Would using a strong magnet count as physical destruction? ;)

thank you very much

I have 2 HDD's in my computer, an 80GB one with my OS and a 200GB one with all my junk. I just formatted my main HDD and now my secondary HDD is screwing up. After I formatted, when I restarted the computer windows started scanning the drive and flew through every file in the HDD saying...

I just formatted my HDD and had to re-install my LAN drivers for my motherboard but I seem to be having a lot of problems with that. There are 2 LAN ports on the back of the motherboard but when I install the drivers from the CD only 1 shows up. It will say Local Area Connection but no Local...

Read most of that sticky and still had the troubles of messing around with the a8n-sli motherboard. Guess I will just have to keep trying to figure it out. That sticky has so much information in it that's it's a little overwhelming for someone just learning the basics of overclocking

I'm trying to overclock my X2 3800 right now but can't quite figure it out on my A8N-SLI. I want to set the multiplier at 10 and the FSB at ~240 but I'm not sure what, if any changes I need to make for RAM. A friend of mine thought that maybe the way RAM is handled with CPU overclocking has...

I have one. Just upgraded to the ASUS A8N-Sli Premium. Wanting to get rid of my A78N-Deluxe for pretty cheap. IM me or PM me if you still want it.

Assuming that all of the other hardware is functioning properly, I would say that is a dead CPU. Other than the fact that your computer will not start up on either motherboard, I don't know of any other way to test if it's dead. Sorry

I'll have to keep an eye out for that next time. Most of the time though, the screen flashes only for a second before it automatically restarts.

My guess would be that your computer wouldn't start at all. Or, are you talking about a cpu that is more or less "dying" rather than "dead?"

About a week ago, late in the night we had a storm with a lot of wind where I live and a transformer fell into the road from a telephone pole and we lost power. This was about a block from my house and I could hear loud buzzing and popping from that thing as it lit up the entire neighborhood...

Going to have to side on the reason that it is because most of the world is right-handed. Same reason the mouse is always on the right side. I think designers made an efficient design. When you use your calculator, do you use your left hand or your right hand mainly? I am left-handed, but...

OK. got the WRT54G. Now what 3rd party software would you recommend? I'm not worried about voiding the warranty, just want better firmware. Any suggestions?

My highschool was very non-stereotypical of the jocks, artsy, etc. crowds. Being on the football team didn't make you popular, and being artsy wasn't "un-cool." Not exactly sure what it was that made people "cool" in others' eyes, but to me, a lot of the "cool" kids were complete jerks, and...

I just recently got my warlock to lvl 60 in the beginning of summer and the game has just gotten better IMO. I'm not always constatly struggling to stay alive everywhere I go, don't have that need to gain experience anymore, and I can just log on and play around with some friends for a while...
