    Graphics Control Center

    Are you sure you've got it installed? If it is not a shortcut when you right-click on the desktop it should be in your Start menu somewhere.

    case-sensitive html

    For a language that is not case-sensitive, why would they emphasize using anything but lower case?

    does this sound like a video card problem?

    I would recommend keeping an eye on your temps when watching videos. You can do this with CPUID's HWMonitor. If you're getting high heat and then freezing, see what you can do about cooling your GPU better. If the heat levels remain ok and it still locks up, you may have a faulty video card...

    Is this a good computer for gaming?

    Based on those specs it should be able to play anything today on high settings with good FPS.

    500$ Dollar Budget Prebuilt or Build

    Those links are to the same PC. What do you want to use the computer for? If it is just for web browsing, homework, and things of that nature that one would be fine. If you're planning on doing any gaming at all you should consider something with a dedicated graphics card.

    New Power Supply (Thankfully)

    I've had instances where I think I know exactly what is wrong based on what the person is telling me... Then I am wrong and it takes me several hours to figure out what the issue is!

    cleaning inside of my case :S

    When you've opened up the case just touch one of the metal edges. Do not touch the mobo or any components until you've touched a metal edge on the case.

    Long waiting times

    It'd be a good idea to first check out which programs are loading on startup. Do this by typing msconfig in Run or Search. Then select "Selective Startup". Then click the "Startup" tab. The programs that are listed with the boxes checked are the ones that are starting when you boot up the...

    A+ Certification

    You make a good point about dealing with idiot-users and Windows. What route did you take to get to where you are today? Doing something in development greatly interests me. Edit: Not trying to steal the thread from the OP, just curious about AE7's path to where he is today.

    Tough to say why this has been the case... I'm sure there are many reasons behind it.

    bulldozer

    Well it's not so much that I'm running especially taxing software. I use it for schoolwork, web browsing, learning to program in C# and with various Java editors. Probably the most taxing thing I use it for is gaming, but the overall feel of the computer is just not as snappy and responsive as...

    A+ Certification

    True. A+ Certification is good for somebody just getting into the IT field and can help to get entry level jobs. Obviously it's not designed to get you a high-paying managerial job anywhere, and anyone getting A+ certified that thinks they're gonna be good to go in the IT field is nuts! You...

    A+ Certification

    What have you been using for study materials? I have not yet attempted my A+ certification but plan to within the next 6 months. I know that the practice tests I have been using that came on cd-rom with the book I bought are a good test prep. They say if you are getting 90% correct answers or...
