Computer Freezing After I Boot Into Windows

My computer started freezing up last night. This is the first time I've experienced this problem. First of all, for reference, here?s my set up. I built this computer myself in January of 2006, replacing an EVGA 7800 with the 7900 in April of ?06. So, everything is a little over 3 years...

Creative Zen Vision M for $249.99 shipped if you can be patient

I called Crutchfield last Friday and was told they are still on backorder, but they will be sent out as soon as Crutchfield gets them. Then on Tuesday I got an e-mail with the title "Your Crutchfield Order..." I quickly opened it, only to discover it was another notice about it being on back...

It looks like it takes about a month from the time you order for it to ship. I ordered mine on March 24, so I'm not worried yet.

My Temp Video Card Is Horribly Retarded

OK, I said I wasn't going to keep messing with this, but of course I did. :roll: After fiddling with the videocard's settings some more, my computer will no longer open windows when I click on any programs. So, I can't re-open the ATI program to restore the card's default settings. I thought...

My Temp Video Card Is Horribly Retarded

I just spent an hour trying to figure this out. I can't find a hardware acceleration option for the card, so I don't know whether it's turned on or off. The help file that I assume was installed with the drivers won't load up. Firefox claims the file doesn't exist. I found a manual on ATI's...

Asus a8n-e..

OK, here's another noob question. Does this motherboard have any kind of onboard video? I signed up for EVGA's step up program and will be mailing in my video card soon. Will I be able to do anything with my computer while waiting for the new card? I'm not talking about playing games, just...

your building new system, old still works

My old computer still worked fine, but I needed a serious upgrade for video encoding. I just cleaned all the crap out of the machine that my sister would never use and that I didn't want anyone to see and gave it to her as a Christmas present.

Tracking evga step-up from 7800 to 7900

I'm 294 in the queue for the 7900GT CO Superclocked. But I'm a little nervous now that a couple of people have started threads saying they can't get their new 7900GT's to work. I'm going to be watching that situation very closely before making a final decision on whether to go through with...

software to encrypt/protect USB flash drive?

Here's a link, FYI: http://www.newsoftwares.net/folderlock/ I read the FAQ, and I'm going to give this a try on both my computer at home and my flash drive. If it works, I'll buy the full version.

software to encrypt/protect USB flash drive?

I'm curious about this too because I have a Kingston DataTraveler II 512MB flash drive which allows me to create a "private partition" that can only be accessed via password. It works fine at home, but my computer at work will not let me access the private partition I created. I read the FAQ...

Motherboard Won't Fit In Case

At least I know I wasn't the only one with this problem! I finished building the machine and everything seems to be working great right now. :)

Multiple Issues on Windows MCE Install

The "Windows XP Professional Service Pack II CD is disk 1 of the install. Just put disk one back in and you'll be fine. Raduque, ND40oz, you were both right. I put the first cd back in (after reformatting and starting completely over) and Windows MCE finished installing properly. I was able...
