2nd Experience with Windows 8

Maybe not here, but I have seen plenty of posts elsewhere regarding how Windows 8 is and will be a failure overall. My point is simply that its likely that it will not be a failure as long as there is compelling hardware and users get a certain amount of initial assistance getting use to the...

Need help from any Windows RT Tablet owners

Id be fine with using the desktop IE, but unfortunately, Windows RT relies on MS' compatibility list for both the desktop and metro IE. I did find out more about the xml file, so that could be the answer. Thanks for the tip.

2nd Experience with Windows 8

I think one thing people quickly forget when trying to say that since they hate Windows 8, then all the general users will hate it too. That is simply untrue. Alot of the issues talked about on forums like this stem from changing features that, lets face it, most general users paid little...

Need help from any Windows RT Tablet owners

I am currently looking at getting a tablet. I would like to do a Windows 8 or Windows RT tablet, but I first need to confirm something. My main problem is that the tablet must be able to access a certain website that uses flash. This one point could force me into an x86 based Windows 8...

Hardware failure?

well i really hope thats the problem lol. it would be quite embarrasing, but ill gladly take it if it works by removing the jumper. i guess thats why a screwdriver is a better idea since your just touching it once. ill try that when i get home and ill be quite pleased if thats all it was.

Hardware failure?

yeah, i have two msi boards, two 939 cpus, and two different power supplies. Only the second power supply is brand new, the 2nd mobo and cpu were bought used, so its not impossible that those are also faulty, i just hope that isnt the case. all have given the same result so far. I havent...

Hardware failure?

this board does have a 4pin power connector and it seems to be firmly connected. This is trying two different psus as well. The board is a 24pin board, so i have that connected up along with the additional 4pin power connector near the cpu itself. thats a good point about the fan. i didnt...

Xp pc bsod

When I said I formated the drive, what I did was made a backup of the drive onto another drive, and then did just as you said, ran a chkdsk and even tried a repair install of windows. Chkdsk did say it made repairs, but it still wouldnt boot into windows. Next, I formatted the hard drive...
