So, I got a couple of brand new memmory sticks (yes, i went for memmory after all), and set them in the bios to 1066. It didn't ran stable, so I tried to improve the RAM timings in the bios. Seems it was a bad idea, since after that, my computer wouldn't boot. It does power on, all coolers seem...

Hello friends, I am going absolutely crazy. I buy parts and build my own comps. Always have. Everything went smooth until I looked into Cmos and saw it would not allow me to change the boot configuration. I then noticed no lights or doors worked on my DVD/CD's, making it impossible to load Win...

First off, Hi everyone! I was lucky (?) enough to get a win7 party pack but so far have had nothing but network issues. I have completely given up on wireless - its hopeless. Driver support from belkin is pretty lame. My issue now is that i am trying to connect my original (NOT 360) xbox...

I originally had XP x64 Pro installed on my PC. I then installed x64 Windows 7 Ultimate on a second HDD. Dual booted great. STart my PC and got asked which one I wanted. But default was always Win7. Which was weird because I thought that the first install was always the primary OS. But...
