This would be just perfect for a new build I am planning for over the holidays, as you can see, I am very much looking forward to an upgrade after 5 years with this trusty machine.

Well, I am assuming that since everything did power on, including the hard drives and video card, that the power supply is good, save of the very small chance that only the CPU power cord is no longer working? Not sure how I would test that one cable though...

So, I have been asked by a friend to take a look at his nonworking computer and after several hours of testing things I have come to the conclusion that the processor must be fried. I have tested each of the 4 sticks of RAM in each slot individually, reset the CMOS, tested the video card, used...

I used to have my PC (with an ASUS P5K Deluxe) and Intel e4300 overclocked to a significant and stable 2.8 GHz (up from the stock 1.8 GHz). I had a couple fans go out and thus lowered it back down to stock till I could fix that. I now can not seem to overclock at all now. And not just that...

Well, here's the deal, I really need a laptop, and i really can't decide between these two laptops. Any info would be very helpful! I am really interested in the differences in the screens: a 15.4 inch 1680x1050 LCD or the 14.1 inch 1280x800 LCD with LED backlighting... How much of a difference...

Well, i have aquired an older Trinitron monitor that apparently has an "infamous brightness" problem. Have looked up the problem and what i keep finding is that i need to replace one of the resistors, i looked up a diagram of it and found the right one, so now all i need is a resistor between...

I am recently in the need for a rather larger resistor that i can not find at any of the local places, so im just wondering who migh be a good resistor seller? I have seen many different sites selling them, but just wondering if there is like a trusted site that any of you might use or have...

Just wondering if there is anything I need to, or should do, to my motherboard (maybe a BIOS flash?) before putting in the new chip. Also just any other advice on putting in a new proc in an older motherboard would be great! Thanks!

Just put together a new computer, and wondering which i should get, i am using Ubuntu right now and will continue to do so, but i will need windows for school, so just wondering, is there much of a difference in the 64-bit version, not just in benchmarks either...? Are there still a lot of bugs...

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ I really like that Christmas wallpaper! Linky Please...

Never mind guys! Installed Ubuntu over it and everything works fine now, and personally, i like it a lot more than Fedora!

Ok, so i was dual booting Fedora and windows, havent been using fedora much due to the lack of an X-Fi driver (gotta have my music....) so finally notice the release of one...well, tried....but now it loads GRUB (with minimal bash like commands) and cannot find something to boot from. So, tried...

Just wondering what the highest safe temp is for an 8600 GT (eVGA). OCing a little buit and at 44 c now, so just wondering, thanks!

Thanks for the reassurance! I will be getting the P5K Deluxe then. Just for your information, here is everything else I'm getting to go with it! P5k Dlx PC P & C Silencer 610W PSU 2x1gb G Skill Cas 4 Ram (4-4-4-12) C2D 4300 WD Caviar 320 GB sata HDD All in an Antec 900 Right now i...
