    Motherboard repair question

    I am continually amazed at what you can find on Newegg, don't get me wrong. But Newegg isn't selling any 939 motherboards at the moment. I don't hold that against them, there have been 1 or 2 advances in processors, RAM and motherboards since I built this computer in 2005. I tested all the...

    Nope, no buldging capacitors. Look like I'm selling my stuff. Anyone want it?

    Motherboard repair question

    I hadn't considered selling my parts to raise funds, seems like a stupid oversight now though. I didn't notice any obviously scorched parts when I inspected either board. I wasn't looking for buldging capacitors though. I'll give that a look when I get home.

    Motherboard repair question

    I know the answer to this question, but I thought I'd ask just so I can say I exausted all possibilities. I have an old Asus motherboard, an A8V-E Deluxe. It stopped posting completely at random a few weeks ago. I replaced it with another 939 board I borrowed, just to make sure it was the...

    Fan controller

    I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find it. I'm building a new watercooling system, and looking for a fan controller, but I'm having trouble finding one that does what I want and is reliable. Requirements: 1: At least 1 temperature probe 2: Ability to power at least...

    X3 terran Conflict

    I just got X3: Terran Conflict and I know this is a dumb question, but I'm having a hell of a time finding stations. To be specific, the quantum tub fab in Argon prime. Is there a table of coordinates for all stations or a mod to show all stations on the map? Also, how do most people use the...

    Game With Your Spouse Or S/O?

    My wife and I game together. She has very specific kinds of games she likes, as such, I can only get her to play Age of Empires and AoE2. I'm still trying to learn her 'rules' for a good game to get her to branch out. She didn't even like Dawn of War. If anyone can suggest a good RTS based...

    The Risk of Waiting for Windows 7

    I hesitate to feed the trolls, but what the hell. Yes, I'm a complete moron. I installed it and ran for about an hour to make my lifelong decision..... Of course I gave it some time. I gave it about a month. During this time I used the computer heavily. Which was a lot of fun since it...

    The Risk of Waiting for Windows 7

    Until I see a reason to double my system RAM and still decrease my performance, yes, I'll wait for Windows 7. PS: I already have a copy of Vista Ultimate, got it for free, didn't like it, went back tro XP. IF I have to format my HD again before Windows 7 I MAY try Vista again, but don't...

    Official: Diablo 3 is Coming!

    You know, I take this forum for granted. I just checked out the link to the diablo 3 fan forum a few posts up. I made it 5 posts in and couldn't stand it anymore, those guys ARE idiots. The very premise of the thread is stupid as well. Diablo 3 will not require a system upgrade, unless you...

    Apple's Latest DRM Will Restrict Your Wardrobe

    Words can't describe. I just can't figure out where companies get the idea that they can police how there products are used. I'm sure someone will give a counter example, but it seems to be only in the tech industry. Clothing companies don't try to restrict what you can wear, ie t-shirts...

    Windows XP Service Pack 3 good or bad?

    I installed SP3 on my computer with no problems, and don't notice anything different. I installed it on another computer and it crashed it, physical memory dumping, and endless rebooting. I started up in safe mode, un-installed it and it worked fine again. So it's kinda up to you. Edit: oh...

    Next-gen Xbox Speculation Summarized

    What credibility does the President of Crytek have in the video game arena? He's a moron trying to edge his way into gaming and turn it into a big money business. I honestly consider anything he says as him jockeying for credibility so he has somewhere else to go when Crytek goes down in...

    Diablo 3 wish

    I'll agree with this part. If they can find a way to make the enemies respawn when you can save at any point without having loading screens, I'd be all for it. If my only options are D1 where you get 16 levels of enemies and that's it, no backtracking for a little boost; or D2 where you save...

    Diablo 3's in trouble

    I think the opinion of most Diablo fans is the same. Blizzard has never made a bad game. They have never let there community down. Most will buy whatever Blizzard makes in their particular genre of interest. I bought and played WOW, and admit that it was a good game. It didn't have...

    NVIDIA Reports Problem With Laptop Chips

    If AMD and ATI are team red and green. and Intel is team blue. What team is Nvidia? Yellow? oh, and don't kid yourself Nvidia sits on whatever there next card is until ATI announces theres and then trumps them. They've done it every generation since the 9800(ATI). Do you really think...

    Diablo: Hellfire

    What ever happened to the expansion for the original Diablo, named Hellfire. I can't find any mention of it on the Blizzard website. Did Blizzard not make it and/or disavows it's existence?

