 | usually a flickering PSU light means it's either overloaded (by hardware or just old) or in a bad case scenario, is fried  |
| | well, i know pc's can be a expensive hobby so i sorta know what you could get for it. i think in the range of $100-$180 AUD. its a "ok" price.  |
 | it isnt a good idea to try and tap a School network, most school networks are monitored and if caught you could be in a whole lotta trouble. and ive tried hacking with all 3 of my pocket pc's doesnt work!  |
| | i would say your first guess was right, maybe a capacitor did burn out, if you have a fairly good knowledge about these things, pull off the case and check for any electrolyte, if there isn't any, check for bulging capacitors. Still nothing? Just because there may not be any … |
 | Re: Cleverbot AI Haha awesome, but im just going to throw a couple of guesses at how it works. Well, from what i learned, they arent really intelligent at all, they are called "Chat-bots" and they learn from various people around the world, using commands like learn, after saying learn the bot may …  |
| | DDR3 MOBO, and d0ont overclock until you meet cooling requirements |
 | wow you bring up some argument... this is worrying as it could slow the internet to a dialup state in the next 50 years!  |
| | Re: Dead LCD Monitor if the cable is damaged, you will have to get a new one. Not all damage can be seen because inside that big black wire is more wires. inside of one of those wires might be a break. |
| | Re: Geforce 6200 burning ozone? is that sorta like a weaker smell of burning plastic? By the way, it could be any component overheating. my old amd athlon X2 5200+ got up to 100 degrees centegrade. |
| | Re: Desktop is gone try this: i forget what to run but its a program used to edit system startup options, add the following command: Explorer.exe oh yea! CTRL+ALT+DEL and click run, then type in Explorer.exe and hit enter |

| | buy a cheap mobo/cpu and check that way. you can buy a working version of either for around $50 |
| | Re: Intel & AMD ok you want more power? get the AMD Phenom quad-core CPU. make shure its revision B3 models or you'll get hangs during gameplay. fastest Phenom at 2.5GHz (PER CORE!) costs are a little rough ($1000) |
 | Re: New Mobo install 1) a new mobo requires a new install of windows (not in all cases like mine) 2) MOBO might be too old 3) install the most recent bios off a floppy from another pc.  |
| | i have a board that continues to beep when the cpu overheats, and stops when its cool again. |
| | i hve no idea how old this thread is but here it goes, the same thing happened to my pc, i had to replace the motherboard. the HDD would rarely spin up and just about always didnt POST. |
| | try borrowing a new cpu to test this out. if it doesnt hang after a day of intensive application usgage then it is the cpu. MAKE SHURE YOU HAVE PROPER COOLING! if not say bye bye to you'r setup |
| | |
| | i suggest you try to cap you'r price at $500. but since you intend on 300, try out the 7600GS very good card, i used to use one until i got 8800. then i upgraded to 9800GTX. maybe buy the 9800GTX its supa fast and the best bang for your … |
| | hi im just wondering if the Nvidia 9800GTX has 2 GPU cores, it says so on the box but i don't trust it. there is no option for SLI, i cant find it if there is one because i don't know where to look. thanks in advance. |
| | when i was playing C&C 3, the game Hung causing me to try and end the process. the same happens in Colin Mcrae DiRT. im running Windows XP GPU:Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX 512MB! CPU:Amd Athlon X2 5200+ (2.7GHz ea core!) MOBO:Gigiabyte S-series PSU:codegen 530W RAM:1.7gb |
| | did you ever seem to think the motherboard has a faulty power regulator? |
| | |
| | not really, the GPU doesnt suffer much if the games configuration is set for multiple display enhancement in Nvidia control panel. i only have one 9800GTX and it runs perfectly with dual displays while gaming. but with SLI (2 GPU'S in 1pc) one tends to turn off. |
| | anti-aliasing makes those zigzaggy lines in games and things smooth. Anisotropic filtering smoothes the textures so, for example a grass texture will blend nicely with A mud texture. the higher these things are, the better quality you get but also strains the GPU (7300GT). doesn`t worry me though, i have … |
| | to be honest, you cannot run crysis with the current hardware available on the market with all the eye candy. even my nvidia geforce 9800GTX can't play crysis on very high unless its a small map or level, whichever you wish to call it. |
| | hi i have a AWA 81cm tv that has a pc input but i had to use a DVI to VGA in order to get it to work. its max resolution is 1600x1200 but windows only detects 1360x768! i wana know how to max my resolution. |
| | you know, if your laptop has a floppy drive, you could place a copy of the BIOS you were trying to flash onto the floppy (make shure it is a cab or something) then stick it into laptop, then try to boot it or stick the disk that came with … |
| | maybe a bad capacitor on the mobo? my old laptop fried because a cocroach got stuck in the CPU cooling fan's LOL |
| | mabe you havent installed your proper WIFI drivers? |
 | buy a laptop cooling pad, either your pc is too hot, ram is overclocked or maybe something is dying... |
| | hi, this error beep sounds like a RAM error. (most mobos have long beeps for ram errors) what BIOS is your motherboard using? can you get into the operating system? but then again have you checked to see if the fans are working? my motherboard alerts me with 2 long … |
| | your rig is showing something is either being shorted or is dead, might wana check the ram, one good way to check ram is to pull all ram out and leave one in, then repeat witht he other sticks. how old is the rig? what type of cpu and cooler? |
| | did you know that there is a problem with some CD drives as they were sent from japan. it happened to me! i replaced a cd burner with one from samsung and it totally scrambled the ram. |
| | hey its me again! this time with more complex problems... while i was playing driver parallel lines, at the beginning where you have to speed away. as soon as i went into the big park space the game froze... after a few seconds it loaded and continued gameplay. a few … |
| | the cpu wasnt to blame for the bottleneck! did you download the AMD optimizer? is your RAM a approperiate speed? (333mhz wont do) have you got enough ram? i know it doesnt bottleneck because i have a AMD Athlonx2 +5200 (2.6ghz ea core) and it mae fps much higher than … |

| | please help me. i have had my computer for just over a year now and when i went to turn on my computer after school, its fans went to max rpm and only no input signal appeared. then after a few attempts to reboot, it was working again. but it's … |
 | while booting up, press pause/break and it will freeze the screen as long as you like! |
| | to be a little bit helpful, you could try to downlaod Avast Antivirus home edition. this program is absolutely free and has protected all of my comouters since i baught them, it updates it virus database nearly every day, updates are very small (usually about 24KB). after installing avast, run … |
