    i7-3770 (non-k) idle temps?

    I've just finished a new build with the 3770 (not k) on an ASUS Sabertooth Z77. No software at all is installed, no OC, and I'm using the stock cooler for now. I'm looking at BIOS and it has been showing temps stabilizing at about 39C (motherboard is at 30C, room temp is about 22C). I've...

    PC Freezing on High CPU Load Only

    Overview of the problem 3-year old home-built PC freezing when under heavy load. Full description of the problem and symptoms I built this PC three years ago just for fun and to test the Vista beta. It runs fine until I use some software that really taxes the CPU (e.g., HandBrake...

    How do I use includes on GoDaddy?

    So, I've been creating a new Web site. In one section of it, I have a table of contents div that uses a list of pages in that section. I would like to have the table of contents imported from an html file in the same directory. You can look at a page here to see an example of the TOC. I use...

    Vista EventLog: i804prt Error

    Every time I reboot my Vista system, I get the following error message in the Event Log (System section, Event ID 7026, Source: Service Control Manager Eventlog Provider): From what I can tell from Google searches, this seems to be related to using a USB keyboard (and maybe mouse). Mostly...

    Fingerprint readers

    Our IT department has recently gotten pretty strict with our password policies, so I've got a bunch of passwords that have to be changed regularly, and they have to be "strong" passwords. I can use RoboForm for the Web-based stuff, but it doesn't appear to work for regular applications. So...

    Vista Resolution Independence

    Ok, I've had Vista Business RTM (legit) for about a month. One of the features that I was really looking forward to is the resolution independent interface. I thought that this would mean that I could run my monitor at its full 1600x1200 resolution, but make everything the same size as it would...

    Can I use two Logitech MX1000 Mice?

    I've got two PCs at the same desk (sharing a monitor). On one I have a Logitech MX1000 wireless mouse that I really like. Most importantly, I like the fact that it uses a recharger rather than normal batteries. For the other PC, I have an old wireless Microsoft mouse that I now hate to use...

    Vista Resolution Problem

    I just installed Vista RC1 on my C2D E6600 system. The graphics card is a 7600GT from Gigabyte. My monitor is a Dell 2001FP LCD. The problem is that Vista installed into 1600x1200 resolution, but it only took up the right two-thirds of the screen. Changing the resolution to 1280x960 makes it...

    Temperature Question

    I just built a new system with the Gigabyte 965P-DS3 mobo and a Celeron D 351 (waiting on a C2D). Using the stock HSF, the BIOS is reporting temps around 70 C after running for awhile. However, using either SpeedFan or the EasyTune 5 software, I get a CPU temp of around 50 C (at idle), or 60C...

    New Build, Couple of Questions

    Hi guys, I just built a new PC based on the Gigabyte 965P DS3 mobo and a Sonata II case. I bought a Celeron D (3.2 Ghz) processor to hold me over until I can get a Core 2 Duo. Everything seems to have gone very well. It fired up (literally!) on the first try and and got Win XP installed...

    Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 CPU/RAM Question

    Ok, I haven't built a PC since the late 80's, but I've been using/upgrading them since about 1983. Essentially, I'm a newb who know just enough to be dangerous. I'm buying the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 MB in hopes of using a Core 2 Duo. However, I really prefer to build this machine in the next...
