    Download Install Discs

    I'm trying to get copies of the install discs for all versions and editions of windows. But, I DO NOT want cracked or pre-activated copies. I actually want copies that require a genuine and paid for product key. Does anyone know of a place where I can download this sort of thing. All I've...

    Seagate External Drives

    I'm looking at buying a bunch of external hard drives and I cannot figure out what the differences are between normal Seagate external drives and Seagate FreeAgent Go drives. Here's a link to each one i'm considering. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148408 -...

    Memory Not Recognized

    the newest one available on the website. its called F5. The same problem happened before the BIOS update when i still had the F1 BIOS. The BIOS update was my first attempt to fix the problem. all 6 GB are available at lower speeds, just not once i turn it up to 1600 MHz.

    Memory Not Recognized

    Well first i updated the bios to the newest version. then i changed the multiplier to 12 so that its running at 1600 MHz instead of the 1033 that it defaulted to. I also changed the timings to 7-7-7-20 since my memory was advertised as being able to run at those speeds

    Memory Not Recognized

    I just built my new system (shown in signature) and i'm having problems getting windows to recognize all the memory. The motherboard first turned my memory clock speed down to 1066 MHz so a simple BIOS tweak put it up where the memory is rated to be at. But, when i did this windows was no...

    Windows won't load fully

    this may be pointless to ask but did you type in "explorer.exe" instead of just "explorer" in the run bar? just typing in "explorer" opens my documents but "explorer.exe" has always brought up icons for me.

    Which upgrade?

    if you're looking for performance boost and not increased storage capacity, i'd go with the phenom too.

    Not Working...at all

    hook up the hard drive to another computer and run virus scan on it??? OR.... since you've already spent so much time trying to fix it you could've had it reformatted by now lol. If you do reformat you'd still be able to back everything up by putting it in another PC first.

    Which Case???????

    ok. maybe people could comment on the quality of the fans, the case material, ease of use, accesibility, etc. i'm not so much concerned with size as i am with how easy it will be to put everything in the case, and change out individual parts later on and the overall durability of the case...

    New Video Card

    If it were me, I would be completely comfortable putting in that machine. Its coming from a manufacturer overclocked which means they've made sure that its stable at those overclocked speeds and they've most likely improved the heat dissipation system on it to compensate for the increased heat...

    Which Case???????

    the sniper is 4839 cubic inches (22.30" x 10.00" x 21.70"), the HAF 932 is 4392 cubic inches (22.70" x 9.00" x 21.50"). According to dimensions given on newegg... so the sniper is actually the one with more room. i'm going to be buying a radeon 5850 which will fit in either case. the 932 is...

    Which Case???????

    I'm trying to decide between two cases for my new build. either the cooler master HAF 932 or the Storm Sniper. Ignoring price differences, which case would be better and why? Storm Sniper: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119194 HAF 932...

    Leaving a Computer on.

    like flaring afro said, if it has proper cooling its fine to do. if you turn your computer off at night, the expansion and contraction of parts due to heating and cooling is thought to make them wear out faster. leaving it on will prevent this and your fans will go bad a little bit sooner...

    building new computer. need help

    i was gonna go with 12 gigs to kindof futureproof the thing a little bit. i've also read that you should get ddr3 memory from the same production run or it will be more likely that you will run into issues with it. so i was just gonna get it all at once now.

    building new computer. need help

    I have about a $1700 budget to build a new computer. I do have some things in mind already but i want input from other more experienced people. I'd like 12 GB of DDR3 1600 RAM, and i'm pretty much set on the intel i7 930 CPU. I'll be keeping a few parts from my current PC but I will be...
