    Computer fails to POST sometimes

    I'll reseat everything when I get a chance. My keyboard and mouse are plugged directly into the computer. I mentioned that they don't turn on because it doesn't look like any power is going through any of the USB ports. I have a wireless USB device that should be lighting up as well, but it...

    Computer fails to POST sometimes

    About a month ago, my 1.5 year old build began to have problems POSTing. The hardware: Gigabyte P35-DS3L C2D E4400 Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 2GB (2x1GB) (rated for 2.2V, but running at 1.8/2.2 does not seem to make a difference) ATI X1950 PRO WD 250GB...

    Small upgrade

    I don't want to upgrade right now because if I upgrade I'm going to want to do it right and spend around $1500, but I can't justify spending that much when I really don't game that much anymore. So what do you mean about a real AGP slot? I really just need a little boost so I can play HL2 and...

    22 in. LCD similar to NEC 20WMGX2

    What about a good 24" monitor that would have these features? I want something that will last me a long time. I'm upgrading my entire rig which has lasted me 5 years, but I'm starting to worry about it dying.

    22 in. LCD similar to NEC 20WMGX2

    I just moved into a place that already has dish network, but I don't have a TV so I'm looking for an LCD that is 22 inches, and has lots of inputs so I can connect it up to the dish network box. I'm also planning on gaming with monitor, so a low response time is required too. I'm not sure if...

    E6550 with Gigabyte P35-DS3R

    I have no problem with OCing so I'll probably go that route. What's wrong with the xclio? It seems to be getting pretty good reviews.

    E6550 with Gigabyte P35-DS3R

    Last time I upgraded was 5 years ago and well my system has become sluggish to say the least. I do a few things on my computer: light gaming (CS:S and Farcry are the most intensive it gets), listening to music, and watching movies. I recently graduated and got a job so now that I actually have...

    Weird symbols at bootup

    I turned on my laptop today and it checked through the memory OK etc, but when it was time to load windows xp a few (7-8) random symbols appeared in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Does anyone know what this means? Is my harddrive corrupt? Thanks, -Packin-

    Ya, it looks like some form of papyrus though. I guess it doesn't have to be exactly the same. Thanks.

    Everything Tennis

    Ya, that string has lasted me ever since I got the racquet... so around 4 years. I have noticed that the strings don't shift nearly as much as some other racquets I have used. I can't really afford that expensive of string anymore though, and so I was looking for some cheaper synthetic gut that...

    Everything Tennis

    TripleAAA, I have an i.radical OS right now, which I've had for about 4 years. Recently my string, Gamma TNT Fat Core, broke and I am debating whether or not to get an entire new racquet because I think I'd like to move to a mid or mid-plus. What should I be thinking about when trying to decide...
