I decided to buy Battlefield 2142 Deluxe Edition from EA's website. Everything went smoothly in the account creation, it even said the account name I chose was not taken. I downloaded the game and patch through EADM (Electronic Arts Download Manager) and installed everything. It all went...

I, for one, thank this man for one of the most important computer games (IMHO) ever created. Without him many people would agree that Half-Life wouldn't have lasted as long or been as successful as it has been. Now where the hell is he?!

I've decided to upgrade my memory, but I need to get rid of this stuff first. Works great, ran 1.9v for about a month now, never overclocked, timings stock, and memtest passed. I don't have a heat account or anything because this will be the second item I've ever sold on these forums...

I may have this all backwards but its worth asking. I read somewhere that if you have ram rated at a certain speed and then lowered the speed it you could lower the timings a lot more than leaving it at stock speed. Now, my motherboard supports memory up to ddr2-800. I have 4GB of this...

This will be my first SSF computer used mainly for gaming at LAN partys. I've done some research on the subject but I need an outside opinion. Here's what I have so far: Shuttle SX48P2 E Intel E8400 EVGA Geforce 8800GT G.Skill 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 800 WD VelociRaptor 300GB Samsung DVD Burner...

I started a new build but I enlisted instead. 1. The E8400 is OEM, unused, and not in its original box. I'll let it go for $175 shipped. 2. The memory is four unused 1GB modules running at PC2-6400. I still have the retail boxes with the anti-static plastic still unopened. I'll let these...

I Have: Cable Modem, WRT56G Router, and WAP54G Access point. I want to avoid buying a wireless card for my desktop or sending a wire from my router to the desktop. Is there anyway to connect my modem to the WAP then send the connection to the router and connect it wired to my desktop?

It starts out like this. I have had my old 6800gt for a long time, if I had to guess 2 years now. Up until recently it gave me absolutely no problems. What started to happen is when I was in game my entire screen would artifact and I would have to hard restart. Upon restart my display drivers...

I am currently modding a case and I had the idea of creating a custom circuit board to make my life a little easier. But then I said to myself, "HEY! I don't know anything about electronics!" So I'm sending out an S.O.S. for anyone skilled in this area that is willing to help me out. What I...

I recently tryed to purchase this desk off of their website, but soon found out that they slap a $300 shipping charge along with other tax fees. I will pay the retail amount, which is $130. I perfer black but any color will do. Also if you have one or two swivel shelfs I will buy thoes too.

I've had a 6800GT for over a year and have never experienced this problem before. I formatted my computer and got all the drivers (84.21, same drivers I used before the format) and updates squared away. I noticed that my teperature was around 78 degrees idle, 10 degrees more than before I...

First of all I have never posted a problem like this here so if I am in the wrong forum then please redirect me. Yesterday at around 9PM CST my comcast cable internet stopped working, I checked ipconfig to find out that my computer was not communicating with my router. So I went in and setup...

I posted this in the amd motherboard section, not much help there. I recently bought the neo2 platinum motherboard and the amd 3500+ winchester processor. I have 2 ide hard drives, one is an 80gb (keep windows on this) and the other is 250gb (used for storage). Normally after a format I have...

I just bought a new motherboard (msi k8n neo2 platinum) and processor (amd 64 3500+ winchester). With my old setup my 6800gt would never go above 72-75 degrees full load according to the temperature settings, but now I've seen it go up to 81-82 degrees before whatever game I am in (world of...

I just bought the neo2 plat. motherboard along with the 3500+ winchester processor. I have 2 ide hard drives, both maxtor (80gb and 250gb). After every reformat I have to use the maxblast boot disk to install the DDO (or whatever) so my computer can recognize my 250gb hard drive. But since I got...

Some of you may know that a snow storm passed through Arkansas yesterday and gave us about 4 inches, and last night before I went to bed I opened my window because I like my room cold. I told you that to tell you this... This morning I woke up to weird noises coming from my window. I...

I just recently upgraded from an 9700pro to a PNY 6800GT. Being with ATI for so long, I dont know if this is the same way with every nvidia card, or just a problem I have. The problem is that the video quality on avis, mpgs, and any video file is pretty bad. With ATI the video quality was pretty...

First off, dont kill me because this is a last resort for me, and if this a re occuring question, just tell me (be kind :( ) So I have the Athalon 2400+ XP and decided to do some over clocking. I am using the asus a7v600 board with the newest bios update (1006). I want to go for 333mhz FSB by...

I just put into my computer a new motherboard (Asus A7V600), cpu (athalon 2400+), and new memory sticks (1gb corsair). I reinstalled windows xp without any problems. After the reinstall I rebooted as told to and when I go to "windows xp is loading" screen it takes me to the "you have incorrectly...
