No problem. Typically, a lot of start up items are unnecessary. The same goes for services. I can assure you can safely remove the following items, although if you choose to keep them you can: Google Update msnmsgr (unless you use MSN Messenger and want it at start up) OfficeSyncProcess Adobe...

Wow, maybe a power surge. Or just poor manufacturing. If it s only 3 months old i would return the faulty ones and ask for new ones! I hope you have some sort of proof of purchase. Parts usually come with a 1 year warranty. If you can't return them, least you can do is take them out.

Yep. A possible difference may be that your retailer may use a Retailed item and install the hardware without giving you the full contents of the box. For example, some Retail video cards come with extra wires or free games. Your retailer might choose to withhold those items for himself. To make...

I always feel home here though - empty or full :)

Yeah, HWF had it's time. Even in 07, when i signed up, posts were flying everywhere and questions were answered the same hour it was posted. I've spoken to Sniper several times about it. About what we think could revive the forum. If you compare HWF to the big boys (toms, bit-tech...) you'll...

"Cachy" username. What motherboard do you have?

You probably installed a program recently and then removed it. Now the item is stuck in your startup item and when it looks for the .dll file at boot, it can't find it. Hence the error. That's my speculation. Download CCleaner and perform a system clean up. Then, open up the "start up" option...

Get the Batallion. The difference in GPU's isn't great. The 6990 is better. And also because it comes with an SSD! Alienware has great laptops but when it comes down to price you're paying to have their logo.

Sounds like a fried memory stick. Download Memtest and let us know the results.

The research is for you to do. The salesman can tell you the parts are from MSI, ASUS... whatever. It's up to you to look at the brands he uses when he puts the parts together. Any chance you can give us a list of parts you want to put together? Let us know what he's charging you so we can...

Yep, and Win XP > 7 :(. The word "bliss" means so much more to me than just a word.

Sniper said he's workin on it ;)

Sorry folks for the inactivity. Finals week

wow thats crazy!

Yep

Dual Channel is a memory configuration which double data throughput when you install 2 ram modules in the first ram slot and usually, the 3rd ram slot. You're motherboard does not support Dual Channel.

One of my friends went as far as saying that his new sound card improved his game performance.. but i think that's a bit farfetched. My friend gave me his Sound Blaster X-Fi and i can't distinguish between it and my onboard sounds...

An end to a beautiful summer...

1. Yes, the Intel does have an integrated HD video card. 2. Get at least 4gb, DDR3. Don't worry about the speed or brand. Just make sure the sticks you get have compatible speeds with your board. 3. Cabinet? I think you mean Case friend. It's always best to have a system with good cooling...

Yep, good build. I would make a few slight changes though: consider a sata3 hard drive and take advantage of its speeds. And lastly, a modular psu might save you the cable mess inside your case ;)
