    Fighting the scourge of scareware

    Man do I hate those shits, I can always tell if they are genuine messages or not. Mostly because I've seen all of the genuine messages a 100 times before this scare scam became such a big problem. If the warning has any reference to any company.. IGNORE. If the warning is not written in...

    Nvidia or ATI after intel core i7 processors?

    Separation and a change of heart? Considering how much money both nVidia and Intel would lose if they were to not be compatible with each other I would say- NOT GONNA HAPPEN (NOT A CHANCE) Plan on going Intel/nVidia for sure. I haven't read anything on i7 cores yet, gonna do it now.. I hope...

    Help with bad dimm

    If you have custom control over your BIOS, (if you bought it and it came in a box) I suggest either returning the settings to normal or lowering the voltage to your ram to that which is specified on your DIMMS. -Could also, possibly, be timings and frequency... (you probably already thought...

    avatars

    Umm... I'm confused. If begabytes at this stage has 27 posts and has a custom picture, shouldn't I be able to get one too if I have 34 posts as of now? I can't find the link and My Edit Avatar options do not include that bottom part where you can upload one. Could anybody please help me?

    Which sound should I use?

    ,AGREED! That's my card too and I loved it when I had my computer. Almost any sound card will beat onboard audio (even the fancy 8 channel blah blah). Definitely use the Audigy 2. This also helps in games since the CPU offloads the audio processing to a separate location like your card...

    File transfer speed

    8Mbps = 1MB/sec Yes there are 8 bits in a byte. If you are transfering at 1.14 then your internet connection speed is 9.12Mbps. There could be many factors affecting file transfer from computer to computer just as much as there are with the internet. Unless there is some information about...

    Case Extreme

    Cool case, large. I'm a believer in having separate chambers and direct airflow through the case. Simple, effective. Not to mention the case looks sleek as hell.

    C Drive nearly full

    If you want to properly move a program, any program, to another medium and have it work properly I would just un-install in on your drive C and re-install it on drive D by selecting install location in your installation wizard. When everything works fine, you can go and delete any leftovers from...

    Awkward problem regarding games and videos...

    The Video/Mouse lag can be best diagnosed in FPS games. But don't worry about that. Anti Spyware/Adware and Anti-Virus: -Free anti-spyware/adware programs I can suggest are "Spybot - Search and Destroy" and "AVG" a free, dayly updated antivirus. Regarding svchost.exe: -The svchost.exe...

    software loading

    I would think that it is next to impossible for data (viruses, trojans ext..) to make any physical damages to your system. If somehow a virus would find a way to raise voltages for components on your motherboard it is possible to cause damage but even if it does that almost all motherboards shut...

    My computer is on the fritz and I think its my harddrive's fault

    When I was building a friend's computer almost the same thing happened. (with the turning on it's side and everything) The cause was that one of the case USB connection terminals was touching the metal case causing something to short. I would wiggle the damn thing and I could see the motherboard...

    Computer turns off randomly as if unplugged

    On most issues regarding computers turning off randomly I would suggest swapping out the power supply. As for the USB ports, I am inclined to believe that this is too- a Power Supply issue. -Try a different Power Supply -Buy another one if you have to because this is very likely to be the...

    i have amazing luck..

    Wow, you do have amazing luck. Jeez, this is nuts. I'm sorry that this happened to you, I would beat my head against the wall to blood if it happened to me. I love computers and technology, but deep down in my heart I hate it to the point of if it were a person I would murder them without...

    Sounds Cool, I hope it's not ourageously more expensive than the other Blu Ray Reconders.

    C Drive nearly full

    If you have one harddrive in your system, the C drive is your primary drive and the D drive is a partition off of your C Drive (assuming the D drive is not your CD/DVD rom drive). This D drive is possibly reserved for System Recovery Console Files which bring your system back from the dead...

    Awkward problem regarding games and videos...

    Sounds very much like a CPU problem. Almost sounds like your computer has background tasks that are affecting CPU load. If you pay close attention to the way the framerate behaves you can tell what is the issue. -If the latency between your screen movement and your mouse increases durring the...

    Buying a new computer

    ABS is also a good company for Power Supplies, and they have the super cool PipeRock Modular cabling, almost feels like you're plugging in XLR cables. IDK why but to me that's very appealing.:D 8800GTX/Ultra are very power hungry but a 500W-600W PSU will work just fine.

    CPU overheating

    So you are saying the temperatures were normal once but now it gets hot? Or am I not understanding you correctly? -Are you sure your CPU is not under load? -If you are not running full load and the temps are so high as 70C you might just have your CPU going bad. I only say this because I...

    Blinking green dots on LG L246WH-BN

    I don't know too much about the way LCDs work so I cannot say anything for sure. But if you don't like the way it operates you could exchange it. Since the pixels are not dead you can claim there is something wrong with the monitor. If they ARE dead pixels, you have to have like 7 or 8 or more...
