Hmmm...well, using older drivers didn't seem to work either.

There was something I also forgot to mention as well regarding my computer "freezing". For example, when I watch a video on Windows...

Thanks for the replies.

Regarding the temperature, I use a program called Speedfan to check the temp on my computer. It tells me that nothing on my computer is running hotter than 49 degrees...

Hello everybody.

First off, apologies if this thread is in the wrong section of the forums. Well, as my thread title already states, the problem that I am currently having is that my computer...

Wow. It's been a while since I posted about my problem on this board. (Since I subscribed to this thread, I recently received a message about it on my email)

Suffice it to say, my problem was...

Update: On a hunch, I tried playing an online game at the same time as a friend, and as anticipated there was a little lag, but nowhere near as much as if someone had bittorrent on.

Recently my friends and I got a ADSL line in our apartment. However we often have problems with some our internet connections cutting out for several seconds whenever one of us is using Bittorrent. ...

Hey everyone. I have an ATI Radeon 9500 pro, and I'm just wondering if it is possible for me to diable a feature called SideBand Addressing? I could not find it in my BIOS, and I could not find it...

Hey guys. Throughout my system's life my comp has the tendency to crash at random points (e.g. whether I'm playing a game, or opening my web browser). At first it was bad, but recently it has gotten...

It is 220 MB.

I have a problem with a few video files (mpeg, avi, etc.) on my computer, specifically the timing. For example, when I open up a video file with Windows Media Player that I know is 22 minutes long,...

I don't suppose anyone could give me an idea of what the "average" CPU/system temperature should be?

At first I thought it was a problem with my RAM as well, so (after looking through other posts on this forum) I downloaded a program called Memtest-86 v3.2. I ran the test through three times, and...

Sorry guys I completely forgot to mention one other thing about my computer. In addition to freezing, my system often also gives me a blue screen of death (my comp used to just restart after a...

For the past couple of years my computer has been randomly freezing up on me. I know freezing something that happens to everybody’s computer every now and then, but lately my computer will freeze up...

Thanks for your help guys. I've pinpointed the problem as being a faulty power supply. I replaced my old 350W supply with a new 400W one. I was able to play Doom 3 for a little over 1 hour and 20...

No one has any ideas?

I tried uninstalling and unplugging my DVD-RW cables from the system. At first it seemed to work. I was able to play Doom 3 for a little over half an hour before my computer restarted/crashed. At...

Sorry. I forgot to mention my OS: It's Windows XP Proffessional edition, with Service Pack 1. I'm going to wait a bit to install service pack 2.

Here are my specs:
Motherboard: MSI 648 Max series
Power supply: 350W (I think)
CPU: P4 2.4GHz w/ 533MHz FSB
RAM: 512MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM
Video Card: ATI Radeon 9500 Pro w/ "Doom 3" Beta Catalyst...

I tried out your method, but unfortunately it still gives me that message box.

Oh, this is not a virus scan. It's just checking if there's anything wrong with my hard drive. In any case, Disk Doctor won't run properly even in safe mode.

Unfortunately this problem of having to reboot my computer to fix errors still happens after the reboot.

I heared from someone that this problem may occur because of the way my hard drive is...

Hey DMR. I tried what you said, and I noticed the "read-only" attribute was checked. But when I unchecked it and applied it to all my folders, for some reason when I look and my folders' properties...

Hello, this would be my second posted question today. Anyways, I wanted to scan my hard drive using Norton Disk Doctor (from Norton Systemworks 2002). But when I check/click the "fix errors" button,...

I am not sure on the permissions. I have never actually manipulated them before, and to be honest I have no idea how to check them.

Also, I get different error messages when I try to open a file....

Hello. Recently I have been having problems with moving files around on my computer. For example, let's say I have a file called "x". When I try to move file x from folder A to folder B, when I try...

I downloaded this program called MemTest86 to check my memory. I ran all the tests up to test #7 three times, and it came up with 3 errors (one error in test #4, and two errors in test #5). Can...

Hello darkshadow (and everyone else helping me).

I’m just wondering which windows settings you’re referring to that I should correct?

I checked on my motherboard’s site, and it says that...

Hello rasputinj (or anyone else who can help me).


I’m just wondering what you meant by disabling sound and taking off anything else (e.g. do I disable sound when playing games) and how do I...

Back in May 2003 I got a new computer with these specs:

Pentium IV 2.4GHz
512 PC 2700 DDR-RAM
ATI Radeon 9500 Pro Video card
MSI 648 Max Motherboard w/ integrated sound card
40 GB Hard Drive...
