Hey PC Forum, Recently got a second monitor, and trying to set them both up. Using a GTX 680, it has 2x DVI's, one DVI-I, and DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort. Both monitors are VGA, and ive been using the first one with a VGA->DVI-I adapter. So im wondering what its best to convert this extra VGA...

No i wasn't using the original win7 cd. The ide HD with xp is pretty old, so it could be giving out. Just got the sata one a few months back. Not sure why it didn't work on its own.

Yeah that's not a bad deal. Haven't checked the prices in a while, since i have 8gb of ddr3's layin' around anyway, i wanted to put the funds into a new mobo/cpu. I'm still getting the same problem as before though, still stuck on the second install screen. I tried both drives separately, and...

Will give her a go and report back~ Don't know if i should be investing into any more upgrades on this rig, seeing as ddr2's are pretty overpriced, and the mobo is pretty old.

Hey everyone, I am currently trying to clean install win 7 on an xp machine, but I encounter an error after the first setup finishes. Boot and everything works ok past the "loading setup files" section. After the loading the files, the setup does not continue after the second blue installer...

Maybe someone can make something of this diskcheck report, there are quite alot of errors.

Ran diskcheckup self-test with no luck, not sure if selfcheck is even supported. It would not continue due to a fatal error. As soon as i enabled recording SMART attributes my system shut down. Only 3 minutes have passed since my bootup, and i already have 3 read/write errors. Will attach...

Ended up recording that chirping sound and threw it on soundcloud for easy access. Im hoping these arent hard drive screams for mercy. You can hear the very distinct sound around 1 second in, and then the system beep. Anyone recognize these chirping/whizzing noises? :/...

I did forget to mention after one of the reboots following the lock up, windows did not recognize that i had a hard drive installed and asked me to boot from a cd. Another reboot fixed it, but i only got that error once. I tried to pinpoint the whizzing noise with my case open, and noticed its...

Hey PC Forum, Ive been having an issue over the last few weeks with my PC powering itself down. At first, it was only happening during a gaming session, but now I'm having a hard time keeping it running. My first thought is that something is overheating. After a thorough dusting, some things...

Hello C-Forum, I have been having a lasting problem connecting to a game server. Through tons of trial, error, and research i have tried pretty much everything to solve the issue, but today i was told the fix was to set up QoS priorities to my gaming pc. The problem lies within the router i am...

Thanks for your help, linkin. I kinda figured it was an issue on my ISP's end. Got to love this telecom monopoly!

Latency seems fine. From a server less than 20 miles my ping is 80. Pinging the google server is quick too, 30ms response time. Unfortunately i have threatened to cancel my service, and there is no other options besides sattelite.

Hi guys, Ive been having this problem with my ISP for what seems like forever now. Every day at the same time my connection speed drops below 0.50 Mb/s. Always the same time, and right on time. Usually starts around 11am-12pm, and remains slow until the late evening time. Whats crazy...

I have this laptop thats pretty much dead, windows doesnt boot up right and my ac adapter has a short in the wire. Ill be traveling in a few days and im wondering if i can charge a usb device (ipod or other mp3 player) from it. I want to buy a new ac adapter just for charging an mp3 player...
