    another '' study'' about violent games

    its true that the media can teach you things. heck, if you want to see a case of this go ask a highschool class if they've ever shot a pistol. then ask them to show you how to hold a pistol if they wanted to shoot it. that said- the bigger issue at hand isn't anything about what it teaches you...

    windows isn't installed. i'm trying to get it installed bios does not detect it automatically. model number is wd2500ks-00mjb0 for the hard drive; i'm thinking the sata II transfer rate may be too high for the motherboard and that i may need to jumper it down. the only problem is that i dont...

    *sighs* repairing my friends computer again

    yeh. the ps was working before. it wasn't so much a 'new case' as an old case he put the old machine in. a little confusion there. it was running up til he switched it around. i dont see the led comming on, but i dont actually see it at all.

    possible proc problem?

    thats what i thought too. it did the same thing with the same motherboard before i RMA'd it about two weeks ago. when i got it this time and it happened again, my only thought was "there is something else wrong". problem is, i'm running out of ideas. the chances of me getting another bad...
