Harddrive Problem

I had my main 250 gig partitioned into 3 partitions. I wiped the main partition to do a fresh install of xp pro. One partition is fine, the other showed as unpartitioned space and I had to format, but luckily I didn't have a lot left on it. Thats not a big deal, but my main problem is I had...

X530 and Audigy Gamer

Ok, so I used to have the logitech Z640s and had the same problem when I was setting them up. The connecters are color coded and my audigy has gold connections, which obviously don't provide color coding. Way back when i had my 640s a google search hooked me up with an explanation of how to...

**Official** Video Card Drivers Rev2

tried the 71.89 they didn't work at all. then reinstalled the 78.01 but i forgot to uninstall the 71.89 so it wasn't clean but surprisingly it ran better then before. Now by better i mean it didn't crash or freeze. I got pretty regular (usually every second or two) little blips of...

I just installed an XFX 6600GT (AGP) upping from a 4200. Uninstalled old drivers and then installed the newest (78.01 i believe) drivers and started up WoW. About 15 mins of fine running ended abruptly when i saw a few weird texture glitches like something was showing through and then my comp...

Random Reboots and low p/s voltage.

I didn't check the ps for long, i just checked it again and it is up at 2.98. Its still randomly restarting though. If the ps isn't the issue what else could be? Its not overheating or anything it stays under 50c even when doing stuff like gaming.

Random Reboots and low p/s voltage.

Well starting about 20 mins ago i had a few random reboots. I walked back into my room after stepping out for a bit and it had restarted. I was confused but went on like normal but it rebooted again, and then during the reboot it flickered a few times and loaded up windows. It did this again...

The rush of users wont crash the servers as it is a limited release. Well actually a server crash is still something to worry about considering it is still a fairly buggy game and problems are still running fairly rampant. As to the topic, i might check out the free trial but with galaxies as...

Everyone goes crazy for just the plain glazed ones, but i prefer the other kinds. Sure the occasional glazed, especially hot off the press like they give you for a sample is nice, they do it better then any other, but i like stuff like the cream filled bismarks and rasberry jelly filled better...

Monitor sizing problems.

What is "floating" I bought it almost 2 years ago, and i have the original box but i dont think i have the receipt. Is this floating going to get worse and is there anything that can be done to at least help contain it?

Monitor sizing problems.

I can't exactly recall when this started, but it has been more of an issue since getting a second monitor, but my main monitor (a 19" KDS) is constantly off-size. Sometimes the left is a bit short with a quarter inch of space left, sometimes there is a bit off the top, or sometimes it gets too...
