    Help with HP Pavilion dv6 not turning on

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6135dx that has stopped working properly. It refuses to turn on most of the time. When it does turn on, I have to boot Windows to safe mode, then restart and it works perfectly fine until it goes into any kind of power saving mode or is restarted again. It acts the same...

    Is there a better laptop for me?

    I currently use an Acer Aspire One 722 (AMD C-60, 2GB, upgraded 60GB SSD, 3.2lbs) It's fast enough for all the usual stuff, but I would like to be able to game a bit on the go. I'm specifically looking for something than can play Guild Wars 2 decently at low-med detail. I'd like to stay at 4...

    Where to get one of these?

    Thanks for the info. I didn't realize J&W had no US retailers, thought they were just uncommon. Guess I'm going with the Zotac board and keep my E8400.

    Where to get one of these?

    Anyone know a respectable place that stocks this board? Only one I ever see is geeks.com, but it's never in stock now. If not, is there another good 780G board with a PCIe x16 slot?

    THE Hydra Demo

    Just got around to reading the reports and posts about this thing. It seems quite promising if they can deliver. I have one question though that I haven't seen asked anywhere. Would this chip be capable of being put on and add-in card by itself ?

    MSI 8800GT OC(660MHz and 1900MHz GDDR3) $177.98 final (AR + shipping) - Chiefvalue

    Sorry, I probably shouldn't have used the word 'identical'. I don't think the manufacturer of the cards matters. But it does have to be the same GPU core. I'm not using SLI so I can't say all of the exact limitations on it, but I'm sure it's in one of the articles here.

    MSI 8800GT OC(660MHz and 1900MHz GDDR3) $177.98 final (AR + shipping) - Chiefvalue

    The 8800GT (G92) and 9600GT (G94) are actually the same architecture, just one missing a few SPs and such. But no, as of right now Nvidia's SLI only works with 2 identical cards.

    Compaq laptop $299.99 AR (plus shipping)

    I can confirm the $80 shipping cost. And from what both of my local Office Depots say, NONE of the stores carry these in stock. They must be ordered, which they say take 10-12 business days, and you must pay the rediculous shipping cost

    Antec Solo case $40 shipped AR

    think I'm going to send back my Aerocool i-Curve and pick this up. I was very unimpressed with the Aerocool, but I know first-hand that this one is a solid and quiet case extra hot too for the people that haven't gotten in on the earthwatts PSU deals Edit: Just call the 'egg and got a...

    Antec EarthWatts 500W PSU $40 or $35 after MIR ($30)

    I just called them and they were very quick to give me a "one-time exception" and refund the $15 difference. FYI: I ordered the unit 1/17 and received it 1/21 (the day before the promo)

    Building a new system, just give me the OK

    thanks for the replies everyone. i picked that particular case because i like the looks and the size is perfect for my desk. i have a rather small space for my tower. My current antec NSK4400 just barely fits. i was originally going to get the Cooler Master 750w but i'm not sure how...

    Gigabyte GA-P31-S3G I'm building a new system pretty soon and was considering this board. Was originally planning on a DFI P35 board but this has everything I need at ~$40 cheaper. I'm looking for something inexpensive, but able to overclock an E4400 (free thanks to a good friend)...

    Trying to decide between two cases

    Thanks for the input guys. After much debate, I think I'm going with the Aerocool i-Curve. Primarily because of its size. And being as plain and flat as it is, my friend may finally have a use for his roll of carbon fiber :) And getting the Cooler Master 750w previously mentioned to go...

    Trying to decide between two cases

    Thanks for the recommendation but the case is about 2.5" deeper than what I can use. This is my biggest problem with getting a case. I've seen the power supply mentioned in a few threads. I think I might bite on that one. And I will never buy an Arctic Cooling product again. Had a...

    Trying to decide between two cases

    I would prefer to buyer higher quality case and PSU as I don't plan on OC'ing very much and both cases include 2 fans. The CPU as of right now is sitting at 2.9GHz just fine. What did you have in mind ?

    Trying to decide between two cases

    Sorry. I guess I could have been a bit more informative. Looking for something fairly quiet. That is another part of why i chose these cases. They both include 120mm fans. I will be overclocking a little. My cooling budget is basically $0. I will be using a stock quad core HSF (not sure...
