I'm moving overseas and want to bring my computer. I looked into laptops and was going to get the X220, but I won't be able to get it in time. Therefore, I'm going to bring the computer listed in my signature. The case is heavy steel. Even though it's tiny, it adds a good amount of weight...

I have a new video card. The old one wouldn't let the computer start up (no post again). Bought a new motherboard and have the same problem. I have tried using only the bare essentials when testing the system and still no post. I had this happen years ago with another video card and thought my...

My video card stopped working gradually. At first, the fan would spin faster more frequently. Then, my computer started feeling sluggish. Finally, the screen got pixelated. I restarted and it sort of worked. Then it got pixelated again. When restarting the second time... no post. I had a more...

I bought a replacement mobo (IPILP-AR) and have been trying to get it to work. I can still use my old mobo. I turn on the comp with just one stick of ram, no addon cards, using onboard video and my boot harddrive. It gets past the bios then the blinking cursor. Nothing happens. I tried to...

Background story: asked if I needed a Receiver/IR Blaster. Got one and it works. But the picture and sound quality is shit compared to the direct connection I used to have. I have this huge Motorola cable box. There are no more HD channels either. Is this to be expected from using a cable box...

Using WMC in Windows 7... In my area Comcast has Fox HD sharing the same virtual channel as Univision. Way to go Comcast. I can get Fox HD to work in SageTV, it has two channels for the same virtual number. I would rather use WMC since it looks better. Is it possible to edit the actual...

I just got basic cable from Comcast. I have an ATI TV Tuner 650 PCI. It works great except for one thing... I can't get Fox. Telemundo comes through instead. I'm thinking it may be a software issue. When I first got cable it worked. Then I set WMC (Win 7) to record a show on Fox. I loaded WMC...

Hello all! I haven't posted in quite a while, but I have a problem. I picked up the above card on the Woot! sale. It worked when I first plugged it in and installed "TV_WONDER_650_PCI_DRIVERS_VISTA_VER_20". However it was really jerky. My comp can handle HD video, so I thought it should be...

I've got an HP slimline computer (specs in sig, minus GPU) which has had a problem for quite some time. I've contacted HP and they think it's the CPU or RAM that I've changed to the computer, but I'm not sure that's the case. I think it might be the PSU. So when I shut down the computer, the...

When I open Windows Update from control panels it just stays empty and is completely unresponsive. It doesn't say it's having a problem, just nothing happens. I'm a bit concerned that my computer might not be able to update. I have UAC turned off. I also have somewhat of the same problem with...

Here's my n00b question. It's probably been asked before but I couldn't find it. I have slow 2x512MB PC2-5300 in a computer I'm building. I just ordered some OCZ 2x1GB PC2-6400 RAM 4-4-4-15. The computer in question has XP. Would it be better to have 3GB running at the PC2-5300 speed or...

Hello all, I'm sorry for the n00bish question, but here goes: My machine apparently only supports up to PC2-5300 ram (667Mhz). I saw a deal for 1GBx2 of OCZ Platinum Revision 2 PC2-6400 ram (800Mhz) for only 50 bucks that I'm interested in buying. (see here) So, my question: Would my...
