    Windows 7 internet keeps going out

    Just started yesterday I get intermittent loss of connection. It can't find the router, then it can find the network but won't connect, then finally connects. I have I have tried to update drivers and there are not any new ones, reset the winsock and TCP/IP, and scanned for any malware and that...

    How the heck can I format my new notebook?

    Unfortunately your recovery partition will include all of the bloatware.

    Does anyone recommend Cyberpowerpc.com?

    Kind of iffy IMO. Customer service is terrible, and their computers tend to show up with something incorrectly installed. Myself, I had to call and get help with finding drivers for some of my components on one of their discs. Nowadays, I could have figured it out myself, but it should have come...

    HJT log and some questions

    MBAM found some maleware in a program that I've had for awhile, so I was thinking it was a false positive. Ran that, avira, and superantispyware and that is all that was found. However, this could be completely unrelated, but my internet is pretty slow now. Does anyone know of a way to tell if...

    Buzzing noise under keyboard

    Are you joking? It's not that serious, and I wouldn't go through all that trouble over a suspicion. But thanks for the suggestion.

    Buzzing noise under keyboard

    Every once and a while my laptop will have this little high pitched buzzing coming from under the keyboard. If I press a key and hold it down it goes away and sometimes comes back when I let the key off. Sometimes it will stop completely. It's not very loud, but I can definitely hear it with my...

    Is this card salvageable?

    Yeah, the picture is kind of distorted. Heh, I have a little thing for collecting parts, so I'd like to be able to save it if I can. Eventually I'll save up enough old parts to build a cheap desktop.

    Is this card salvageable?

    Accidentally broke this off while taking a card out of a case. Wondering if it should just be thrown away. Not quite sure where it went, but the picture has a couple possible spots. Thanks

    Pay More For Less [MW2]

    Yeah, they really screwed this one up. I highly doubt I'm going to get this; no competitive mods and no instant banning is a big kick in the groin to all the CoD4 players.

    Windows 7 upgrade question

    Thanks for the replies. Can you clarify what you mean by booting from the install disc? Aren't I doing that anyway?

    Windows 7 upgrade question

    I'm eager to leave this **** Vista behind, and was wondering if with the W7 upgrade edition would let me format new partitions before install. Probably not, but that would save me the trouble of doing a Vista restore to fix the badly set partitions and then doing the upgrade on top of that...

    Vista Ultimate to 7

    I think you can upgrade to lesser versions, but just not up (premium to ultimate).

    Windows 7 OEM Vs. Retail

    OEM can be used for reinstalls on that system, right? I've never really understood the whole OEM thing. :D

    Mixing different pin connectors

    I have these small pin connectors that will fit into the terminal on the back of the receiver, but not on the speakers themselves. For the speakers I need a different kind that is gold plated. Is it alright to mix the two types--regular on the receiver and gold on the speakers?

    My laptop OVERHEATS

    That's probably the intake vent, so yeah, I'd take that off. Did you just buy this and that was part of the packaging?

    Headset sound problem (vista)

    AMD ZM-82 @ 2.2 ghz ATI Radeon 3850 w/512mb 4 GB RAM Yeah, it has the horsepower. The soundcard doesn't have any problems as far as I know. I've tried updating its drivers, but that did not help either.

    Laptop cooloer

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834998492 I have that cooler and highly recommend it. Keeps my gaming laptop very cool whereas before it would belch out the heat and start locking up during intensive gaming. Not very expensive either.
