Ok I this Acer Aspire 5100 laptop. Just before it freezes it makes a buzz/clicking noise. After this the screen will stay black, or do some random colors. When I reboot it it goes to a black screen, and I have to try rebooting (plug in/unplug) 3-4 times for it to post. I figured hard drive but...

I need to disable driver signing enforcement in Vista x64. The only way that works is if I hold F8 and disable it that way, but doing that every time I boot sucks. I tried the bcedit.exe way, doesn't work apparently due to some update. Is there any other way?

I will be simply playing a game or on my desktop when all of a sudden everything goes black. I am using the 162.22 drivers. The card is still rendering video since I can hear my desktop/game respond to my actions, but it seems like it isn't out putting it. I did a little googling and it seems...

I get the error 0x00000124. It always happens when I play games. Some games I don't ever get it (BF2), well others something (Insurgency) and others it is every 15 mins (TRA). I have done some googling and it has something to do with sound drivers, which I recently updated. I have roll them...

I had this idea about using a coolit tec to cool down my water in my system, I am interested to see if it would be technically do able. So here is my idea. I mod a res so that the loop works like normal, but I add 2 more fittings to allow the coolit to suck water in and out.

I have a 24" IDE cable that is a little too short. I am wondering if there is a way to extend the cable, since I am very cheap :D

Ok just setup my first watercooling rig and in core temp I have 55c idle on stock settings. What is going on?

I bought a 8800 GTS 320mb to hold me over until the fabled r600. I soon after bought a 24" LCD and the r600 didn't turn out yet, unless ATI pulls out a driver miracle. So in this case I am thinking of getting a 8800 GTX since the GTS is under powered for my visual wants. I was wondering if I...

Ok I want to push my cheap 8800 GTS 320mb to its limits. Only thing I am not sure of is safe temps. What temp should I not go over with this card. Just playing around I got to 80c at load.

Ok I can do 400 fsb fine and stable. The only problem is that when I shut it down, leave it for a few hours and come back to turn it on it will not post a 400fsb, it will just cycle, then disable the OC leaving me at 2.4ghz. Any ideas? Highest voltage settings Ram@800mhz and 0.3+v CPU@...

Alright since I have hit my level of temperature limit on air with my e6600 I figure it is about time to go water. Since I am a first time I thought I would ask you guys for some advice. D-Tek Customs Fuzion CPU Water block...

Ok I am trying to hit 400fsb with my 965p+DQ6. I was at one time able to get it to work, but I no longer can since it stopped booting. Anyone know what voltages I need to get 400 fsb with my e6600 B2.

I got my new video card today so I popped it in my evga 680i motherboard, started it up, and all I saw was a blank screen. I checked the card and it wasn't seated properly (Thank you giant zalman chipset cooler.) I seated properly this time, now it will not boot at all. Tried my old 7800, and...

Well I am planning on going to water cooling. I am currently using a P180 which I hear you have to mod quite a bit to get a dual rad config to fit. So I need a new case that is good for water cooling, I would prefer if it was under 250 bucks. Also it has to be able to fit a r600 in it :D

Just wondering if I will see a difference between the 320mb and the 640mb at 1680x1050 with 2-4xaa? I just need something to hold me over until the refresh, so I don't care about future proofing it. I know I am a whore.

I am trying to copy large files (2gb+) files from my external 2.5" to my PC. Whenever I try to copy these files over I used to get a path too deep error. I then bought a new encloser to see if that was the issue. Now I get Cannot Copy Invalid MS-DOS Function. I have tried copying these files...

Alright I figure it is time for WC. I am down to the rads so which one should I get? http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=21450&vpn=DHCSH&manufacture=Danger%20Den http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11300AC7632&vpn=DHWLX2&manufacture=DANGER%20DEN or...

Alright I am had enough of this noisy fan. I need a chipset cooler but I have two concerns. My first being that the south bridge is connected via heat pipe to the north bridge. The south bridge sits right below my video card so geting a higher profile cooler is out of the question. Concern...

A long time ago I won a Big Typhoon. Since I got this in March and there wasn't really true LGA775 support. I was wondering if there are any mods for getting this to fit into my Evga 680i mobo? I sure as hell couldn't get those plastic clips from the stock cooler to work on the bracket.

I have a A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard and today it just went wonky. My computer locked up after playing Oblivion for a short time. Then the audio stopped working on my X-Fi. I tried to reinstall the latest drivers, but nothing happened. Windows could not detect the X-Fi. So I unplugged the sound...
