    Random Freezes and Shutdowns

    I noticed you mentioned using nVidia as your GPU. I was having similar issues with my PC, and when everything was said and done, the HD Audio driver for nVidia was causing my PC to freeze while using audio through HDMI using the HD Audio driver. My freezing began when I purchased a plasma...

    Never-ending hard drive formatting

    I ran into this with an install of Windows XP. The problem was that the install would stall at 28% to no avail. I read on a forum that it could possibly be a dirty disc causing the install stall. Sure enough, I cleaned the disc with dawn dish soap and rubbed it clean with my fingers, let...

    I just want to add to wolfeking's comment. The memory bandwidth for all of those mobile video adapters are axed from 1/4 to 1/16th their desktop variant.

    so im tempted to get this card...whats your opinion

    For the price, I would definitely go for it. But, I would also highly consider the HD7970. But, I am personally waiting for the new nVidia GPU's to hit the market and upgrade to one of them along with one of the Ivy bridge chips. The nVidia GPU's are expected to blow the current 5xx series out...

    Setting Up Windows Server 2003 from scratch

    with that Network diagram you provided, you would end up in a world of headaches trying to accomplish what you are going after. Why is it necessary to have a Server? Why are you trying to set one up inside your house? You'd be better off just making the same user profile on all of your...

    It's been a little while since I have worked with the programming of Cisco routers and such, but you need that Serial cable attached from the AP to your computer.

    Newbie here

    I don't think you realize this, but the video card that you have listed is a PCI compliant video card. You need to put that in a PCI slot on the motherboard. Your motherboards video Bus architecture is in the form of a AGP slot. Are you plugging the PCI card into the AGP slot? If so, that is...

    StarCraft Explorer.exe isues

    Are your LAN buddies trying to play a joke on you? Try updating the drivers for your video adapter, or check the cable going from the computer to the monitor and make sure it is completely plugged in on both ports (Computer and Monitor).

    Path of Exile

    Yeah, I know most of Blizzard North (I say most because some of the Blizz North crew is still employed at Blizz) made similar style RPG's, but they don't offer the Diablo feeling that I was hoping for. They went more of a fun action RPG in Torch Light series. The developers behind Path of...

    Path of Exile

    I did a search of this game on this forum to see if it has been talked about, but there is only one post about it. So, I thought I would let everyone know about this awesome game that is about to come out! I have been waiting for Diablo III to release for years, but with everything Blizzard has...

    .msi question

    I believe a .msi installer is another type of SetupShield or wise (normally noticed as the setup.exe) that Microsoft created. It provides more features and a GUI interface with automated uninstall.

    I'm just an exited new member

    The Cisco Academy as mentioned above is a great idea, but if you were to go that route, then I would look on establishing a degree out of it, like Network Administration. Because, the Cisco Academy runs in Semesters, and everything will make a whole lot more sense if you are taking other...

    Internet keeps dropping out - cant retain internet connection

    There are many things this could be, and you provided a very broad statement about how the issue can be assessed. But, I will go over a few things that could be causing the issue. If you install an Anti-Malware software (ie: Kaspersky), it may install what is call a "NDIS Filter." You would...

    Your best bet is to pick up a book from a book store on Networking. After you gain the knowledge of networking, then that is when you discover "what is cool.. I guess."

    Linksys wrt610N + home sharing.

    I think this would be a port forwarding issue. Let us know if you have already looked into that or not. I have this same router, and I don't believe this has anything to do with heat.

    Problem with network printer at work

    How is the printer added to the network and how do the computers gain access to the printer? Are you in a Workgroup or are you in a Domain setup with a centralized server - client setup? Do you have a server setup as a Print Server? Or, are you using an embedded print server on the printer...
