    Computer beeping. All the time. But nothing seems "wrong". - SOLVED

    So, continued to diagnose... I decided to turn off my computer, open it up, and get at it with a compressed air can. I shut it down and could still hear the beeping. I pulled it out of the desk cabinet and picked up my 1TB western digital external passport hard drive that was sitting on top of...

    Computer beeping. All the time. But nothing seems "wrong". - SOLVED

    @Denis280: I went under computer management - system tools - event viewer - application and service logs - hardware events. And it is completely empty. @Charlie98: No, I do not have an UPS or battery backup. In my continued researching online with other people having this same sort of...

    Computer beeping. All the time. But nothing seems "wrong". - SOLVED

    I have had my machine for 1-2 years now. And a few months ago, it started beeping occasionally. I originally thought it was a heat issue, but I am not overclocking and I am seeing no adverse effects (other than the beeping). It is similar to this thread...

    Will I still be able to use it as a wireless connection? And will the computers connecting to it get their ips from the DSL modem (just passed from the WNR2000)?

    Dual monitor question - GTX 660

    Hello, I just built a new rig that includes a MSI GTX 660 GPU. I was running my current monitors (two) on my old machine with a four year old Geforce card. The new card has the two dvi outputs but the one on the bottom is missing the four holes around the horizontal pin so I cant plug it in...

    Honest RAM question - which is better?

    Seems to be split between just spend the extra money and get the "faster/better" RAM and others saying no point to it... decisions, decisions... I think if the sale is less than $40 a stick I will just get the cheaper RAM...

    I posted in here first then figured I would get a better response in RAM forums. I tried to delete but dont see an option to do so (only edit). Why can't we delete our own posts? If a mod would like to delete this thread, please do so...

    New gaming rig build - any input?

    Thanks guys, I had actually ordered on Friday afternoon about an hour before Zap posted that the 660 is worth paying a little bit more than the 650 and I was kicking myself.

    New gaming rig build - any input?

    "Haswell" all one word... ok. I googled it. But released June 4th... and then when stable and available? I dont think I can wait that long... not to mention, if you waited for the "next best thing" in the computer industry, you will never buy anything lol. Soon as you buy, its out dated.

    Advice on new rig details

    Ok, $220 it is. LAST question. I was going to get an inexpensive 7200 rpm HD and my friend is telling me I really should get a 10k rpm drive because his is "lightning fast". The drive I am looking at is over 3x more expensive: Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB 10000 RPM 16MB...

    Ok, I finally saw the bundle (missed the check box to "see all combos"... I was only seeing the first one listed). I ordered the corsair 4gb ram and the P5Q Pro/E8400 bundle this morning. Still havent decided on the video card. Which one of these? EVGA 896-P3-1260-AR GeForce GTX 260...

    Advice on new rig details

    Thanks for your input. I will take a look at the gtx260s if they arent too expensive... Good idea about the retail package having Nero, I will keep that in mind. Do you happen to have a link to the P5Q Pro/E8400 bundle for $250? I looked under E8400 and the P5Q Pro and didnt see it. Only...

    Value your input about new gaming system

    Thanks for replying! I saw the Antec Sonata in the builders sticky thread at the top of the forum. It's currently $99.99 with $19 shipping. Is it really worth twice the cost of the Dynapower with same 500W PS? The RAM is only $40 for 2gb. I thought it was a pretty good deal. I am going...
