I had a hard drive that I had not used for a few months. It is a Western Digital 1TB Black drive. This past week I plugged it back into my dock and it had been working fine. Last night, purely out of some weird curiosity of "hey lets try this" I used the Windows "Error Checking" tool. In...

I'm looking for a new burner, I think mine is nearing the end of its life. Is this a good burner: The Asus DRW-2014L1T. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135156 I just want to get a good one. I usually buy liteon due to the price, but they're all cheap these days and...

I just picked up a second HD. It's the Seagate SATA 1TB ST31000340AS. Well I connected it, and it shows up in the bios with the correct model number and everything, but the drive is missing in the Device Manager, and it doesn't show up under Disk Management. I've tried partition magic too...

I've been using this computer for a little over a year now without a single problem. All of a sudden about two or three weeks ago my wireless connection keeps dropping in speed until it gets to 1.0 Mbps. It'll start at 54, drop to 48, then 36, eventually to 1. Even when it's saying it's at 24...

Ok so I've got this older system that I used to use. Whenever it has been off for a while so that it's booting up cold and not just a restart it ALWAYS without fail bsod's after a couple of minutes. However, after this first crash, it's rock stable indefinitely passing all sorts of stress tests...

My Logitech G7 mouse becomes laggy whenever I am downloading at high speeds. I have a belkin wireless router, but I had the same problem when I was using a linksys router too. I have tried switching channels on the router but it doesnt really seem to help. I have also tried putting the router...

I have a new Canon Mp210 installed in my main home machine. All of the computers are connected to a router (4 total machines). I can print fine on the machine that the printer is installed on but I cannot add the printer on any of the other machines. The machines are on the same workgroup on the...

So my girlfriend spilled water on my keyboard one night. I never knew, and when I tried to use it later that night a number of keys don't work anymore. Is this keyboard done for? Is there anything I can try to save it? Weird thing is that she typed an essay on it after the spill, but the keys...

Are the logitech z5500 speakers discontinued? It seems like a lot of stores I look at are sold out without any ETA for new stock. You ususally see this when an item is new with limited stock, or if its on its way out...so I was wondering if Logitech has discontinued this model.

Title says it all. Who owns this keyboard? I'm looking for a wireless keyboard and I like the looks of this one a lot but I'm not too sure about the feel of it. It feels like the keys travel a lot shorter distance. Does this bother those of you who own it? For me these are my choices...

I need a wireless keyboard and need to know which are good ones. I guess I kind of want a logitech since my mouse is one too.... The most important things to me are battery life and multimedia/gaming functions.

Although each has it's own thread, I created this to get some clear discussion about which one each of you guys prefer and why. So far here are the pro's and cons as I see it: Benq: Good -looks great -HDMI -Good picture quality and response time -Supports 1080p over component, hdmi...

Ive had a G7 on an Icemat 2nd edition now for a couple of weeks. It has been working perfectly for this time. Just last night, around 2am, my cursor started randomly freezing. The cursor becomes unresponsive, and simultaneously the DPI light on the mouse goes from the top most light (which I...

I have a G7 and an Icemat. I was wondering, since I have some hyperglide mouse skates for the G7, if it would be worth it to replace the stock skates? The stock ones seem pretty smooth to me and I don't know how much, if at all, the hyperglides would decrease friction. What do you guys think...

I'm about to place an order for a black logitech G7. I wanted an MX Revolution, but it doesnt look like it would be that great for gaming. Any advice before I place the order?

I look at peoples computers here and other boards and they are insanely neat, some with hardly any cables or wires visible. I desparately need to tidy up the case, theres wires everywhere. I've got a P180b....please help

Does anyone have any word on whether or not Benq is going to fix the 1:1 mapping issue on their new 24" LCD through a new revision or something? I'm about to email them but I thought someone here probably has already talked to Benq or knows more info. I've been waiting months to get it but the...

