    No video, no beeps

    For all you Facebookers'

    Game transfer from rig to lappy.

    My sister is getting a nice laptop for Christmas. She wants to take BF2142 and GW with her to college. So instead of re-installing, I was hoping I could just link the two computers together and transer the files directly from my V64 rig to her V32. Is that possible, or is re-installing a...

    Getting ready to purchase lappy.

    Asus lappy. The resolution is 1280 x 800 on a 14.1" screen. What is this comparable to? 17" non-widescreen monitor? How big of a screen are we talking here? Just trying to see if I should spend the extra $50 to get a slightly larger screen.

    Somewhat noobish PSU question.

    I have an Antec TPQ-850W PSU. I just can't say no to a GTX280 anymore and I hope to be ordering one from the Egg sometime next week. Anywoot, the GTX280 requires a 6 pin and an 8 pin connection. My PSU has 2 of both but my question is; Does it matter which 8 pin and 6 pin connector I use...

    I think my graphics card took a poop on me.

    I gave my old gamer to my dad so he can play Civ IV on it. Recently he turned it on, and everthing turned on, but he said it beeped 8 times and there was no video. I turned it off and on several times, same result, 8 beeps, no video. It's an old Athalon 2.0 Can't remember the mobo. In Win...

    Motherboard on board video...Yay or Nay?

    Hi all. Building a computer for my non-gaming cousin. Trying to keep the price down. Since he doesn't game, I'm looking for a mobo with decent on-board video that also supports Intel's 45nm LGA 775. Any no-brainer recommendations for a good mobo with on-board that would support an E84 or...

    DVD+R/W CD/DVD HALP!

    This DVD drive..... it will read and write DVD's and CDs correct? So there's no need to buy an additional cd rom drive and this burner. Would that be a better setup? Been out of the loop for a while and I'm throwing together a build for my cousin. I'm no expert on cd drives and I just...

    Professional Advertising gripe.

    You'd think you could not screw the date up? Enter to win by June 3th? Normally I'm pretty easy going when it comes to grammar errors, especially in forums. Newegg is quite a large company. Can they not hire a competent editor? Does this bother anyone else? No? So it is just me then...

    Should I double memory?

    DDR2 800 just went on sale uber cheap. I've already got 4Gbs in my current system. Would adding another 4Gbs do anything performance wise for me? Can Vista64 use 8Gbs of memory? Or should I save the 80 bucks for something else.

    Processor Fan Question

    I just installe an AC Freezer Pro 7. Works wonderfully. Q6600 idles at 37,37,38,38. One thing that worries me is when the temps are this low, the fan cpu cooler shuts off, and just sits there and spins a little every so often. Is this normal? I was going to set it to a certain speed in...

    My FFOW rant

    EDIT: FFOW = Frontlines Fuel of War For those of you saving 50 bucks for this game.....keep saving. I read reviews saying how the single player story mode felt like a console and that was an understatement. Even on max graphics everythinged seems kind've cartoony. I haven't finished...

    Title says it all. I'm looking to get another HD and put the latest version of XP so I can run some older files and games. My other HD was a snap, just plug it in, boot disk, etc. What can I expect when I plug another SATA drive in? Would I have to unplug my current drive to install the OS...

    Eve worth it?

    I just bought Sins of a Solar empire. Love it, great graphics, immense gameplay. I have 12 hours or so logged on one save game in a 20 planet system and I still only control 5 planets. Epic. Now, I'm having a renewed appetite for space games and I want a more fps style space game to play...

    IRQL Not_less_than_or_equal_too

    Had my new rig for about a month now. Just starting BSODS with the above messages. Googled and found out it could be any number of things. One of the more common was sound driver errors. That made since because I just bought Barracuda headphones with plug and play drivers (didn't come with a...

    GA-P35-DS4 R2

    After I had two BSODS with the same error; IRQL Not_less_than_or_equal_too I Googled it and narrowed it down to a sound driver I believe. That makes since because I just started using the Razer Barracuda headphones which recommended I switch my audio to 5.1 speakers for best performance. The...

    Question about this mobo

    Can this board run DDR2 800? The FSB is rated @ DDR2 1066/1333, but will it downclock to DDR2 800? I was reccomended to go with the 800 because it's cheaper and I can get 8gbs of 800 for the price of 4gbs of 1066. Is 1066 worth the price? I'm ordering my new rig before Christmas, I don't...
