    I need a game that will blow me away

    Well, I bought a new computer recently, and now I'm picking up different games that I previously couldn't run. The problem is, I'm not having particularly fun. I need some game recommendations, and no, it doesn't need to be brand new or have extreme graphics and nor does it have to be a certain...

    Upgrade package installed - Computer no longer works

    I just put in a new mobo, CPU, RAM, video card and harddrive. When I turn on the computer it starts up in a really odd way. The fans begin to speed up as normal only to turn off briefly (probably half a sec or less) and then begin to speed up again. It does this repeatedly until I turn off my...

    Please help me select memory (two options)

    I'm about to buy myself a Phenom II X3 720 BE to go along with a Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P. I will do some overclocking but nothing too serious. The whole point of this setup is basically to get good performance at a good price today and be future proof with the AM3 socket and DDR3 memory. This...

    Wrapped like a bow

    So English is not my native language and I'm trying to comprehend the meaning of this expression. Does "wrapped like a bow" mean that something is perfectly made? Anyone care to explain this expression further to me?

    Very strange ISP issues

    So I'm in Brazil for a few months and am using a mobile Internet (that works like crap, but anyway). I have come across a really strange problem, one that my ISP refuses to acknowledge no matter what. That's why I want your help, so I can tell them what the problem is, since they say there is...

    Sharing connection between Vista and XP

    This is driving me INSANE so any help would be extremely appreciated (before I go blow up Microsoft). I've been trying for the last 14 hours now to get connection-sharing working. I'm two laptops, one with Vista with SP1 and a wireless modem connection connected through USB. The other laptop...

    ASUS chipset fans

    I don't know what the heck is up with ASUS and their chipset fans, but it's seriously pissing me off. My previous computer had an ASUS motherboard in it, and the chipset fan began making huge amounts of noise. I had to oil the thing 3 times before I got the darn thing to be silent, only for it...

    Need an AGP card recommendation

    A friend of mine is going to update his video card as he's still using a GeForce4 and don't want to buy a whole new computer just yet. He's got a 2.2Ghz P4 and some crappy cheap 350W PSU. I bet he won't really need a 512MB card since I've heard it's a bit overkill for an AGP card, unless you...

    EZ-Plug necessary on A8N-SLI Deluxe?

    I just connected a second 7800GT to run SLI on my ASUS A8N SLI-Deluxe. It now says something like "please connect the EZ-plug on your motherboard" when I turn the computer on. I've made a little research about it and apparently this plug is there to supply the motherboard with some extra power...

    Why doesn't my 7800gt o/c anymore?

    I have an eVGA 7800GT which runs at default 470/1100. When I bought the card a bit over a year ago I overclocked it to 504/1200 and it ran just fine at those settings for several months, after which I had to reinstall Windows due to a virus. I've now had the card running at default settings for...

    Remote controlling client behind proxy

    I'm trying to learn a few things about proxy servers and have a question I haven't been able to find the answer to: Is it possible to gain remote control over a client computer behind a proxy server if you use a trojan (i.e. the trojan on the client initiates communication with the outside...