    What is Diablo?

    Possibly, it's hard to tell sometimes. Especially since I've been reading so many threads lately where people actually take that point of view.

    What is Diablo?

    ^----- Target market for the GTX 280 and Crysis, Assassins Creed, Age of Conan, ect. A pretty game is not always a good game, and a good game doesn't have to be pretty. Starcraft is so privative you could probably make a Flash version of it, but it is still bought, sold and played worldwide...

    What is Diablo?

    They've been talking about a new loot system in D3. You see only what you can pick up, and each player sees something different. "Loot is now generated per player. You only see the loot that you can pick up, which Blizzard hopes will create a spirit of cooperation." I'm really excited...

    Official: Diablo 3 is Coming!

    The fact that the devs said in the Q&A session that they haven't even nailed down a skill tree or inventory system should be a dead giveaway that it's fake. Also, how hard is it to take a video and throw a pause screen in the middle? Did you notice that when he pauses it, the keystroke and the...

    Official: Diablo 3 is Coming!

    OK, here's something that I worry about with modern RPG's. Titan Quest was a great game, could possibly have been a Diablo replacement, if not for the static levels. The greatest thing about both Diablo games was that the levels were randomly generated, you would never get the same map twice...

    Official: Diablo 3 is Coming!

    People really hated paying for extra content that much? Well then, f that idea. What if the paid and free worlds were separate and couldn't interact? Would you guys still hate it?

    Official: Diablo 3 is Coming!

    shoulda woulda coulda, the fact is it's not. I agree that online content for largely single player games should be free, the fact is, most of the time it's not, and when it is, it usually stinks. hell, I can't even think of an example because I don't care about online play, I personally know...

    Official: Diablo 3 is Coming!

    I'm sorry I didn't mean to mis-represent. I want them to keep the feel of the original 2 games. A deep and meaningful single player world and the option to go online and experience the same thing with other people, hell it could even be a different world online, that might be interesting...

    Official: Diablo 3 is Coming!

    That's not the same character, the nose piece is to blunt on yours. To be honest, it looks a little like Magneto. I know it's not, but the helmet design looks similar. I took another look at where that image came from. Yeah I'm sorry to say it looks like it's the Lich King. I'd be the first...

    NVIDIA: Consoles Don't Threaten PC Gaming

    I don't understand this guy. The only possible defense for his comments is that PC gaming was dieing anyway. PC gaming is dieing, and it's NVidia that's killing it. Well, that's probably a bit harsh, it's the forced hardware upgrade to play each new game that's killing it, and NVidia is the...

    Enemy Territory: Quake Wars; Why don't you play it?

    In my opinion, it failed because it came out at the wrong time. They announced it's development and right after EA announced BF2142. EA dropped support for BF2 and rushed the development of BF2142 to beat Quake Wars to the market and it showed. BF2142 was probably a good game, eventually, but...

    Sony PlayStation Reaches into Qore Gamers' Wallets

    Even if I had a PS3 I wouldn't go for this. Why do I have to pay $2.99 to find out if I want to buy a game? In addition, It's not like any of the news that they will be offering is going to be exclusive to their "episodes." I don't see the point, M$ offers the same service for free why is...

    is hellgate worth getting now?

    I've been playing HGL for about 1 day now, and i can't get it off my mind. I'm not a big fan of online gameplay with people I don't know, or PvP, so i can't tell you if it's good in that respect. The single player campaign in great so far though. All the elements of the game need to be...

    Anyone else just buy games and never get around to playing them?

    I sometimes do this, but the games always get played, sometimes by my room mate. I started Super Mario Galaxy, but he finished it before me and I haven't bothered finishing it. Same thing happened to Metroid Prime: Corruption or whatever for the Wii. I bought and he beat Shadow of the...

    Seagate Files Suit Against Rival

    I'm a little confused. Are they suing because STEC uses an interface that they have a patent on? or is it something with the coding? This must be some dam interface to cost 7 billion to develope and never use. Why doesn't STEC just use a different one? what's so special about this interface...

    How long have you been in to PCs and what was your first Rig, Favorite Games on it?

    I first started with PC's in 1997 on a 300 MHz e-Machine playing Diablo. I played pretty much only Diablo until Diablo 2 came out. After the massive let down that game was, I branched out into other games, and discovered the marvel that was the RTS in C&C : Aftermath. After that I discovered...
