Thats a crap piece of advice for a problem of this nature, you should only need to do that if your computer becomes ridiculously slow, like mine has a couple of times, or if your OS just becomes unstable / BSOD's occur. I had a similar problem back when I had the shittest phone I ever...

As for your CPu temperature problem, just buy a new / bigger / copper Heatsink and fan (or CPu cooler) yes the older athlon originals and athlon XP's were made to withstand higher temperatues, my old 1333MHz T-bird Athlon ran at just under 70 Degrees C idle and 78/79 on full load, and as far as...

it depends what you do with your computer. Gaming = lower CAS latencies and faster RAM clock speeds. Basic use, you are unlikely to notice any performance gain from doing so.

I have an ASUS drive and it was £25 (or about 55 US Dollars) and I have never been more satisfied with any other DVD Writer I have had. Quieter than the ones in the past and matches (if not beats) read and write speeds. Anyway I have a Relatively new, (1 year and a half now) SeaGate Baracudda...

hopefully Solid State Disk Drives will not have these such errors when they go mainstream...

7600GS goes for like NOTHING on ebay, I've seen them go for £30 (55 USD) including shipping :O anyway they are a good compromise considering power consumption, price and performance

thank you very much, sorted my problem, i was looking in all thru the display options on my desktop... LOL. anyway I think its time I marked this as solved, my PC has certainly become faster and generally more responsive, especially since that index service was disabled, thought that was...

I have a thermaltake toughpower 600 Watts, and I'm 99% sure I saw a 4 pin and an 8 Pin CPu dedicated power cable. It is also both SLi and Crossfire certified and therefore can power 2 GPu's. Oh and 1 more thing, if you can help it, don;t get a modular power supply (the ones with external...

no a computer will not even display without any RAM. If your internal beeper/speaker is plugged in, you will just get an angry pattern of "beeps". You must also have a CPu installed too, as again, nothing will display without these. Your power supply is a good one, and therefore definitely...

I would never spend less than £60 ($115 USD) on a motherboard. Apart from the one I have now which was an extremely cheap, quick replacement mATX board when my £70 nFORCE 3 Ultra one died :(

never used SLi before, and I have no intentions of doing so, but anyway, looks like a driver issue. Welcome to NVIDIA - World Leader in Visual Computing Technologies download the latest drivers

no i am using XP, but i want to make the text background transparent

one more thing, after choosing a good balance between appearance and performance, (like having disabled shadows, but keeping the desktop from looking like windows 98) i seem to have one thing i cant seem to fix, its just me being picky, so its not a problem exactly, i just want to know how to...

lavasoft adaware SE: found 28 problems spybot: 760+ problems after scanning with adaware SE no viruses though, plus just on a sidenote, i did all my scanning for viruses/mal + spy ware in safe mode

oh trust me, i hate maxtors, except for this one, its 10 years old and its the best, most longest lasting drive i have ever had. i have experienced slowdowns from my previous "ended up dead" maxtors and i know its not down to my one. i tell you, the older maxtors seem to be OK, its just the...

if possible, try reflashing / updating your BIOS, you know how to do this?

I perform the act of defragmentation once a month or more often on both my drives; One is a 320GB SeaGate SATA 2, and the other a 25GB Maxtor IDE/PATA 66 I know theres tricks and tweaks to make a system faster, so please let me know what some of them are :D cheerz

43 degrees is nothing, mine runs about that idle, and my old original athlon 1.3GHz ran at 70 on full load. Admittingly on todays processors, they should be below 65 and definitel below 70 at maximum my friend had an ASUS board back when he had a socket 754 AMD, and his occasionally did...

Hi, thanks for all advice so far, I did an overnight virus scan with (yes my virus scanner is:) Avast Home Edition, picked up nothing, I went to my computer and turned off that index file whatever, and its seemed faster every since. As for task manager, once the computer is fully started up, I...

what power supply do you have? what make and wattage?
