Don't want to make this too long winded so i will try to be concise.I'm a construction guy by trade but have been interested in computing my hole life and it's been an intense hobby for about the last ten years.I am certain that i'm in possesion of the skills to do almost any...

Sorry, I've been looking around on google, wow, and nvidia forums all day. I have the Nvidia GeForce 6600, with the latest driver. My computer runs nice and smooth, even when I'm playing WoW, however... When I play WoW for about 5+ minutes, it crashes. I can't ctrl + alt +del or anything. I...

for all thoes people who are experiencing this problem, i have a few tips that worked for me. Solving Windows freeze on startup....(this can happen when even booting from the startup disk, it has nothing to do with any drivers or software related issues) If you have sprung upon this problem...

I've already read like 15 different threads around Google about this problem but none of them really sounded like my problem. What happens is that sometimes when I'm just using my computer, whether it be gaming or browsing the internet, it will restart randomly. Sometimes it will shut down...

Question: when and how often should one update/upgrade one's bios on there PC? Even if that PC is not having any problems. I am a firm believer in "if it's not broke don't fix it" saying but would like some sort of answer to this question.

Last week I installed Windows 7, build RC 7100 x86, as a dual boot with Vista. The installation went fine - but after finishing that I only managed to see the start menu just once (the first time after completing the installation). Now I get the blue background with the fish, but no desktop...

I was trying to set up a dual boot windows 7 with vista and was using a partition software and I mistakenly formated the 1st partition on my hard drive. It was a small partition of 1.5 MB and I think that is where the MBR was installed? Anyway after that I tried to fix the problem and as far as...

I have an extended family members laptop to fix...lucky me. It's a HP pavilion dv5000 with windows xp pro. It has got some serious bugs. My problem is that I cant download any thing because IE 7 is some what dorked up. They have google set as home page. I can access the net and home page comes...

Title pretty much says it all. If you have followed my "PSU died" thread you know what's going on. After I got my new PSU installed, my PC acted strange, it would not post but I know that that MoBo has always been a PITA to post after a major hardware change so at first I didn't think much of...

Let ask the question and then give the back ground.... I am using Vista HP 64, I have two Lite-On DVD Burners, a LH-20A1H and a SHW-160P6S. They are recognized in the BIOS and in Vista's Device Manager. Device Manager say they are "Code 39" that windows cannot load a driver, when I try to...
