I am running Firefox 2.0 and just yesterday, all of a sudden, whenever I hit my back button the previous page automatically refloads. Never before did this. I rebooted my machine and it was fine for a short period of time, and then started reloading pages again. Am I missing something in the...

I recently bought an AMD 5000BE CPU, and installed it on my Home Premium 64 bit setup. Everything was fine with the exception of losing my WMC access. So I went ahead and reformatted and installed Vista Ultimate 64 bit OS. Now the computer will go to sleep, but will not wake up. I lose my USB...

I just upgraded my CPU to an AMD 5000 black edition and now WMC is not recognizing my tuner card. Device manager shows it working. I reinstalled video drivers and system restore, is there anything I can do other than a reformat?

I have Vista home premium retail installed now with an AMD 3800 x2. I just received my 5000 black edition and was wondering if I should be prepared for a reformat. I have my important files backed up now but not really as prepared as I should be for a full reformat. I want to install this...

Just got an email from Newegg for the AMD 5000 black edition CPU for $81.99, with a promo code for $10 off that. This is one smoking hot deal. BTW I ordered the Arctic 64 cooler for $19.99 before it went up in price for this CPU.

Are Toshibe portable hard drives any good? Office depot has a sale on one for $129.00 for 320gb. Who makes them for Toshiba? Or am I better off getting a WD passport for $139.00 at Costco with a 5 yr warranty?

Is there a way to burn the recorded dvr-ms files to DVD? None of my ripping-burning programs seem to offer that option

Just wondering, the only way I can seem to get tuner info and driver version is through a 3rd party program.

I deleted about 7gb of hibernation files during disc cleanup. Now my UPS software is hounding me about hibernate not being active. I have hibernate set to never on my power plan. So what exactly is hibernate, and do I really need it. My UPS software is set to turn my computer off after a set...

Every time I open a page here at hardforums I get a screen that says "you have chosen to open GBT-030308-des_728x90.swf". I understand this to be a shockwave flash file, and this just started yesterday. Could be a browser problem as I'm running Minefield which is the beta Vista 64bit Firefox...

When I open up the library in WMC the only files it will recognize are VideoTS files. Most of my movie content is ISO which VLC is the only program I can get to play them. I read the registry change here, but don't know if it will work with ISO. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930526

As the reviews always say, lol. I've a string of failed products from Newegg here lately, incompatible laptop ram, bad vid card, and now a bad fan controller. Each time I contacted NE thru live chat, they waived the restocking fee, and even gave me free UPS return shipping. Yesterday they...

I was having problems with my Realtek onboard NIC connecting to the internet after resuming from sleep, so after some advice from the OS section here, I bought a Dlink PCI card from Office Depot for $15. Seems my internet speed is very much improved, I mean I said WOW to myself! That huge a...

Just bought an ATI 2600xt Gigabyte passively cooled vid card. When I first installed it, it was crashing my system, Vista Home Premium 64bit. Thought it was my power supply so I bought a Corsair VX500W. (No regrets there) Put in the new PSU, and still the same problem, artifacts and eventual...

I say yes, there seems to be a trend of these prices going up now. Now is the time to buy, if not too late

I just bought an ATI 2600xt Gigabyte passive cooled vid card. I installed it and booted and installed the catalyst drivers. On reboot I got all kinds of artifacting and then total shutdown. I am assuming this is a power supply problem, ie. not enough power. The reason I went with this card is...

Running Vista Home Premium x64. When I wake up from sleep I lose my internet connection. I am using a wireless router and my laptop wireless internet connection is fine, which leads me to believe my onboard NIC card is the one causing problems. I have what I think are the latest drivers from...

I haven't gamed in over 10 years, and am obviously out of the loop, but am considering getting back into it to a small degree. I am looking for something in the $50 range and maybe up to $100. I am leaning towards ATI simply because of my MB ATI chipset, but am open to Nvidia if compatible with...

Fairly new (month old) Toshiba 215 laptop won't post now. I was installing new gskill ram and somehow the machine will not post. I reinstalled the old ram and nothing when I hit the power button. Did I fry something? I am new to laptops BTW, never had a problem with new ram in desktops before.

Just purchased a Toshiba Satellite a215 S7428 laptop running 2gb of ram. Newegg has a pretty good deal on Gskill 2gb notebook sticks, $39 with $10 rebate, free shipping. Should I buy one stick and lose the dual channel capability, or bite the bullet and buy 2 sticks. I am on Vista 32 bit...

When I click the "sleep" mode from the start menu, my box powers down fine. However when I power back up all I get is my wallpaper in a lower resolution with no desktop icons, or start menu. Could this be a video driver problem? I am running ATI 690 onboard video.

Was reading on another forum about the possibility of data corruption when running my WD3200YS drive in a single drive desktop config, when this drive is meant to be used in a RAID config. All of the RE/RE2 drives have this feature. Apparently there is a firmware fix to disable TLER, and I...

Got home from work a couple of days ago, and my house was hot as hell, around 96F. Hd temp around 43C, CPU temp around 45C. All of a sudden I hear this faint I would say around a four note musical chime. I said to myself this new Vista system is fucking with me again. So I closed all...
