  • If you don't want to mess around with attaching a processor, heatsink, and fan to a motherboard, or you just want free copies of Far Cry and Half-Life 2, you can't go wrong with Monarch Computer's motherboard combos. If you want to put everything el…
  • Is there any way to export FireFox bookmarks for use on another computer?
  • I didn't think so...
  • After countless testing, shipping, and waiting, I finally have the computer running. All this time, it was the RAM. Well, the optical drive turned out to be completely dead, but that didn't stop the computer from turning on properly. If I wait…
  • I'm a poli-sci major and I've never really had any problem with my professors, even the ones with a clear and admitted bias that goes against what I stand for politically. They've all been brilliant so far. I'm more annoyed by my classmates, who …
  • This is very odd Is it possible for RAM to be defective working in dual channel mode but then work fine alone, in single channel mode? Because that's what seems to be the case now. I sent back the CPU/Motherboard combo and according to the tec…

  • You'll know it when you see it I was very proud of my letter: [url]http://pc.ign.com/mail/1999-09-24.html[/url]

  • What?
  • "Hey, I'm a victim here. I was attacked by a coked up whore and a crazy dentist." Not verbatim, but close enough. It's from the movie "12 Monkeys." A weird old pimp said it.
  • By "the wrong way," I meant putting RAM in slots other than the ones they're supposed to be in. So, instead of A1 and B1, I put them in A2 and B1, or A2 and B2. The only molex I've put in the wrong way is the one that goes into the optical drive.…
  • There are jumpers for master, slave, and cable select. I tried them all. The drive doesn't light up, or open when I push the button. It's dead. Newegg sent me something dead through the mail. But they'll take it back. Yay.
  • At least you guys were right about it being easy to put together... Plugging in the speakers gave me nothing. However, after much more testing, I finally got the thing to show me somethign on the screen by doing something with the CMOS battery…
  • Same result after each test. Though, someone at OCZ suggested I plug speakers into the onboard sound. I can't believe I hadn't thought of that. Always just assumed I'd get some weird robotic sounding noise from the built in or case speakers if there…
  • Ok, I tested one stick of RAM at a time, and I tested my PCI Voodoo 3. I even tested my Voodoo 3 with the 6800 GT also plugged in. I tested with and without optical and hard drives plugged in. So are the possible problems down to just bad RAM …
  • I don't have anything to test voltages for the PSU, but my tech support buddy does and he's going to help me some more over the weekend. If by resetting the BIOS, you mean completely powering down and taking out the CMOS battery (or whatever it i…
  • Already tested if it was the extension cables. That's not it. Tried it without the drives; they weren't it. The memory was in correctly. Tried it incorrectly, too, just to make sure. Still there was beeping. If the memory itself is somehow scr…
  • [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Tyvar [/i] [B]North Korea has repeatedly made incrusions into its neighbor to the south violating the '53 armistace, and has most notablly engaged in a practice of kidnapping Japanese citizen at random, for god knows …
  • I can't be 100% sure it was pre-tested, but that's how it's advertised at Monarchcomputer.com I bought a motherboard/CPU combo from them, along with the 6800 GT and the power supply. Everything else was from Newegg, FrozenCPU, and some cable club o…
  • I don't feel any reason to be afraid of anything, nor do I feel intimidated by him. Neither really impedes on freedom unless you let it, and no one around me seems to allow themselves to be fearful of terrorists or intimidated by Bush so that their …
  • The power supply was connected to my vid card. The fan spun and the light on the card turned on. If it's the vid card, I'm kinda screwed since I don't know anyone else with a PCIe Express card to test with, and the motherboard doesn't have its ow…
  • (regarding the above post) Spurious relationship, based on assumptions that ignore both history and the present. Or unsubstantiated, if you prefer. [quote][i]Originally posted by Messiah[/i] [B]I wonder what Corners (countries) he is talking ab…
  • Finally got the extension cables in. Turned on the computer, and all I get is beeping. No image on the screen, and the lights on my keyboard don't go on. Tried waiting 2 minutes to see if anything happened, and nothing. The manual for my nforce4 mot…
  • What's the difference between the WinXP stuff and a third party solution for burning CDs? With the built in stuff, all I have to do is drag files onto the disk and click "burn." What more is there? My new burner came with Nero, but except for the…
  • Two days and $42 later, my cable problems are pretty much solved. I hope. Man does living in Hawaii suck. Only here can shipping cost more than what you're ordering. Maybe Alaska, too...
  • Ok, I can buy extenders from frozencpu.com, but I'm getting a little confused by the whole male/female connector thing. I always just assumed that male meant it had the pointy parts and female was where the pointy parts went into. My connector fr…
  • The case didn't come with a power supply. And CompUSA doesn't have extension cables. I haven't found it at newegg or zipzoomfly, but Directron seems to have the 24 pin extender, but no 12 V one. It does have this, though: [url]http://shop.store.y…
  • There's one here: [url]http://www.anandtech.com/casecooling/showdoc.aspx?i=2219[/url]
  • I have an Asus nForce 4 SLI. My powersupply is an OCZ ModStream. The cables are too short, probably because my Temjin 6 case has the hard drives between my motherboard and power supply, and the motherboard is oriented so that those power inputs are …
  • (Please forgive my lack of knowing the jargon.) Well, it turns out that the two cables that go from my power supply to my motherboard are too short, so I have to wait till tomorrow before I turn on my masterpiece (if Comp USA has the extension ca…
