I have a computer that is a few years old. after moving it, it won't turn off. it will go through the shutdown process, and power down for maybe half a second, than come back on. at first i figured it had to do with one of the cables connecting the front power button to the motherboard, but i...

how many times should it turn on and off? the manual just mentioned that it would do it once the first time to reset the cmos or something like that. After it kept turning on and off every few seconds for a couple minutes I would turn off the computer.

I just built a computer for my friend, and it won't turn on. When I hit the power button, the fans that are connected directly to the power supply turn on for a few seconds, than off for a few seconds, than back on for a few seconds and keeps repeating. nothing plugged into the mobo turns on. I...

I live in a dorm room and will be gone for a few weeks. I want to be able to monitor my room with a webcam over the internet. my question is about software. I am interested in the higher end ones with pan and tilt, but it is unclear how it works. I know I can easily sit at another computer and...

I am looking for an application that will display audio output, similar to the way windows task manager displays cpu usage. I cannot find anything, does such an app exist? any info would help. thanks

I have been trying to get the Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard, but it is sold out everywhere and has been for a while. I need it by august 25th, so im looking at other options. what would you suggest to be the best core 2 duo botherboard? (must have DDR2800) any suggestions would be great. thanks

I am buying the Asus P5W DH Deluxe along with a Core 2 Duo E6600. after reading some reviews from newegg, It seems that the bios version that comes with the board does not support conroe, you have to get a bios update. my question is, how do i update the bios if the only proc that i have is the...

I used to agree with zdude untill a week ago when I walked into a Tweeter store and saw a demo of a movie playing on Blu-Ray. It really is noticeably more detailed and higher quality image than DVD's, even to someone who doesnt know what to look for.

thanks guys, i guess its gonna be the x1900xt. il probly go with either ati or asus brand, as i have had experience with both of them and no problems. a quick question, its a 2 slot cooler, should I get a vf900 heatsink to replace it ? (I want a quiet comp and it would be nice if it cooled...

I don't feel like messing with the hardware, and I don't want to void my warranty. I dont want to do anything more than maybe some minor overclocking with something like ati tool. Stability is a necessity.

which would be better in a conroe setup? both are in the 500 dollar price range, i dont want to go much over that. also Im deciding on wether to go with an lcd monitor either 1280x1024 or 1600x1200. can these cards handle the 1600x1200 resolution without any problems in games like css and bf2...

the digital video signal in DVI and HDMI is exactly the same, which is why its so easy to make an adapter for them. the difference is that HDMI also transfers audio as well, and supports HDCP, which is content protection. (gay) cables get even more expensive than that. My monster cable DVI to...

its not a normal tv, its a LCD HDTV with 1366 x 768 resolution. its not the quality of the monitor

I have a 26inch HDTV with a resolution of 1366 x 768. I want to add it on to my 17inch crt with 1024 x 768 resolution. The HDTV has hdmi input and D-sub. I know hdmi is higher quality so i bought a DVI to HDMI cable to go from my computer to the tv. The problem is I cannot get the resolution of...

The X-Fi cards have a lot of compatibility issues. Lots of people have problems with crackling and stuff. check the reviews at newegg. I would go with an Audigy 2 ZS. it still has 24/96 sound quality, same as X-Fi.
