I've been having a strange problem with Windows XP SP3. Basically, whenever my RAM usage hits 50%, no new programs will open. Explorer windows wont work, audacity will give me a "cant create window error", new firefox windows will just display black. Also, when I unlock my computer after it's...

I have a Corsair 620 HX powering my main rig. Specs are: Core 2 Duo E6750 Gigabyte P35C-DS3R EVGA 8800GTS 640 OCZ Plat. XTC 2x 1 gig Creative x-fi Xtreme Music with 3 WD 250gb, 2 Seagate 320gb, and 1 WD 500gb hard drives and a Samsung CD/DVD/Lightscribe burner, 6 120mm fans on a fan...

I'm having a very strange problem with firefox (and a few other programs) in Windows XP. If I click on a link in a program other than firefox, the program I clicked the link in freezes completely for a minute or 2, until the page opens up in firefox. I've reinstalled firefox a few times, and...

A few days ago my system shorted out on a few molex pins, but it seemed to work fine. Then one day, after shutting it down for a restart it started freezing on the POST screen, and eventually not displaying anything at all. After a while of restarting and CMOS clearing I got it back up, got...

http://microcenter.com/ scroll down below all the vista crap and you'll see it This is online and in retail stores, (at least the one near me) pretty much every PSU, Motherboard, and PCI-Express graphics card they carry is 20% off. (as well as external drive enclosures) This makes a few...

You guys seen this yet? I did a quick search, didn't see it posted. http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=7738&page=3 Coolermaster GeminII @ coolermaster-europe.com saw this at silentpcreview, thought I'd bring it over here as well. looks like a beast don't it?

Alright, here's the deal. I've picked out ram (OCZ 2x512 DDR2 800), PSU, CPU (E4300) and everything else I need for a system but I can't decide which motherboard to get. I was all set on the Gigabyte DS3, but I've heard there may be ram voltage problems. The OCZ ram works at 2.1 volts, would...

Anyone know anything about this board? I'm building Core 2 Duo rigs for me and my dad over Christmas, and I'm pretty much set on everything but the motherboard. Originally I was looking at the Gigabyte DS3 and the Asus P5B, but I'd rather go with the nVidia chipset if it overclocks as well. I've...

http://anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2539 Geforce 6100 integrated graphics for motherboards, and it outperforms my geforce 4. It's time for me to upgrade. *sob* Yeah, I just thought I'd post it to let people know. Decent benchs too.

I want to watercool when I get a new system, and I have a few questions to ask. Do you have to use special liquid, like the stuff from DangerDen, or can you mix it in with say, distilled water, or just use plain distilled water. Can you use car coolant liquid? How often would you have to...

I recently got a new hard disk and stuck windows on it, since my old one died. anyways, i couldnt find the SBLive! installation cd, so i downloaded the drivers from creative. this worked great, except I can't get creative diagnostics, and I dont have the creative system tray icon, it's still the...

Yeah, My hard disk was making click-whine... sounds repeatedly, then my computer started freezing. And now it won't boot off the hard drive, and won't even detect it most of the time. It's a 5 year old WD 20 gb drive, so I guess it's time has come. I'm thinking of turning it over to a freind of...

Yep, another 'look at my parts and tell me if they are good' thread. Mobo 1 Mobo 2 Power Supply CPU Ram ***warning, sucky parts below*** Aaaand a refurbished x300SE hypermemory. This is only because I don't have enough $$$ at the moment to buy an x800xl or a 6800GT, and I'm...

Alright, you can look at my sig to see my pc specs. I'm hoping to upgrade around the end of summer, but until then I'd like to get as much as possible out of my computer. I'm already overclocking my graphics card by about 100mhz (275 mhz to 370 mhz), and I'm wondering whether overclocking my MP...
