impossible because it refused to, and for some reason it would then show in the Processes menu that TWO instances...

    TV tuner issues

    Okay, I have a few issues with my tv tuner that I need advice on working around. It's an ATI TV Wonder VE PCI card (oh joy..) and lately it will only show b&w video streams. :/ Also, when I record something with it, the audi and video eventually go out of sync after a certain length of time...

    Pentium M availability

    This is probably a dumb question, but where can you get the 479-pin Pentium M CPUs that work with the AOpen/DFI boards and the ASUS CT-479? All places list any 'retail' ones as 478 -pin so I'm never sure. Any help would be nice.

    Quick compatibility Q

    This is just a "just to make sure" question here, but mobile AMD CPUs are electrically compatible in Socket A/754 desktop boards as their desktop counterparts are, correct? That would mean a mobile AMD processor would work fine in a desktop AMD board, I assume.

    Mobo question about CPU support

    Bump. Specifically need to know for a Biostar K8NHA Pro (newest BIOS says Sempron support and up to 3400+ for 754. Not sure if that'd include Newcastle cores).

    Mobo question about CPU support

    Anyone know if mobos with the nForce3 150 or K8T800 can handle the Newcastle 754 A64s?

    Question about RAM

    How can you tell if a stick of RAM is single or double sided based on given specs? I know some mobos are picky about single/double sided modules, so I was curious as to ways of telling outside of actually seeing both sides of a module.

    Question from an acquaintence of mine

    Someone I know insists on buying a 256MB 6600 instead of a 128MB 6600GT because he feels that more RAM on a card means much better performance and speed. I told him that's not necessarily true all the time, especially in terms of what a GPU can do. Anyone wanna help me explain that to him or...

    Motherboard choice suggestions

    I'm building a MicroATX PC for my stepfather and I've been trying to find out which motherboards support the Sempron 3000+ (the one with 512k cache, not the 256k ones that seem more recent). I don't want to pick something expensive, but at the same time, I want it to be of good quality. Anyone...

    PSU advice

    I'm building an Athlon 64 system for a friend of mine with an nForce4 Ultra mobo, and due to the fact that most seem to require the 24-pin ATX connector, can you guys perhaps suggest some good PSUs that have the connector? Thanks.

    Defective/dead motherboards?

    *feels a little nervous asking* Not sure if this would be in the right location, but as the summary said, if anyone has dead or defective motherboards (and other parts, possibly) that you don't want anymore, please let me know.

    Motherboard problem

    I just recently got an ECS N2U400-A motherboard and I seem to be having a big problem with it. The first time I powered it up, no power seemed to be going to the board but near the CMOS battery area, some thin smoke and that nasty electrical smell came. On the next few tries, the board did...