I don't know much about how firmware works for hardware. I really want a new monitor, and I was looking forward to getting the Benq, but the lack of scaling is a BIG issue for me since I plan to use it with my xbox 360 and other equipment...plus I have an ATI card. So do you guys think it's...

I've got this old mouseman dual optical mouse, and I think it's time for a change. I'm really torn though I'm not sure which one to get. I'm thinking about the following: Logitech G7 Logitech MX Revolution I do play games, so that's why I'm considering the G7. I think the MX would be...

Like the title says, what is video overlay? Is it hardware based? For example for those of you who use video lan media player, there is an option that says "use video overlay" and it proceeds to say that this is some form of hardware acceleration, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what it...

Okay I posted this over at the vlc boards but nobody has answered me in over a day. I'm running a C2D E6600 with an ATI x1900xtx so video playback really shouldn't be a problem. But here's my story, sorry if it's a little long. This most concerns mainly playing back 1080p or 720p hd content...

I downloaded the patch. I have an ATI x1900xtx and catalyst version 6.9. Do I just set the setting in oblivion to no AA, turn HDR on then just enable AA in the ATI catalyst control? I ask because I do this and it seems like it isn't working too well.

Ok I bought an antec p180b from outpost.com a few weeks ago when they had their sale. After getting the product (it was on backorder) on sept. 22nd, I was able to build my computer by sept 29th. As soon as I did though I found that the front usb port on the case was broken. I could tell it was...

I posted this in the optical forum but I dont think there's much traffic there since it hasnt been any reply and its been hours. Maybe you guys can help. I have a plextor 716A that I've transferred from my old computer. I thought that my slower burn speeds were due to a slow system but now I...

I have a plextor 716A that I've transferred from my old computer. I thought that my slower burn speeds were due to a slow system but now I know that's not the case. I get only 8x max burn speeds when I should be getting higher. I am using verbatim media with azo and also sony media. I have even...

Okay so I tried to transfer my hauppague pvr-350 to my new computer I built which is on a P5WDH in an antec p180b...but it won't go in all the way. Only the end that is near the front of the case (farthest from the pci opening slot in the back of the computer). The side that is adjacent to the...

I have a hauppauge Wintv-pvr-350 and I don't really like wintv2000 that comes with it. What else can I use that will be better than that program?

I just got an msi x1900xtx and from what I've heard these fans are supposed to be loud but it seems to never increase its speed even when doing things like 3dmark06 that should be heating it up. I hear the fan when I first turn the system on, but it immediately powers down to it's lowest...

Have any of you guys switched out your stock cooler on your x1900xtx card? I hear it's very loud and was wondering if any of you have put in something more efficient/quieter?

I'm almost done getting the parts for a new build. It's going to be E6600 with P5W DH and x1900xtx. I plan to overclock, and maybe get crossfire later on. I've been looking at the Corsair 620 the seasonic S12, and the upcomming M12. I've read seasonic makes the corsair, so the question is should...

I'm looking for a heatsink for the p5W DH DLX. Will the Scythe Infinity fit on this board? I hear it's a good cooler and I want to use it.

Okay so I've been looking at getting the G.skill 2GBHZ memory because of all of the great reports on how good they are and how well they overclock. But they are priced at about $270 at newegg. Only problem is I just found some Crucial Ballistix (BL2KIT12864AA804) that come out to $190 AR on...

I need a new card and I'm wondering which of these would be better. Should I go for an evga 7900GT or an x1900XTX?

Ok so last time I built anything was about 4 years ago when I built what I'm using now....an Athlon XP 1900+, It's gotten me this far, but I'm starting to get really bogged down. So I'm looking to upgrade. At first I still had my previous bias of using only AMD...until I actually took a look at...

I was considering getting this. I need to upgrade from my Athlon xp 1900+....and was looking at this board to go with an E6600 but it seems to be sold out at many places. Is it in that high of a demand?? How long do you all think it's going to take until it's available easily without a crazy markup?
