    Computer has problems with standby all of a sudden

    I have been using the BIOS for about a month. Standby only stopped screwing up about a week ago. I have had this keyboard and mouse since I built the PC about a year ago. Also, the mouse and keyboard are both using the PS/2 ports, not USB. Forgot to mention that.

    Computer has problems with standby all of a sudden

    So all of a sudden when I put my computer into standby the 3 light on my keyboard stay lit, (num, cap, and scroll lock). When I bring it back from standby the keyboard doesn't work, I've swapped out the keyboard so I know it isn't the problem. Also, when I shutdown my computer and restart it...

    Only time I needed customer service for a case was when the door came broken when I opened it up. Called Antec, they sent me a new front bezel free.

    Recommendations for a VGA HSF for geforce 2?

    So I know this card is pretty much crap now a days with geforce 8 out. But the fan stopped working and it overheats so I was wondering if there was a cheap VGA HSF ($5-$8) that would be easy to install on it. Its in one of my older pentium 3 computers thats just used for old games by my...

    How does my new pc build look ?

    This is exactly what I have but with a geforce 7600GT and its a great build. Skip the raptor and go for 2 gigs of RAM I would say.

    Going to upgrade, which card to get?

    I got another question, I still want to get my 7600gt fixed or replaced, so I forgot Newegg has a 1 year return policy. Am I better off returning it to Newegg or to EVGA?

    Going to upgrade, which card to get?

    OK, so I think something is wrong with my 7600GT so I'm going to RMA it, (how long does this usually take btw?) in the mean time, and to make sure its the card I think I'm going to upgrade to an 8600gts and then maybe have my 7600gt fixed and then sell it. Which 8600gts should I get? Are these...

    ViewSonic Graphics Series CRTs

    I only owned 1 viewsonic CRT, It had a problem with this curvy line going down the screen, sent it to viewsonic for them to fix it, after a couple of months it came back, I through it out and am using an LCD now. Don't think I will ever go back to CRTs.

    Constant freezing in games using Geforce 7600GT

    I'm having a major problem with my PC, its been like this for 3 months, since I built it, but I've just been avoiding playing 3d games on it (the main reason it was built) but since vacation is coming up and I won't need it for school I decided it was finally time to do something about it...

    8600GTS available at BestBuy

    Isn't the 8600GT supposed to be around $180-190? I never buy computer parts from Best Buy, too overpriced. Good to know that these cards are coming though. I'll probably upgrade, my 7600GT keeps freezing.

    Need reasons why draft registration is neccesary.

    Can anyone explain why I need to register for the draft? I mean, if they want to draft me, ok, but why do I need to register? Don't they already know who I am? I mean, I was born here, have a SS#, a drivers license, a passport, they must know this stuff.

    Question about networks (layer 2)

    So do each of the PCs keep a table of IPs to MAC address entries? I understand how a switch knows how to forward to which port, just confused on how the PCs know which MAC address to put in for the DA MAC.

    Question about networks (layer 2)

    This is more of a basic network question. Just curious. If I have, say, a switch and then one PC connected to one port (A) and another on another port (B). They each have static IP addresses, say 192.168.0.1 and .2 From the .1 PC I ping the .2 machine, then the switch knows the MAC of the...

    PC frezzing and unfreezing while in games

    So this is a fairly new PC and randomly when playing 3d games, such as Civ 4 the game will just randomly stop for about a 30 seconds, the sound will jitter for about 5 seconds and then unpause. Now, theres no HD activity and no DVD-ROM activity (because I use my HD to play my games) and this has...

    Is it normal for my CPU fan to do this?

    Yeah, I can't stand all these beeps and alarms and stuff. I took my speaker cable out of my motherboard last night. If my CPU does somehow heat up my computer will throttle or just shut down right?

    Is it normal for my CPU fan to do this?

    Thanks filmore, I'll give that a try when I get home (at work right now). If it doesn't I'll upgrade the BIOS to F4.

    Is it normal for my CPU fan to do this?

    Hmm, don't see how RAM would affect the CPU fan. But I'm not gonna change memory over this since the PC seems to run OK for now. The 120mm exaust fan, video card fan, and power supply fan all seem to run normal, its just the CPU fan that does this.

    Frustrated with MB options for Conroe

    Its true that the box says that but some P5Bs do not have the required BIOS, I coulden't believe it myself that a product would ship saying "Core 2 Duo compatible" on the box but actually not be that I called Asus to make sure. The tech I talked to confirmed that some do not have the BIOS to run...

    Gigabyte DS3 vs. Asus P5b?

    I set up my E6400 with DS3 and 2GB of Corsair 6400 yesterday. Easiest build I ever did. I usually used Asus mobos but some P5Bs need a bios upgrade to use Core 2 Duos which I think is just unacceptable. This made me choose DS3 and I'm very happy so far. Not a single problem.

    Conroe users, don't worry about high temperatures

    How is that your chip runs at 60C and my 6400 at 2.13 with stock HSF runs at 27C idle. This was reported by my motherboard BIOS, is this reliable?

    Best memory setup for E6400

    I could be wrong, but I remember reading 533 was about the same as 667 because the FSB is running at 533.

    honestly im not happy with tank guys anymore

    Well, I have never ordered anything from TG, but I can understand where they are coming. I probably will be ordering from them in the future for the fact that the guy is nice enough to come on other forums to explain his actions.

    Which MBs support C2D and DDR2-800 (1.9V), out of the box?

    I know the DS3 support C2D out of the box, but I'm not too sure about the 1.9v RAM. I bough some Corsair PC6400 1.9v and a DS3 so I will let you know. I really hope it does, or I'm screwed.

    Final opinions before I order this?

    Can the DS3 use memory greater than 1.8V? I was going to get the Corsair 2GB 800 MHz. Will this work with the DS3 out of the box? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820145590

    P5B Deluxe

    How could a P5B not support a Core 2 Duo? It says on the box "Core 2 Ready". I was thinking about getting an E6400 and P5B, I shoulden't do this anymore?
