Recently reformatted my computer and switched motherboards. I've been to the manufacture's page and downloaded all drivers/bios updates. Everything works fine except the microphone jack. I've tried on the front of the case, and in back with multiple mics. It worked fine with my old mobo so...

Ok here's the story: Was using my computer and everything was working fine. Need more outlet space so I shutdown the machine, unplugged it from the wall outlet and put in a powerstrip. Plugged the computer into powerstrip and pushed "power"...nothing, no fan, power up, not a thing. So I...

Ok, here is the whole story: Everything worked perfectly fine until... I left a blank CD in the disc drive (accidentally) and had my bios set up to do Start from CD, it froze (I guess trying to start up from a blank CD) I removed the disc and it started up normally. Then just recently it did...

Ok, I have a design for a web site with a menu positioned on the left and a "main content area" to the right of the menu. I would like the content area to grow vertically only, but be in it's own "frame" (have scroll bars to move down through while the rest of the page remains motionless.) I've...

Everything else works fine but there is tiny fan on my motherboard. Not the CPU one it's really small and has the MSI logo on it...near the PCI express port for my graphics card. When I try to start my computer up it "revs" 2 or three times like it's trying to start and then just stops...

Playing Battlefield 2 and a couple weeks ago I had some slow down issues. It didn't look like framerate drop it was like my character was moving in slow motion. Then got World of Warcraft. Had some "shuddering" problems. If I move around the game freezes for a few seconds and the audio gets...

Was playing Medieval 2 Total War. All of a sudden my monitor lost the video signal or something. Right in the middle of the game the screen went black. The monitor went into sleep mode as if it wasn't receiving a video signal. The computer itself let out a moderately long "beeep" and then...

I get to specific point during the game and it crashes 100% of the time. It happens when I try to display a massive amount of units on the screen at once, (though during a different point in the game I was able to view over 1000 at a time...didn't crash just incredible slow down.) Throws me...

Looking for a decent processor for gaming and am deciding between these two AMD 64 Athlons. The only difference I can find is that one is advertised as a Venice and other doesn't say anything. The price diff between the two is about $70.00. Below are the manufacturer SKU #s and the links to...

Do I need to worry about this setting if my motherboard is PCI Express, I don't even have an AGP slot, so why is this setting on and do I need it on?

It started happening about a month ago, but it's starting to bother me now. Every time I open a window on my machine I get this "scrambley" crap on the corner. Like interference or something. It doesn't show up very good when I'm on the desktop, or at all in games save one...Spider solitare...

Ok, I turned on my computer this morning and it is messed up. Programs open and appear in the start bar but the windows won't appear on the screen unless I maximize them. If the program windows appear at all they are off to the side, jammed up in a corner off screen so I can't move them. I...

I recently bought an Albatron 6800GT PCI Express Graphics Card I installed it and it worked fine until I got an error message one day that said, "Not receiving enough power, card has gone into a low power state to prevent from being damaged." I looked into my manual and thought the problem was...

ok I installed an AMD 3200+ into a K8N Neo4 motherboard. It came with a heat sink and fan and that heat conductive gel. Well the motherboard was bad and I had to remove my processor. When I tried to pull the heat sink away after I removed the claps that held it in place, it didn't want to let...

Ok, I have a Dell Dimensions XPS. I have two hard drives, an 80GB and a 120GB one is serial ATA and the other is Ultra ATA. I'm copying a bunch of files from one hard drive to the other and the CPU usage jumps to 99%. When I'm playing Warcraft3 the same thing happens CPU goes between 85 and...

Built this new gaming machine and powered it. Everything seems fine, the LEDs, the fans, the DVD drive. I'm trying to set the BIOS up for the mother board but NONE of my USB ports will work. None on the extra card, not even the ones built on the motherboard. That is the only thing wrong. I...

Well I bought this case. http://www.aspireusa.net/umanual/um-atxb6klw.pdf that is also the manual :). It came just as described but it won't startup/light up. I connected the fans to the power supply. Can anyone tell me what I may be missing? Just to clarify: This is just the case. I...
