So, I've been having a problem with my PC crashing on me lately. It usually only crashes when I'm playing a game but I've also had it crash when I'm using remote desktop and once it happened when the machine was completely idle and I was out of the room. Usually what happens when the system...

Alright, I just upgraded my videocard from an ATI 9600xt to an EVGA 6800nu and I seem to be worse off than I was before. I play Battlefield 2 mainly and I used to get around 20fps on my 9600xt. With the 6800, I left all of the graphics settings in the game exactly the same as before and it runs...

I have a WD 160 Gb w/8 Mb cache. I have it in a vantec NexStar 2 external enclosure. I have the option to connect it with USB 2 or Firewire, but I mostly use firewire. I've only had this thing for about a month and already I've had all the data on there get corrupted twice. Everything...

I've heard that most KVM switches are pretty craptastic when it comes to playing games. Like they mess up the key strokes and such. Anyone know of any KVM switches that are ok for gaming? Preferably one with USB?

I have an Abit IS7 motherboard and the fan on the northbridge sucks ass. I've had this computer since Jan 1 of this year and already Ive been through 2 of abits fans. The 2nd one is on its way out as I type this and its making all kinds of strange noises and it was completely stopped a minute...

I would like to start using Linux, just to learn about it and so I can put on my resume that I know it. I'm going to be putting it on an extra computer that I have and dont use for anything at the moment. I dont want to make it my primary machine just yet, seeing as I'm a gamer and most of the...

Ok, so I had to reinstall windows. I install windows onto a WD Raptor which is SATA. I also have 2 other IDE drives that I use for storage. I unplugged the IDE drives when I installed windows otherwise it tries to make one of the partitions on them C, which I dont want cause I have stuff on...

While surfing the internet and not paying attention in class I came across this thing: http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/drives/6908/ Could be useful I guess but not for that much money...

What would be the best way to go about gluing 2 pieces of metal together? I tried soldering it, but it didnt work. I'm trying to attach a piece of wire mesh to the front bezel of the case as a fan grill. The bezel is aluminum and the wire mesh is steel (I think). Would superglue be good...

Currently I have a Lian-Li PC65-B, and I was planning on cutting out all of the fan grills on the case because they dont seem like they let in too much air and its pretty warm in my room now. I was thinking of replacing them with some sort of wire mesh similar to a screen on a window, except...

I just got some new fans today, thermaltake smart case fan 2s to be exact, and the screws they came with are a goldish color and my case is black so I'd rather have black screws. Instead of buying black fan screws off some website and paying shipping and all that, is there a more standardized...

Ok, so heres what happened. I built myself a brand new computer 2 and a half months ago. My mobo is an ABIT IS7 and the northbridge has a really huge heatsink with a fan on it. So a few weeks ago, the fan on the northbridge starts making this really loud noise occasionally and if I poked it...

Hello all, I just built myself a new computer and everything seems to be working fine as far as I can tell except for one thing. Whenever I move the case itself when the PC is on, it shuts off immediately. Also, when it's not on and I move the power cord around I hear this electrical...
